Try using a reset stylesheet, it helps a lot with IE7. I've recently crosstested a site created with a reset stylesheet and the customizations for IE7 were negligible...
DVD appeared to be pushed on us as well. But... at least it had some merit to it!
Blue-ray has plenty of honest, actual merit; it is capable of about six times the visual detail, higher frame rates (so considerably better motion depiction) and a larger color space as compared to a DVD; in fact, it is so good that just as compact disks did for audio, a Blue-ray version of a film often reveals limitations of the original recording.
Funny to see someone who believes the 80s hype about CDs. CDs have a lower "resolution" than vinyl. They just get a better average performance on a cheap reader. A good turntable and an 180 gram vinyl will have more detail than a CD.
The CDs "may reveal limitations" thing was mainly a slogan to sell CDs that were poorly remastered from the original analogue source. Ask Neil Young about CD quality. He even refused to publish some of his records on CD for decades, due to the unacceptably poor quality of the medium at the time. Only now that mastering techniques have improved has he accepted to issue "On the Beach" on CD, for example.
Check out what's happening with both the OLPC and the Asus EEE PC:
they both started distributing / selling small laptops with GNU Linux on them, in the hundreds of thousands. Suddenly, Microsoft's on both organizations' tail trying to get XP on those machines.
In the case of the EEE they've succeeded, but still versions with XP cost more and/or have lower specs.
I don't know if ASUS was "blackmailed" or "bribed" into having XP on those machines, but whatever the case this shows that GNU Linux is
a) a viable alternative for end-user PCs
b) at least, a way to get everybody to pay a lower Windows tax, by allowing producers to leverage it against Microsoft saying "if you don't give us a better discount we'll put Linux on it".
So much for the "Linux is not ready for the desktop" litany.
I've had the same problem with my home XP machine - I think I managed to block any installation, but I cannot be sure. I haven't noticed anything strange in the behaviour of that machine, but can you tell me how I make sure it isn't infected? What do I look for?
Thanks...
Anyone installed it on a newish laptop?
I've installed 6.10 on an ASUS V1JP and the only problems I had were with the sound card, especially the microphone. I had to install a RC version of the ALSA drivers and make quite a few changes to the config to make it work decently.
I was wondering whether the new release works better out of the box (if so, I'll upgrade ASAP) or not (in which case I'll wait till I have some time on my hands). I would be grateful if anybody shared their experience.
From the Article:
But the latest and most serious problems arose in March this year after the product mistakenly quarantined and even deleted Outlook and Outlook Express files for the second time. More than like an antivirus, it seems that OneCare behaves like an autoimmune disease.

I'm so proud that once in a while Italy makes the Slashdot headlines.
Bing? Like Chandler Bing? Another unlucky comedian connection for MS.
It's high time you start learning Japanese. That's the best solution.
It's just one of the best excuses to put 10 ps3s in the office and start playing massive group games.
"What? You have 10 ps3s in the office?"
"It's for our cluster computer, dear."
Come on, we're in 2008 and we still have weather?
What if MC Chocolate Cake is the name of my new Hip Hop alter ego?

To be more precise: the NSU Prinz was a German car. No Italian design in it.
In Italy it had a reputation of bringing bad luck, too.
The question is: will it run Linux?

A good solution would be make a post to Slashdot describing the issue, and hope that your boss confesses to you after reading it.
It means Expand, Extend, Extinguish, obviously.
The right address for the foundation is http://www.linux-foundation.org/ Please correct. The other domain is the usual parked domain full of ads...

Then why not PHP or Python?
Since when is ColdFusion a high-level language? Just because they use it in MySpace?
