Ahh yes, you are correct! My bad.. I heard Maynard's voice singing it and TOOL popped up first.
I love the fact that I put "OT" in the subject and we all still got modded down. People are suck fuckheads. Just for that, I will leave my Karma bonus on this post. =P
The Irony of America is that they think that they way they do everything is the "right" way. Kinda like you bitching that some "idiots" measure stuff in Metric.
The comma as seperator is far more prevalent than "just" in Northern Europe. I think it'd be safe to say a large portion the population of the world uses it.
Because Apple and IDEO (and a couple others like FrogDesign) hire from the same very, very small talent pool.
Look at the job histories of Industrial Designers who work at the top of the top firms, they sort of move around the same firms. In short, the top few firms "get it"
Yeah, but I don't claim to be a usability expert and haven't told anyone else how to code their sites, just that I have a hard time reading a "usability" experts site without having to jump trough hoops.... the same hoops that many have suggested for my site. =)
I also have no problems reading my site at 1600x1200, and my site is coded for one person.... me.
The day your sites are legible at 1600x1200 I may pay attention to your "usablilty" articles. However, I faind the exceedingly long lines of text your sites produce hard to read, and so I choose to pay attention to those who practice a real, applicable sense of usablilty.
I'm sure you have many good things to say, I just wish it didn't hurt my eyes to read it.
That's why 99.999999999999% of Diesel engines have a warmer you plug into a 120v outlet when it get's really cold out to keep the block warm without having to idle it.
Look for the three prog plug behind the front grill of almost every diesel car.
Why? IE dones't draw them right w/o user intervention. Since 99.99999999 of people won't do anything that involves effort, and 95% of surfers use IW on Windows, nobody will ever use them for "mainstream" sites. Ever. Sorry.
However, for "niche" sites where you know your audience can see them, they totaly kick ass. Sad the rest of the world will never see them =(
But only if you use "Algorithm 8.0! So easy, anyone can encode!!"
Oh, and with the recent settlement with M$, all your encryption has to be Micrshaft approved. And Time-Warnder approved, so it will search for watermarked video/audio/image content the studio owns.
And they don't wan't to piss off the RIAA or MPAA and lose those keyword contracts, so you cna;t encrypt anyting that has binary content.
Oh, and thanks to the PATRIOT act, any key you generate is backdoored and given to the NSA.
I think the language in the bill was to prohibit DRM that would tie a DVD to a specific player, thus making sure that in the future, used DVDs and CDs could still be bought / sold. It was never stated that you couldn't do it now... it's a "preventive strike" on DRM that could kill used media sales.
I agree, but for different reasons. Consumers will decide if they want to buy all the DRM-burdened crap, that's how our precious free market works.
If only the US was a Free Market. In 10 years every CD player, DVD player, TV and computer will have DRM up the wing wang. And you (yes YOU) will buy it. Why? Because there won;t be anything else out there. The RIAA and MPAA will make discs that only work on system "xyz" compliant players, after they "work together in the spirit of open markets" (i.e. oilogopoly collusion) to come up with a stanadrd DRM scheme. Manufacturers will make them, because they want to sell stuff, and if all the content needs DRM, then so be it.
Given the choice of no new movies & music, or staying DRM free, most folks will gladly hand over thier fair use rights because they just don't know any better.
A few giant companies will force DRM on us, and sadly, there's not a damn thing we can do about it. Esp. now that they can snap up all the media outlets and spam "news" storeis about how DRM is wonderful =P
Unfortunately, it doesn't provide the ability to select a particular song, but it does provide the ability to choose genre.
Yup, your choices are:
ClearChannel Alterna-Rock songs 1 - 15 ClearChannel Alterna-Rock songs 5 - 20 Infinity Radio Alterna-Rock songs 3-8, 14-20 ClearChannel Pop songs 1-6 Infinity Radio Pop songs 1-6 ClearChannel Country songs 1 - 10 Infinity Country songs 1 - 10
The lack of being able to hear anythgin remotely different / interesting n the radio, along with $17.00 CDs of bands taht all sound the same that are overplayed to death is what is killing the RIAA. Oh wait, I forgot, it's piracy.
Nobody is ever "forced" to join a union. The Homland Security dept said "no unions ever" which I think is a pretty shitty thing to do. People have the RIGHT to unionize.
Allowing Americans the right to organize for a better standard of living is putting National Security low how? You have just proven my point very nicely, thank you.... Agree blindly with GW's cronies or you must be against security!!
Unfortunatley now there isn't much separation or balance... as if you don't blindly vote for GW's cabinet's policies, you are branded "unpatriotic" and "soft on terror", which as every good Dem knows, is a bad thing to be labled when you want to get re-elected.
THe "War on terror" has removed a great deal of the checks and balances... coupled with a very conservative Supreme Court and you've got the most lop-sided non-checked goverment in the US in some time... if not ever.
Your query works fine in MySQL as well, the one in the original post doesn't.
Ah, the joys of actually UNDERSTANDING what you are bashing.
I use MySQL (for personal projects) and SQL Server 2000 (at work) daily. Obviously you don't.

those prices were origionally put in place to FORCE people to make change.
If you never have to open the drawer, it's real easy to stuff the money in your pocket as the cutomer walks away. If you have to give a nickle back, you have the drawer open, and since you have someone staring at you, the chance you will be tempted to pocket it is much slimmer.

Who is Dixie? I know that quote from a TOOL song... did they nab it from someone, or....?

I made no offers of opinions about web-site design. I noted that Nielsen's sites, displayed on large windows, with default font sizes are illegible.

As far as validating, if your validator can't figure out from this:

What to validate against, then I Guess you'll jsut never lsiten to my opinions. Which makes me really, really sad. Really.

Show me one instance where a worker was forced to unionized. Lat time I checked, employers hired and fired people, not unions.
Nobody is ever "forced" to join a union. The Homland Security dept said "no unions ever" which I think is a pretty shitty thing to do. People have the RIGHT to unionize.
