I have a canon ixus 50 (which I'm very pleased with, works perfect in linux, long battery time and apparently the best compact camera according to many tests) but I didn't buy it because of the megapixel thing, that's not interesting at all.. personally, I use my photos to show friends etc over the net like any other person, but never prints em on a printer, I just don't see the reason myself. I use a digital album over a analogue one any day.
So here's the thing, I find myself very often to take pictures on the lowest resolution setting (640x480) just because I don't want to post-process the files afterwards, makeing it perfect to publish on the web without friends complaining "it's too big!". And no, I don't even wanna run a script to imagemagick them down for me...
When taking more "important" pictures which I know I will edit, of course I turn it up to somewhere like 1600x1200 even if it supports som rediculus resolution like 2592x1944....
It's more important that the images I do take becomes sharp and with good colours. I know my camera isn't the best for dark photography because it (as a compact camera it is) has much noise then.
... i sometimes work at homes there the residents just happens to be gay, and all I have to say that they are much nicer people than the avarage hetero I meet up with.. maybe they're trying more than others to make a good impression but that's the view I've got (and spare me the jokes, they're not hitting on me).
And I believe that people can (and should be able to) do whatever they want with their lives.
So this kind of "news" bothers me, because nobody should really care at all.
I'm hetero btw, just to make that clear. I don't like homosexuality very much but I believe strongly in what I wrote above.
I have a problem with that.,.

..being that I cannot actually remember ANY song lyrics in the world. Take the simplest child song you have and I'll mess it up when I'll try to repeat it, so this is really bad news for me.
The good news for me is that I can remember hard facts tho, and second best thing is that I'm actually a retired computer programmer, now working with craft..
It goes the same for quotes, even if I love movie quotes, I always mess them up.
Except if just want to turn off zbuffer, when you draw transperant objects, you want to draw them back to front, because the end result will be errorous if you don't.
Perhaps there are other tasks, but that's the most common I suppose, and the one effect I've been using while coding 3d..
First people complain about win95/98 is just ontop DOS (which is a CLI, yet worthless as it is) and then people complain then they get one again (still not usable enough for the beta testers)...
Oh the windows bashing. Why not just set the record straight, windows costs money, linux is free, choose. The last one sounds like my option.
You know, I'd love that to happen, but firefox has its own ways with javascript as well as for instance IE and opera has. I've coded a lot of javascript lately and allthough I can do everything I want with firefox without irritating bugs like in IE (where they SAY they support something, the code works but produces nothing, in my case createRegion().text), firefox is not complete.
But I'd love to see javascript go through the same treatment, you can do a LOT of nice things with javascript, not just annoying popups which people think is the only support in it...
" So... the test was designed to see if a browser can use some weird code that most web designers would never use, and could (in this case) easily be done with an image tag? I don't see the point."
The problem is that you might want to use them, but you can't, since only 3/5 major browsers support the option. Also, it's easy to say you are up to the standars, another thing to actually be.
I'm a user of CSS, but I still have to check all kinds of browsers to see if it does what I want, which is taking time and time is money.
To just solve this example with including an image would of course be suitable, but how about a whole site? Text is so much more practical, just by being able to copy it. The webpage would eat up much more memory dealing with images too.
We have the same problem with javascript, only that is 10 times more disturbing because if javascript was actually the same all other the place web surfing could be enhanced so much. The only reason people don't like javascript is because the popups, and that's not everything in javascript.
Acid2 is a friggin good one, perhaps people will get up their eyes for it and see for themselfs, I just hope the same goes on for javascript and html too...

He stated this in a article or comment which was submitted to slashdot about a week ago (don't have the time to look that up) so this is fairly news...
Also, this is perhaps not the only reason he's switching but it seems valid.
Back in school (10 years ago) I heard about an american man who had computerized his whole home with a C64 and lots and lots of gadgets.
One oncluded the cat feeder, where the cat pulled a lever with his foot, and a cat-cracker came out. Unfortunatly, the cat got too fat he figured so he made it so that he needed to push 1time the first, 2 for the next, third times for the fird etc and resetted the value at sertain intervals.
He had automated watering etc too, this was just one small part.
If I find an application worth using, it seldom has to do with the UI in itself. Tabbed browing as an example is nice, but if that ment that I would have a list widget to the left instead, that would work as good for me, maybe even better when you think of what you can do with it.
Unified GUI's are just another way of saying "we're not like them". But we are not like the others, and that's why linux is good to begin with. I think people are trying to figure out ways so that linux will be more popular amongst windows users, but I don't think it has anything to do with the GUI.
Let GUI's evolve and the featureset and usability will gain from it, with KDE and Gnome everything kinda looks the same anyway.
And if you're developing OSS for windows only, yeah, have it your way, because then I don't really care.

, but I have yet to read a blog rather than stumbling upon one by mistake, I just don't find diary's that interesting I suppose.
I use (php) html with javascript which makes reloads automaticly, if I made my whole site this way, I could easily update all content if I'd like.
And no, it will not replace anything.
I'd like that - just do 2 pieces of equipment - a headphone MP3 player, and a bluetooth wristwatch for control..
Both extremely practical and extremely geeky at the same time, oh my god, the universe will implode!

You can use labels pretty much the same way you'd do with folders.
