That's exactly what we have now. Lease a dedicated line. They won't screw with your traffic, or your transfer rate. But they'll charge you 10-20x what DSL costs.
Why would he jump on the beta if he's slow to change? He'll have to decide what matters more, won't he?
Nobody's stopping him from using 1.0.
Or IE, or Opera, or something Webkit-based. Somebody whining about not being able to run an alpha or beta web browser while still have every pixel exactly where they're used to having it, needs to get a little perspective.
IE7 was pretty much a direct response to Firefox. So, if you're a Windows user, you benefit regardless.
The web does not need more so-called innovation that does not work across browsers. Let the web developers develop, that is where the innovation that end-users will enjoy most will happen. Having MS embrace/extend/extinguish everything is not in any user's best interest, just Microsoft's.
That said, at least the IE team is getting their act together now.
I couldn't find it either...it's really called ImgLikeOpera. It looks like the author hasn't made a blog post in a couple of months, and hasn't released a build on mozilla.org in six.
I saw this link on mozilla.org, however:

That should be a FF3 version of the add-on.
It allows you to load a page text-only, then get the images later on if you want to.
If you're only in business for the profits, then all profits might be equal. But many people serve a certain niche because they feel that it needs serving, or they just enjoy doing that specific thing. I'm sure the health food store I live next to sells more tortilla chips than wheat germ, but it's the less popular stuff that sets them apart.
Actually, I worked at this place, and all the money was in supplements. But we had a deli, which was not very profitable. But it got people in the store, and the margins got made up on the (mostly bs unfortunately) suppplements.
What you posted still does not address the argument that what Bush's office did was not actually "business as usual." Again, the Gore thing comes down to taking up telephone time. There is a difference between making calls and tapping them. OTOH I don't totally disagree with you, but you're gonna need some better examples then a DNC phone-a-thon.
But he didn't. Not officially, anyway. Recall that they put both charges (one of which was perjury) before the Senate, where the majority of votes was not guilty.
Besides, it came down to the working definition of "sexual relations" used during the Jones deposition. Which, obviously, was much narrower than anyone outside that courtroom would have applied. But perjury happens inside the courtroom. So I'd say that while he lied to the American people, he didn't lie to a judge. IMO the obstruction of justice charge held more water. And he did get more guilty votes on that one, but not the necessary 2/3.
Read in after-hours though. I commend him for doing it but in no way is it an indicator of Congress's current mood toward our (apparently childish) president.
I think that we'd hear more serious talk about impeaching Bush if it wasn't for Clinton's impeachment. Everyone saw how far it went last time, and maybe it rattled everyone...it's probably not going to get tried again for a long time. The thread of politically-charged impeachments is way up there in terms of scariness (though not as scary as a six-week conflict turning into a five+ year war). I think they were acting tough but sort of pooping their pants at the same time.
The solution should not require playing games. Rather, it should involve kneecapping Charter's officers. Also, maybe whoever did the kneecapping could scream over and over, "you're just a pipe, you're just a pipe."
My understanding is that the ISP creates profiles of its users by recording the URLs they go to and breaking them down into keywords. Mostly they are interested in what you type into search engines. Those profiles get sent to NebuAd, who has relationships with ad houses. I don't know who specifically, but I'm guessing Doubleclick & the like.
Those ads, which are already third-party and are not served by the domain you're visiting, are chosen based on the profile from the ISP rather than traditional methods (like scanning the text of the page the ad is on or asking the site owner to pick out relevant ad keywords).
You can set a cookie to say, "no thanks, just give me the ad that would have been there". You cannot set a cookie to opt-out of having your communication listened to, because cookies are domain-specific, and for the ISP to see the cookie at all, they'd have to scan your traffic anyway.
It's not that simple. Municipal and regional governments rarely let in secondary cable providers. The vast majority of ares with cable TV in the US are served by a single company.
Love it or leave it is great for normal companies, in normal markets. It does not work on companies like Charter who enjoy local monopolies.
That said, I did threaten to leave them if they rolled it out nationwide. Doubt they gave a crap. It'd hurt me more since I don't live close enough to the CO for DSL.
Oh, absolutely. Most everyone I know believes in God and does not doubt that some sort of creation took place. There's a whole spectrum of thought there, and the vast majority of people have no reason not to be sincere in their beliefs.
I was referring more to the Discovery Institute, CSC, the various anti-evolution leagues of the past, and generally just the guys at the top of the "movement". These people are professionally involved. They make arguments against evolution that are often sophisticated, at least in style. If these people can understand the finer points of taxonomy, then why can't they see that they're walking on a planet full of evidence for evolution?
Also, they have no problem with propaganda, referring to acceptance of evolution as Darwinism, or calling it a religion of its own, or saying "it's just a theory", even though they know *damn well* that scientists use that word to mean something very different, and things that undergo peer-review aren't religious.
I'm actually giving them the benefit of a doubt: rather than say that they're completely crazy, I'll just say they're lying.
Again, this is the guys writing the stuff and stirring up the courts. Not my or possibly your family, who believe in God and did not spend semesters studying the philosophy of science. They don't understand what it means for something to unfalsifiable. They just know what they believe and rightfully disregard that which they see as word games.
I went to Catholic school. I learned science in science class, and religion in religion class. Catholics, by and large, are very practical people, not the superstitious statue-worshippers that many paint them as. I see the anti-evolution leaders as disingenuous because that is usually the case when people promote failed theories for the better part of a century, coming up with new names for it every decade, and using the courts to get around peer-review. It's all about confusing regular people.
Actually, they don't care one way or the other. Comcast charges $1000 for the first month, $750 for every month after that. The customer is always right...
The Democratic party as a whole decided that they'd grant the immunity, as well as some expanded wiretap powers, in return for $95 billion in domestic spending.
This is not about what's right, or what's constitutional. They are trading rule of law for the chance to manipulate Bush's budget a little. Obama has already spoken out in shameful support of this "compromise".
Just fooling around...I used to do that as well but I got sick of trying to figure out the edge cases. Plus I got a lot more hands-off with my home computers once I started doing IT work. The cobbler's PC has no shoes, or something.
I'm a big fan of both Spotlight and Vista's program search. Don't think of it as laziness, just saving your time to spend on more important things:D
Once the oversight is gone, it doesn't matter what their reasoning was. They can do what they want. Indeed, they already are doing it, and they already got away with it...I feel like this is the part where we decide whether we as a people even deserve this country anymore.
Last Saturday, two inmates tried to escape from a Texas jail by climbing through AC ductwork. One fell through the ceiling into an office. The press loves these man bites-dog-stories. But, in all their zeal to regurgitate the AP, none of the news outlets saw fit to comment on why a couple of stooge-like Mexican car thieves were charged with "making a terrorist threat".
Of course, it's obvious why: the more of these "threats" they can report, the more shiny new toys that district gets next year.
For this mess, this whole damn *mindset*, where we acknowledge the existence of an imaginary threat...it falls with us. For being so easily lied to. The failure of this filibuster to get the necessary support will be like putting our complete impotence as a nation into writing.

Mistaken Acronym Creator, I think :D
Yeah, but screw 'em. There's lots of sites out there that aren't Youtube and could make use of that.
No, he meant BMI.

Windows users should be careful with a large hosts file, since it will slow down name resolution unless you disable the DNS client service.

You're wrong because you offer no evidence as to why there is a link between animal mating rituals and soft-drink advertisements.

IE comes installed with Windows. Hence, "inertia".
It's a rather large assumption that someone with a lot of money worked harder for it than someone with less.
Are you talking about customs are the airlines?

No need to post AC, Mr. Van Winkle. But yes it is in fact 2008 and not 1858.
