Hi, I just decided to piggy-back this message as it went out of New Zealand because we only connect to the interweb when the flying birds aren't passing through cook strait.
Anyway, my point is that this is the perfect thing for a thin-client (running citris mainframe juice) with a server-room tucked away to your left.
Cook me some eggs, WasterDave, cook me some fucking eggs.
It's the wrong answer. Printing out in landscape will still print the page vertically. Vertical printing is different to printing on a wider page (which is all landscape is). For example,
They want a page printed like (pipe is the page's edge)
1,2,3,4 | 5,6,7,8 | 9,10,11 | 12
and not jumbled like
1,2 | 5,6 | 9,10 | 12
3,4 | 7,8 | 11
The former can be joined together and the content will still be readable across the page.
Horizontal printing is about continuing sentences and content across all 4 pages before making a line-break, when you return to the 1st page again. I wouldn't do this for text but for diagrams it makes a lot of sense.

To ask when one huge function should be split into to, or when two similar functions should be merged, indicates to me that the design might be flawed. Sometimes that's unavoidable; for instance, if you are involved in a project written by someone else.
Dude, that's the funniest quote I've read all year. Thanks.

Incidentally, Slashdot do this too. My blind friend got me to sign up for him because he uses Lynx normally, and his windows screen-reader software couldn't handle the image.
Well quality is a measured like anything else. Quality is initial quality and duration of the media. There are good quality CDR disks and bad, and after a while you can tell the difference because they won't skip so easily with scratches. I have read that consumer CD writers don't burn as deep as commercial printers, which I assume is a quality issue. So 6 months later the sound quality might be better with one of these.
You can't get high-res sound from low-res whether it be sound or image or whatever. But there are algorithms to clean up low-res sound - perhaps they apply these. It wouldn't be a lie, but it would be a strange opinion, to say that this was a superior sound.
Also, it's not like watching video is a background process. You don't need to offload it so it doesn't interfere with what you're doing - watching video is what you're doing!
I liked Play, and I'm already bored of 18. I mean dear god it sounds tired. Basically a soundtrack album can't go on forever and the idea has been done. It sounds like b-sides, and it's the best he can do which is unfortunately. Moby, as a person, has been a git lately. He begins every damn interview by saying "this may sound presumptuous, but..." or "this may sound like trite, but..." -- so, why on earth say it?! If it's such trite then find another way of saying it. His interviews sound more like his music - damn tired and guff.
Here's a clue Moby - maybe you're not selling as many records because you suck. You're like the MPAA or the RIAA - always blaming someone else and you're especially vicious when you don't have any evidence.

All you need in the config file is the types of options you normally see. Strings, multiple choice, toggle (checkboxes), some branches. You could have regexps to see if the data was valid. It's not so hard when you actually go and see what's represented in these files.
Now for those you could invent an XML format in a few hours. The near-perfect solution would be one where the configuration format was self describing of its options so that a parser could present a GUI to the user. For all of the things listed above there's no problem.
However when trying to enrich the interface the XML format becomes difficult. You'd want to provide 'wizards' for step-by-step configuration. This doesn't even sound too hard now that I think about it.
And then you have filters that parse this XML down to plain-text for compatibility reasons.

Geez, is that site a piss-poor ripoff of Ximian.com or wot?
Often the results of a previous SQL query are used to form the current SQL query. In such a case stored procedures are lovely.
How could it be handled better then?

Ditto for frames then. Point is that they've invented their own tags and css Just Like Everyone Else.
