When you loaded your programs of casette tapes? A lot of beeps and bleeps. Then some radio stations would broadcast a "program", you could record it and then later load it in your computer. How nifty;)
there are far bigger problems we need to resolve on earth,
Things do not get resolved because people don't want to resolve them, they don't care - not because some money is being spent on something else.
lets worry about this planet first before we start wasting tax money again.
We do that by spending money on all kinds of research, since history tells us that all the great strides happen by accident when people are randomly researching something.
Yeah, but the nice thing about CSS from an accessability standpoint is the ability to turn off the CSS completely.
In theory, a lot of pages use inline css on all pages. (and if you actually switch them off, a lot of pages look totally Chaotic ) can't just shut off the custom page formatting with TABLE's and other
You don't need to switch of tables.
1) Scale the font size up and down a couple of notches w/ ctrl++ in Firefox.
Yes, it would be nice if one could do that in MSIE. But not only isn't there a shortcut, but as i said it refuses to scale fonts which has been set at specific size by CSS
Maybe your complaint would better be voiced as, "Use CSS+XHTML properly or not at all!"
Well, 1. Space is limited. and 2. Nobody thinks they are using them improperly.
To me CSS is mostly about inflexiblity, almost everybody seem to use CSS to specify an absolute fontsize for fonts, and MSIE feels that if the font size is absolute then it shouldn't allow people to change the size. ie, one is stuck with utral small fonts that can be hard for a lot of us to read.
Can you set most pages to view at 72pt fonts on an 800x600 screen resolution and expect it to look OK? No, of course not. 2pt on 1600x1200? No, that'll probably break, too.
I don't agree, if one stuck to the design ideas it should be scaleable to any size, perhaps graphics would look bad - but fonts are vector and should be scalable. Of course if its bigger you can see less of it on the screen at one time, but that's better than not being able to see it.
It's interesting that some countries at least, like the UK, have laws which prevent the discrimination against the handicapped, and that their royal institute for the blind(and seeing impaired) have threatend lawsuit against several commercial websites. The sites in question has always change their sites so it has yet to actually come to court. But good work by the institute as far as I'm concerned.
I was going to say "poorly-designed", but then remembered that most of the sites that I make probably won't display perfectly under arbitrary font sizes
Almost nobody designs the web as it was intended.
ANY font size AT ALL? No. Didn't want to insult myself:)
Naa, better to insult the reader.
Oh, and DIV's do something completely different from TABLE's.
What a pity people don't know what when they use them instead of TD's.
use TABLE's for page layout, which they were never meant for
Only for data layout - but then HTML was about datalayout, not WYSIWYG.
Try going into Internet Options/Accessibility and tick 'ignore font sizes' - then browse around a lot for a week, chances are you'll see how evertyhing totally colapses on a lot of sites, and much of that is because of div's - had it been a normal table it would have been something else.
Sentences were light, but a felony on your record isn't pretty.
Do they stay on your record for ever? Over here your public record gets erased after 5 years (you've done your time, you are not supposed to be punished for the rest of your life)
The Danish hostmaster recognize the individuals right to privacy, and if you wish to be "unlisted" you can be. Of course they know who you are, and break the law they'll hand over your information to the police.
Oh for heaven's sakes. It was a rough cut with unfinished editing, audio work, and SFX. They're not going to leak that deliberately, as it would (and did) reflect negatively on the show.
Actually what people say is that the story was crap.
they're a news organization. they get money from selling the stories(and associated photos), not from giving them away for free so that another organization can get the ad revenue as well without paying them anything.
And everybody is sure to buy from them when they know it will get them banned from Google.
I do believe these fundies will be a shrinking minority soon, a decade or two at the most, and these frenetic attempts at getting the ten commandments into courtrooms and censoring books and movies and everything else -- they are just the tremors of a dying segment of society.
Don't bet on it.
As animals we were genetically coded to avoid mutations and deviants, since it would weaken the tribe/race - that is still in us, and when people feel insecure in their world the fall back on this behaviour - unfortunately its only going to get worse.
To call the Bible a collection of fables and stories created only for the purpose of morality is a gross distortion of the Bible's very complex literary history.
Yeah, far easier to call it a book for crackpots who refuse to grow up.

however, you'll probably find the odd clever comment on life (the problem being its clever, and a lot of the dorks will miss it)
Comming later this year!
Yeah, because most programmers are sloppy and make bad software which breaks whent he OS gets upgraded.
Who cares about the programs, the point is they force their crap on people even if they don't want it -that's the beef.

CSS+XHTML is all about flexibility.

Sounds like imperfectly-designed CSS layouts,
:)
It may sound like it.

Hehe - thanks for writing that up :)
Don't forget Bob Newhart's excellent spoofing of that Dallas trick with the ending of his second Newhart series.
Which was what? (For those of us who haven't seen it)
Oh for heaven's sakes. It was a rough cut with unfinished editing, audio work, and SFX. They're not going to leak that deliberately, as it would (and did) reflect negatively on the show.

and Rose is a good episode

Because people who are not fundamentalists usually have a sense of humour.

... I wonder when they will start to declard wars against other countries because of religious reasons...
... it doesn't store its config files in "my documents"
I couldn't tell you the last time I saw bush in a hollywood movie. And it's damned unfair!
Well, you have one in the white house - and that's damn unfair as well!
Don't really agree.
We'd be a slave to their servers forever, not to mention it will be much more expensive for the enduser since they have to pay over and over.
So what did I do?
