Woah there cowboy! In 1996, you're talking about IE 3.0, which sucked honking donkey balls. Netscape 3.2 was clearly superior to that steaming pile. Microsoft didn't outshine Netscape (in my opinion) until 1998, with IE 5.0 vs NS 4.whatever.
Firefox is getting all the good extensions these days. Plus, I kind of prefer the UI. Plus, it's not as bloated. Plus, reload is on F5, where it belongs.
My experience as a web developer since 1997 and Mozilla/Firefox user since 1999 suggests that the/. rendering problem is caused by the browser rendering an incomplete page. Whether this is caused by the server terminating the connection early, or the browser stopping rendering before the transmission is incomplete, I do not know.
However, the problem did begin until sometime in 2003. So I would be more inclined to blame the/. server, than the Gecko rendering engine.
Ah yes, the Ravenous Bug-Blatter Beast of Traal. A mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous.
I back up all my CDs to high-bitrate Ogg Vorbis format, and burn new discs as necessary. My policy is that no original CD leaves the house. That way I don't have to worry about leaving it somewhere, or someone "borrowing" it.
Backing up DVDs is another story. I have done it a few times, but encoding simply takes too much time for this to be practical in backing up my collection. However, I'm much less likely to take DVDs out of the house to begin with, so it's less of an issue.
If a male and a female score equally well and are both considered acceptable, then the female will be offered the position.
Um, that's the very definition of discrimination. Why should the woman/man/white/black/yellow/green/blue person automatically be preferred? Ultimately, the choice should lie with the hiring manager, not policy.
Well, that would be a show-stopper for me then. Either the manufacturer provides the features I require, or I find another product. The tail does not wag the dog.
This does sound like a neat toy, though it's portability would certainly be limited. The ability to load up video files and play them on any TV certainly is an attractive prospect -- but I would only be interested if it can play back non-DRM encumbered Divx/Xvid files.
Back to the portability issue, this thing looks huge, and would only fit in the largest of pockets. I recently picked up a Rio Karma, and really can't imagine walking around freely with anything much larger than that. Also, I wonder how long this thing can run on battery power. With that huge color screen, I would think not long. (though maybe the screen can be turned off)
Of course, this is why computer software is LICENSED and you don't actually own it.
Assuming that EULA's are legal and binding, of course, which hasn't been conclusively proven. And if the seller never agreed to the EULA, then the doctrine of first sale clearly applies.
Of course, software with a proper license which meets all requirements of contract law (agreement, consideration, capacity, legality) would be binding -- but click-through EULAs are not in this category.
No, they give their kids the appearance of choice of beliefs.
Did no-one see "Amish in the city", when the Amish kid was so afraid of dying away from the community, because then he would "be denied heaven"? It would take an exceptionally free-thinking Amish to break away after experiencing an insular childhood full of mythology.
Electronics Boutique will refund for store credit. I have used it twice: Once in 1999, and again in 2003. If your current game store refuses to refund/exchange items, there's really no reason not to switch to a more customer-oriented store.
When I play games, it's to get away from reality for a while. The reason GTA is fun for me is because it's not realistic. If all the in-game billboards, cars, and stores were based in reality I would find that very disturbing.
Not to mention the addition game-wrecking influence advertisers would surely ask for, ala non-flipping, non-damaging vehicles in Gran Tourismo.
In England they take truth in advertising very seriously. Not like here in the US, where in commercials it's OK to show a truck tumble off a cliff, yet it doesn't so much as have a scratch on it afterwards.:/

Imagine that, a Microsoft site that fails to work properly with a non-MS browser!
the people that switched over to IE back in 1996

What's wrong with the name? 'Exchange' is a generic term and not trademark-able.(at least, not in my country) 'MS-Exchange', however, is.
Anyone else notice the glaring typo's in the system requirements
Dont you think your being a little critical? Common, cut them a brake here!
That sounds familiar..

In the business world, glass ceilings still exist for women.
I guess that's why my last three managers have been female, not that I'm complaining.

For some reason, I read that as:
MIT Names First Shemale President
Unit 652178, please schedule an appointment for calibration of your hilarity unit.

Did you just call _Donnie Darko_ a good movie?

Because we know Windows has never had issues with low quality binary drivers crashing the entire OS..
Is that higher or lower than alert level "Moving Pictures"?
