That's exactly what will happen. The AOL client currently uses the IE rendering engine, so there's absolutely no reason to think that this new service won't.
You're making a connection that isn't there. AOL squandered Mozilla, they never stopped using Internet Explorer. This new Netscape service will no doubt be powered by Internet Explorer. Ironic, but I guarantee it.
...but why bother convincing someone who's looking for faults?
"[Wired] does wierd things when sized very small" - that's like saying my car reverses kind of funny when I'm backing up a 30 degree incline. Valid point, but what the fuck?
Huh? That statement wasn't made in defense of tables. The Zen Garden exists to showcase flexible CSS layout - you can't have the flexibility of some of those layouts when you're using tables. That's what the author meant.
Seriously, is anyone still using it for anything? I can kinda-sorta understand how it would be good as an intro to programming, but it's like tinkering with a Model T engine and working your way up to a V8 over the course of a few years. It strikes me as impractical for anyone seriously trying to learn.
This is a question directed towards Niven fans, and not the man himself:
Can someone please explain the redeeming value of Destiny's Road? It was agony to finish. I've read other work by Mr. Niven, A Hole in Space being my favorite so far. But DR was slow and uninteresting. I have this theory at the back of my mind that there must be some deep underlying allegory I'm missing that would make it interesting, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
It actually looks like valid CSS v.3 to me, but that would mean that yeah, it wouldn't validate yet.
I'm not expert on the v.3 spec, so don't quote me, but I believe Mozilla has partial support already. That would explain why it works in Moz and not IE/others. Bloody brilliant idea, though.
If you're using a French press, it's all the same. I've had luck with both mechanical blade grinders (ultra-fine) and hand cranked mill-style grinders (pretty coarse)
The only case where water moving makes a difference is in a drip machine. Nobody's recommending those, if you'll notice.;)
Oh yeah, reading a few comments prior to mine - water and grind are important. Coffee is like 98% water, so if you're starting with gross tap water, don't expect the coffee to be incredible.
Don't ever buy pre-ground coffee. Whole beans go stale in a week, but ground coffee starts going stale within the day. Grind just before you brew, and you'll be far happier.
The grind itself is inconsequential, if you keep in mind that the coarser the grind, the more coffee you'll need. A really fine grind should only require 2Tb of coffee per 8oz cup, but if you use a hand-grinder and come out with much larger grounds, you might want to use 3Tb or more. Experimentation is the key here, figure out what works best for your tastes.
What most people aren't aware is that by the time you buy your beans, they're already stale. Whether you get them from the local supermarket or from a Starbucks, they've been prior-roasted, shipped, and in most cases, have sat around for far too long. Roasted beans last about a week before they start losing their flavour.
If you've never tried freshly roasted coffee, make it a point of going to a specialty roaster in your city and getting the freshest coffee they have - if you can get some that was roasted the previous day, pay whatever they ask for it.
Use a French press, there's really nothing better for black coffee (except for an espresso machine) and make sure not to let it sit for two long - 4 minutes with boiling water should do the trick.
You'll never go back. (and if you do some research on roasting it yourself [which is incredibly simple], you'll be amazed at how cheap green beans are)
Yeah; pity you're completely wrong when you say that Verdana is a pixel font (and that Tahoma is not)
Tahoma was designed by Matthew Carter, formerly of BitStream. He was commissioned by Microsoft to create a set of screen-friendly fonts, Verdana and Georgia being his output.
Verdana is based of the Tahoma outlines (and looks almost identical, has been widened slightly, and hinted differently. It's true to say that it is specifically designed to look good on-screen; it's a complete fallacy to say it's a pixel font.
I never did play MOO2, but I still pull out the original MOO every few weeks.
My strategy as of late has been to conquer the galaxy without building any ships other than colony ships. Sending out transports to ground fight is the only way to accomplish this, and it's a bitch when you get an enemy fleet in orbit right after conquering a new planet. The only way to win is to let 'em bomb and keep sending troops from other planets until you're able to build a missle base or two.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And if you ever get the Comet disaster, buh-bye planet.
Tough, but do-able. Sometimes I give in and build a few ultra-advanced ships to take everyone out with ease, other times I make it all the way to the end without building a single armed ship.
There are plenty of BBS's alive and kicking these days. Ironic that this was posted, since I just started playing LORD again last week for the first time in years. I'm not dumb enough to post any direct links here, but a quick search on Google for "telnet LORD" (or game of choice) should get you where you want to go.
I'm still looking for LORD II. Sigh. That one just started taking off when my local scene died.
This sounds familiar. I bought in after following a few stocks for months. They were performing amazingly well, so I figured now was the time to get in, about two weeks before the big crash in April
Needless to say, I'm down quite significantly (about 60%, not as bad as your 80, but it still hurts).
My strategy now? Wait. I won't sell now. At this point, I've lost enough that I'd have nothing to gain from selling, so I'm holding on. It might take years, but between recoveries, buy-outs, splits, and everything else that could possibly happen, I think there's a chance I could recover.
I've already seen how much I can lose though... at least I've hit bottom more or less:/
I thought TLD's are supposed to be categorical, for general use applications. I'd like to know what the crackheads at Rathbawn Computers Limited are thinking of doing with these...
Someone should tell them to go register a couple of SLD and quit wasting their $50k.

Hey, if you can figure out how to program the three laws into today's robots, we'd all love to
hear your technique.
10 IF ACTION = KILLHUMAN THEN STOP
20 IF ACTION = TAKEORDER THEN DO
30 IF ACTION = SUICIDE THEN STOP
40 GOTO 10
Jesus, do I have to do everything?
Seems to me the other two are rather moot if the first one's missing.
Then again, the average vaccuum cleaner won't go on a murderous rampage anyway.
Dollars to donuts these robots aren't coming ThreeLaws-equipped.

Since no one else answered, here's the voice of one web designer completely agreeing with this assessment. It's not right, but it's the truth.
Use tables for tabular data. Anyone who says you shouldn't is an idiot.

Linux & Perl are seriously broken, and no one in a leadership capacity seems to know enough to fix them.
Hey, it IS fun making blanket statements about arbitrary technology I don't understand!

Actually, it's not even CSS3, it looks like CSS2.
The W3 spec has details on the new selectors CSS2 allows.
