Warum der WLAN Login so ätzend ist...

Hallo,

wir mussten vor das eigentliche login einen Apache als Loadbalancer
und Schrottabweiser installieren, der nur richtige http Anfragen
an das eigentliche gateway lässt. Damit ist nun leider die Information
über den ursprünglich angesurften Link verloren.

Man muss also mit der Lösung nun einfach leben und sich dran gewöhnen,
sorry.

Dell Studio XPS 16 opened

Today I had to open my (quite) new Dell Studio XPS 16 to change its harddrive as Dell wasn't able to get me a new firmware. (Funnily the new HD HAS the new firmware...)

Now everything seems to be quiet and working (before the G-Force sensor made the HD click every once in a while).

Anyway, thanks at the Dell Support and a big F********* at Seagate for only releasing firmware upgrades to OEMs...

PS: The HD is a Seagate ST9500420ASG 500GB 7200RPM with free-fall sensor. The bad revision is 0002SDM1 and the good one 0003SDM1.

Amazon doesn't like Opera

Can you spot the difference?

vs.

Amazon.DE does heavy Browser sniffing on the server side! They send Opera a version with a big javascript portion missing! (Funnily they don't remove all of it and thus you get strange JS errors...)

I find this totally unacceptable! Especial as Opera has no problems with those JS parts. As soon as you mask as FF everything is fine!

Somebody at Amazon should really fix this. I hate to mask as a different browser as it distorts the stats...

HTML 5 and Opera (by David Storey)

Choose Opera: What about HTML 5? When will we see <audio> and <video> in Opera?

David: Opera is committed to both Ogg Theora and Ogg Vorbis for video and audio respectively. These will not only work in HTML 5 but also SVG 1.2, which also includes video and audio elements. We chose Ogg as they are open codecs that don't require a licence fee to deliver to the range of platforms Opera ships on. Mozilla and Google put their stake in the ground with Ogg. Work is on going at Opera and we hope to ship it in the next public version of Opera desktop that includes a Presto upgrade. This will be Presto 2.4, and includes a lot of other niceties such as CSS 3 Backgrounds and Borders (yes, finally border-radius or rounded corners!), CSS transitions and transforms, and a lot more. Its shaping up to be a really nice release as far as developers are concerned. I can't comment on when this will be released but expect a Labs or Alpha/Beta release for developers to test the new features out before it goes final.

I'm so excited!!! :D
