I do my bloody work online and use up lots of bw. I would have prefered to download xxx instead. Who are we (you) to decide whether work or porn better to clogh bw?
The first thing I tought of was used car sales. Like many other/. readers But as one wrote that it was illeagal to re-sell software in Japan and its reason to be the creation, effort being sold, I thought of artists and then in a wider perspective school teachers, free software etc. Internet as the vehicle is damaging, too. Hey! Where do we stop? Where do we draw the line?
This causes Netscape act weird.
Java is still a pain in the neck for Netscape browser. I use Netscape Composer but more and more I find myself using IE for browsing.
One more thing. I started blocking the advertisements by puting the advertisement sites in my hosts file and refering them to 127.blah. IE works fine with it, but Netscape has slowed down a lot since then.

Although theoretically it is off topic, which I stated in the subject line, it is very much relevant. You didn't need to mod it down.

I wish I could mod you up. Maybe CmdrTaco and Co. would have seen it better.:-) But because of a 'troll' (yes I eat human), I won't get a chance for sometime.
Add a fan controller circuitry with a temperature sensor. User control input(s) is possible (other than the switch suggested in the text). In USA, this would be a patent for sure.
USB in general came in very promissing. But I think the expectations were too high and even though it fulfilled many of them, USB has not reached the peak, yet. Looks like the USB specs need to be improved. However, to see this kind of products gives me hope about USB.
This is BS till it is proven useful and cheap.

The product talks about the idea, which sounds fine. But the 'key strokes' need to be sensed correctly at a very very very high rate and the device needs to be implemented in a cheap way. Otherwise it is dead!
Aggresive retaliation, like burning down Kabul (since we 'know!' that it was done by Bin Laden, and we don't even need an evidence) is not a solution. I am sure US is capable of doing it, but it is not going to remove the terrorists or the responsible ones from the society, but it will kill more civilians and will make the remaining ones hate US. Isn't it the same thing, which made us angry and filled with hate yesterday?
I don't think most of the comments on/. was coward and I don't think people said 'let's move on without doing anything'. Of course the terrorists want to scare us, mess with our lives. And they did it. However, I still can not see how fighting back in the same way the terrorists did, would help anybody? Why do we have international laws? Why do we have or fighting for a justice system at all? Something happens, and respond with the same cruelity! Isn't it a part of the fundamentalist islamic social system, that many criticize? Isn't it the capital punishment, which doesn't work at all. If you kill, as the state I kill you and this will stop any wrong doing and correct everything. Does it stop? Does it correct?
Be very careful with what you read on the media about it! Of course, there will be suspects and because of the bias and prejudies, they will be Middle Easterners and/or Muslims. But the evidence found like Quran, fuel consuption calculator etc. can not be considered as serious. Since when is a text, which is considered as holly by a community, is an evidence? Fuel consuption calculator? What kind of a terrorist group, which arranges well planned attacks, would leave such a trace. Another source (I think Boston Globe, but not sure) wrote that in the rental car of the 5 Arab 'suspects' (one of them trained pilot), a pilot training manual was found. Give me a break! So just blowing WTC with a huge passanger plane, the trained pilot will go over the training manual! Also one should always remember such 'evidence' (if any) would be left behind only to distract! For more info, see the tactics of previuos terror attacs.
When I first heard the news in the morning and right after that saw the second plane crashing into the building at washingtonpost.com, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Sad, very sad...
How could someone even think of doing such a terrible thing?!
But I am also having hard time understanding, why people here ask the question: 'How could this happen here in US?' Why not? US may be the biggest power in terms of arms, air force, navy etc., but why is it is normal somebody in a second world country has to live with random explosions and somebody in a third world country under constant terror? I think we have reached today by 'normal'izing this terror in the countries far far away and considering it no different than an action in a Hollywood movie.

Considering how well read he is, and how little a CS degree means in consulting, he should just lie about college on his resume.
Well CS degree may really mean little in consulting, but 'lie' is not a good degree. If not at all, look at the former Notre Dame football coach.
Give me a break. you are really not serious
about Discovery channel, right?!

When the market is so tight and the economy is so down... It also sounds legitimate to me from comsumer point of view.
