Funny, I didn't even really understand integrals until I got my TI-89. I got to play around with them, try with lots of different examples, and after several hours of doing that, I finally caught on. I don't think I ever would have learned to do them by hand if I hadn't bought it.
What I want to know is why anyone would want to ever allow popups without menus and buttons. Both Netscape/Mozilla and Internet Explorer are guilty of this, as well as every other browser I've used I believe. Why isn't there a checkbox in the options that says something like:
Never allow any website to remove standard buttons, status bar, menu, or address bar?
I'd be more concerned someone would try to steal my eyes, and hold them up to the camera in a plastic bag, like Tom Cruise did in Minority Report. It's bad enough people want to steal my money, but if they ever implement this damn retinal scan thing, there will probably be crooks that are going to steal your eyes when they take your wallet or purse...and then steal your money at the ABM.
No, I actually like everything about it except that. I just don't like reading a long reply only to discover, damn, I aleady read that. Page 2 should be page 2. If someone replied after I read page 1 I don't really care. If I'm on page 2, I want page 2.
OK, maybe not all of you want this, but could you at least consider making this an option.
No, it's like that even when reading some article from a couple days ago, that likely no one is posting to.
I've seen quite a few message boards and none of them behave anything like this. Granted, most of them don't have the volume that this one does, but still the most overlap I've ever seen on any other message board is 2-3 messages.
Could you please make page 2 of comments actually be page 2 of the comments. I might be incredibly naive, but it seems something more like page 1.5. I don't know about the rest of you, but I always just read the odd numbered pages of comments, because like way too much stuff if repeated from the previous page on the even numbered ones.
Outlook Express starts it again even though it's disabled though.
It claims not to be started in services, but it appears in the tray. It doesn't really matter for me, you don't get ads as long as you don't give it a password to sign in. It just says Windows Messenger-not signed in.
Yeah, I know some of you thing OE is bad, but it's the best free newsreader for Windows, bar none. I wish Mozilla's was better, but the way it organizes the newsgroups is terrible, you can't tell which one is which on the left pane if they start with the same few words, like most tech groups do. Even Netscape 4.x's newsreader is better than Mozilla's.
Well, that is for unformed users that don't know anything about the Netscape name
However, for those that do: if they ever used: Netscape 4: no way they'll use this service Netscape 5: doesn't really exist Netscape 6(sorry Mozilla fans): no way they'll use this service, too slow Netscape 7(sorry Mozilla fans): no way they'll use this service, too slow
OTOH Netscape 2: Gold-no pun intended- the best browser of it's time Netscape 3: Gold-no pun intended- the best browser of it's time
Why O Why did the Mozilla/Netscape people try to build the Mozilla off of the open sourced Netscape 4.x, had they built it off of the last good Netscape, 3.x, they wouldn't have even lost the browser war...hell if they even an had made a 3.x skin for mozilla they might have even won(Classic? and Modern are ugly)
Bring back Netscape 3.x gold...w/ javascript improvements...
Now that was a nice keyboard. It just felt much better than these separate keyboards, and it was also up a bit higher from the desk because it was thicker, and it was black.
I might be in the minority here, but I find RTS games like Starcraft and Warcraft incredibly boring, now Diablo 2, I can play that for hours at a time. But why is it taking so long for them to even announce Diablo 3? This is likely what this is all about, come on, it is absolutely stupid for them to not to make a Diablo 3, (and a Starcraft 2 even though I wouldn't buy it), it would sell millions of copies, and thats just on the name alone. Now when they do make a D3, it will not be nearly as good as it would as when these guys were working for Blizzard North.
So what free GIF animation programs are due out on June 21? It's fun to play around with animations, I just always hated how these programs always had to have an expiration date. I wonder how many more GIF's we'll see all over the web in the coming months.
I can't even read my own cursive! My printing is barely legible either. Computers, yeah, that's it I can blame it on computers now, even though I'm too old. Hell Yeah!
They are sometimes amusing, and I've seen some in some educational sites that denonstrate how something works, etc. I'd say the lack of animation is why PNG is not more popular. The only thing GIF has on PNG is that, the compression stuff most people don't know about for the most part, and most people use JPEG for stuff that doesn't require animation because it has more than 256 colors.
Forget about flowers. Send a real live present that shows how much you love someone. Everyone loves kittens! A grieving widow can be consoled by a new puppy in her life! For the man who has everything, what about a white rhino for the living room? Or a miniature Pekinese fighting bitch? If it's got a central nervous system, we've got it ready to go in a box to your house
Yeah, online newspapers are nice...but... I hope they don't stop making the printed ones. I really don't want to have to bring my laptop into the bathroom...
From arcticle: "This is thought to have evolutionary origins. Male hunter-gatherers roamed far afield, creating and following mental maps to do so. Women, on the other hand, had more piecemeal maps centred on landmarks such as a homestead."
How exactly would this be evolutionary? The male hunter-gatherers had to mate with the qomen who had piecemeal maps didn't they? I'm no biologist, so I might be wrong, but this doesn't make any sense.
Why not just name it Trans-Am then? They seem to like naming it after Pontiac cars for some reason. In case some of you forgot, there was a Pontiac car named the Phoenix in the late 1970's and early 1980's. A picture of one is here: http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/1215/phoeni x.htm
I was asked today if I wanted to register my copy Word 2000 with Microsoft. I of course said no and went along with my business as it is not required for it to run. I do not have Office, just Word, actually have MS Works & Money too, it all came preinstalled, though I believe was sold as "Microsoft Works Suite 2000" or something like that. Yes, my computer is really old and slow for me to have this...I know that's what you're thinking.
Well, did you bother even doing the math? Of course no one has had Windows 2000 running for four years, it hasn't even been around for four years. There might indeed be some people with machines that have had Windows 2000 up for over four years straight when they decide to switch to openBeOS in the summer of 2004 to prepare for better Audio and Video development as you suggest.
Some people can't afford to or don't want to buy another computer. Really, a pentium 100 running Windows 95 is what most home users I know have. Mozilla/Netscape 6/7 will not run on these machines. If the newest version of IE runs at all it won't run all that well, I had a computer like this not all that long ago and IE5 really pushed it to its limits. Netscape 4 is really the best browser for these machines. It is also what my local library has, which also has older computers. And why should you need a new computer to surf the web in 2002, when it was fine to surf the web in 1996? A brand new computer with a 56k modem isn't any faster at web browsing than a Pentium 100 with a 56k modem. Really, I think what they need to do is stop changing the standards so you never have to upgrade browsers.

Why would anyone want to have 0% caffeine intake?
Seriously, if you like coffee why give up caffeine. That's like a wine connoisseur quitting drinking. It doesn't make any sense.
Is it "Hate Apple Day" again already?

LOL @ Intel Ad saying Targeting This: Pentium 4, Xeon, Itanium when it's clear we should be targeting this new processor instead.
If it can do graphics halfway descent it might make a cool gameboy.
Yeah, online newspapers are nice...but...
