If you view it in one browser you can't be sure that it will "look fine" in other browsers.
You can either program to standards as an abstract concept and disregard how it looks, OR you can code to what's used because you realise that browsers (and software in general) have 'sploitable faults.
Coding to standards means - by definition - ignoring bugs in implementations.
Kind of - there are certainly trends of good interfaces. I really hate the usability laws and people who claim absolutes - but there's something there.
I see a few asertions there but I don't yet see how comparing media rights and the freedom of computers to that of racial/sexual rights is wrong. The fact is that governments have their words locked in formats owned by a single company, and the way we can communicate is being locked down. Be that taking a legal portion of a DVD for education (as I did in university for presentations) or opening a PDF so that I can see how hackneyed the script was to Apocalypse, or reading about security of DRM so that write a report on which one is best.
This is a bigger issue than Stallman or GNU, but the freedom of data and computers is as important as data and computers are in our society.
2K is bloody great - but XP is a dogs breakfast. XP stalls for tens of seconds at a time, and it doesn't stay up for days on end. It's like the lags when starting Visual Studio.NET in W2K - except it goes over all the OS in XP. When I click shutdown it often takes half a minute to bring up the dialog box.
I very much doubt that this is my installation because I've done the same on many machines now. There just aren't that many configuration options to account for this awful behaviour.
In summary - Windows 2000 is bloody billiant (sic), and XP is a stuttering fool.
I'd take it the other way... after all the themes over the years that try to ripoff OSX, not a one has got close. The proportions are wrong. The font-rendering is screwy. The software, well... black and white minstrels.
The fact that you would consider Jubei odd is just biazarre. Should I ever make a cabinet I wouldn't try to carve bold new directions for cabinet making ("I'm no longer King of the World, I'm an unpronouncable symbol, ) - I'd want the traditional beauty, and I'd fill a sock full of quarters and go after Cmdrtaco's cabinet. It's fucking cool.
Anti-aliasing is intelligent bluring - it's an averaging of detail that can't possibly fit in the current resolution.
At low resolutions this can work against you. Infact, because of this problem, people hand-hint fonts at low-resolutions to exagerate the features and make them more readable. They change the vector to suit the bitmap rendering.
The point is that anti-aliasing can make a font more blurry than necessary. If a letter has a straight line it would best represented with a solid line of black, not with a solid line of black with a few greys on the edge, regardless of how "true" this rendering would be.
So anti-aliasing is intelligent bluring, and it's great most of the time, but the blurring ain't so intelligent.
You should also remember that these are the same type of people who say Windows XP will run fine on a P166MMX (bus speed 600mhz).
Although there are parts that are designed for temperature variance (the EPIA mini IPX mobo) they're still the same basic concept and a good heatsink/fan will be more moderate.

RSS and RDF are web services.
Apple's Watson (snigger) is the greatest piece of software since Napster. It's that impressive, and it's all about queries and xml feeds. Do some searching on it - it's bloody great, and consumers love it.
Web services is a buzzword, but it's a more formalised version of any interactive website.
No no no - anyone suggesting a necessary and reasonable number backed with figures is always laughably naive and I hereby confront you as a wise bearded-weirdy with a BG quote that will rattle you to the very bone...
Informative? Here we have a poster that doesn't know whether the broadband adaptor is out yet and the only insight given is that the gamecube uses a smaller disk. There are no technical details. The gamecube uses a smaller disk.
Amigas load off floppy! Sega megadrives load off carttridge... ergo I believe there's very little chance of getting things to work!
Plus One fucking insightful!
Look, the disk is just a plain ole' DVD (they didn't invent their own format) with the edges snapped off. It's just like those mini cds. There is nothing special about it.
Please moderators -- just wait a bit, OK? There's no need to blow your load right now.

We're on internet time, and you're five minutes too late, buddy!
Perhaps in a decent GUI, but here in KDE 2.something I select the window decoration at the edge of the screen.
Is it that XFT hack?

It's not about the era. It's about whether it's reliable. 486s are chosen because they are reliable, and Windows '98 was chosen by a terrorist!
