Comment The only problem I have with DST... (Score 1) 322

is when it's over.. Yeah, sure.. I lose an hour sleep when it first changes over, but I personally like having the extra hour daylight later, and would prefer to stay on DST.. the problem is the switching back and forth that causes more issues. Eliminating timezones all together would be a major pain in the ass. Machines deal with UTC.. Most _people_ don't.. If I'm going to call someone on the coast, or even in another country. It wouldn't work out well if it was '9am' here and '9am' there (according to us both being on UTC), but they're still asleep, because it's when they'd normally sleeping (and still night time there). jmo.

Comment My own issues w/ Leopard (Score 1) 461

So I installed it this past Tuesday evening on my dual dual-core G5, w/ 8G mem, 250G hdd.. install went without consequence and it found 2 updates, one for RDC, and one for the keychain issue (neither of which caused me any issues), I did an archive+install.. My findings so far, other than the few applications that have broken...

The machine seems slower, and renders a little slower sometimes (even on an NVidia Quadro FX4500)... as well as there's a process called UserEventAgent that constantly and consistantly shows up as unresponsive in Activity Monitor.. If you kill it, it's fine for a few seconds, then back to unresponsive.. I'm hoping most of my response issues will be handled in .1 or .2.. but other than those annoyances, it's been a fairly smooth ride..

Submission + - Ethics of proxy servers

Mav writes: "I was recently asked to host a website for free in return for a lot of advertising. After querying them about how they knew the site would produce traffic they stated the site was going to be running PHPProxy (an open source web proxy). The traffic was a result of him and his contacts (nearly one thousand of them) using the site to bypass his school's firewall in order to view their MySpace pages and get access to their MSN messengers. Given all the attention social networking sites have recently received and the various laws attempting to block or control access to them I feel guilty and unsure making this available. Are there legal implications that I need to worry about? Could I be held liable if one of the students got in trouble? Most importantly, what's the moral thing to do?"
