Actually it's trivial to make a web page that always are as wide as the web browser.
Thus you should never have to scroll sideways!
Sadly those that prefer to hard code how wide a web browser must be to see the web page - so one HAS to scroll sideways if it are less - seam to be the same people who do not like navigation bar on the right side.

Another thing most web designer seam to dislike is to write correct HTML code.
I suggest you all go to the W3 validator and test you web pages so that they conform to a HTML standard. Surpricingly many webpages ar invalid:
Actually all EU contries has software patents because EU has software patents.
It may be so that you only think you do not have software patents, but since your country has to allow EU patents, you country recognize software patents.
And its nothing you can do about it - except to get your country to leave EU or change EU's rules for patents.
You can select which tables that support transactions and which don't. That way you get both worlds; fast tables without transactions where you need it and slower tables which contains transaction support.
If the OEMs start to include the JRE why not also include the OpenOffice office suit. It doesn't cost them anything and will amke it possible for them to sell a office suit to theirs custumers without.
If its good anouth most people would even have to get MS Office and could put a big dent in MS sales.
Robert Hainlein wrote a story about someone who invented a razor who always was sharp and an infinite power supply. The big corporations didn't like him.
Yes you are right the compiler design is very tricky. That is one reason technologies like Java Hotspt are very interesting.
Instead of letting the compiler try and predeict what kind of instructions to use for best performance HotSpot can actually use the real data used to run the program and, from that, produce the best instructions to compile the function. For a program that only run once this is not usefull but for a server that run the same code many times it can use the best instructions possisble to achive higher performance than a normal compiler.
While RISC was a way to have a dumber compiler, the very large instructions set are the reverse. It requires a very smart compiler. So do not expect any major breackthrough in performance when because the compiler will bot be able to produce the best code for the CPU.
It will be interesting to se how HotSpot can mange in that environment.
Ars Digita has left their own roots and are reinventing itself. No more open source and selling conculting hours, now they are going to sell software.
Consulting is a very profitable business, now they ae leaving it's roots and a transoforming the comapny to become 'the next Microsoft'. Not strange that the employees are leaving. A business whos most valueable assest are the people behinf it, can't expect to be able to change direction and management and still expect to retain all skilled workers.
It happens when people with no clue try and make profit with something they do not anything about. That lawyers get's involved is no strange either since that is the way many people do business.
I feel sad for Ars Digita who made such a blunder selecting which VC to do business with.
Sorry, but no can do! it is an NP problem to control if a strcpy/strcat is safe in compile time. It can only prevent some of the problems but not all.
For example if the size of the allocated character array is allocated in runtime depening on a configuration file, you can't expect the compiler to know if the allocated string is enough to hold the space or not.
The only thing the compiler can do can do is introduce an run-time overflow error to prevent that a buffer overrun occurs. The problem is that this will make the program slow.
The only solution would be to outlaw such contructs, but its a piece of cake to roll your own. A better solution would actually be to stop using C code and start using another language which prevent such disasters, for example Java
DynComponent and ReqCorba in the above example should be interfaces and not classes.
The MyObject can inherit from BaseDynComponent and implement ReqCorba and have a instance of type BaseReqCorba and forwards requests to it.
MyObject thus are both a DynComponenet and a ReqCorda object at the same time.
It requires a couple of line of code but works as good as multiple inheritance. Truly need for multiple inheritance is very small and can instead be solved by proper use of interfaces.
Isaac Asimov the SF writer who invented the three laws of robots has a close resembplace to the name of the robot.
Well, I saw it move in the telly news yesterday and from what I saw it looked damn fine. It really wlaked like a true human.
So when will NASa send one to Mars ?
Slashdot Mirror
Xenix was good because Microsoft did not actually write most iof it.
Was not most of it just based on BSD ?
But since many movies now are created using Linux I wonder why they do not put out trailers that can be viewed on Linuxes.
Amen to that, he should have published his paper and when they sued - he would have sued back.
EFF tried to angle the bait but was to fast so the fish got away.

No but I know how to play a CD!

Well Mucrosoft succeded to drive out IBM by giving away the SDK when IBM required money for it.
Now Linux are on the verge of driving out Mucrosoft using the same tactic.

Can an authority now order the displacement/zoning away adult material online because its proximity to my bussiness
Of cource it can do that and it already has done that a number of times the authoty iscalled ICANN.
You can go to them and complain about people using your name or a imilar name and get that domain revoked to you instwead.
The sad thing is that they get paid for how many mail messages that are sent and not to whom it is sent.
So spamming abuse is money in the bank.
I find it ironic that Windows had to add an X to its name just because Linux has one.
Where is my mod points where I really need the. Java was a vision of ASp long before ASP became know as ASP.
Card has had a downslope but the later ones - the Shadow books - are great and are much nearer the style of his first Ender book than the sequels.

That way anyone who wants to fix the hole has to pay you ... or switch to Linux.
Either way - you will be a winner!
I wonder how long it will take before people will have to pay a licence to live - because their genetic gene pool happens to contain a patented gene.
James Bond had a Licence to Kill - now people will need a licence to live...
