Shouldn't this be accomplished by styling form elements via some sort of CSS thingy? Isn't that why we have CSS?
It certainly should. Unfortunately, no browser I'm aware of supports applying CSS styles to radio buttons or checkboxes. Until one does, I'd rather do without than apply this sort of JavaScript hack to it.
This looks nice but, as many seem to forget about, the keyboard functionaility (eg: Tab then Spacebar to select) just isn't there.
Except that is is there. The checkboxes and radio buttons work with Tab and Spacebar/Enter to select. I just tried it with Firefox. TFA even says "Being an accessibility advocate and lover of CSS/XHTML design the solution had to be both accessible and fall back nicely to unstyled radio/check boxes where support is not available."
But, I rather like python and am fairly proficient at it. But I might pick this up, just to see if it has any relevant information.
I'd highly recommend it, even if you don't do a lot of C programming. For instance, big chunks of Python's os module are thin wrappers around POSIX systems calls. By knowing how those calls work at a low level, you'll be better able to leverage them in your Python code.
As mentioned, Fedora has installed with a software firewall activated for a long time, but a hardware firewall is a good idea. Then, pretend both of those don't work. Keep unnecessary network daemons turned off and keep your box fully patched as often as possible.
The first two episodes aired once already in the US during "Giant Robot Week" and got abysmal ratings. Gundam SEED did poorly as well and was shifted from Saturday evenings to late night. It seems giant robots don't bring in US ratings so I expect Eva will soon be keeping Detective Conan company in the post midnight hours.
Plug ADSL/Cable modem in one end, plug mom, dad, sis, and your computers in the other end. Instant security. Asking users to configure their own subnet and then create their own stateful firewall ("What's 'stateful'? What's a 'firewall'?") isn't realistic.
Home users would buy a hardware firewall with routing and DHCP, plug it in, and get a home network that doesn't allow incoming connections by default. Just like they do now with NAT boxes. The only difference is that all the machines on their subnet would have a real IP address which could be opened up through the firewall for BitTorrent use, individual SSH servers or whatever.
In a few months FC4 will be obsolete and FC5 will be out and so on and so forth.
6 months. It's always 6 months between Fedora releases.
I've had kernel updates break things also, but typically a new kernel will arrive to put things right before long. It wouldn't be bleeding edge if we didn't bleed once in awhile.
For one, all portables that do last longer, are weaker and less capable.
If you're using a PSP to emulate a GBA (or some other portable), what do you gain in exchange for 7 less hours of battery life? It hardly seems worth the effort to do away with one already inexpensive gadget.
The proper thing to do is have all password requests result in a "password sent to email address" style reply, whether the account exists or not. That way someone requesting a password doesn't know which accounts are valid. Any sort of "account not found" message sent to an untrusted client is simply bad security by the site designer.
This hardly stops them even today. Look at most Anime discs and the like. You could easily fit the entire series on a single disc, but they split it up into 3-4 eps per disc (if you're lucky).
You don't want to see 650 minutes of animation (an average 26 episode series) with dual audio tracks on a single DVD. Even the HK bootleggers don't try and cram them that full.
The reason legitimate anime companies put 3-4 episodes per disc is economical. They've tried putting more episodes per release at a higher price point (Fruits Basket) but it didn't sell well whereas the 2 episodes/disc release of Gantz at a low price point is doing great last I heard. But in any case, they'll continue to release only a few epsiodes per disc once the HD formats arrive simply because they'd go out of business otherwise. At least they should look nice.
Sega and Atari failed to make their consoles profitable, which is why they stopped making them. Last I heard, Nintendo's consoles themselves continue to be profitable which alleviates any need to be #1 in order to make up costs on software sales.
In the Shadowrun world, everyone carries a single device called a pocket secretary, or pocket sec, which carries all your info (planner) can communicate through any means(email, im, phone), record video(dig. camera.) etc.
The way things are going, I expect this to become a reality.
I wouldn't be surprised, but I expect it'll take Apple to design one people actually want to use.
Ouch. Although most licensing costs are easily payed back considering they [b]sell it all to Cartoon Network[/b]. Of course all this is why I don't buy DVDs... fansub DVD-rips look better, sound better, are smaller, and cost nothing but a few hours on bittorrent.
No anime company makes money selling their shows to the Cartoon Network. They often have to pay for the privelege and use the exposure to bolster DVD sales.
Still, more and more people are sticking with their inferior downloaded fansubs rather support the shows they're enjoying which isn't helping the industry any either.
The worst heresy I've seen recently was Bandai putting 26 24-minute episodes of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex on 7 DVDs, and trying to charge up to $30 each for them. Considering that a single dual-layer DVD can fit all 26 episodes encoded at basically-perfect 1600kbs Xvid along with 6-channel AC3 audio, they have no right to spread out 11 hours of video to 7 disks. Its just an utter ripoff.
Most recent anime series arrive in this format with 24-26 episode spread across 6-7 individual volumes. Because anime is still a niche market, this is often the only viable way to sell them in order to make back the licensing and production costs. One might argue that they'd sell more units by releasing the entire series in one shot, but you can be sure they've already thought of it and know it's not possible if they hope to make a profit.
Be glad you're not in the R2 market where an entire anime TV series might be released on 2 episodes per disc.
We don't know if it was totally unnecessary yet, though. It's obvious they're building to something and now it's a matter of finding out what. I'm interested in finding out who the culprit is: Sontarans? 60s-style time travelling Daleks? Something new?
I'm hoping the same if only for the sake of some consistency. But once they've exceeded the established limit of regenerations, you can be sure they'll find a way to bypass it for the sake of bringing new leads into the role. The whole concept was invented to serve the show not vice versa.
By contrast, the most valuable resource in a film is, arguably, the time.
The entire Arthur/Prosser/bypass scene takes 1 minute and 20 seconds in the radio play (I just checked). It contains two jokes and establishes both characters. Cutting those jokes to get to something else might seem like efficiency, but I feel that's missing the point.
While I don't doubt they could run to 200+ episodes, they have not done so yet. Many series get killed at fairly arbitrary times
A lot of manga-based shows like Inu-Yasha go off the air because they simply run out of manga to animate and so they end abruptly - occasionally getting finished off in OVAs. Some get made-for-TV endings (Midori no Hibi) and some get made-for-TV filler (Rurouni Kenshin). Since Naruto is due to run out of manga pretty soon, it could go either way.
Unfortunately, CN and Pioneer parted company which is too bad, because Pioneer has a lot of good programs to offer.
Pioneer (now Geneon) and CN haven't completely parted company. Samurai Champloo and Paranoia Agent are both coming to Adult Swim. But some of their shows like ROD:TV and Last Exile wind up on G4.
I'd rather watch high quality dubs than poor quality fansubs. In my experience, fansubs are usually really crappy video quality, while dubs (on the net) are usually ripped from DVD and are much beter quality.
Fansubs typically come out at low quality because they're done on a fast deadline. Many fansub groups crave popularity so they work to get the show subbed and on the torrent as fast as possible. So the quality suffers.
DVDs often have more accurate subtitles and the quality of dubs is good (in general) and continues to improve because the majority of the DVD buying market demands it.

No no. Clearly Episode III should've had Jar Jar becoming the new ambassador to Alderaan.
It certainly should. Unfortunately, no browser I'm aware of supports applying CSS styles to radio buttons or checkboxes. Until one does, I'd rather do without than apply this sort of JavaScript hack to it.

Yeah, the minute my friends get around to the back of the house I'll hear:
"What a piece of junk!"

I would if I had to keep the tag on even after I've bought the item.

At one point, yes. But the date's been pushed back to next week.

Just about anything else portable has better battery life.
