After a while, I decided that it was hopefully free seating.
Cultural tip for those from outside the US: here, it is extremely rare for movie showings to have assigned seating. In almost all cases, moviegoers are welcome to sit in any free seat in the theater once they have been admitted.
Other types of events -- sports, theater, classical music -- most often DO have assigned seats. Popular music concerts are split: often there will be reserved seating and unreserved standing room in different parts of the vanue at the same event.
I think the first thing any browser developer should consider when adding a new tag or tag attribute to the DOM is "How can this be abused?"
Personally, I think that should be second.
The first thing they should consider is "where in the W3C specs is the behavior of this element specified"? If it ain't in any of 'em, it don't belong in the browser engine.
For every IMG tag or XmlHttpRequest a browser dev team has decided to extend the W3C specs with, there's been a dozen BLINK and MARQUEE tags.
[The "b-b-but Clinton" defense] just means the ACLU is biased, which is pretty well known.
Try searching for "Aldrich Ames" on the ACLU's website. It's not as if the organization gave Clinton an enthusiastic thumbs-up at the time.
Besides, the Clinton Administration did the right thing constitutionally when rebuked for its behavior; Congress ended up passing new legislation which explicitly legalized the types of searching that Clinton had argued he had the right to do.
The Bush Administration's argument is that they are not subject to rebuke from the judicial branch, and don't need permission from the legislative branch to do what they want. That's completely contrary to everything our government stands for.
Really, it doesn't matter WHY people are outraged that our current government is breaking the law, whether it's politically motivated or anything else; the point remains that government is breaking the law, and that must come to an end immediately.
The ACLU picks and chooses its issues. That's just not something you can deny.
I don't deny it. But I condone it.
Second Amendment cases, for example: why should the ACLU devote time and resources to fighting them when there's another organization (NRA) dedicated and better equipped to fight that fight?
I have found that the adoption of Open Source software directly ties into the amount of money that a SMB is likely to make.
So the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka "The Lost Levels"), would probably have been less likely to adopt OSS than the game eventually released as SMB2 in the US/OZ/NZ (a reworking of the Japanese title "Doki Doki Panic").
Now, if OSS could only harness the popularity of SMB3, which at the time would have succeeded "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" as the highest-grossing movie of all time (if SMB3 had been a movie and a ticket to E.T. had cost $50), they would be in good shape indeed.
We know how to build a building that is several thousand meters in height. Aside from construction costs, transporting people to those upper floors has been the large difficulty.
That, and the fact that terrorists like trying to knock them over with trucks and airplanes.
Super-skyscrapers may be possible, but they're not really practical, and not just because getting to the top of one requires transferring to a different elevator car at least once.
For the majority of computer users over the last 15 years, computing has been a mostly negative experience
You really think so?
Personally, I LIKE having the world's largest information store and community center available at my fingertips, and I wouldn't go back to DOS 5.0, dial-up BBSes at 9600k, or long walks to the library to look up simple facts for any amount of money.
How many people know the new macs actually ARE pc's?
How do you define a PC? Is it the CPU architecture? Is it the manufacturer of the CPU? Is it the company that wrote the prevalent operating system? Is is the company that first called its product a 'PC', 25 years ago?
Why make things so hard when the answer is right in front of us?
PC = personal computer. All Macs ever produced have been PC's. For that matter, so were the Apple 8-bit computers.
But they all are assigned to educational, governmental, and military organizations in the United States, and yet they're global TLDs. That's a failure to enforce proper naming convention that long predates NetSol and others' decision to maximize profits by throwing the.com/.net/.org distinction out the window.
Why wasn't there more of a push Way Back When to compel US-based groups to register under the.us TLD, the way groups in other countries routinely use their 2-letter country code TLDs?
And thank God..... instead of trying to win a losing battle against privacy loss it would be better if we put our energies into making a completely transparent world. Information wants to be free, deal with it.
Hey, can I have your Social Security and bank account numbers?
What do you mean, "no"? INFORMATION WANTS TO BE FREEEEE!!!
Has the will to un-molestation finally passed out of mainstream?
Funny you should mention "molestation", because guess what behavior Big Brother is going to cite when they crack down on anonymous Internet proxying?
I value my privacy and will fight tooth and nail to preserve it. However, "privacy" and "anonymity" are not the same thing.
My home is private. My computer is private. Anything I do outside of my home, whether I travel via foot or via wire, is public and there's a possibility that I may be seen or even recognized.
But this Judge's opinion is quite representative of the concerns of many in Europe.
And? Here in the US our government is about to confirm a candidate to the Supreme Court who has been clear in his opinion that the courts of the United States should not look to courts in other parts of the world as barometers of jurisprudence.
All of Europe could decide software patents are invalid and that would have little bearing on the granting or enforcement of such patents within the United States.
To my knowledge there hasn't been, and going this long without a public exploit is a damn fine track record for a modern OS.
However, and this is the point of the story, that doesn't mean that there NEVER will be a virus for OS X. Mac users should still use secure practices like encrypting wireless traffic, running firewalls, never running as root, etc...
The whole point of using "Pentium" instead of "i586" was trademark and brand identity, and going back to numbers and letters loses that.
Exactly. Intel couldn't stop e.g. Cyrix from selling a chip named "80586", so what's stopping the competition today from releasing a chip called "AMD D 750"?
I think parent poster was referring to the shudderworthiness of the NAME "Celeron", more than the merits of the chip itself.
It's not a name that conjures up power and acceleration, as Marketing at Intel had hoped. It's a name that conjures up baby carrot sticks and blue cheese dressing.

That should be:
a:hover[ping] { -moz-outline: 1px solid green !important; }
in order to keep the web site from overriding your setting.
User style sheets are always to supercede site style sheets, according to the CSS specification. The "!important" modifier shouldn't be necessary.
I don't know if Mozilla implements that aspect of CSS correctly though, so it couldn't hurt to put it in there anyway.

Stolen from The Onion of about 4 years ago but still true today.
Except for the part about the domed base, which iMacs no longer have.
it's just incompatibility built-in for the sole purpose of being incompatible...
No, it's incompatibility because EFI is a far superior firmware solution to the 25-year-old cruft known as PC BIOS. The better technology won out.

1908 fps in glxgears.
So? Your laptop's LCD is never going to display more than 60 frames per second...
the most important benchmark: frames per second in molten core combat.
I'm pretty sure that if you overclock your Dual Core to the point where it becomes "molten", your FPS rate is going to be Zero.
A better question would be: WHY is Perl 6?
(and don't say "because 7 8 9", because that's the wrong answer.)

So does anyone know just how much porn there is on the internet?
All of it?
I'm looking for hard statistics cause most "normal" people don't get it when I refer to my connection as a "porn pipe".

They switched processors but are keeping the same prices.
But on the other hand, the new Intel-based models have much higher performance than the last PPC models.
On the other other hand, the last PPC models were logging behind Moore's Law as it was, due to market conditions.
On the fourth hand, Apple has probably reduced the COST of a Mac computer, if not the price.
Okay, I'm out of hands.

How about a router with a firewall and the slightest bit of common sense?
The problem is, where can you buy a bit of common sense?
Ask any sales associate at a Fry's or CompUSA, they won't have any of it.

"AMD has new processors which are 64 bits, thus can use Windows XP 64 instead of the normal Windows XP which is still 32 bits!"
Given the stories I've heard of people's experiences with XP64 thus far, I think this argument actually would sway me towards buying Intel.
