Seriously, I keep thinking about learning to be a bricklayer. More fun than digging ditches, and more money. It's like working with giant LEGOs - how cool is _that_?!
What's the phrase, "this will happen about the same time we're all typing in Esperanto on our Dvorak keyboards, talking about the new Flat Tax"? Yeah, sounds about right. *sigh*
It's one of two likely things, IMO - they're embarassed by how bad their wireless stuff is (and it's certainly very late - _still_ no 802.11g on the market!), and/or they're using someone else's intellectual property and don't want anyone else to find out.
Or both.
I'd doubt VERY much that their wireless stuff is soooo advanced that anyone would learn anything useful from examining it.
You're thinking of two different things. Transparency as in an 'indexed' transparent 'colour' works just fine in PNGs in IE. Alpha channel transparency, however, does not. The upshot is that PNG works just fine as a direct replacement for GIFs, including GIFs with transparency.

I'd rather be the kind of person who can actually DO work like that, than be the kind of person who wonders aloud about the type of person who does that, yet mirrors pictures of the work!:)
Anyone who's played Missile Command knows this - we need to send probe missions out in pairs. One is a big, fat, juicy-looking decoy that we send down right around the same time the _real_ mission starts entry of Mars atmosphere. The Martians go for the decoy, and our real mission lands undisturbed.
Either that or we nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
Okay, so you've got your window/display, and there's a camera on the outside showing what's going on outside.
You tap the part of the display that corresponds to the sky, and you get the weather report. Or you tap the part that is displaying the street, and you get a traffic report. You tap your neighbor's house, and it gives you their name(s), phone number(s), whatever info you have on them on your computer. Could be interesting.

Reporters backed away quickly...
Learn to dig ditches.

> Entire Population of India: Uhh..?.. Fuck you?!
Okay, that's a great example. That should be:
Entire Population of India: "Uhh? Fuck you?!"
At the very least, use the correct number of periods (three) for an elipsis. I mean, really!
Another reason to vote Nader for President! :)

Maybe he could make a LEGO(tm) Mars? :)
Hmmm...colo'd Solo! Nice.
The ability to blow up Microsoft is _insignificant_ next to the power of the Force.
Hey, all - does anyone know of any decent digital pocketwatches? I've looked all over, but found nothing... :(
You joke, but if someone actually winds up making it, those overclocking wackos _will_ pay for it.
And you don't wanna know about the Girl Scout Cookies, either.
Mmm, no idea how well that compresses PNGs. Give pngout a try and see what happens.
What are you using to create your PNGs, and have you tried compressing them with pngout or pngcrush? (pngout is better, FYI)
But yes, the smaller the file (& fewer the colours), the less likely PNG will be to be smaller than GIF. Depends on the file.

Isn't that reason _enough_? Some people may not know what they want, but just about everyone knows when they DON'T like something. Perl makes me itch.
Sounds more like a _Perl_ Harbour to me.
Don't forget the VTEC sticker!

I bet they're wishing they'd popped for that extended warranty right about now...
I say buy a whole bunch of them and release them into the wild. The aquatic equivalent of fireflys. Too awesome.
Just don't make any with frickin' laser beams, and I think we'll be just fine.

Unlike TV, you have to at least be able to READ to get much out of the Internet. :)
