Polish ISP blocks gimp.org and other sites
One of largest if not largest Polish ISP (former telephone monopolist) blocks access to gimp.org and other sites (like git.or.cz or some Polish IRC servers)... again! There were some problems in October, but they were resolved around a day; this time it is a week that they persist. This of course without any announcement or warning!
People suspect that this ISP started to use MAPS (Mail Abuse Prevention System: SPAM backwards) blacklist in some thick-handed attempt to curb spam. Well, accroding to Wikipedia you have to know how to use it, and I guess they haven't tech savvy people in decision for that. Gaah!
Of course one can use one of many anti-block / on-line proxy sites, it is usually just inconvenient...

RE: Anchor tags are for wusses
Those "links" (*shudder*) doesn't work with tabbed browsing (open in New Tab and like), and IIRC IE7 is first IE to include tabbed browsing.

Same thing for tags ... sometimes I miss CVS as branches/tags didn't use this wacky URL thingy for that.
Are you serious? SVN's branching is far more elegant and easy than CVS's. I love how everything is essentially just a directory structure and you can lay it out however you want.
"Branching by copying" (even if copying is cheap), and putting branches into the same namespaces as directory tree of
a project are onw of the worst Subversion ideas.To have branches implemented correctly try <a href=""http://git.or.cz">Git.

RE: Don't trust SSL!
One of the TRUE signs of a secure and/or encrypted transaction is NOT just a SSL "certificate" on a web page (those can just be bought, some are actually completely fake) or whatever your browser says to make you THINK that a site is "secure" (these schemes only enrich the Verisigns of the world) but the "shtml" part of a URL, which if fact you DO see in the URL immediately after you click "register" or "submit" on this site.
Actually shtml extension has nothing to do with secure connection; in default configuration it indicates use of SSI, Server Side Includes, mechanism to generate page on server side.
