Don't forget Google Answers either. It's easily missed since it's in beta, but not at the Google Labs.

Looks the same in IE6, Mozilla 1.1, and Opera 7 beta 2. It took all of 15 seconds to test...
To me, it took 15 secs to see it did not look very nice at all. Barely readable. No line spacing. Actually... Negative line spacing. I'm not lying to you. Perhaps it's a bug since after Moz 1.1 was released? I have no clue how Opera acts, just commenting on my problem.
"Support for nearly all platform (Windows 32-bit, Unix, GNU/Linux, Macintosh, Amiga, BeOS, NextStep, OpenStep, Rhapsody and OS/2)"
But it's these kind of things that become vaporware, isn't it? Sure - they have an alpha client done, but I see far too often such ambitious projects like this one stopping at alpha/beta stage.
Anyone, I visit the site now and then. One can hope they get something more to show off than what's essentially a "technology preview"
Since you took the time to slam IE, you could have bothered to look at the HTML and noticed that the page author coded browser-specific CSS.
Ok, take a pick:
1. Blind author. 2. Not exactly browser-specific after all, at least not "specific" to Mozilla.
I mean, he couldn't possible have missed that the page looks like shit on Netscape browsers if he saw the results. Or perhaps it's Netscape 4.x-specific...:-P
If he only followed standards, he wouldn't even *need* to write browser-specific code. It would work on both IE5+ and Mozilla.
Anyway, this is getting off-topic if it wasn't already.
That site seem to have been made for IE's poor understanding of CSS rules.:-(
Readable on Phoenix, but it looks awful, and it would be surprising if Mozilla was wrong here, with IE being the browser that hasn't had any major improvements to the parser for years.
Yeah, I guess it's a bit agressive, but hardly a crime. They come up with all sorts of weight watching schemes these days and I suppose cereal killing is just one in the crowd. And just like many other such schemes, this proves that method doesn't work very well, since he suddenly stopped.
Heey, it's not cheating, it's all according to the rules! Sure, the rules might be broken here and there *ahem*, but this is only using your game experience to SMITE ALL EVIL. Mwahahah!:-D
.NET the "language" is an intermediate language bytecode called IL (Intermediate Language). (...).NET the framework also contains the system class, which exposes all of the available platform functionality.
.NET is the platform and more like the "thinking". There's no ".NET, the language", since.NET is just a concept. There's no ".NET, the framework" either; its title is simply ".NET Framework".
Microsoft describes what.NET is:
".NET is the Microsoft solution for XML Web services, the next generation of software that connects our world of information, devices, and people in a unified, personalized way..NET technology enables the creation and use of XML-based applications, processes, and Web sites as services that share and combine information and functionality with each other by design, on any platform or smart device, to provide tailored solutions for organizations and individual people..NET is a comprehensive family of products, built on industry and Internet standards, that provide for each aspect of developing (tools), managing (servers), using (building block services and smart clients) and experiencing (rich user experiences) XML Web services..NET will become part of the Microsoft applications, tools, and servers you already use today--as well as new products that extend XML Web service capabilities to all of your business needs."
There's nothing more to it than that, really --.NET is Microsoft's platform that directly supports and allow creation of XML-based applications and web services. Also read this, it might clear things up.
I can't think of one person that willingly pays for Windows when there's an easy way to get around it... Especially if it becomes a well-known fact that you can just reformat the computers and install Windows among less experienced users.
Of course the users doesn't care what that does to Microsoft, their top priority is their wallet. What that computer package cost, just like they always did.
These are cars that can be remotely re-tuned during a race. From a tech perspective its amazing.
... And they use Intel Pentium III Processors <insert intel inside theme here>
Ughh... I'm getting brainwashed by that commercial at the F1 2002 races.:-P I even think the commercial is stupid enough to market their Pentium III processor.
If you are a true MOM fanatic you know that playing with chaos and using flamestrike is cheating! =)
Hehe...
I personally enjoy picking all Life Magic and that leader ability to make all trained units one level higher than normal. Then you cast Crusade or whatever it was (the global enchantment to *further* increase the levels of all your units one more).
Then destroy the AI with Champion Halfling Slingers or Champion Javelineers. Mwahaha:-)
Torin the Chosen can also become quite powerful at high levels and good custom equipment through the item creation spell.
Aah, the memories.;-) It's definitely better than the MOO games. hehe
"Lexmark claims that Static Control violated the DMCA by selling its Smartek chips to companies that refill toner cartridges and undercut Lexmark's prices."
So I suppose the chips had code to refill the cartridges which in turn pissed off Lexmark.
This is true, but one can't deny that if we find out that oxygen and water is relatively common, that would still mean a lot, since our own planet proves that these elements are vital for at least one kind of ecosystem.
And even if you get frustrated easily, that doesn't mean you have to show it in your post.:-)
"That is a far better patent than, for instance, tabbed window interfaces."
I'll remember that quote when we manage to manipulate DNA enough to create the first mozilla's to walk on our earth. I'll tell a mozilla to "Get Mr Andrews" and *then* ask you if tabbed windows interfaces aren't useful. Mwahahaha!
I find that a bad way to put it, and it doesn't reflect his opinions very well either. I'd put his thoughts this way:
As *soon* as Linux give him a reason to go through the hassle of installing and learning a new OS environment, he'd easily do that and (quote) "unlike two years ago, I can see it potentially occuring today".
So he's definitely not telling us open source operating systems aren't "worthy competitors", but more like closer to make the Windows user base switch than ever due to the "attidue, lying and marketing BS" of Microsoft.
Slashdot Mirror
What does this tell of the lifestyle of /.-ers? :-)
:-)
.....
..ass bigntime. What is next? Universal TV remotes?
Hmm... Anyway, I think I got the message, thanks for your comparisons.
I wouldn't be surprised...
If universal tv remote manufacturers are next on the list to be hit by the DMCA
Universal Remotes
Well I guess Universal remotes are next.
This sux
Is the DMCA retroactive?
-snip- I guess the next thing on the list is el-cheapo TV remotes being removed from the market
What's next?
Banning universal TV remote controls?
Does this make my palm pilot illegial?
I can use my palm pilot as a TV remote, is this illegial too now?
This is the nail in the coffin, I guess:

Let's hope it turns out to be as fun to play as it looks, and that it becomes well-known enough.

The analogy might be more like a cereal killer who mysteriously stops after a few crimes
How is it a crime to kill cereal?
Yeah, I guess it's a bit agressive, but hardly a crime. They come up with all sorts of weight watching schemes these days and I suppose cereal killing is just one in the crowd. And just like many other such schemes, this proves that method doesn't work very well, since he suddenly stopped.
Even *that* site was cancelled.

Wow, this knowledge will further perfect my Halfling Slinger strategies. :-) And yes, it's their numbers that make the slingers great. hehe
Hmm.. If I only could get this game to work on XP *with* sound. Grr
Talk about cheating.

and contains nude buttons
Regardless how hard I'm trying, I can't figure out how a "nude button" would look like? Hmm... A button with no text inside? A button without a frame?
Grr... Sorry... I meant the link in the parent I was replying to. :-P The last one, to be precise. ;-)
I don't know where you found this.
:-)
Hmm... Try looking at the page linked to in the article.
"That is a far better patent than, for instance, tabbed window interfaces."

Ok, let's see how to copy a file...
v e1:> File fDest = new File("test2.txt");
System.LocalDrives.Drive1:> copy test.txt test2.txt
copy: Unknown namespace
System.LocalDrives.Drive1:> System.IO.Copy("test.txt", "test2.txt");
System.IO.Copy: Type mismatch at parameter 1: expecting System.IO.File
System.LocalDrives.Drive1:> using System.IO;
System.LocalDrives.Drive1:> File fSource = GetLocalFile("test.txt");
System.LocalDrives.Dri
System.LocalDrives.Drive1:> Copy(fSource, fDest);
Wohoo, I did it!
Another proof comes from that site:

You can download the huge current tree in standard gzipped tar format, but be warned: it's about a megabyte right now.
IIRC, Microsoft didn't warn us explicitly before downloading the 100 Mb Service Pack for Windows XP.
