I hate Microsoft as much as the next guy, but my comment has nothing to do with that. Nor am I talking on the quality of KEXP.
Allen owns KEXP, which is part of the Experience Music Project museum here in Seattle. EMP is in financial trouble and Allen doesn't subsidize losing businesses, he is a business man after all. EMP is a pet project of his, so he may be a little more forgiving, but all I'm saying is Allen is not a charity. If EMP/KEXP starts costing Allen too much money, they too will change, and not for the better.
It's called a restraining rail. Restraining rails are used in critical areas, places like bridges and tight curves. It helps prevent derailments. Notice in the picture just before the one you mention that this section is located at a platform. Wouldn't want the train to derail here and plow across the platform.
People who buy GIFT cards rarely buy them for themselves. If I receive a gift card from someone, I didn't buy it. Therefore, I didn't consent to any restrictions. Where is my protection?
"...any site running the software developed by GmbH."
MediaBeam is the name of the company, not GmbH. GmbH (Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter Haftung) translates to "company with limited liability", just like here in the US where we use Inc. or LLC after the company name.
None of the media has mentioned that Rob Glaser, Real CEO, is a part owner of the Seattle Mariners. So his company gets an exclusive contract with MLB and he's one of the owners!
"Visual" C++, "Visual" Basic, "Visual"Python - except none of them are. I wish these vendors would stop slapping the "visual" moniker on every programming environment that allows you to move GUI widgets around. The underlying code is not visual, it's textual. For true visual programming, you have to use something like LabView or Prograph.
Oh, that's real user friendly. After about the 500th click that day, I end up developing a crick in my neck having to look at the mouse each time I click it to make sure that the LED blinked.
mysql also had a tendency to mangle my text fields (trailing whitespace would vanish mysteriously from variable-char fields), I don't know if that's fixed yet or not.
Here is the relevant explanation from the MySQL reference:
VARCHAR(M) [BINARY] A variable-length string. Note: Trailing spaces are removed when the value is stored (this differs from the ANSI SQL specification). The range of M is 1 to 255 characters.
MySQL is coded for speed. If you want trailing spaces, use the CHAR type.
Dude, I'm sitting here with a Mac on one side and a KDE 1.90 interface on the other, and the Mac menus behave exactly like the menus in every other interface in the world: if you highlight a submenu title by moving the mouse over it, the submenu pops up. It doesn't go away unless you highlight another menu item or close the menu. This is not special.
He said diagonal. If you don't thread your cursor through the right arrow that leads to the submenu, the submenu and most times the main menu goes away. So then you have to pull the menu down again and navigate to the submenu. This causes the user to slow down when selecting submenus for fear of losing the menu. On the Mac, once the submenu pops up, I can go diagonally to the item in the submenu that I want, not to the right and then down.
For an example with a screen shot, take a look here.
The big Java book (Industrial Strength Java) was the best thing on the market when I was looking for Java books. Every other book out there at the time showed how to write a hello world application. Industrial Strength showed how to write threaded servers.

Microsoft's 15 point loss is not mathematically connected to NASDAQ's losses. Microsoft is traded on the Dow.

You do know, don't you, that KEXP is owned by Paul Allen?

Just what does PureMessaging do? The website has no description of just what is so great about PureMessaging.
And if it's so great, why do you use 'NO@SPAM' in your PureMessaging email address? Anybody can do that without signing up for your service.
Except, Gladiator was a very good movie and deserved to win as much as the other nominees.

A German site has these dimensions: 13.3 cm x 9.5 cm x 3.2 cm, weight 290 g. By contrast, the iPod is 10.2 cm x 6.1 cm x 1.9 cm, weight 185g.
They are just forcing the use of a MSN email account.
That's because QWest customers become MSN customers, unless you switch to some other ISP.

Inside.com recently had a decent article about CMS pros and cons, but I can't find it. Anyone got the URL?
Don't know about the Inside.com article, but CamWorld has a CMS comparison table.
