Using JS for something like this is a bad idea. Thanks to CNet's JavaScript hysteria (see below), more and more people seem to be turning JS off these days.

Better solution: use the IE-only conditional comments feature to show one type of input element to IE, but the image input to everyone else. Done properly, your markup will even still validate despite the proprietary cruft. (because the cruft just looks like comments to the validator and every sane browser on the planet)

That's if this is actually an issue.

sounds like no end user organizations are using it yet' - dreamchaser

No it doesn't actually say *no* end users it says *most* and most does not equate to all. You should realize that most PR statements don't actually mean what the words mean.

"it basically said that in the part you left out:" - kjart

"None went to end users" - dreamchaser

The actual words are:

"Most of Microsoft's voluminous partner base did not have copies of SBS 2003 R2 in hand yet"

In other words some of Microsoft's voluminous partner base did have it. And seeing its a PR statement out of Redmond we can assume the reality is a lot more than a few got copies got out.

This fella seems to think he bought a new server that has the R2 edition on it.

No one has still replied to my request for an explanation of what non-final core components mean. Is this the same as bugs?

Russian companys have no legal status in the UK.

Out of interest, how does that work when some of them are listed on the London Stock Exchange?

Unfortunately, that oil is proving to be more of a vulnerability than a strength with the current US administration. Any country that supplies a lot of oil to the US...

(Reads a top-15 US oil importers statistic)...

...um, maybe I should load up on supplies and move to the back woods of Manitoba before Dubya realizes who is really buttering his bread. I'll be sure to stock up on Canadian Bacon.

A critique of this fearmongering...

"...gray goo would be very difficult to design. It would be far more complex than a car--probably more complex than the Space Shuttle. General Motors recently made headlines by taking only a few months to design a car. It's completely implausible that a failing company could create an evolving gray goo by re-engineering a specialized product in a matter of weeks; this same company couldn't even solve the relatively simple problem of keeping the swarm together in a breeze. Remember that the swarm-bots don't directly replicate; they are built by assemblers using bacterial chemicals. Among other tasks, the scientists would have had to rapidly invent a way to transfer the evolved program out of the successful swarm-bots and feed it back into the assemblers or the bacteria to produce the next generation. This would require a completely new set of molecular machinery."

> Nope, the article summary is correct - nobody tried to stop the train, nobody even tried to frame a coherent warning to those who could have made a decision to stop the train.

No, no , no 'Chapter 1: A chill at the Cape' is the second such article referenced on slashdot that distorts what really happened. References to 'ice sculpture' and 'shiny red apple' do no service to the memory of the crew who lost their lives. What would better serve them is an inquiry into who made the decision to design the booster in segments and why NASA repeatedly ignored warnings from their own engineers.

"This letter is written to insure that management is fully aware of the seriousness of the current O-ring erosion problem in the SRM joints from an engineering standpoint"

"It is my honest and very real fear that if we do not take immediate action to dedicate a team to solve the problem with the field joint having the number one priority, then we stand in jeopardy of losing a flight along with all the launch pad facilities" Roger Boisjoly, Morton Thiokol July 1985

The closest I've found to what you describe is the PalmOne Treo 650 (See: http://snipurl.com/j3cu ). I pick it up on Friday so I haven't had a chance to use it personally yet, but it's supposed to have unlimited Internet access, email, etc.

If anything, space is the one place where everybody can be truly united -- political divisions don't seem to matter very much, when you're looking down at the entire Earth and see it for what it truly is -- a big rock in space that we all live on.

Leave this idiotic divisiveness down here. I think a great many wars could have been prevented if we'd shot the leaders of the opposing sides into space and let them look down on what they are really fighting over. So let's call it, in the interests of fairness, a taikosmastronaut, and leave it at that. No new terms. This is stupid.

I can't agree with you more with what you have said, but there's one thing that I'd like to point out - and that, if there is a space-race, it definitely wasn't started by the Chinese.

Do you know that Chinese are barred from participating in the International Space Station program ?

Can't blame them if they have to do everything on their own.

And you didn't even take the time to snipurl the link.

Ok, I'll burn in hell.

Anyone who hasn't listened to "I'll give you fire" from the Ruby series (on this one, I believe: http://snipurl.com/gvwa) might enjoy the context it affords this latest "smart appliance" instance.

Proving that a 20 year old quirky radio drama can still be spot on. ;-)

Google seems to disagree.

Map service URLs to be sent over email were one of the main reasons for my discovery of SnipURL.com.

Then I found out in Pennsylvania, only old people click URLs in emails.

Oh, I dunno that it matters so much. But the EDUs tend toward USSC, I note:

Read this book and decide for yourself.

The first thing you'll need is an iPod (for all of your pirated music), which you can conveniently get for free right here:

http://snipurl.com/8q12

This is totally legit, my friend just got his yesterday. All you have to do is sign up for the AOL, Netscape, or Infone offer and cancel after you get credit the next day. Then get 5 others to do it.

A lot of people are trying to get a free ipod or flat screen from this one company. There's even whole guides dedicated to it. It's pretty easy to do- i got my ipod a few days ago (signed up for aol, then cancelled after I got my credit)

How about this: Donate your liver and get 5 other people to do the same and you get a free ipod! Then you'd get tons of people to do it! Ok signing up for aol and canceling it is a bit easier i admit.

These people are so annoying- it makes the people that are legit seem illegit. For example, there's this extremely popular deal where you can get a free ipod if you sign up for aol and cancel and then get 5 friends to do the same. It's very legit and people have received their ipods. Yet because of those scammers out there, people are afraid to do it.

People may be surprised to learn that this type of thing goes on in most countries, in fact, and not only for Google results and ads, but also for some of the smaller PTC search engines.

The industry is one where you are encouraged to get paid to "read" your emails, but the only way these programs earn their money is to advertise for PTC search engines and Google results, and most people are encouraged (by the programs) to click on the Google links.

Here's a link to one: http://snipurl.com/7vwc/
