Why not use Frontpage Expression Web or Sharepoint? Oh, are they not included in Office?
This can't be for real. I'm appalled that Word doesn't support CSS, but if MS really plans to use an HTML renderer that is so far from being standards-compliant for Office, how can they hope to be competitive?
(yes, I agree that HTML mail is silly and bloated, but many people still like it on some level)
the case of Pamela Rogers Turner.
"During an 8-year suspended sentence, she must also serve a term of 7 years and 3 months of probation, register as a sex offender, and surrender her teaching certificate for life. The sentence not only prohibits her from profiting from the case (including books and movies), but also bars her from granting interviews for 8 years."
Accidentally exposing a child to bad pictures is worse than having an affair with him?
Even if she's guilty of having surfed pr0n on a pc that kids use, it's an overreaction to prosecute her for it. She didn't intentionally expose them to porn, so at most, she should lose her teacher's license and have her reputation marred. She shouldn't go to jail.
I wonder why she didn't just turn off the affected computer. In hindsight, I'm sure she wishes she had.
I don't follow your argument against what you call "driveby" ads. Websites where you read articles are providing a service too: they're hosting content, and quite possibly paying the author of the content.
I block ads pretty much everywhere, but I don't think it's justified.
So does this mean that it's still 'ok' to compile links to infringing material hosted elsewhere, as albumbase.com does?
This finding won't last long. Deep doesn't have to be very deep, does it? Clearly if the link allows a user to bypass the font page (indx.html or whatever) then the link denies the webmaster whatever revenue might have been generated by traffic at the front page. Unless the user were smart enough to bookmark the deeper site himself, or something really diabolical like that.
Opera has one feature that totally rocks my socks. When you zoom, not only does it change text size, but it resizes images to match the new text size. Pages with little text are no longer un-readable, and no longer look stupid when you resize the text. This feature is also able to dynamically resize flash applications, so you can look at youtube videos at whatever size you want, and so forth.
I switched to Opera this summer for kicks, and now I wouldn't even consider going back to Firefox. When Firefox 2.0 came out, my convictions were solidified. A new version of a software product should always have (at least) one of two things, to make the upgrade justifiable: new features or performance enhancements. Firefox 2.0 does not have dramatically better performance than 1.5, and the new features are seriously meh. X buttons on every tab? That's a damn small increase in usability, compared to, say, the ability to resize flash videos.
Yes, I'm an Opera fanboy. I recognize that for some people switching is enough work that I shouldn't preach to them. I don't.
Opera is 100% compliant with all W3C standards, so with VERY few exceptions, any problems are with the page, not the browser.
Wow. You either are a huge troll, or you can't detect sarcasm AT ALL. Besides, if he was serious, wouldn't he be WAY too far gone for you to save him with your advice?
Too bad Docs and Spreadsheets doesn't work with Opera. Opera is head and shoulders above the rest of the browser market in everything except marketshare. >_
Was it ever that much better? There was no glorious golden age of intellectualism in America, when every boy and girl could generate Euclid's theorems and apply Newton's laws.
I'm really surprised that nobody has explained why private schools can (sometimes. quite consistently in my area, but I understand there may be exceptions) do more with less. They spend much less per student than public schools, but there is a critical difference. For any private school, most of the parents are paying tuition directly to the school. They are motivated to invest the attention necessary to cause their child to work hard. Across the board, private school students' parents are more interested in how they are doing in school.

They use the word "actioner,"...But at least that saves some characters compared to "action movie,"
ugh. Isn't an "actioner" someone who takes action in a legal sense? I haven't read Variety since I was like 15, I guess I didn't notice their lexical strangness.
The page is unavailable, by the way. Maybe they don't get slashdotted very often at that site...
Don't be so quick to jump on him for misunderstanding piracy. If you haven't been outside of America, it's easy to imagine that nobody is making money from piracy. Most Americans are unaware that in many countries there are mainstream stores that stock bootleg dvds and cds. This is a profitable enterprise and if US IP laws were respected in those countries, IP holders would go after these profits.

Gee, I wonder which side /. will take...
har har har.

Thanks for this anecdote! This is the best proof that Word is NOT a document-exchange format.

not "if she'd have," but "if she had." This is a trailer-trash mistake.

More like suing Mickey D's because their food is gone after you eat it.
Soon everyone will have been victimized, yes?

You mean a plume. A flume is a manmade waterway for transporting timber, I think. But you mean a plume.
MS Paint now supports png.
Metroid Prime a shooter? Shooters don't have a "lock on so that you can't miss" button.
SSB:Brawl will not use the motion-detection capabilities of the Wii. It will use a Gamecube controller.

Yeah, but not everyone is advanced as that. I have friends who close their browsers when they finish looking at a page.

I only meant to say that there is money in piracy, not that terrorists are the ones profiting.
