I disagree with this statement. DomainTheNet, for example, have a horrific interface if you want to manage multiple domains for multiple entities. I have had cases where changing one domain's contact information affected the other domains. Isoc's method of "handles" is non-intuitive for non-programmers, but it is very concise in who a change affects.

Re: [Haifux] [HAIFUX Workshop] The Web Rant Workshop
Hi Everybody, To allow more people to join the rant workshop (even those who cannot come to the meeting physically), we shall "broadcast" the list of websites we're approaching using three means: 1. www.haifux.org/233/website.txt (which will be updated whenever we move to a new website - do not forget to refresh the page, not from cache!). 2. the haifux' group at linkedin (where we will post the website we are dealing with) 3. for those of you who will google-talk me. You are more than welcome to join us in this quest. If you would like to have other means of communicating the current "target", please let me know by private email. Best regards and see you later, Orr.

It will be obvious that a small group of zealots is "targeting" them. Rather, it should appear to the sites that there are genuine problems that regularly affect everyday users. We should coordinate so that each site gets a letter from a different user every week, and don't even mention the browser or OS in the initial contact letter. I will gladly volunteer to coordinate this: interested users should "register" with me, and once a week (not always on the same weekday) I will send to them the address of a site to write to. That will ensure a steady flow of non-related complaints: a tactic that is much more effective than 5 complains all at once. I presented this idea before, and advocates such as Shlomi Fish from Linux-IL showed interest. I will organize everything now, and come to the meeting prepared. -- Dotan Cohen http://bido.com http://what-is-what.com ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
Re: [Haifux] [HAIFUX Workshop] The Web Rant Workshop
Dotan hi, Even though we haven't tried as a community to approach such webmasters on a regular basis, history shows that people approached webmasters as individuals, and usually it did not succeed. Maybe trying as a group would have a better effect. Now, approaching several websites at the same time should be OK, as usually they do not correlate and share information about: "hey XXX & YYY & ZZZ & WWW all sent me complaints about W3C compliance...". Moreover, history shows that long term coordinated events are harder to pull over one time energy spike. Cheers, Orr.

In fact, only Israeli sites seem to have the "my way or the highway" attitude, and even that has changed since IE 7 came out.

xen bandwidth limiting

same application code - different behavior with kernels 2.4 vs. 2.6
Hey, I'm playing with a Linux embedded box. Some time ago, we (finally) switched from kernel 2.4.36 to 2.6.18.8. Naturally libc was also upgraded. What have not changed was the sources of the applications: Firefox 2.0 running on top of custom X server. GTK/pango/cairo/etc are also identical in both systems. So far so good, yet we have found out that the kernel/libc upgrade basically broke the customer's code: CSS/Javascript timers driven application, running inside the browser, which started to run much slower, from user experience point of view. Unfortunately, the customer's user experience is extremely important ;) Black box analysis showed differences in system behavior, see bellow. Any idea about what else should be checked are greatly appreciated. And yeah, the final goal is a happy customer. Please share you thoughts - bounce some ideas. Thanks in advance, ~baum - TOP 2.4 The system CPU is 5% idle, utilization is between browser and X server in 60%-40% ratio. 2.6 The system CPU is 80% idle, utilization is between browser and X server in 60%-40% ratio. - STRACE (strace -c -p PID / during 100 secs).

I like your way of thinking :) I actually tried the install yesterday, ran into problems, ran out of time, and walked away. My iPhone 2G's current functionality and data were all left intact. If I could dual-boot a 3GS, I'd be very very happy. So far it's only for iPhone 2G, but I expect it'll be ported forward soon enough. The version of Android working now is 1.6, but it's expected that newer versions will be a simple drop-in upgrade. Also, not quite full functionality yet. Calling works, as does wifi, web browsing, and even multi-touch, but apparently there are big chunks missing. Not being a current Android user, I couldn't tell you what they are. --sambo ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
