  3. Re:When is a horse not a horse? on ADA Doesn't Apply to Web · · Score: 1
    Personally I think the ADA had a point if only becuase I believe in simple sites with good designs (however if you check my URL you will see something ugly, dis-organized, and "stoopid")

  8. Re:No brainer on Interview with Taylor & Pennington from Red Hat · · Score: 2

    but the point is, when you have someone visiting your house, and they use the bathroom, you want them to be able to use either one, and expect that pressing down on that handle beside the thing that looks like a toilet to actually flush. As opposed to the one where it flushes and the other where it would merely change the color of the toilet shaped object.

  15. Re:Cache the whole CD? on An Overview of Quad Band Memory · · Score: 2

    That, I believe is an issue with how half-life was created, not the system. some of the half-life mods use much larger maps and never have the "loading" issue that the original half-life has. and these are more more detailed maps than the original. but I really now nothing about this. maybe someone in the know can add more?

  21. Re:No Star Office? on HP Drops Microsoft Word in Favor of WordPerfect · · Score: 2

  23. Re:How it works for pro sports athletes on Advice on Income Taxes for the "Virtual Office" · · Score: 2

    well, here is a counter example. I live in PA, but work for a MD company, in MD. I pay PA income tax, and no MD income tax. so unless professional athletes get a more complicated deal, because they cover so many states, I think you're wrong. who knows. anyone actually an accountant around here?

  25. Re:alternatives? on Diamonds - Are They Really Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    I think what he is saying is that the same government that says "buy drugs and you support terrorism" is the one that made drugs illegal, and thus expensive on the black market. if it wasn't illegal to grow opium and process it yourself, do you really think that the Taliban would have been exporting it to the US? something to think about.
