Well, it depends what you want to REALLY do. Moz can prohibit the accepting of cookies from specific sites, so you can take care of tracking sniffers. There is also the Moz plugin BannerBlind (mozdev.org) that can hide most banners.
And there's always pop-under Javascript prevention too!
Not quite a full solution to what you have in mind but part of the "spirit" of the problem you wish to solve.
"Warcraft III runs on Windows 95/98/2000/NT and Mac OS."
Nowadays, saying "Runs on Mac OS" is like saying "Looks fine in Netscape". Uh, Netscape 4 or Netscape 6 or Netscape 6.2 or do you really mean Mozilla...?
Bottom Line: Will there be Mac OS X support out of the gate?
For anyone that watches Tenchi Muyo, this seems straight out of the lab of Washu The Great. She frequently summoned up a full virtual terminal in mid air with no visable projector.
Oh Good Lord! You have no idea! It would be too easy to fill a Toonami channel. There are more themes in Anime beyond just big robots, "big" girls in big robots, reluctant boy with 6 girlfriends, etc.
The editing requirements could be Promethian, however.
All "green title bars" should have the Aqua-ish gradient background to them.
Honestly, I think the kudos for this new theme show that's time for Slashdot to receive a minor face-lift. Nothing radical. Just a bit of spit'n'polish.
Sigh. Time to start that PayPal "Send CmdrTaco to Remedial English/Spelling school" fund again.
Dude? When are you going to realize that you smack your credibility regularly when you do these kinds of things? And as a major figure of Slashdot, you do that to the credibility of the whole community?
We all are human and make mistakes but a CmdrTaco posted article that doesn't have some sort of obvious English/spelling errors would be out of character.
I doubt that. I have been looking forward to the end of X-Files because I *really* want to see Anderson doing *anything* else. Even if it's just voice acting ("Princess Mononoke")!
I think the point that Lewis is trying to make is that, in regards to your method, the "smaller" tasks are still pretty large for very large software development efforts. These have to be broken down to smaller tasks yet, and maybe even further to get down to the "Oh, we know how long it takes to implement that" level.
By that point, your functional spec IS the program in pseudo-code (English). The point being that for very large projects (software systems for NASA), you have to complete a function specification that is so complete, you've almost completed the project.
Final Premise: "Code" is a very precise functional specification of a program.
So, what we REALLY need is a process for estimating the time/cost of what it will take complete the estimate!
I think that the Japanese market is different for AV equipment. Simply put: Small is "in". Japanese apartments are tiny and few people in the larger cities own a home. A device that doubles up on it's functions for the same space is a big plus. That's why the "Q" exists and why the Japanese market is the target. And they will love it for that reason alone.
I just finished off Devil May Cry. Great graphics, cool action, and all attitude.
Well, it can get corny here and there - Dante's asides are bit over the top.
But if you like a game that you can pick up after work, do a few missions, put down, and come back to the next day and not have to ask yourself "Where was I again?!", DMC is the best this year.
Unlike Windows, however, Linux hasn't lost that "pieces/parts" mentality. It just has more on top of it. I think you are being a bit harsh.
As for the Linux community developing to attract Windows users, I think the truth is this: We all have used Windows at one time or another and there are some things we actually like about it. We just don't like the way it was done, the direction it's going and the direction it came from.
So we have an itch to scratch and - wha-la - Evolution 1.0.
...why go to COMDEX in the first place? I went 1997 and it was really was a waste of time. Most of the people at the tables didn't know anything more than what you could find on their website.
And sometimes the info on the web was more up-to-date (it takes time to print up all that stuff - the web has no such hang ups).
BLAH! What you say? Make your time. IE 5.1 on 10.1 isn't that bad. Though I use Mozilla (or, make that, Fizzilla) 0.9.5 as my main browser. I have no idea what you mean by crash prone - Moz has been fine on OSX since 0.9.2. And getting better all the time.
Rendering is fine but yes the XUL GUI needs more gas. But I still believe that it's the way to go on MacOS X.

Ever since the death of Cancerman, it's been a downhill slide.

You writing that and me understanding it makes us both look very old. =)
There are SO many other sites that have MacOS X "looks". Even MORE so than apple.slashdot.org does. Apple hasn't bugged them.

In regards to the coin-op that Steve Jobs did some re-design work for, Alex that would be "What is 'Breakout'?"
From what I have read, Atari did not completely use Steve's design because it was just too complicated.

PocketPC is too much. If I'd wanted a notebook computer, I'd get one.
Palm is stagnating. Even in their own "keep it simple" philosophy, they are not meeting their own standards.
Apple has become a very solutions-centric prodcut developer in the last 2 years and THAT is what it takes to make an excellent PDA!
I doubt that. I have been looking forward to the end of X-Files because I *really* want to see Anderson doing *anything* else. Even if it's just voice acting ("Princess Mononoke")!
The difference with the new Clie is that the extended range of the IR makes it practical. A standard Palm doesn't have the range.

Where do you work?! I don't ever want to end up there...
You OBVIOUSLY haven't been playing Devil May Cry! And just wait a few more days for Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty!!!
