I live in an English speaking county, i.e. England, and have discussed The GIMP with quite a few people. Some of them have had disabilities. The name has never once come up as a topic of interest. The only place I have ever seen it mentioned is on the internet.
I'm surprised no one's mentioned Nokia's N800, that was a fully fledged internet tablet running Maemo that was a precursor to the iPad, having much more in common with it than the tablet PCs of the time. Though it did support flash. Later firmware revisions brought a portable version of firefox and a more finger friendly UI. Though the soft keyboard always supported stylus or finger input. Mine must be about four years old now.
Netscape 6 may have been pretty bad compared to Mozilla, but it was never as bad as IE. At least it supported CSS correctly. Mind you, back then there were plenty of sites coded specifically for IE that probably looked awful in a standards compliant browser.
By 1999 Mozilla had started their milestone releases, and they had better standards support than IE. They milestones may have been pre-beta but where still stable enough to use as your day to day browser.
There were lots of Mozilla releases before IE6 came out, are you sure you're not thinking of IE5? IE6 was substandard right from the start, but it was a big step forward from IE4 which was abysmal.
There's an article in The Guardian about how the authorities asked the plane manufacturers to take part in discussions about volcanic ash safety levels but they weren't interested.
Pitivi is really easy to use. I was quite impressed how quickly I was able to put something together having no real experience of editing video. Think 15 minutes rather than half an hour. Diva looked promising at one point but that one seems to have died.
Can't you use it to script java applets? Kind of like a bridge between the applet and the webpage containing it. I've always thought that might be one of the reasons Sun allowed Netscape to rename LiveScript to JavaScript.
There's a very subtle hide link next to them, you can remove all status messages related to specific games. It went away when they redesigned recently but it seems to be back again.
How do they manage not to watch any? Flip through the Satellite & Digital services and you see loads of BBC programmes. They seem filled with the repeats people use to complain about fifteen years ago.
I wonder what happened to that public archive of all their content they mooted a few years back, to be shared over a P2P system. iPlayer seems a pretty small step in that direction.
Surely if they did the initial filtering using squirrels they could get the list down to a more manageable size. They must be able to transfer a few from other projects.
Obtree (renamed Livelink WCM) was a bit like this. Templates were entered as a nested tree of objects with fragments of XML/HTML. Server side scripting was based around Mozilla's Spidermonkey engine with some additional libraries for database access etc.
Users used a GUI editor with administrator defined styles that were stored as XML objects in the database.
The main problems: it was closed source enterprise product with a price tag to match; the company that made it got taken over and now the product is at "end of life" to be replaced by something from a different bought in company; the authoring side could be buggy. It less us do a pure CSS design back in 2003 though, whereas a lot of CMS back then seemed to force you down a table design route.
LBP was a game made for game makers, not people who just want to get lost in a fantasy.
Are you sure you've actually played it? The game is excellent, full of constant surprises and an excellent multiplayer experience. We've played it a lot and the only person to really touch the level creation side of things is our five year old son.
Very clever, but the issue is the same as always: getting to that third step. What you're describing is a way of getting around noexec. You still can't run that automatically without some kind of local access.
It's not harmful to children. Lots of children see their mothers breastfeeding their siblings while growing up. That's simply the reality, children are far more likely to see mothers breastfeeding than anyone else. Thinking that is weird or somehow wrong is the real perversion.
Where does all this US loathing of the French come from? Perhaps you should send back the statue of liberty to teach them a lesson.
We've always had a reputation for hating the French but I've never seen the foaming at the mouth loathing shown by quite a few Americans, despite the UK having been involved in quite a few wars against the French. Including a little spat that ended in 1776.
I think the difference this time is that higher resolutions have a much higher production cost associated with them. And there is only so much money you can make by targeting high end PC users, most of the money is in the mid range which are on a par with the consoles.
Given the kind of PCs that are sold on the high street, for most people a console will look like an upgrade in terms of gaming. Of course you'd have to drag them away from WoW first.
That's a perfect example of why that horrible "Climate Change" phrase was introduced, people getting confused about what global warming means. It just means more energy is introduced into the system. So when it's warm it's warmer, and when it's cold it's colder.
Well couldn't it be disproved with a number of observations over a long period of time? Keep observing life on Earth and looks for observations that don't match the theory. Using the same mechanism through which scientific theories are normally disproved.
Just like with physics *cough* string theory *cough*. Saying that biology is unscientific is a bit of a stretch considering how much modern medicine is based on these theories. I also have more of a physicist bias, but can still see the scientific underpinnings of biology.

Same issue here but Linux PC(+netbook) with PS3 for gaming needs. And unless there's a big explosion in Linux gaming it's likely to stay that way.

So when IE6 was released in 2001 it was already behind in standards support yet they still allowed it to stagnate.

No sister, no daughter, and if you think my mom is hot, then there's something -really- wrong with you.
He said wife, not mom. You have issues ;-)
Not just the circles you move in but also the country you live in, those sound like pretty North American centric literary circles.

They said Metal Gear Solid 4 was going to be PS3 exclusive - guess what bucko? 360's about to get it.
Are you porting it in your spare time?
Which they have already used to threaten open source projects. Not terribly defensive.

Super Stardust HD is pretty much Asteroids HD. Have you tried that one?
