  1. Re:Get some priorities on Google Files to Sell 14.2 Million More Shares · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    You know, flamebait and all, I'm kind of growing fond of the get-some-priorities-person. The troll keeps working too, it's amazing.

  2. Re:Does it support W3C standards? on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a great idea, if I have the time I'd love to. But one quick and dirty method is to go through http://www.quirksmode.org's list of css incompatibilities with IE 6 and see if they work. I know most don't have access to the beta, but yeah, maybe I can document.

  3. Re:Does it support W3C standards? on IE7 Bugs and Reviews · · Score: 4, Informative

    I checked out every css selector/property that I could find that I knew didn't work in IE 6. I was able to find no added support in IE7. They failed.

  4. Re:What makes you so sure? on Improving Education? · · Score: 1

    Yeah I can sympathize with poster's point, but can't empathize. I had simply an excellent public education, K-12. Inspiring and intelligent teachers in a safe, broadly multi-cultural environment.

  5. Re:Great news on New .XXX Top Level Domain · · Score: 1

    He didn't say ".intercourse". I'm pretty certain common usage of the word sex encompasses fetishes. .xxx however, is still more appropriate as it relates to pornography, rather than, say, sexual health.

    It's hard to have a ceremony for a corpse.

    Um, no it isn't. I'd say there were thousands of ceremonies for corpses just in the United States today. Funerals.

    There doesn't seem to me to be any rational reason to disqualify a person from recognition just because they are no longer living.

  7. Re:What will be the testbed? on Ask Mozilla Foundation Chief Mitchell Baker · · Score: 2, Informative

    Asa Dotzler has answered this on his blog (kind of):

    I suspect it will be called something like "the Mozilla browser testbed" or something similarly unfriendly to end users but it will essentially be Firefox.

    This is in the comments to this blog posting entitled "mozilla product futures".

    Sure they can:

    elems = document.getElementsByTagName("DIV");
    for (i=0; i<elems.length; i++) {

    if (elems[i].getAttribute("mycustomattribute") == "something") {dosomething();}
    }

  13. Re:Maybe I am being dense but.... on Inspecting MSN Search · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Also, Britney" is an indirect reference to the amusement one feels due to the relevance of Britney Spears in this story. It also serves as a masculine form of code-speech in the form of silence, the silent element which follows "Also, Britney" best interpreted as "You know what I mean? She's hot, right?"

  14. Re:How is this legal? on Human Animal Hybrid Created in Lab · · Score: 1

    Um, the reason I don't kill people or rape children is not that there are laws against doing so. . .is that what you're suggesting?

  15. Is this new on American Airlines Information Gathering · · Score: 1

    I've been asked twice when driving into Canada what hotel, name, number, etc that I was going to be staying at when going from Boston to Montreal. But of course, since we did it, it's the end of all human freedom.

  17. Re:MS Spyware removal?? on Microsoft Releases AntiSpyware Program · · Score: 1

    Yes it can, and frankly, after just using it, it allows a much broader range of control over processes, execution hooks, startup items, BHOs, ActiveX Controls, etc that I've seen in any other anti-spyware product. GIANT/MS actually did a really impressive job. It actually found things (legitimate ones) that SpyBot and AdAware had missed. It also listed Kazaa but said in effect "This isn't really spyware, but sometimes installs spyware on installation" and left the default action to "Ignore" rather than "Remove." It includes realtime protection, too, with a broad range of control over what that is doing.

    You obviously read wrong then. There are two types of claimants, and anyone who signed up between 1999 and 2004 has a claim to a portion of the settlement.
