As with most of these sites (like geocities & angelfire), removing the 'http://' part from the URL will give you the page without a problem.
Ofcourse the given URL has a trailing / which will render the URL useless, so 'www12.brinkster.com/chrisrickard/development/zipp ycombo/combotester.asp' is the correct URL that leads straight to the page.
Its replacement is scheduled for launch in 2011 (it's in the article btw). Until that time it would be nice to have some nice crisp & clean new wallpapers for our desktops.
While I agree with you on the need for thorough & complete documentation, Trolltech is a company with people working for it full-time (and I guess a least 1 person that also updates the documentation on a regular basis). Doubtful the same can be said for VCF.
While maybe not shown in any screenshot, they do seem to be available. From the Features page: A complete set of powerful GUI classes, including a common set of base classes enabling advanced custom control creation. Some of the control classes include tree controls, list controls, check box and radio controls, push buttons, single line and multi line text controls, and many others.
Since you didn't RTFA, here's a relevant quote from TFA: The BlueSniper "rifle," created by John Hering and colleagues at Flexilis as a proof-of-concept device, resembles a rifle.
Justin Wong has won several tournaments at the previous EVO's, he can hardly be called an amateur. I wouldn't say amateurish but more show-off-ish, only pro's like Daigo can parry such kicks without blocking. I guess it was merely a matter of 'only one hit or even a block will win me the match, so why not?!'.
Not sure if it's 'completely new'. In Killer Instinct (released in '94), each character had a 'combo breaker' move which would, as the name suggests', break an opponents combo leaving opponent vulnerable and giving the character the chance to counter-attack (preferably with a sick-ass combo ofcourse). These 'combo breaker' moves were much harder to pull off than a 'tap' on the joystick. The only really different thing is that in SF3 you don't sustain damage. Don't really see that qualifying the entire thing as 'completely new technique' tho.
Killer Instinct was and still is my all-time fave beat-em-up arcade-game (the console versions and KI2 sucked donkey's tho), it depleted my bank-account faster than anything else back when the local arcade halls had it... What made it so insanely addictive to me were the crazy-ass huge combo's (the hit-counter would not go over 80 hits tho) you could make and the variations these allowed within them. It had also had amazing graphics compared to the other games of that era (it was released in '94). Brilliant game, tho never became quite as popular as the Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat series.

This is fairly indicative of the experience most women have with the Internet. And you don't think that had this been the case for Katie J and her domain she would've given it up already?
The least the 'owner' could do would be to offer the domain for sale to the rightful owner. Apart from the already mentioned 'they *knew* the domain was taken', if you had RTFA you would've noticed how Penguin doesn't want to buy the domain-name, they want Katie J to donate it to them/Katie T.
Nobody here is diminishing what happened to Katie T, but that doesn't mean what's been going on since the book was published is in any shape or form justified.
In most games the goals never change tho, esp not in platformers. You still need to pick up all 6 gems or shoot all bad guys or solve all puzzles or whatever... So all that's different is the order in which you do something.
while at the same time worrying if it would ever be able to take on IE on merits. Don't worry, as far as vulnerability goes, FF will never be able to catch up to IE.
...But back in the '80's when home computers such as the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and MSX were popular, prices for those never ever really sky-rocketed. Compared to the way more expensive PC's at that time (AT/XT), they could do pretty much the same stuff like word processing etc, except they were used way more as gaming computers (and had way better & nicer games at the time than PC's).
Driving slower is ALWAYS safer. You've obviously never had to deal with people driving *half* the maximum speed on a highway. They are definitely causing potential accidents as much as people speeding at 1.5 times the maximum speed.

As long as major companies still want people with mickey mouse qualifications, people are going to try and get mickey mouse qualifications.
If only they had techie skills as well to build a decent OS.
Miranda IM... Open source, free, and has a much nicer native look & feel to it than GAIM does on Windows.
Anyone else mistake this Slate for the M$ Slate when reading the title?

Yeah, but the W3C only gives out recommendations, they don't enforce 'em.
No sniper rifles were used, RTFA.
