  1. use CSS letter spacing! on Best Method For Foiling Email Harvesters? · · Score: 1

    Try this:
    <span style="color:#ffffff;letter-spacing:-0.038cm">a l b e r t . s a n d b e r g @ g m a i l . c o m</span>

    I also tried javascript but as a friend pointed out, there are sime code in for instance .net to create a htmlpage from any source, at least my spaces will be kept... but who knows? Maybe it's hard to do this...

    Good luck!

  5. buy a creacked one on Gran Tourismo HD Cars Sold Seperately? · · Score: 1

    I never play games on PC, I started to use linux 'cause it was free and I always bought my consoles and their games... and I have a huge dvd collection.

    But then it comes to this kind of crap, I'm positivt I'll wait until they cracked the ps3 (they did it pretty easily in the past with PS1/2) and download all my games from the big internet. This will endorse piracy even more, and if they don't get that, they will go under.

    Keep diggin that hole.

  6. Re:Returning to VI(M) on A Visual Walkthrough of New Features in Vim 7.0 · · Score: 1

    ... He also showed me the "linebreak" feature in VIM (something I didn't know about).

    After all these years, I still haven't found anything that is as efficient as VI for editing. ...


    Yet it took you about 30 years to find how to enable linebreak :-)

    Just making a joke, but I'm using kdevelop ;-) Have to start use vim some day...

  7. Re:problem right now is that linux is unknown. on Harvard Concludes Linux Will Remain Second Best · · Score: 1

    Well of course a lot of things have to change to hit that 10%... and I was speculating about the whole topic btw so just don't read it as facts :-)

    Hardware issues have been solved in the past, and now then more people are using linux, and most of them buys their hardware in respects to what actually works in linux (not at least wifi adapters) the market will have to adopt if they want to sell to the linux (etc) communities.

    So if linux is becoming bigger, corporations will watch it closely, and take action towards it. Good and bad. (bad could be spyware etc).

  8. problem right now is that linux is unknown. on Harvard Concludes Linux Will Remain Second Best · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When we (and by we, I mean the linux community) hit a larger portion of user base, say 10% of desktop market (if that will ever happen) linux is going to be well known, and I don't mean that just by the name, but people will actually from time to time use a computer that has linux installed.

    Then and not until then will my mother think "why do I need this windows for anyway?" and might try linux out on the home computer. Then the kids start getting used to it (from home, school and most important, friends) and the adoption to linux REALLY hits, because no household will pay $$$ for an operating system if they know one that's usable for free. Not to mention the applications.

    Alongside, user friendly distros such as ubuntu, mandriva and feodora will grow even easier to use (as a matter of fact, I think ubuntu is easier (and faster) to install than windows XP or 2000).

  9. Re:Hm... on Cleaning Electronics with Sugar · · Score: 4, Informative

    Isn't sugar also small enough to slip through any holes on the product though? I wouldn't want bits in my electronics rattling about.

    I suppose this is why he uses tape to cover other parts than the ones he's cleaning

  15. paid by risk on Worst Tech CEOs Earn the Most Money · · Score: 1

    If you were a kick ass person who can do miracles with company managment, you would request a pretty high salary for the risk of losing your reputation by saving a poor company (which would be close to impossible, too).

    Sometimes being a ceo for a certain company puts you infront of the public eye too, losing your private life etc, which cannot be paid good enough I suppose...

    Then there are crappy ceo's too which fails far to often and still are too well paid, but that's nothing new is it? :)

  18. next big thing(tm) on Lens That Writes on Both HD-DVD and Blu-Ray · · Score: 0

    HD-DVD and blueray was both developed because both competing companies was trying to create the next big thing(tm) to make some serious profits on the formats. whatever format gets hooked by the audience, that creator is going to earn some serious buckaroids.

    it's the same thing in the console war going on now, xbox 360 came out I don't know how much earlier than the others (ps3 and wii) just because this reason, they want users to quickly adapt so they will get hooked onto one system, when their friends get the games for it, so they can switch and trade.

    it's all in the money, as usual, I rather just wait, I don't care who gets the buckaroids as far as I get quality for my money, the only thing is that I rather spend $10 than $20 on a product that differs 1% quality, or whatever, so whoever the cheapest in the long run will win...

    seriously, I can't be more bored than listening to this vs war.

    well you see I have a home cinema projector and rgb cables from dvd to projector and to get dolby digital sound I hava a digital coax to my stereo, I just don't trade in my dvd for a $50 one that might skip the DRM but has crappy audiovisual quality I'm afraid.

    I purchase a LOT of dvd movies. these has DRM content such as the fbi warning and sometimes trailers or just film studio propaganda which is non-skippable on my sony dvd player (otherwise very nice)... what's up with that? we have to first buy the content, then HAVE to watch crap like that?

    yes I do understand that if I copy this disc I just bought I will get into trouble, yes, I known this since vhs cassettes in my youth thank you very much

    that will probably never change, but I think dvd player fabricants should enable skip option on content you paid for...
