Heh. I had friends who used to do A/V work at various hotel ballrooms for conventions and the like. Even when they weren't working, they could put on black t-shirts, throw a wrapped up extension cord over a shoulder, and waltz in through the service entrance, straight through the kitchen, and nab a LARGE drum of Hagen Daas from the freezer without breaking a problem.
Sure, but if a user has poor vision, your site is not the only one they'll have problems with. If they're legally blind and have their own machine, they will use things like OS X's Universal Access settings to magnify parts of the screen at the system level. No need to do anything special with the site, per se, though keeping it text based rather than with graphical navigation elements would keep more options available.
Also, a vector format such as Flash might have it's place if the interface is not embedded in a fixed height/width.
Only reason you're a crank is because you're still on dialup. Just not enough reasons to justify that in this day and age, in my opinion. Not a slam, just an opinion.
The main IE feature that I miss in Safari is the ability to tab to other form elements, including pulldowns, check boxes and radio buttons. IMHO, the less I have to reach for the mouse while I'm generating input, the better.
Yeah, I've got a D from the first note of David Gilmour's first guitar solo in "Comfortably Numb." I think it's the only note I've held onto that I'm aware of.
When you say bullet time, do you mean the bullet CGI'd in? or just the camera panning? My understanding was that it was just an extension of the virtual camera system, which was originally developed using actual film. (Though the patent also covers use with digital capture...)
I'm surprised that Dave Matthews Band shows up on the list. Sure, they have the right to protect their studio recordings as much as the next guy, but if the data being pulled is based on song title, the number of legally taped live performances is going to throw a false positive more times than not.
I imagine it more like the Infocom Hitchhiker's Guide game when you're trying to get the babblefish... You go through an elaborate series of steps in a percice order, only to realize you forgot to pick up a vital piece of the equation 50 steps earlier.
Heh. Yeah, they've marketed this movie really poorly, IMHO. They should have listed the characters involved from day one of the commercials. And the LXG moniker has to go...
Too bad there's only about an hour of game play in the demo... Really, is it too much to ask for more gameplay with such a large download? Really a disappointment. When the final version is released, the demo will barely be a memory...
I kept AppleCare for my Powerbook 5300 for as long as they'd let me extend the warranty. Twice I had problems with the wiring to the display crapping out on me (they ran through the hinge, which always seems like a bad idea...) Both times I got it back via Airborne Express within a week at no cost, and in one case, I'm pretty sure they just replaced the whole display.
Another time I was running a Workgroup Server 95 (Quadra 9500 running A/UX) as a print server. I was having problems at 7 AM CST on a Sunday morning. Called the support number and was patched through to an engineer at his house (I could hear a parrot in the background...) and he walked me through the solution.

Harlan Ellison doesn't own a computer either, I believe. He still writes all his stuff on an Underwood typewriter last I heard.

The VCS3 was also used by Pink Floyd and Jean-Michel Jarre, among others. Impressive little synth.
Beauty and the Beast beat Aladdin by a year, with the ballroom scene...
Close. All the animatics were made in Final Cut Pro and many of those scenes were in pretty good shape as roughs before they were ever handed to ILM.

Actually, it was in the movie too...

There sure is a lot of "coming soon" on their site if it's promoting an event next weekend...
Small, silent and powerful enough to kill a man? Flatulence!
Multi-region DVD players are easy to find. The question is, does your consumer level TV set handle both NTSC and PAL singals properly?
Discrete mathematics. Makes me want to paraphrase Lazarus Long...
"Math is not necessarily something to be ashamed of--but do it in private and wash your hands afterwards."
"A mathematician who calculates in public may have other nasty habits."
and my personal addition, a variation on Clarke's Law, "Any sufficiently advanced mathematics is indistinguishable from surrealism"

As I recall, the warning card before the UK release of the Attack of the Clones DVD explicitly mentions that it is not licensed for viewing on buses.
And who needs curisve when all your tests are Scantron(tm) anyway?
Safari 1.0b2 doesn't seem to load it...
SCO??? Novell??? I thought UNIX was owned by Nell Scovell...
Was that (the apple ISP) called eWorld?
(er, make that Quadra 950...)
