  1. Re:Couldn't be more true on ALA President Not Fond of Bloggers · · Score: 1

    Go to http://www.foxnews.com/ and, outside of the opinion section, find me a story that is viciously partisan, or inaccurate.

    Watch FNC during the day during "hard news" coverage (i.e., FOX & Friends, FOX News Live, Special Report, the FOX Report), NOT op-ed (i.e., Hannity and Colmes, O'Reilly Factor) and find any inaccurate or overly one-sided reporting.


    You should read Newshounds for MANY examples of how Fox News slants its reporting in favor of the Bush administration. I have been watching Fox News for more than 5 years, almost exclusively, and there is definitely a tendency to make "liberals" (or rather, anyone who disagrees with the Bush administration), look like an anti-American fool. Although I consider myself more right-leaning than left, I have grown more and more frustrated with the way they demonize people that have beliefs that differ from the current administration.

    It doesn't do "live" validation as you browse, but that sounds like it would be a great feature to add to the extension.

    I would like to see a build in page validator.

    You can download an HTML validator for Firefox that builds it right into View Source. It will validate it within the browser and also provide accessibility warnings. It's based on Tidy.

    I tried to find more information on this game, but didn't have much luck. I guess it doesn't really exist.

    the solution is to use a cheap $30 lexmark printer for your illegal acts, then throw it out

    You might want to go offline before Lexmark phones home.

  7. Re:CSS is crap for layout on Core CSS (2nd ed.) · · Score: 1

    There are table elements on the page, but to be fair they are not being used to layout the whole page. One is used for an ad box and the other is for the myESPN section. Why tables are being used here, I don't know, because the tables aren't even functioning as a layout really. You could take them out altogether and the page would look virtually the same.

    ESPN.com is a big commercial site that comes to mind. They do not use any tables for layout.

  9. Re:Just Wondering... on RIAA Warns Individual Swappers · · Score: 1
    According to the article:
    • An RIAA representative said on Thursday that the fifth recipient is a subscriber of Internet service provider EarthLink, which agreed to turn over the individual's name after an appeals court panel ordered Verizon to unveil the identities of its piracy-suspected subscribers earlier this month.

    Apparently Earthlink didn't want to wait for their own ruling. Expect other ISPs to follow.

    Maybe the Council of Europe would be obligated to post criticism of their decisions on their own website?

  13. Same quality, different media on MPAA Finds First Actual DVD Copiers in U.S. · · Score: 1

    My friend in NYC bought a bootleg of Vanilla Sky on DVD. The quality was as good as screener or Telesync copies, but the bootleggers went all out with the rest. Since it is a DVD, they added a ridiculously long hi-res intro, menu with scene selection, plus some "extras." I was surprised to see so much work go into a bootleg. All in all, it was of typical quality, just fancier packaging.

    And the movie sucked.

  14. Re:Non-troll question on Game Park Handheld Encourages Open Development · · Score: 1
    The problem is the GP32 has no touch sensitive screen. So you would have a hard time entering any info on the device or navigator the application software.

    It has a USB port, which means you can use a USB keyboard and joystick.

  15. Re:Freedom or Death: Take Your Pick on Stallman: Thousands Dead, Millions Deprived of Liberties · · Score: 1

    "Why is it so bad to make sure were not letting homocidal maniacs on airplanes? "

    If this person would be a danger to others in a situation such as this, why are they free to purchase plane tickets and wander freely around an airport? This hypothetical person should be in hospital or undersupervision. In other words, if someone is known to be dangerous, and so dangerous that they shouldn't be allowed to travel in an airplane, then why hasn't someone done something sooner?

    What about known homocidal maniacs that are being successfully medicated? Are they denied their right to travel by airplane (or even train, bus, taxi)? And why, in the first place, would any records be available publicly that lists the name and photo of people with mental diseases? I thought Americans had a right to private health records.

  16. Adobe at FlashForward 2000 ... on Adobe Sues Over Tabbed Widgets · · Score: 1

    Interesting how Adobe was one of the senior sponsors at FlashForward 2000 in NYC this past July (conference for developers using Macromedia Flash). One of the new features of Flash 5 (coming out in September) is having tabbed, draggable widgets, in which Macromedia spoke on how they are trying to make it more familiar to those that use other industry standard software (such as Adobe products). Adobe was also there promoting how their software can be used to help developers of Flash. Strange how Adobe would be there in such a major way when they intended on accusing Macromedia of violating their patent ... - jiggity
