But that doesn't detract the artistic merit of the submission. Agreed, looked at in that light I'd suggest that it actually adds to the artistic expression. I was one of a few, apparently, that the site loaded for (sans images)

The site loaded for me. So I can tell you; it does not use IIS. And it's running on a 386 so I doubt there's any USB involved. What he pulled off is a lot more interesting than what you're describing. It was a fun thing he di

I think that would defeat the point - one of the items on his site "feature" list says : Xitami web server, because it's the only one that does no caching at all, so the website is always served fresh from the floppy. So I

Thanks for letting me know, that's pricing that tells me I should spend more time looking into your product. And for the record, I wasn't trying to single you out or pick on your site - I find myself getting more and more impatien

Looks like it could be helpful but after spending over two minutes looking for pricing and not finding it I'll never know. I refuse to even try a product that won't be upfront about pricing. Don't 1) tell me I can get two mon

The article stated that the prosecutor hasn't commented on any of this yet. Everything you're attributing to the prosecutor was said by Parsons. I'm assuming the prosecutor hasn't commented because he's embarrassed

It's also become increasingly difficult, and in some cases nigh impossible, to avoid items from China. I'm older and don't need a lot beyond the food and shelter I work for, I have plenty of "stuff". But buying clot

Yes but a car and a smartphone provide so much more day to day value than the items being discussed so that's not really a good comparison. Tulips, while pretty and fragrant, won't help get work done, transport items and people to

It's not, but I can see how it seems that way - I found this with a two second search: The world population increased from 1 billion in 1800 to 7.7 billion today. I'm not going to do the math but there's something to be sai

I'd say the one that comes to mind most after Christmas is Halloween in America. It went from being All Hallows Eve, a time to celebrate the dead, especially saints past, to becoming a commercial holiday to sell costumes to kids and ca

Well the reason I linked to the second article is because it talks about how more and more it looks like the GPL is solid and enforceable. So expense aside, as time rolls on and more cases come up it's pretty clear that defendants assu

Everybody should prefer vi over Emacs. But does vi have an teledildonics mode? Seriously, I agree with what you're saying but I did a double take when I got to that part, like "why did he slip that in there?". Life is short

Yeah, seems they had a lot of fun with it and at the same time they were making history. It's a great story! I've always been quite fascinated by computer history, Unix history in particular.

I seriously doubt that former president Richard Nixon would have ever been on Twitter behaving the way our 45th president did. From what I saw the only way he was treated was to get a pass on violation after violation of Twitter's TOS.
