More importantly: Could the news helicopter pluck them off?
I don't get the impression that news helicopters are very high-capacity. 2, maybe 3 seats; one of which is for the pilot. They don't need to carry lots of cargo, so it might not have a winch nor be capable of hauling a third body if it does have one. And I can't imagine a residential rooftop can serve as a decent helipad.
Ditto; except I turn off my home (Linux) computer late at nigh^W^W^Wearly every morning. Why should Gates turning his computer off be something special?
They require third-party apps to be run in order to use the hardware, frequently install "quick start" or other memory hog applications to be run always in the background....
While often included, I have never known that trash to be strictly necessary to use the hardware. I just use that New Hardware Detected Wizard to select the.inf and.sys files from the CD (and favor.zip over.exe drivers from online).
nVidia is a major thorn in my side over this issue.
It's a shame that the Acid tests draw developer effort away from more important bugs that us web developers really care about. Good lesson, though: if you want developers to care about a bug, don't bother filing a bug report. Just make a colorful animation with a 0-100 score to shame them. They'll ignore real bugs that other users filed years ago in their bug db, just to get the darned thing up to 100/100.
Are there any tests that cover a larger feature set? Pretty animations not necessary, of course...
Also, Mozilla doesn't seem to be in any hurry to get that last 6-7%.

What? You don't have a flash drive (with firefox.exe on it) with you at all times?
Safari is good!
You obviously haven't used it.
How about: "Do you want to prevent the execution of possibly malicious code in this .PDF file?" [Yes][No].
Yeah, that'll work.
The RIAA have this idea that filesharing is, by definition, sharing of files covered by their copyright. So they attack indiscriminately.
The government has this fascination with invasion of privacy.
ISPs, the RIAA, and the government cannot poison the well if they can't find it.

And yet we have autopilot, not autoland or autocrashintoabuilding.
If Michael Jackson can do it, so can you!
So obviously both Linux and Windows have a time cost.
Although there still is only one that has an up-front money cost.

No, Crime is breaking the law. Regardless of whether anybody reports it.
No, just some swamp gas.
There speaks a software engineer.
I wish.

[IE6] is the most up-to-date browser for their version of Windows.
Most up-to-date IE; but certainly not the most up-to-date browser.
Firefox 2 is slightly newer than IE 7, and it runs on Windows 98.
But don't you agree it's the best effort on their part to date? I would say so.
Yes, but "best effort" != "close"
"closer", maybe.
And here I thought my banner blindness was just a little overactive...
20/100 on the Acid3 is "close"?
Webkit and Presto got 41/100 and 46/100 respectivly when Acid3 was released (now they both pass with flying colors).
Unless all of IE's compliance improvements have been in areas not covered by Acid....
Sometimes people play music that you don't want to listen to, they aren't willing to turn it off or down, and assault would net you some jailtime.
The weapon abuse is small, since turning a massive satellite takes time.
So don't turn the satellite. Turn the emitter.
Maybe you should get a tinfoil hat....
I did. I'm sure I left it around here somewhere...
Funny, mine are all called Matrix.
