ok, mr. steven ball obviously knows nothing about cameras, because he thinks that if you put the camera as close as you can, you'll get a big, clear picture. sorry, but unless you have a macro function on ur digicam, you won't be able to get a focused picture while you're less than a foot or two away from the subject. get one with macro, or better yet, buy a canon d30 and a cheap sigma macro lens... then you'll be able to get pictures like these.
Netscape would have been better served by enhancing the Mozilla preject in the key areas it is lacking (speed, bugs) rather than adding tons of useless marketing features.
Have you ever thought about who Netscape was made for? Just like in every English class, you have to consider your audience, but user in this case. Let's say that you have a copy of Notepad and a copy of Arachnophilia or other better text HTML editor. Now, would you be giving Arachnophilia to a comp newbie who just learned that the CD-ROM is not a cupholder? Didn't think so. You'd give them Notepad or maybe something even easier, like a text editor with huge buttons that take up 1/4 of the screen with tooltips galore.
You have to know who you're developing/coding for. Evidently, Netscape was developed for an obviously less computer-literate audience. Mozilla was developed for/.-type people. Use the Milestones, and stay away from Netscape if you don't like it. Better yet, get the Moz source and tailor it to your tastes.
Doesn't anyone go to the movies for things other than a intricate, complex plot that would satisfy any geek's craving for a fantasy Mars? I mean, come on, people. Maybe it's just the Slashdot community that has to have everything just perfect so that they can feel good about seeing a movie that really conveyed what they wanted to see, and not really what the director/producer intended.
I guess that since I enjoy most movies, I'm either stupid and ignorant, or I'm simply not part of the/. community.
Flame me all you want, but at least my panties aren't in a bunch...
who really cares about standards compliance? i know that everybody should follow roughly the same guidelines as other browsers, but to tell you the truth, what significant difference does it make if you're viewing webpages that have flash in them now? even if they have CSS and DHTML, there isn't too much lost if you don't have those two. if you DO lose too much if you don't have those two, then that web developer isn't making wise choices on compatability.
i'm not completely discounting standards compliance, but if everybody did the same thing, we'd all have identical browsers, and where's the fun in that? oh wait, i forgot about the whole speed of the program thing. oh well.
I misunderstood my first comment, and I think that there probably are not enough buttons for most multiplayer gaming situations. Especially in HL:Counterstrike, I think that the communication aspect is important, so a keyboard would work much better in this case. By the way, what happened to the microsoft natural keyboard? How come I don't see any more of those?
But isn't it similar to using a second mouse? I don't see how this is much different from using two mice other than the improvement that there are more buttons. If the Claw is so much better, why not buy two and use two of them instead of the mouse? Another concern is how if you roll the claw to the extent of your arm, how do you pick it up to move it back in the air to go forward again? (same situation as using the mouse to move forward in Quake)
Hey now, before the world get destroyed, I'm stocking up on my bottled beef and corned water. Just to be sure, I'll be sure to have a whole lot of canned beans and miscellaneous other non-perishable foods. I have a whole lot left over from Y2K, ahem... looks like that "end of the world" plan didn't work...
But almost all of you are talking about how great the audio would be with higher resolution. The question now is: "Can speakers that cost less than $5,000 each reproduce this super-high-fidelity sound?"
the log didn't seem to be too interesting other than poop on lawns and somewhat senseless things like that. maybe it's the geek perspective; i'm not sure. i always thought of myself as a geek, but there are obviously differing degrees of geek. hopefully it'll be better next time...
When the data itself is only to serve as information, rather than actual data, there has to be something to protect it. In the case of Lyrics.ch, they got taken over because they got big. Of course, u can do a search to find any song lyric on the net, but lyrics.ch made it that much easier. Why bother making people abide by copyright violations when you know that there are other blatantly simple ways to get that info? Time needs to be spent on more important issues, like decrypting any new music/sound standards.:p
Interoperability between the Windows and Linux versions hopefully will be good, because exchanging themes between the two versions of Sonique will hopefully be easier than exchanging themes between Winamp and XMMS.
And will the amorphous window shapes have better luck under Linux because of differences in Windows and Linux display methods? That's a question u should think about.
This will finally allow IT managers reluctant to try non-Microsoft apps to try out the stability of Linux. Although there will be problems with speed and efficiency, the overall effect will be beneficial.
Wait I take that back. Napster may or may not stay... I posted too quickly. And also, if Swapoo is gone, then that would probably set a legal precedent for Napster, or vice versa. Of course, there would be hundreds of baby Swapoos just like baby Napsters...
Is Microsoft going to claim the ASP is their own trademark, and that Active Server Pages can't exist with Application Service Providers? Then all the ASP's out there will hafta change their business functions, and the large corporation will win again. I mean, come on people... just let it go!
If you place full belief into the statistics shown on review sites, you're an idiot. Is there anyone policing these sites, ensuring that accurate fps's are shown and such? There could be some slight "editing of performace statistics." Who really knows what some of these reviewers are actually posting? The only way to really know is to go buy it. You could also compare the review sites' stats, but who the hell has the time for that?
Hey now, I live in Tampa, and these rockets better not come my way. Maybe they'll fall into the bay and create a natural coral reef as the toxic chemicals kill all natural sea life and eventually me becuase I eat fish.
Of course, Raleel. Damn. I now know I'm in full geek city. How can you guys not appreciate what's in this movie? I mean, were you expecting another Sneakers? Of course, I loved the motorcycle stunts because I do them all the time, just without bullets flying at me. Every stunt except the riding on the side of the motorcycle are pretty damn easy, and I can do them on my bicycle, too. In fact, I bet all of you guys could do them if you had a bit of practice. It's just that it's a little more unnerving at 40-50 MPH...
This is terrible. I mean, if the Internet provides such a service to the world, then why must it be silenced by the university? The Internet's purpose is to disseminate information, and Dialpad is part of this information.
I think that the university is overly greedy and needs to open their minds up a little about this, because if I offer free Internet radio on the Internet, then why doesn't the university block my website so that the students have listen to university radio???
Something needs to be done about this, because this is a clear violation of the 1st amendment.

A. Fold proteins and get nothing
B. Roll weed and get high
A & B: Fold proteins that make up cannabis!

What happens after this is gone? How come Napster can stay and these services can't?

Nearly every person I know uses Napster to download music and then burn them onto CD-R's. These are the reasons why:
1. Cable connection
2. 4x CD writing
3. $0.80 CD-R's
4. Music
5. Friends that would pay for these particular CD's
Evaluate the cost comparison:
A. $12-$15 CD at the store
B. $0.80-$1.00 of CD-R + time + possible profit from selling the CD
Which would you choose, A or B?

then again, two kiddies who can't seem to let this childish point go is the worst...
