What a ridiculous claim! They show an example of a font with a "generous" x-height, but not one with a skimpy x-height for comparison. They also don't not show what happens when the x-height is too large (hint: the font becomes less legible). This is all Typography 101 stuff, people.
I've never gotten the hang of using the pen tool in illustrator. Lets see...option-click on a point to drag out a BCP...Oops! I've created a duplicate path by mistake! Give me Freehand's interface any day!
And I remember you! Actually the answer is "sorta, maybe, just wait." *shifts eyes nervously* Unfortunately that's been the answer for the last few years.
Everyone knows that the Objektsynth "Deathstar" logo (created in 1996) was the first and best 3-D logo to ignore the constraints of the black and white print world. Of course I may be biased;-)
I've used 3 Sony regular megapixel cameras and the latency is horrible! Being able to get the pic I want NOW instead of a half second too late is important to me.
They have always tried to spread Fear Uncertainty and Doubt by touting some future product. "NT is the future of Windows" "Blackbird will be bigger than Java" etc.
"Dissolution: Beside the Desperate Housewives knows one draws subscribe and three further series, which in this country does not admit is. The videos have a dissolution of 320 x of 240 pixels."
Usenet is a distributed Internet discussion system that evolved from a general purpose UUCP network of the same name. It was conceived by Duke University graduate students Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis in 1979. Users, sometimes called Usenetters, read and post email-like messages (called "articles") to a number of distributed newsgroups, categories that resemble bulletin board systems in most respects. The medium is sustained among a large number of servers, which store and forward messages to one another. Usenet is of significant cultural importance in the networked world, having given rise to, or popularized, many widely recognized concepts and terms such as "FAQ" and "spam".
Nice article from 2001.:) Even if that was still the standard, it's perfectly adequate for most situations where only a small portion of the display needs to be updated. PDA's don't need 17fps refresh to prevent flicker, as the article would have you believe. If 99% of the screen isn't changing, there is no "flicker" in that 99%. But it's probably a moot point. I'm sure in 2005 there are faster e-inks than in 2001.

That's the name of the game. Announce today and get people to wait for MS to innovate on somebody else's product.
They HAVE to wait for others to announce things before they can INNOVATE on their ideas.

"And yes, the sound drives me crazy, too. I'm 30 and an audio engineer. And I'm the only one in my household who can hear the damn TVs whining. :-)"
Good news: within about 5 years your hearing will degrade won't hear them anymore!
Bad news: within about 5 years your hearing will degrade and you may have to find another job!
And already it's being overused on /.
Just imagine if I would have bought a bunch of commercial domains before those squatter laws were written!
Bought? Heck, they used to give out domain names free!
Yeah, I'm kicking myself for not taking initiative too.
Ya beat me to it! :)
They would add more than a shred of credibility to this story.
Yarrr, thee sonic disruptor has thwarted me plans. Yarrr.
The iMac was in development for years before Jobs returned. Computers have a long development cycle, believe it or not.
..they could ask us questions like "Is this a dupe?"
BeOS worked well, still does, actually. And if Apple had bought BeOS it wouldn't be considered a failure.

Oh! Never mind.
Ah, yes. I believe I did see a follow-up article on flexible screen technology, but after several minutes of searching I'm unable to find it.
Why do you assume that I assume? Maybe I read this article from 2001. http://web.archive.org/web/20011208013445/http://d ailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011205/tc/electronic_pap er_race_2.html"
