By then IP address space will be a non-issue due to the global meltdown that occurs when the year flips to 5 digits in 10,000 AD. How could those moron programmers not have anticipated FIVE digits!
For me, turning off EAX, setting the card's Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering control panel to 'Application Preference', and setting image_cacheMinK higher in autoexec.cfg (see page 7&8 of the guide) all seemed to make the biggest difference.
Where do you draw the line? What if someone's just watching a really steamy rated R movie?
I've noticed that if you have polarized sunglasses on and tilt at a certain angle the image on an LCD screen disappears, so maybe the vehicle windows could just be polarized in a certain way to hide the image..
I guess it's a matter of taste, to me it looked much better than some much more expensive movies. Some reviewers, like this one, were actually upset that it looked too polished--that it had lost it's TV retro feel. The director gives a lot more background on Jack Green's work in this interview and this book.
Well, if you want to predict success or failure based on one spouse, my Star Trek / Star Wars hating wife came out of the movie saying that it's the best movie she's ever seen in her life!
Bugs in IE? Like what? I take it you've never done any CSS coding and haven't seen this list? Anyway, by ghetto he also means that it is missing many new features that other browsers have. Do you think the IE7 team looked at IE6 and could find nothing at all to improve?
Here he rags on the favorites in IE. The 'Organize Favorites' dialog doesn't have sorting, you can't view the URLs, you can't check if the sites still exist, it's very unaesthetic, and you can't create a folder in a particular spot just at the bottom (compared to right click on FireFox Bookmarks menu and clicking 'New Folder'). From the menu itself you can't create spacers or new folders. Plus you can't just right-click an item in the menu to get a properties dialog to rename a particular item.
FF is 'smooth, reliable, and clean?' The UI designer for IE is saying that he thinks Firefox is a cleaned up and reliable alternative to IE that's equivelently or slightly more polished. It's an opinion that many people agree with. Then you add to that all the features like search bar, RSS reader, tabs, spyware immunity, fewer security problems, text resizing not locked, and dev tools like source view/script css dom debugger-page info. Then on top of all that you add a few key extensions like the dev toolbar, Tab Mix Plus, Adblock & Flashblock and it's in a completely separate league.
mainstream product not a reason to switch I don't think he was saying IE was not mainstream, just that he was pleased Firefox was so polished and painless to switch to.
You realize that you can turn these security warnings off. IE nags continuously to enable ActiveX if you disable it. In pre-SP2 you get a "Page may not display correctly." popup that's impossible to remove. In XP SP2 you get the 'information bar' with "Page may not display correctly. Click here for options." Clicking it gives a help popup. The help says you can turn off the information bar for each possible messages but it doesn't tell how and says that it is not recommended. The only way I've managed to kill it is Maxthon's 'Remove Web Annoyances' add-in.
This only saves time if you are building a list from scratch. What if you jsut want to add one or two songs?.. Again, 5 steps when the process can easily be implemented in 2.
I installed the new iTunes and they've changed the behavior. If you have a playlist selected on the left the top right search box only searches that playlist. It now only searches the entire library when you have selected 'Library' on the left.
If you can use Applescript you can script it. Scroll to "Search Command" on this page. If not, how about creating a new smart playlist where the first condition is Playlist Is 'the desired playlist' and second condition (to get a second condition click the + button on the far right) is Artist contains 'artist name'?
And doing it in an IFrame can get around one of the biggest disadvantages of XMLHTTPRequest, the broken browser back button. This is the method that Google Maps uses to be able to page back through search results. The Ajax Wikipidia article mentions this and other workarounds.
I have the Sanyo 8100 and does indeed have fully functional T9 that almost always works correctly (a nice shortcut to switch to it is when in Abc mode just hold the upper right key for about 1 1/2 seconds - also when it has guessed a word arrow up and down for alternate matches). SMS is annoying on this phone though, because you have to use the phone's web browser to read and send. The newer 8200 has SMS built in.
I disagree. Like all the Hawk games, THUG 2 has a great soundtrack. If the author of this article disagrees so strongly why don't they list games that they feel were slighted along with some kind of justification?
Thanks, I think I had both open next to each other with the permanent obscuring permalink popup and grabbed the wrong one. In addition to the lame popup has anyone else noticed that the zoom slider is buggy as hell on Firefox?
This was discussed and answered a few days ago by 'afidel', "I asked rob and he said they check for DDoS's whenever someone try's to post anonymously from an address...".
Maybe he was reading about the south African region not the country named South Africa. The percentage is much higher in some of the nearby countries. Not 60%, but some are approaching 40%. Try the interactive PBS map from 2003.
Enabling pagerank allows Google to track every page you go to instead of just tracking searches and pages reached via searches. Collecting this information alone could easily make it worth their effort to create their own toolbar./tinfoil

Suing them IS trying to remove it, so suing them invokes the DMCA.
I have a 6600 GT (and Athlon 2400+) and it runs smoothly at 1024x768 with most of the settings dialed up.
Install the latest Doom 3 patch, the latest Nvidia Forceware patch, and the latest motherboard and sound card patches.
For me, turning off EAX, setting the card's Antialiasing and Anisotropic Filtering control panel to 'Application Preference', and setting image_cacheMinK higher in autoexec.cfg (see page 7&8 of the guide) all seemed to make the biggest difference.

The Shining Redux appears to capture the spirit of the book much better.
You should be emailing banned@slashdot.org. Also, you were attempting to send to 'Cowboy Neal' who's at pAter@slashdot.org, not pEter.
No, it's only $16.47.

and Slashdot begins using CSS
Go to Slashcode in Firefox and and do View, Page Style, Slashdot. Not one single table tag! The top article there says it's coming soon.

They've been working on it for a while and you can preview it at SlashCode.

Also, for the lazy, the answer to:

Google
MSN
OMG, It appears to be a dirt field on Both! Shock! Awe! Conspiracy!
Maybe you'll find the marriage between Google maps and hotornot personals even handier. (next in the popup from the pushpin takes you through all pics for a given zip - link via metafilter this morning)
This is what it brings to mind for me.
