Web standards are not a validator. Remember HTML and XML and thier bastard child XHTML are a DESCRIPTIVE LANGUAGES. Every element has SEMANTIC value. Something no validator can check. I've seen too many XHTML sites made by people who clearly have no idea how to implement the standard to make this conclusion. A validator only means it's parsable, it does not mean that a document complies philosophically with the W3C. You'd be surprised at the number of XHTML sites using tables for layout.
I wasn't talking about crappy indie punk bands. I was speaking more about artsy fartsy independant music that I like so much. No, bad punk and ska bands should die a terrible death.
Your argument is as old as time and it is eternally on the losing side. You could say the same thing about the impressionists. Oh, the true test of a good painting is if it is a perfect incarnation of man's splendor via realistic modeling / rendering. Well, let's get rid of Monet, Manet, and all art made after the neoclassical period. In fact we can apply this to every period of art history! I don't have any problem with your taste, you're entitled to it, just as I am entitled to mine. Let's not forget that it wasn't so long ago that the Beatles weren't considered music by many, and now they seem quite mild.
I like experimental music. You can rant about it all you want, and that's fine. Just don't try to impose your unenlightened views upon me. Almost ALL experimental musicians are classically trained before they decide to try something new.
Great job nigeria, but i'm afraid it's too late to reach alpha centauri as the The russians have already launched their spaceship 70 turns ago. With a 100% survivability rating, it seems the russians will win despite the American's higher civilization score.
A personal relay would be a better idea. Basically, an 802.11 device that hooks you up to the net (assuming that by the time these things come out we'll have the world blanketed in wifi) that hooks you up to some kind of storage server. All the other devices you wear will be low power bluetooth and simply use the 802.11 device to actually connect to the net.
What about the Olympic GAMES, or the X-Games, etc. Besides, what makes computer games any different than chess. There are professional chess players who live off it, its only inevitable that computer game players eventually will. The only problem is that there is only one game of chess, while there are a myriad of computer games. Therefore while one can be the best chess player in the world, a computer gamer can only be say, the best Quake , UT, or Warcraft III player in the world.
Let's not forget about the recent clash between SPEWS.org and SomethingAwful.com . The toll the spam war takes on everyday users through organizations such as Spews who are too heavy handed. Treating spam as a war to be won at any cost has allready produced enough casualties.
the govt. refuses to declassify large portions of the lynch rescue taking place. The hospital doctors had attempted to contact the U.S. BEFORE sending the ambulance. Lastly, if I was lynch, I'd be outraged at the amount of lying our government has done so far. Let's also not forget that lynch really didn't do that much. I'm not saying anything bad, but she is not a hero in any conventional sense. She didn't hold any bad guys off till her ammo was out as was said early on. And really didnt' do anything than be in the wrong place at the wrong time. The U.S. army has held her up as a model of courage, when all that really happened was that an unlucky G.I. got in a car crash, got taken as POW, and got busted out in a bizarre case of miscommunication a few weeks later. A hero is proactive, or has to undergo extreme situations. Lynch's situation was a fluke which she passed through essentially in shock. I'm not blaming Lynch at all, she did nothing, but the media is absolutely horrid when they call her a Hero as doing so robs the word of its true meaning.
What a PR stunt for the Army. Jessica Lynch's rescue has been thoroughly discredited by now. (The hospital tryed to return her first, instead the Army ignored them and decided that exploding walls and using flash bangs was the best way to get into the hospital, the alternative being to call them up and ask for her).
The saddest part is jessica's claim of not remembering anything about the ordeal. I'm sure she was ordered to simply say that. This is a shame, and an insult to the doctors who so cared for her during her stay.
according to http://www.nutch.org/docs/credits.html the Internet Archive is hosting nutch, and Overture has given them hardware. Sounds pretty sweet. Probably not the 20,000 strong linux cluster google has going though.
Hasn't ms allready bought unix stuff from SCO for their unix services for windows software? If that's the case, that probably allows them to use Linux.
CMYK is important yes, but photoshop has numerous features that the gimp doesn't have yet. Image Variations, pantone colors, vectors (yes adobe photoshop has limited vector support) a MUCH better way of handling type (the gimp is truly moronic at handling text) better painting tools (have you seen the entire revamped brush system in photoshop 7, amazing) along with better graphics tablet support. And I have not even come close to covering it all. And even after spending 2 hours trying to get used to gimps interface, it was very counterintuitive. Whoever made all the dialogs is a moron, unless you memorize every keystroke, all actions take 2 to 3 more clicks on average.
Oh yeah, my biggest pet peeve, when you dynamically transform a selected area that stupid grid pops up instead of a more interactive live preview transform. I wish the gimp developers the best, but the gimp is years behind photoshop.
Except the whole shirts with binary shit only readable by geeks is a cliche. One need only visit think geek to know that. My favorite is the "soothing green light" shirt, heads and shoulders above the rest.
Maya does have keyboard shortcuts but the mouse interface is really well worked out and you see people using a lot of menus very fast. Including skeleton menus that are created by left / right/ middle clicking in the work pane. Blender is a simple program compared to maya. Maya not only models, it animates and renders too. Maya also is generally more featured than Blender, and as such there is simply a tremendous amount of features to navigate through. Much of it is accessible only by menu purely because accessing it otherwise would require that you use a chinese keyboard to have enough shortcuts:). Yet, through all this, the interface is very intuitive and fast.
Photoshop is the opposite. Photoshop is a very simple program, and the keyboard shortcuts are useful if you're doing a lot of repetitive actions, in which case you can temporarily memorize the shortcuts. But I feel more efficient using mice and menu there. Why? I don't have to reposition my hands, and 95% of what you use (the toolbar) is just a click away, while te other 5% is in menus which are at most 2 levels deep.
Now, keyboard shortcuts while say programming are great. They let you keep your hands on the keyboard. I love ViM and hate repositioning the mouse.
Maya has an excellent UI from the little I've gotten to play with that a friend showed me. I've been shown the Blender and Max UIs, and they are atrocious. Besides not all advanced users memorize keyboard shortcuts. I've been using Photoshop pretty regularly for 5 years now and only memorize a small number of shortcuts. Sure photoshop is a much simpler program, but still, well written menus can make memorization not so necessary.
The key to a good UI isn't really widgets or anything (although Blender's are crappy) its the logical organization of the programs abilities coupled with the logical presentation of the data the program interacts with. Blender would also benefit greatly from text based, rather than icon based navigation. Or possibly a Icons with their text name right after them. Most of Blender is a collection of silly random unnmaed buttons which I have little care to mouse over.

I was being a little bit ironic. I hope you'll be more perceptive of this in the future.

I'm almost certain that tempest can't read laptop screens, which I assume the man is question uses as he is a traveler.

how is this different with having two directories
addressbook and addressbook/appointments
that govts support their greatest athletes in order to win for the olympics, therefore once they're on the team they don't need a job.

Does that mean that when my mom calls me up for tech support that I'll have to teach her and her computer where the any key is?
address the differences in VoIP and dont' make it just another phone line.

Seriously, Operation Desert Storm, Tomohawk Missles, and now the Wolf Pack. Can't the army have more consumer friendly names with more pizazz.
I nominate we rename it the Sniff 'n Shout. Or something in that vein

I've done it, the latest CSOffice supports Photoshop 7. For me, it seems to run at about 1/2 to 3/4 speed, depending on what you do.
