With Bush certain to be heading up the Executive Branch, is it any surprise? All the lights are green now... I think Gore would have let it happen, too, just not so easily.
AFAIK, it follows the W3C DOM that other apps use, and the SDK actually documents which properties and methods are extensions of the DOM. I've been working in XML for a couple months, and of the extensions to the standard DOM, the only one MS appears not to have is the ability to rename an element, because nodeName property of elements is write once/read only.
Exactly what kind of extension do you expect to find in an API? Embedding a small Easter Egg into a multimegabyte application is one thing, but bloating an API is another. Am I supposed to believe that xmlElement.generateHype() is supposed to return "Linux sucks!" or what?
What? Sarcasm? I have no idea what that is! I can assure you that I was never used sarcasm in my original reply... and I wasn't at all concerned that you weren't when you replied and insisted.
User ID's aren't a very good indicator of how long someone has been reading/. -- I've been here for (yikes!) more than two years. If you haven't noticed, there are a lot of people that use the South Park mantra "Drugs are bad, because drugs are bad" -- AND THEY MEAN IT. Fortunately, you aren't that brainwashed.
Don't get them a game -- get them something that lets the game better! Ratpadz are very awesome, very accurate mouse "pads".
I can testify that it's big enough for my mouse, a cup of coffee, AND an ashtray. It's also durable enough to handle a cup of coffee, and if you spill something on it, you can just rinse it with water. As far as mousepads go, it's the last one you'll ever buy. I have actually ordered two, but that's just because I wanted one at work, too:)
Instead of going on about it, I'll throw you a link to the main site. You can buy them there, or find links to other distributors (mainly overclocking/cooling stores like 2CoolTek or Plycon).
Most people don't have a choice of telephone company, cable company, electric company, water company, and tash collector. They like to complain about the high rates and low quality of service as if they had something to compare to. It makes public image a really difficult thing for Verizon (and PacBell, Time Warner Cable - can't wait for AOL too, et al), so they're easy targets to pick on.
Putting that disadvantage aside, and maybe even giving them the benefit of a doubt, they STILL suck.
Assume the position and turn your property over to the state. The FSF knows what is best for your hard work, and they will provide everything you need. Talk about freedom...
look, you're downloading/. -- the size of the content HEAVILY outweighs the size of the images on the page. It makes almost no difference.
To paraphrase what I wrote in a different reply:
If your system can't keep up, get one that can or get out.
Futhermore, you have filed me in the wrong category. I use a graphical browser because it adds a significant amount of functionality and usability. I use PINE for email because a packages like Communicator/Outlook/Pegasus don't.
You know something? I can't find any music on 8 track, and it's amost impossible to find a convenience store that sells leaded gas. The next thing I'll find out is that my parachute pants from junior high school don't fit anymore. What's this world coming to?
Why don't you try using a real browser? Internet Explorer is AWESOME if you use Windows, but even if you don't, there are several options such as Netscape, Opera, and Mozilla, (or derivatives).
It's been said before, so why am I saying it again???
I would use Debian if its packages weren't so ancient. Crissakes, until a few weeks ago, the OFFICIAL Debian contained Kernel 2.0!!!
A while back, Linux-Mandrake started making "a better Red Hat than Red Hat". It wasn't easy, but they got there. Making "a better Debian than Debian" would be even easier. It would be the best of Slackware combined with the best of Mandrake -- sign me up for one of those...
Spoken word was replaced by books, books were replaced by radio, radio was replaced by video. Two conclusions: TV is evolutionary, radio is dead.
MTV stopped playing music years ago because there simply isn't enough good music to fill the airwaves. Britney Spears, N'Sync, and everyone else that will be on the FOX Teen Choice Awards tonight are proof that there is something wrong. Regardless of what percentage they make up in the general population, teenage girls seem to have a HUGE influence on the music that is chosen to be "popular". Popular music hasn't appealed to the masses in decades.
You can have all the bandwidth in the world -- if nobody's interested in what's on, it's all a big waste of time.
When people found out that a secretive company was scanning the net, they threw a fit. You would think that an even nosier scan of every IP in Germany would be cause for even greater alarm. Ah, but it's further "proof" that Linux is better than Windows, so who cares?
That's completely untrue. I live in Minneapolis, and I have a HUGE variety of DSL choices (Time Warner doesn't have Internet ready cable yet).
You can get DSL service from the Incumbent LEC (Local Exchange Carrier), USWest... erm, Qwest, as well as from Competitive LEC's such as CovadNorthPoint, or Rhythms.
Separately, you have a choice of ISP. IMO, there are only two choices. VISI has really good deals on multiple static IP's, but can't compete with Onvoy performance wise, because the former uses expensive Qwest (got it right that time) DSL, while the latter uses Covad.
Of course, there are dozens of different ISP options. Some are overpriced, some offer better speed, some offer better features... it's truly a competitive market out there.

Plurals are for any value greater than 1.
1999-08-25 thru 2000-08-25 is more than one full year.
1998, 1999, and 2000 are three different years.
Using "millennium" logic, if you have been using Linux for just eight months, you have used it for DECADES -- both the 90's and the 00's!
