Yeah... you and me sure have very different tastes... . I prefer to squeeze every CPU cycle for the work I am doing :)

the way compiz does it may be better technnically, but is certainly not the only way. It was quite possible to use glxcompmgr (compiz' predecessor) together with kwin to achieve the famed wobble and exposé effects. http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xgl7uk.pn g http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=xgl22bc.pn g Mashing it together with a window manager does seem to make sense I admit, and I'm sure the technical reasons I don't understand are valid. Nonetheless, now if I wish to stick with kwin, I'll have to wait for the code to be transplanted from compiz to kwin, where it will undoubtedly diverge. How good or bad that is remains to be seen.

Actually, there are a class of hanzi (characters) commonly used for transliterating foreign words. For example, in the Chinese word for caffeine (ka fei yin) the first two characters are composed by taking two characters with similar sounds and adding a mouth radical to them (i.e. the square on the left). So one could technically use those kinds of characters for some kind of simple cipher or "standard nomenclature for screwing up words."

Of course, it would be a simple thing for the censors to block that sort of thing because you would have a standard -- so you're probably better off using *real* encryption to connect to computers outside of China, which do the searching for you.

It looks like Microsoft is trying hard to tell they make the web work for me...

Their struggle is to get a heading on an otherwise mostly empty web page show correctly.

They fail it.

Seriously, if they can't even make a title graphic look right, just fire your webmasters.

My brother knew how to do it cross-platform, when he was 13, a multi-billion dollar company don't?

It would appear so.

The real question we have to ask is can they make robotic puppies as cute as these?

On a related note, with apologies to the 4chan meme:

IT'S A TARP!!1

Tesco is great and everything but, do they sell both Micro&soft and Linux side by side like Walmart does?

Excel 12 (aka Office 2003, currently in development) will have 16k columns x 1M rows.

Well, let's take a look-see.

* Fires up Excel 12 Beta 1 *

Hey, neat! Looky there, it's true. XFD1048576... what a cell reference :)

Excel does act a little weird when you get down to the last 20 or so rows/columns. It starts having a hard time drawing the window resulting in a lot of black boxes. Odd, but not really unexpected in the first beta.

"1 more" in this Firefox capture is bold, but definitely not antialiased. Take another look zoomed in. Maybe your browser cache is having problems (somehow?)

GITS as y'all likely know, was originally a manga by Masamune Shirow. The movies and (I beleive) the TV series are by Mamoru Oshii.

There's a lot to say, but trying not to repeat what you can just websearch for yourselves, the TV series is more of a drama, focusing on character interactions; the book is more a geeky indulgence in dreaming the extentions of future technology, eastern philosophy, and impossibly spankalicious babes.

Which is why I mention the REAL GITS2. the second movie was Oshii's extention of his first movie. the manga GITS2 is much more the sequel I hoped for, getting far deeper into the philosophy and revealing the main character's metaphorical parallelling the japanese creation myths most especially involving the jewel, the sword, and the mirror.

here's a few scans to whet y'all's whistle:

the book is available at amazon and finer local comic retailers.

i'm amazed at how silently this book's been introduced in america. it's a travesty, as it's so much more fulfilling to GITS fans than the second movie.

Well, judge for yourself.

Firefox: http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/8753/picture11mb. png

Safari: http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/4291/picture36q n.png

This particular text doesn't happen to be unevenly kerned in Firefox, but the un-antialiasing should be obvious. Now check out Camino.

By the way, wouldn't it look even worse if it were QuickDraw? Those algorithms are old, old, old--QuickDraw text is what you see when you launch Carbon apps, and not even all Carbon apps, but the ones that suck extra special, like AOL's AIM client. ATSUI is Quartz's text toolkit, which I think Gecko uses (but perhaps only on a glyph-by-glyph basis). Could be wrong on this.

Well, judge for yourself.

Here are some examples of advertising in-game. This is inside Valve-made maps, not custom maps.

However I though the whole point of an MP3 player is to listen to the music you like, not what the DJ likes.

i used to think the same thing too until i came back from Oahu,hawaii from vacation just a couple days ago. EVERYWHERE i went everyone had ipods and a RAZR! everyone was lounging on the beach and kalkaua ave with them. I was stuck listenning to the local radio station fm 103.5 on a portable radio and i realised how great it would be if i had the creative M's built in FM tuner.

when you are a true music aficianado you usally listen to your music ALOT. i have over 10,000 songs sorted by year all the way from 1993 - not counting the cd's i haven't ripped yet - and i get tired of it caused i've listened to them so much. So visiting somewhere else it's cool to listen to local stations who might have a different vibe to them, not to mention getting local info on the parties and happenings - like zansa bar's parties on kuhio ave. by the way I'd like the creative m to get a bigger hd cause i would be on it like white on rice. check out these comparisons between the M and the everybodyPOD.

A few years ago, Amazon offered me this bizarre, yet strangely appropriate, recommendation. I believe the screenshot I took speaks for itself (yes, it's real and undoctored):
