I like jQuery more because... um... well, actually, I just like it more. Feels easier to use. MooTools has a steeper learning curve, and I can do what I want to in jQuery without that learning curve.
Incidentally, although it is highly dependent on the browswer running the test, jQuery often feels faster. But run the tests yourself. And while speed is one thing, accuracy is another, and it all depends on what kind of work you do.
It gets really irritating, though, when I see a web site using both MooTools and jQuery on the same page, just because the designer/developer liked a particular plug-in for that page. I'm sure the client never notices.
Maybe you got it down to 19K, but when I tried to do something actually useful (like the aforementioned Calendar popup), the sum of all the various components was pushing 70-80K (yes, using the compressed versions). Maybe there was some trick I wasn't using to get it down that small -- I wish there was, because I did actually want to use it.
How big was the calendar pop-up you finally programmed yourself? And, could it do everything the pre-fab jQuery one could do?
It's hard to complain that free code on the Internet is too big for your purposes. It's free. If you don't like it, roll your own.
On the plus side: "Netflix will use the savings to expand its stock of the studio's DVDs and triple the number of Warner catalog titles it provides through its online streaming option."
In other words, you won't have to wait for the DVD so much -- you'll be able to watch it on your computer. Certainly, the newest releases won't be available that way, but still... anything that expands the (legal) streaming movies options is a good thing.
What if the biosphere of Pandora was deliberately manipulated at some point in the past? What if the planetary network is a designed thing, as is the ability of Pandorian life to interface with it?
This is exactly what I was thinking -- and I suspect it will play a role in the Avatar sequel. You think the humans are just going to run away and never come back?
That's why it was so amusing to see Apple copying the LG's Prada phone design for the Iphone.
FWIW, the Prada was announced December 2006, one month before the iPhone. They had both clearly been in development for awhile -- Wikipedia says the iPhone was in development for at least 2.5 years, though no word on the Prada's development time. Hard to imagine that your assertion is true.
I'd like to see a book like this which has side-by-side real-world examples of each aspect of web design, one example of success and one of failure. And I mean long-term success, not just "we met this month's budget". Maybe a whole book on just how to define "success" for a web site.
Suppose someone uses such a template and it turns out to be incorrect, even by some minor technicality, and as a result that person has additional legal expenses or other damages.
This is very likely. Such an "open source" document might have been 100% correct when it was originally written, but it wasn't updated for the latest changes in tax code (or whatever) and is therefore out of date.
Perhaps we could have a "WikiForms.biz" -- people could make forms, then keep them up to date.
Or, alternatively, if you are posting right-wing conspiracies about the government trying to take your guns, euthanize your grandmother, and kill your babies.
Two clichés that apply to web sites...

1. Measure twice, cut once.
2. Plan for the marriage, not for the wedding.
And one which never applies: if you build it, they will come.
If you take into account the time aspect, Apple products have become quite affordable. My MacBook Pro certainly did cost more than a generic notebook and most brand products, but it has lasted me longer than most other machines I had. Since a computer is pretty much a constant in my life, "purchase price" really isn't the valid value. "Average cost per year" or something would be, and on that, I dare say the MBP was cheaper than most alternatives.
To add to this: my spouse's Mac laptop lasted eight years, with the only repair being the little rubber feet. I did boost the RAM and hard drive, but since all she needed was e-mail, Microsoft Office, and casual web browsing, it was more than sufficient. We finally called it dead when the backlighting began fading so badly that it was difficult to read.
Question... I've seen some old-growth trees in New York's Adirondack Mountains (and elsewhere) that are 200+ years old... their diameter is more than the reach of my arms. Meanwhile, all the trees in more recently-logged areas, which are maybe 50 or 80 years old, or less, are much, much smaller. Do the bigger, older trees do more for the environment? Or do the smaller trees make up for it in volume?
For what it's worth... there are plenty of file transfer apps for the iPhone, like DropCopy (and a fewothers). Might not fit your need, but it's pretty painless to add/exchange files without iTunes.

The U.S. Northeast does not thaw out in February.
Try April or May.

That's what I meant, though I left it as an exercise to the reader -- and look, there you are.
Someone earlier up posted a link to blue sky pictures on Google Images. That's funny too.
...theologians have recently determined that God has a "MicrosoftMode". Watch out for the Blue Screen of Death.
And -- "How do our hands feel around your neck?"

Hey, at least Cameron didn't make a Titanic sequel.
"Titanic II: Revenge of the Sunken," perhaps.

Better sedate them and flood them with muscle relaxants... which, of course, could work as a dead (relaxed) man's switch for a trigger as well.
And, of course, a terrorist might have an explosive implanted in their body with a timer or a remote.
Also, FTA: "Mushtaq and two FireEye colleagues..." -- not just one guy.
Or, how about cloning them while they're still alive?
The original story was declared extinct. This story is the clone and, hopefully, will die a quick death.
I was thinking "Dances With Wolves."
Or "Little Big Man."
Or even "District 9."
There's a lot of this kind of plot. By some accounts, this is all about white people's inability to honestly discuss race.
Although -- there's similarities to "Dune" as well, which isn't racial.
So many clichés, so little paper.

Are you suggesting a new name for Bing -- perhaps "Bung"?

C'mon, people shoot the messengers every day of the year. Why should today be any different?
Right -- but the GP was talking about needing a laptop and iTunes to transfer files to an iPhone.
I agree, it would be great if the iPhone had a card slot.
For what it's worth... there are plenty of file transfer apps for the iPhone, like DropCopy (and a few others). Might not fit your need, but it's pretty painless to add/exchange files without iTunes.
