Reading his thoughts on borders (scroll down) reminds one of a flaw of Wikipedia's HTML/CSS design. "Strong frames... produce content-diminishing effects," says Tufte. I seldom see borders around tables or equations in textbooks, and it does look very clean. On the other hand, Wikipedia's CSS styles place borders and underlines superfluously about everything, from blocks of code, images and underneath headings. It seems the Wikipedia web designers try too much to make "pretty pages" when, to an academic eye they look ugly and cluttered.
Every page element should signify some meaning; a heading should be underlined to distinguish it, but only if it is not otherwise distinguished by font size, vertical whitespace or some other typesetting. One element variation should suffice, as long as it's a bold change. A table should have borders only if the data are unclear otherwise. It's sad that as useful as Wikipedia can be, it still suffers from so many flaws. Wikipedians could learn much from Tufte, or from any study of technical communication.
iTunes lets one painlessly burn, share, listen to and buy music. Many iTunes users actually use all of its features. Wake me up when a Linux app handles all of those abilities without being a bloated, buggy piece of shit.
It'd be more robust to trigger a bomb using the air pressure drop in the cargo hold. The cabin and cargo hold of course are pressurized at significantly less than 1 atm. Fill up pen ink cartridges with hypergolic chemicals, let them burst at altitude and you've got your fuse. No suspicious electronics necessary.
It's sad that the editors use Backslash to reaffirm highly moderated comments. Nearly all of the featured comments were modded +4 or +5. With the chance to highlight minority or unpopular opinions that oppose the fold, the editors have merely chosen to perpetuate current moderator trends.
'Careful, Gates calls people with ideas like yours "Terrorists."'
That's as absurdly over the top as calling linux a "cancer." Has Microsoft ever labeled anyone a terrorist? Realize that the Gates's foundation (started in 2000) has helped the world more than any linux user. You sound ridiculous.
The keynote content was lackluster, which isn't Jobs's fault. The article author is trying to incite controversy by extending OS X Tiger's lameness to a dulling of Jobs. Calling the legendary Jobs "boring" is much more pressworthy, especially among the devout Apple crowd. In short, it's Wired flamebait.
Is there any reason to run Darwin on a PC instead of FreeBSD or other *nix system? Everyone knows OS X has a fantastic GUI, but is there anything exceptional about its kernel?
According the Bloomberg, it was backdating. And when the Reuters article mentioned a "stock options scandal," there is little question as to what it refers. Taking a step back and viewing the original article as an investor, it seems certain that options backdating was implied. That's the only "scandal" going on right now.
Backdating options is illegal, but it could have been an honest mistake. A delayed executive approval can effectively backdate an options grant, but whether that happened at Apple is unknown at this point.
Slashdot Mirror
It's a piece of shit.
OpenOffice.org advocates, this is proof we need.

And that is how the data should be used
On Slashdot, everything is the next BetaMax.

ACCUSATIVE YOU SON OF A BITCH
I like the formatting of this story, especially the use of the anchor tag. Very refreshing.
And it was beautiful.
The submitter mentioned a "Vista-esque KDE theme." That's all he meant. Sabayon's KDE looks a lot like Vista, nothing more.

Finally, an honest karma whore.

This sounds quite foolish.
