    That's exactly how you'll code your HTML. You just have to add one additional line to use the hack.

  2. Easy IE Alpha Transparency Solution on Slashback: Alternatives, Ads, Apple · · Score: 1

    BTW, alpha transparency is only available in the indexed (up to 8 bit) and 32 bit flavors of PNG.

    More than one wife??? Do you REALLY want that? Must not be married. :-)

    One is PLENTY for me. I don't think I could handle any more (can't handle the one I've got). They'd gang up on me and I'd never win an argument, err.... discussion. ;-)

    Depends on if you are married to her. Same for most Christian religions.

    Why do you believe the government "still considers them a cult". Can you give some links?

    I don't know about stock in Pepsi, I've heard the same about Coke but haven't done any research. (no desire)

    You are correct about caffeine but many Pepsi products don't contain caffeine. You can even find caffeine free Pepsi (and Coke) in many fountains. I don't think I've ever seen that in any state other than UT.

    African Americans have never been denied membership.

  6. Re:What is wrong with quality work? on Ogg Vorbis Changes (Just About) Everything · · Score: 1
    I would like to ask, what is wrong with doing quality work?

    I completely agree. In my day... I remember running impressive programs on my 16K Coco 2. You can hardly build "Hello World" in 16K anymore. I have a hard time with the excuse that quality programming doesn't matter anymore because machines are so big and fast now. Grrrrr... bloated software.

    20 streams at 56kbits or using a different format (Ogg) which will have a smaller bitstream at 56kbit

    If you're streaming at 56Kbps it doesn't matter what the codec is you'll be able to support the same number of streams. What you want is a lower bitrate with the same quality. (probably what you meant)

    You can get a burstable T3 starting at about $5,000/month. If you use the full bandwidth you will pay between $45,000 and $60,000/month.

    We only pay $550/month for our T1 with unlimited usage. I could have gone with a limited usage T1 for about $220/month!

    30 days??? WOW! 2 hours has me worn out! :-)

    All of you with BP6 motherboards make sure you flash the latest bios before even attempting to do anything with the ATA66 controller. You can get lots of good stuff including the latest BIOS at

    Q3A does support SMP. You have to set a variable from the console to enable it (search Deja for the variable).

    Not a 2x performance increase but it does make a difference.

  10. Re:Who needs a city? on On Keeping Geeks in a Metropolitan Area · · Score: 1

    I just moved from Seattle to a small town in UT about 120 miles from Las Vegas. WAY too many people in cities for me (anti-social programmer type). My T1 costs $550/month! No pollution. My house cost a fraction of what it would in Seattle. 2,500 sq. ft. on an acre. Just enough rain to keep everything alive.

    Who needs a city? I can get almost everything I need online cheaper than I could in a city.

    Can you tell I'm not going anywhere soon?
