ok, I received! I also replied, but I will post that here in case your mail reader filters me out as spam:
I think I've found the answer to your problem here:
http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_pos_z-index.asp
It says:
The z-index property sets the stack order of an element. An element with greater stack order is always in front of another element with lower stack order.
Note: Elements can have negative stack orders.
Note: Z-index only works on elements that have been positioned (eg position:absolute;)!
Here is a page with a Z-Index test: http://www.hixie.ch/tests/adhoc/css/box/abs olute/z -index/006.html
which Opera 7 handles flawlessly.
And the following page: http://www.brainjar.com/css/positioning/def ault5.a sp
Which details that Opera has had functioning (although buggy) Z-Index support since v5, and support for fixed positioning that IE still doesn't have working right.:-)..
that was running it on a FC2 distribution, with the display set to my main system which runs Debian. (apt-get install firefox yielded nothing, and I really didn't have time to go searching)
OTOH, though, really how much less memory footprint does firefox have vs. mozilla? The various components that aren't included with firefox are mostly seperate executeables even with the full mozilla...
Well, one of the really nice things is that Opera is fairly responsive to code that can be demonstrated to show that they are not rendering correctly, as well.
I've had two instances with my own pages, where things did not render correctly.. one, the bug was fixed in the next Opera update, and the other one, they emailed me back and pointed out that I was using something in a way that pretty much only worked in IE.
I would love to see code that causes Opera to fail, the more it gets fixed, the better I feel.
(I did recently submit all of www.ifilm.com as something that doesn't work)
I tried out Firefox a couple of days ago, and was pretty pissed off that it would crash while doing, quite literally, nothing. I had loaded slashdot and fark in seperate tabs. Was off playing pokerstars in wine.. went to go back to firefox after about 10 minutes, and realised it wasn't in my task bar anymore. Oops!
I've been using Opera for months , due to an older slower system (P2/600, 128M ram).. aside from being unable to use plugins (except for Java, which I can't get working in any incarnation of Mozilla, and haven't since the very first releases of Mozilla), and it specifically not rendering most anything that does a browser detect even with the fake IE or fake Mozilla settings on, it's been flawless for me.
Opera is fast, and very memory friendly, compared to all the others.
i find it fun that lots of people are putting firefox through all these tests and not having problems.. whereas, no matter what I do in Firefox, it crashes.
every single click to load another page. Boom! Seg fault!
ah, yes, and after reading much more of the thread, it appears that there are states that do allow formerly convicted felons to vote, and there are states that do not allow this to happen.
So, it's part of the voting rules, which are delegated to the states. And, as they are delegated to the states, I really have nowhere to argue that it should be something done across the nation.
Not so sure about that - They are doing something known to be incredibly stupid, knowing that it's incredibly stupid, and doing it for science.
I doubt I'd even remember the last eruption, if it weren't for the fact that it was the day after my 4th birthday, and that I remember my mom seeing it going on on the news and saying that it "looked like someone dropped an h-bomb on the mountain".. and i can't remember anything else she ever said.. hmm.
As the article says, there are good points and bad points for everything.
Verizon uses BREW because it has a guaranteed quality control process. Verizon also has a very specific guaranteed quality control process that every phone model they let onto their network now will go through. Verizon's semi-official position is "we don't use the same equipment as a lot of other carriers do because that equipment is why those other carriers have such awful networks".. ie, if the phone sucks, that reflects poorly on the carrier. Right?
It would be nice if someone who would let their phones run J2ME and other open things, would build out a network like Verizon has - but they don't care about the quality of service like Verizon does.
Although it was a fairly big explosion, some 1500+ feet of the mountain were completely blown off. It's probably not likely to be anywhere near that big of a boom again.. also, even though it was a pretty large boom, only something like 57 people died as a result of it..
*numbers may be a little fuzzy
I was just researching the whole thing on Friday,when I saw this article come up on Fark.. was trying to explain to a coworker of mine (who was born in 1981, in South Africa.. so had never heard of Helen) the whole thing..
Nader doesn't have enough support to get ON the ballot in MOST states, and the Republicans have been petitioning those states FOR him.
They know that his presence on the ballot only helps the Republicans.
And, his support is waning so badly, that he doesn't even have a snowball's chance in Hell of getting on the ballot in more than 2 or 3 states without their help.
The Democrats aren't specifically trying to keep him off -- if he had a legitimate amount of support to be ON the ballot, then I don't think they'd blow a nut about it. But, in MI and CA and several other states, the Republicans have specifically put Nader on the ballot, though he wouldn't have qualified on his own.
I agree both parties suck, but it's not a case of the Dems are TRYING to get him off the ballot in a shady fashion, as that the Repubs are trying to get him ON the ballot in a shady fashion
After the SC rules that he must not be put on the ballot for at least two different reasons, Jeb goes and replaces people on his Court, so that they will fix the decision his way.
Good going, the good ole' boys still know how to rig it up!
My Tandy Sensation 2, a 486sx/33 expanded to 40MB RAM, with a pair of 100Mbit NICs, and the original 540Mb hard drive handles routing just fine, using kernel 2.0.34 (yes, I'm aware there are upgrades available, but i'm not going to muck with a single floppy distribution that works mostly flawlessly), and also does database and email services.
Then again, it probably consumes ten times as much power as a more modern device to do these sorts of things.. but.. I can't see putting money into it, since it does work just fine.
It handles a normal load of 5 computers, and also has a wireless segment attached to it, for which there's normally a couple computers attached to that, and when there's lots of people over, we'll get 10-12 people routing through that box all at once.

the address is good, though a lot of email servers will refuse to send to it, since it is a dynamic host. *shrug*
if not, ekdikeo4@yahoo.com works too..

Well, I tried that, but Firefox crashes. all. the. time. Every click. Seg fault.
*shrug* Not worth my time to figure it out, I want a computer that works, and that's why I use Linux.

unstable. as. hell.
Crashed the whole machine my webserver runs on, Mozilla 1.6, Fedora Core 2
Locked my X server on Mozilla 1.7, requiring me to go to console and kill the X server
Opera stared at it funny and said "What?" and rendered squat.

ah yes, I was just complaining about this sort of thing on Fark..
Here's what I normally have open on my computer:
gaim, sylpheed-claws, wine pokerstars, opera
running under KDE, on a 600MHz computer with 128MB ram.
The machine is perfectly useable, with barely a second of lag time, even switching desktops/to swapped out programs.
Replace Opera with Mozilla.
Whole system becomes completely unusably slow.
Updating Mozilla to latest daily snapshot helped somewhat - as long as I keep it to less than 2 windows, the computer is useable, but very slow.
if only I could get plugins to work right in Opera.. sigh.
You see, something's going to happen. You must leave.
What? What's going to happen?
Something wonderful.
My roommate's lesbian girlfriend wants to clean our house.
:D
That should be awesome!
Especially since the lesbian friend's girlfriend is bi- and wants me. yay!
ah, yes, and after reading much more of the thread, it appears that there are states that do allow formerly convicted felons to vote, and there are states that do not allow this to happen.
So, it's part of the voting rules, which are delegated to the states. And, as they are delegated to the states, I really have nowhere to argue that it should be something done across the nation.
Not so sure about that - They are doing something known to be incredibly stupid, knowing that it's incredibly stupid, and doing it for science.

There's lots of partisan crap on this thread.
I want to attempt to put an end to it.
Admit, if you will, that there was a controversy regarding our last presidential election, some of it's methods, and it's results.
Therefore, why WOULDN'T an independant body be appropriate to looking into it?
Yeah.. we sure did get rid of chemical and biological weapons. We gave them to Saddam, to use on the Kurds. Good job, Mr. Quayle. :D
Righty's in Left, and Lefty's in right...
er.. yeah.. why AREN'T those who are out of prison eligible to vote?
:D
oh, i bet the republicans would be really against that.
As the article says, there are good points and bad points for everything.
.. ie, if the phone sucks, that reflects poorly on the carrier. Right?

If I'm not mistaken, there were a flurry of patches to WineX in CVS since the release of the game to address some of the color issues..
I really don't think I'll be able to test this, as all I have is a P3/600, with a Radeon 7500 PCI. *laugh*
I'm surprised the grammar spelling and typo Nazis haven't jumped ALL over this post.
Xbox 2 will probably the 'normal' USB standard
indeed. Very bad. Very bad grammar, incorrect use of '''s, missing word, blah blah blah
