Of course, why anyone who had the actual book might want that is beyond me, unless maybe their primary computer was a laptop or they traveled a lot.
My laptop is about the size of the DMG alone, and a lot lighter than half a dozen rulebooks. It's also much faster to find something using full text search than by flipping through pages.
My biggest complaint with 3E was the lack of official e-book editions. From the widespread torrents, I'd guess a lot of other people had the same issue. Maybe WotC have gotten that clue they needed.
I've yet to see a better way to get widescreen standard definition video to my family. If there's one I'm missing, I hope Steve Jobs will enlighten us.
ThinkPad laptop nipples give me tendonitis. I had to push for a T series that has a trackpad as well. Before that I was carrying around an external trackpad everywhere.

Mouse or Trackball?

The Kensington Expert Mouse trackballs are symmetric right to left.
I use one on my Linux box with my left hand, and one on the Mac with my right hand.
Well, fortunately ODF is in the next version of Lotus Notes. That should put it on a few million corporate desktops, and solve the "lack of perceived support" problem.
Personally, I'm hoping it's supported in the next version of iWork.
I imagine you got downmodded because you said you didn't see any similarity between it and OS X, when even a cursory reading of the discussion would reveal that the similarity is in both OSs being descendants of OpenStep.
My first exposure to in-game advertising was WipEout XL / 2097 on the PS1. The game had ads for Red Bull alongside the track.
Did it work? Hell yes. I mail ordered some Red Bull before it was commonly available in the USA, because I was intrigued to find out what it was, and the game was so cool.
In the US now we're told to get to the airport 2 hours before departure time. I've had it take 30 minutes to line up for check in, and another 40 to clear security.
At the far end you have to wait for your baggage, and usually airports are some way out of the city so you have to get transportation to your actual destination.
And that's ignoring the sheer unpleasantness of the experience.
Last time I had to travel from Austin to Dallas (about 300km) I opted to drive. It was only an hour more than the total travel time to go by air, and it was much more pleasant. Would I have taken a 90 minute bullet train ride instead? HELL YES.
There's an awful lot of air travel that could be replaced by trains.
Nobody in the HTML group thought columns would be useful either, apparently. As I said, HTML 1.0 and HTML 2.0 lacked any kind of columns or tables.
No, the idea was to build up the standards gradually. Start with the simple stuff and then move on to the more complicated problems. You know, good software engineering. Plus HTML was never intended to be a page description language. Computers at the time didn't have the kind of huge high-resolution screen that would make multiple columns a good idea.
It doesn't prove anything, beyond your ability to move the goalposts.
If you want fixed width columns, you can do that in CSS too. In fact, it's easier than having all columns fluid. I picked all columns fluid because that's the more difficult case.
As I wrote in my suggestion, the default could continue to be "allow everything". The new UI would only take effect if you decided to turn on cookie and script security.

It's a funny kind of libertarian that doesn't believe in the separation of church and state.

Download and install a copy of the original, or read about the history of it.
So vote for my request on Bugzilla. See sig.
Exactly why I didn't buy an iMac to replace my old "Luxo Jr" iMac.
Would it really be so hard to make the iMac height adjustable?
Funny, I love mine, and previously I was a diehard Model M user.
Switch on right-click support in the System Preferences or use the Ctrl key.
Personally, I use Ctrl for right-click even when I'm using Linux on a system with a 4-button trackball.
People still want to make DVDs? Go figure.
I've yet to see a better way to get widescreen standard definition video to my family. If there's one I'm missing, I hope Steve Jobs will enlighten us.
Uh, you're wrong?

Mainframes aren't designed for CPU performance. They're designed for reliability and I/O performance.
If your workload is high CPU, low to moderate I/O, then I'm guessing what you need is a Grid, not a mainframe.

Regarding OpenSolaris: GPL3 or STFU.
Very. e.g. 3 columns, 2 fixed, one fluid.
I can't conceive of drinking even half that much per day.

Two hour flight? There's no such thing any more.

Very few portable CD devices have optical out either.
My Sharp portable MD has optical out. Plenty were available that did, for anyone who cared.
That's exactly what GPL v2 said as well. It was just less specific about a few of the things the FSF disagrees with.
Or the digital optical output.
It's a good job there's no SDK for the iPhone, otherwise there might be security problems with the device, eh Steve?
