I am afraid that IE does not render most Mozilla pages fine, if by these you understand the ones that use transparent PNGs, XML, iframes and parts of other standards that are currently poorly implemented in IE.
The number of such pages is a different matter altogether.
Hey, have you read it or just skimmed over? He clearly says that his beef with this sequence is not that the physics of Trinity's jump is bad, but rather that the policeman behaves incorrectly after getting kicked so high above center of the mass.
There is an excellent book called "Black Oceans" by Polish writer Jacek Dukaj that (among many other brilliant ideas) features so-called "personality managers" which let one tweak the sensory inputs as you describe it, plus much more. Here is the page for the book.
While it is a fact that eye is least sensitive to blue, the eye-brain combo IS very sensitive to this color. This is one of the reason for emergency vehicles having blue rotating lights.
Heh, this is exactly what I felt at the time. Cinemas in my city generally suck, so I've organized a trip for some 15 Star Wars addicts + 5 not-so-addicts to the closest city with multiplex, THX sound etc (3h by car) to fully enjoy something we were expecting to be a movie of the decade.
10 minutes into the movie I was sitting in disbelief, waiting for something to change. Half an hour later I was starting to worry about my safety. Since then, I've only waited for the end. And when it finally came, all my friends were just sitting there, speechless in disgust. Oh my, how stupid I felt.
Fortunately, we discovered that "The Matrix" was about to start on another screen and Neo saved the day (and my skin).
This is hardly news, as the new roadmap has been displayed on mozilla.org for at least a few weeks now.
Instead of complaining about not being able to get v1.0 faster, better take a look on tremendous improvements that have been done starting with release 0.7. I'm now using Mozilla as my primary browser, have no compaints about stability (I'm talking about the browser, mind you) and as soon as Mail module gets faster, I'll finally remove Navigator from my HD. --
Well, as long as audio is decrypted in _software_ and not in the sound card you can always patch Windows kernel to _first_ dump it to file and only _then_ look for "authenticated components in the path". --
I've been using Dell Latitude CPt S500GT running Linux for over half a year and I have mostly positive things to say about it and about Linux power management. The battery is enough for more or less 4 hours of work under both Linux and Windows. Sometimes it is a bit longer under Win, because harddrive spins down more often and for longer periods of time. There are kernel patches available to limit "kupdate" activity somewhat, but since I carry rather important stuff, I am hesitant to apply them.
About the only complaint I have about this machine is how it misbehaves when going to "standby mode" with X-Window active. Hopefully, it will go away with X4 and ACPI in the kernel, which I am preparing to switch to in the near future.
If you have any interesting experiences with Dell Latitudes and Linux, post them below. I'd love to exchange some knowledge...

So you think Yoda should use Aikido?
So these people are free to use IE.
For the same reason Microsoft is.
Well, check THIS out.

Then check out this book by her: "Thinking in Pictures : And Other Reports from My Life With Autism". It's available at Amazon.com.

Ok, I multiplied counters by 100 to get more reasonable times on Athlon1.1Ghz/143MHz SDRAM and to minimize JVM startup overhead. Results:

Here's a link to an article in NYT that has more details than the press release.

A transistor can also be used as on/off switch and that actually is its primary function in digital circuits.

You can't see jaggies, because you have a low-pass filter in your retinas, due to irregularites in their structure.

Visit http://komodo.mozilla.org/planning/branches.cgi and scroll to item 29.

44.1 instead of nice round 40 is required for low-pass filter to have some room for operation.

Well, anyone else who finds similarities between David Kahn and Lawrence Waterhouse from Cryptonomicon disturbing? Even the Navy part matches...
--
Oops, you're not. I've tried, but lameness filter is apparently too strict to allow posting this. :(

Yeah, 86%. If they are so accurate, why don't they take on Randi's challenge and win over 1M USD?

ok, how many times I told you that finally Bill G. is going to be a president?

Instead of removing the battery you could try pressing on/off button for 5 secs.
