There was a major problem with that a while ago, but I guess they fixed it. IE is REALLY picky about having the CSS formatted exactly right, or it will crash. If you had a missing semi-colon in the wrong place, it'll crash. If you had a missing pound-sign, it'll crash. Maybe they fixed that now, but it was a major problem before.
I want to know why I can't put standard DDR memory on my video card. Why does a video card cost soooo much, just because of 64MB of memory, when memory prices are hitting the floor, even with DDR?

I must continue to point out that the Mozilla team still refuses to fix their anti-popup engine, because it's not a part of Netscape: shown here on bug 122927.
I don't think it includes the DMCA (since it was passed in 1998), but ACLU's Scorecard has some nice info on who voted for who (at least on their issues). The EFF really needs something like this. Voting may not be the best way to get an issue across, but at least it's one way that we have an option of using.

That's why electronica is getting to be popular. An exploration of sound, instead of just trying to use the same guitar/bass/drum pattern with different notes.
I'm surprised nobody who's familar with it is trying to activate that thing all the time. Try to activate it at +6 MPH just to annoy everybody. No cop is going to give you a ticket for +6 MPH, and if other people take suit, they might realize how useless it is. (Then again, they could just go to MPH+10.)
Seriously, what's up with people who are amazed at uptimes over a month? I've only seen the Windows side of things do that, as my Linux box has been up for over six months. I've seen boxes up for as much as a year, and it was only down to upgrade the kernel.

The problem is that it's not backwards-compatible. Sure, everybody should be using HTML/4.0, but it was only recently (correctly) implemented with today's browsers, so a FONT tag (and other "obsolete" tags) is still useful for the 4.0 browsers and such.
Voting is the least effective way of getting a political point across. Better ways are PACs, writing to your congressperson, protest rallies, or targetted commericials. By voting, you're merely expressing your dislike or like for a person, not on a specific issue. Plus, you only vote a maximum of twice a year, so it's not like you can immediately vote if the next super-DMCA goes on the floor (oops, too late).
I hear Russia can declare an immediate vote of congressmen, given certain situations. I think it's if the president vetos a bill several times. Probably to prevent deadlock or congress from getting away with murder several months/years before an election. This is one of the reasons why a current democracy will thrive better than an old-world democracy. (If somebody from the Motherland can give me some details, I'd appreciate it.)
Like when Bush and pals purposefully used technological miscalculations to remove thousands of Democratic Florida voters from the voting pool. That's what I call corruption on a DB admin level.
Yeah, if the W3C standard ment a damn. Microsoft co-writes the standard, and then writes a non-compliant browser. Unforunately, since they have 99.9% of the market, then 99.9% of the websites will be "obsolete". I render my web site with the W3C standard, yet I have to deal with IE's EXTREMELY annoying lack of support for CSS and proper JavaScript. (I've had to deal with plenty of "Works in Netscape, but not IE" bugs.) Nevermind that this property isn't supported in CSS or that command in JavaScript reports something much different in IE than the web standard.
Give Netscape all the grief you want, but at least they stuck to standards. Propeirtary tags be damned because all of the real tags were there and did when they needed to do.
(Not to mention that the W3C validator is extremely anal about "obsolete" tags. Maybe I want a FONT tag in one piece of text that I'm never going to change. Why do I need a CSS name for EVERYTHING?)
I'm still irated at the bugs that are STILL on my voted list, and I publicly gripe at them for not fixing them. I'm not a C++ programmer, so you can't just say "if you don't like it, code it yourself", but I try to contribute the best way I can: buglisting, comments, voting, and bitching. Most of these bugs would be VERY simple fixes for the programmers that are familar with the system, but even with that, some of them are over a year old.
The cancellation of bug 122927 really angered me, especially when I get a comment like: "Since the UI for this Mozilla feature has been intentional removed from Netscape, it is difficult to justify wasting any of my company's resources on fixing related bugs. There are plenty of other crashers on my plate which are much more important than a pref Netscape customers will probably never discover!"
Don't get me wrong: I love Mozilla. However, the corporate politics are starting to interfere with Mozilla's development, despite its open-source status.
If this was the case, why could have ICANN just piled on these massive amounts of cases? I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard to do the following commands:

Do you know how ridiculous that sounds? Being a monopoly is not A Good Thing, and though it is technically legal, it doesn't take long before they start to abuse their power.
However, the hands-free kit is more trouble than it's worth. I don't use the cell phone every time I get into a car, and even given that the hands-free kit is already set up (with lighter adaptor already plugged in), it still takes a bit of time to install the phone into the kit, and then to answer a call. You have to tune to a certain channel, and then hit the answer key on the phone. Nevermind trying to dial while driving...

You can make a great system that is nothing like Windows. Actually, it's already been done, it's called an Apple Mac :-).
Sorry, but I'd prefer to use a computer that doesn't have proprietary and expensive hardware built into it.

As a matter of interest, are Google under any legal obligation to provide an "fair" search?
Obviously not, because SearchKing doesn't provide a fair search. It's nothing but searchable ads.
