If you entered USA before 9-1-1, fingerprinting weren't taken. If you then haven't left USA since then, they simply don't have your biometrics. If you left and re-entered USA they'd fingerprint you at a point of entry.
Yes, it is sad, but not a surprise that they, what appeared to be, selectively picked what to support and what not. They declared this summer that certain crucial things still will not be supported in a final release. I wrote more about this in another discussion.
Yeah, and honestly, you're not the first one to tell me that. But for some reason, maybe because I had bad experiences with flip phones in the past, I just am afraid of phones with moving parts. And yes that is exactly my paranoia of device being fragile.
Exactly, I've been awaiting device which has touch screen and no moving parts; nothing flipping or sliding, and no qwerty. Yes yes benchmark being iphone or new blackberry if you will. Or even HTC Diamond. Then I'd be all over it. I just don't like phones with moving parts.
One microsoft official, from IE engineering team, has claimed (in an unofficial interview that can be found on the web) that IE8 is the more standards-compliant than Firefox or Webkit engine for instance. That is why it breaks sites that aren't usually anticipated to be broken and that is why they have that readiness page or developers.
So let's assume that is true (and probably is). I would have a tremendous respect to IE8 effort if only they've chosen to adopt crucial CSS features:
I didn't notice slowness, but also I haven't really tried. I just used it to test how a number of websites look as well as to make them look okay on ie8:).
One of the things I liked on IE8 is how tabs are grouped by colour. I heard IE8 has some sort of inspector (aka firebug) but it's not obvious how to use it at first. I haven't had time but intend to discover how to use it on IE8.
IE8 would be ultimate winner _if_ they opted to support CSS3 at least to the level that firefox and webkit does. Sadly they opted to do something selfish which in the end will help them loose market share even further. Time will tell of course, but I am convinced that is the case.
But apart from those negative things, IE8 is actually quite good, I was impressed when I tried it. Big step forward.
I realise that. Just picture a movie about, say China, and martial arts. Wouldn't you expect people to be asian?

Either way, watch Terminal instead, much better movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362227/).
Surprises me to this day how little Borat has to do with actual country of Kazakhstan and how much with country of Romania. Start with his looks. They should have started at making him asian to resemble a native Kazakh.
I always hated iTunes. When was on PC it was unbelievably slow. When I made a switch to Macbook Pro, I finally hoped iTunes would work normally. It was faster than on my PC (Windows XP), but it still is slow as hell, particularly after latest upgrade with new introductions (genius recommendation thing).
The only reason I deal with damn iTunes is to sync iPhone's calendar, playlist and other stuff like that.
Sometimes it's actually useful for one to try to reinvent the wheel, if you will; then for that person to realise that that wheel has been invented already and start using old wheel with the some knowledge gained from aforementioned attempts.
That is the kind of path I went down.:) Depending on a person, that could actually work quite well.
I recall doing something similar but more sophisticated, something like Xmas card:) I also recall showing it to my parents and they didn't really understand what I was trying to tell them.
I think subconsciously I am afraid that everything that slides or otherwise opens etc is not durable. That's why iphone is comforting. It's just a box with no moving parts. I am definitely looking at other HTC devices.
G1 dataplan is indeed attractive you got a good point there.

Apple has an aggressive looking `TouchCase` case for iphone, I really love it. I'd need something like this if I had G1 :)

Bedtime for y'all!

- ???-border-radius (WHY!?)
- opacity
- RGBA
- :last-child (WHY!?)
and more .
Thanks for the tip! Just tried, works quite well. That should make my workflow much more pleasant soon.

That is fantastique! :) luv Ricky.
But how would you avoid that? Set up some sort of world regulation on distros? Tax it? :) It's just a natural thing.
What visa are you thinking about obtaining? If it is H1B, It may not be worth it anymore.
Yes, in fact we do. Check out the bottom of this very page. In the footer there's a link to corporate website.
I get it. I do not get, however, how many fail to see that M$ will actually help jQuery, and that is not a bad thing in my mind.
Why would this steer away folks?
:) great folklore!
