Add user_pref("general.useragent.override", "yourbrowserhere"); to the prefs or user.js. Works nicely on the Mac. This and other useful tips courtesy of the Mozilla end user docs.
Slightly related to this article, too; there was a mention of another nearly extinct tree growing in Mauritius in that book, wasn't there?
Yup. Iirc, it was some sort of wild coffee thing which had to be kept under armed guard because people were slowly killing it taking bits off as souvenirs of its rare status.

I see the Statesider covers occasionally in used bookstores and wonder where people are getting them, since all the fresh ones have always been Kirbys.
Ordering Canadian should be really cheap, considering our drowning dollar and the fact that Corgi Canada now prints the paperbacks, reducing cover price (we used to get pbs from the UK, too).
I'll recommend White Dwarf Books (never mail-ordered from them, but they're in Vancouver and I've bought from the store) and Nebula Books in Montreal (haven't ordered from them either, but emailed an inquiry once and got prompt, polite response), they've an entire page devoted to Pratchett, with cover gallery. Hope this helps.
To the other reply, I'll add my recommendation of RichInStyle, featuring giant bug table, plus bug-demo and css test pages. He's working on mapping support in less mainstream browsers, like different Konqueror versions and W3C's Amaya, and has a decent cross-compatibility tutorial.
PS. Your timetable looks fine in BeOS's NetPositive 2.2, except that without a body bgcolor, Net+ defaults to grey, and imho, the Windows-1252 charset declaration is unnecessary.
Does anyone know of a place (on the web etc) where you can get a compact list of most of the common core
of tags support by both the HTML standard and most browsers (ie. both IE and NS)as well as a list of
unsupported browser specific tags.

Is there anywhere on the web that has instructions? Can you even put more RAM into an iMac?
From the Apple site, the official step by step how-to, complete with illustrations.
theimac.com has a photo version for top and bottom slots. They say the max is 192 MB (circa 1999).
You may also want to look at the developer notes (links via frame seem broken, use ones in doc), since there seem to be different DIMMs, depending on the model. Hope this helps.
Stableford, Bear, Stableford, Bear... The names are so similar it's easy for me to get confused.
"How is a raven like a writing desk?" "Neither begins with a B!"
Umm...ObSemiOntopic- If anyone's interested in more "longer living through tech" specfic, I'd say that Brian Stableford's "Mortimer Gray's History of Death" (YBSF 15th or 16th) is a good guess for society once distribution of longevity treatments normalizes.
And then there's always Heinlein, who held that replacing all one's blood every so often was the key to prolonged youth.
And richly deserved its Hugo+Nebula, though I found the expanded novel disappointing.
"The Magic Bullet" is by Brian Stableford, who's also a biologist. It's reprinted in the 7th YBSF and well worth reading, as is "Les Fleurs Du Mal" in the 12th. (not a related work, but I thought I'd plug my favourite futuristic gengineering whatdunit)
What percent of the MP3's you actually listen to do you own a 'real' copy of?
I could be facetious and say 'none', since my speakers stay off these days, but I do have a few mp3s, and they're mostly live/rare/unreleased, so no 'real' copies. I've bought cds for which I'd downloaded songs; mainly stuff I was going to get anyway and wiped for disk space once I had the albums.
As for how the try-all-then-buy would work in my case, the answer is "very badly". Before I buy something readily available in full, for free, I'd have to be getting added value for money in terms of useability/nicer format/reward a deserving creator.
Frex, I doubt I'll buy a Doonesbury collection while they keep the entire archive online (and the library has the cd version) no matter how much I enjoy Duke strips, and the only thing Baen's samples have ever done is convince me not to get X's latest, though I like how they post 3 chapters, not just one. Otoh, I ordered Harbaugh's character dictionary based on the quality of his site, but it took me 2 years, and was because I wanted to read entries at leisure and Mozilla was buggy on the frames.
I appreciate people putting their whole works online, but I think that from a sales point, going beyond moderate samples (say, short stories/essays in full, shopping link for novels/collections) is detrimental. Few authors/artists are good enough to sustain my interest when it comes to turning freebies into own-copies, and given the choice between buying hardcopy of someone's useful textbook and spending that money on Feynman books, Tuva or Bust wins. I also think that most people are paying out of guilt or on principle.
That said, given the choice between a more costly physical copy (of reasonable quality and price) and a cheap/er online copy from a favourite (and worthy) author (Pratchett or Hambly, say), I'll take the tactile (not to mention archival) version. And I'd be really happy if I could buy print-on-demand facsimiles of oop/obscure works.

http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/japanese.html and the Monash Nihongo ftp archive-

BeOS has a Japanese language option, which uses the type in romaji/pick your kanji method. It's not bundled in with the Personal Edition, but you can get it on their site.
Jim Breen's Japanese Page annotates a lot of useful links, especially for software and language learning. He also maintains an ftp archive which mirrors stuff for most platforms (Amiga and Newton, frex).
If you're on Windows, I recommend JWPce. It uses the Edict files so you can lookup meanings, readings, etc. as well as type bilingually. It also opens/saves as all the common Japanese encodings, plus Unicode.

This was actually Duchovny's idea, and not originally in the script, at least, according to his interview at EOnline.[1]
I agree with your rant. I quit watching shortly after the movie, and nothing I've heard about recent seasons makes me regret it.

On the non-css side, the Anybrowser site has useful tips, and HTML with Style pushes structure first, then layout. For "what works in what" info, there's the results pages of Robin's HTML 4 Conformance Tests and Ian Hickson's Evil Test Suite.

NCD's tag/browser guide (good up to 4/5 of NS/IE), with the results of Robin's HTML 4 Conformance Tests, and Ian Hickson's Evil Test Suite for more outré browsers.
For more detail on usage/display, I recommend Webreference.com's report on html4/extensions in the 4.x browsers and Index Dot Html (big two, plus Mosaic/Opera). Hope this helps.

Not exactly real numbers, but a study on kids using the web which I found through Jakob Nielsen's site found that many just tuned the ads out (details under Behavioral Observations).
