Internet Explorer 8 has correctly rendered the Acid2 page in "standards mode". Lots of questions raised by this: How inconvenient is it to switch into and out of standards mode? Do you have to navigate menus or is there a button on the statusbar? Will it automatically switch between the two, based on whether or not the site demands IE7 or not? Is standards mode on by default?
Besides the DVD-playback, what is so important about this? Vista machines were available from day one of its release. No major OEMs are still selling Win2K. OEMs will always move on to the next OS offered by MS, Canonical, Ret Hat, Novell, etc. Ubuntu PCs being easier to find on Dell's site would be more newsworthy.
Early reports indicate that devices that have these batteries will also incorporate your technology as well, increasing battery lifespan a hundred-fold.
and if you sit at a computer like most of us here, you get to have just enough muscle to be able to walk 1: Most of us can't walk. We can barely move our fingers enough to get the mouse across the screen on maximum sensitivity. We are tube-fed, sit on toilets, and a few people choose to breath on their own. The gamers among us might be better able to move their entire right arm from the mouse to the keyboard and back if they can't use just one hand to play.
2: The elite among us have perfected EEG-based input, so moving the mouse is no longer even necessary. We can just lie there. (Try playing Halo that way!)
Slashdot Mirror
He said that the only released browsers that support it are Konqueror and Safari 2.02. A beta is not a final release.
No, it's just that he's already waited this long, and FF3 is already in (2nd) beta. Why upgrade just in time to upgrade again?
IE8's release date has been pushed back 3 months.

I they don't find it funny anymore. Those that do don't seem to be getting mad points.
At this point he might as well wait for FF3.
Taco still seems to be hanging around, too.
Here's a hint: Al Gore was born 9 months later.

Here's my +1 Funny.
If you say so...
Try the "Print Screen" key.
She has OS 10.5, so no worries.
IIRC, California hasn't passed a budget on time for 20 years (I think).
A little FUD can go a long way with the right people.
No, the term for that is "flatline". Honestly, is anybody falling for this after the "I'm Feeling Lucky" Google goatse links?
What on earth is behind this URL? NoScript blocks the entire thing.
That's not human.

You would start getting 1 fps, rather than 2. That's a very visible difference.
Is the "P" supposed to be missing from the end of your sig?
Because he doesn't like Classic. He likes the XP-style start menu, not 2K.
Wow. How does it sound after all that?
