That's silly.. just put netscape 4.8x on there to use with your bank. It'll work until the bank gives in and allows standard compliance. Or, you can use the feature of Mozilla (or Phoenix) to change the User information string sent to make it reflect Netscape 4.8x or whatever.
It might have, but when I tried it out it had no ability to detect the Intel etherexpress that was in that machine, along with a realtek in my home machine. (tried it at work and home) Makes no difference really, it's been ages ago. Even if it did have support, I'm sure that the cards it did support (if it did) are on the bargain shelf at goodwill right now.

The way I see it, the United States has sort of a 'protective ward' or 'shield' against this kind of stuff, because the USA has a 250+ year old operating system which the federal government uses. The code? Written down in the US Constitution.
And that has to be the worlds OLDEST open-source project I have ever seen.. the code is updated nearly daily!
and let's thank our lucky stars that the American government still has to at least have a facade to the public of being "for the people, of the people, by the people" and so forth and so on.
True?:) Okay.. presidential and Attorney General's activities aside, that is...
We get blood for transfusions from unpaid donors. In fact, if I remember correctly, there are actually laws against selling blood (or buying it) here.
Ahh, okay, I didn't realize there were so many blood donors. I'm going to deduce from that sentence that they spin the blood down and use the plasma.
Would people in the US really not give blood if they weren't paid for it? That's kind of scary.
People give blood in America.. but the choice is there. Actually, the selling part is mostly plasma. I don't see what is scary about it considering the current state of the economy, and the prices charged to patients when a transfusion is done... (or prices of some of the treatments made from the plasmas)
But yes.. the Red Cross accepts blood donations on a daily basis. After September 11th, they had to turn people away because they had too much blood.
You might joke about this (I don't know if your being sarcastic or not), but that type of life is very nice.
After a couple WEEKS or MONTHS of withdrawals from not having the things at your disposal, everything goes back to the natural order of things.... I've done it, and come back, and done it again.. and come back.
Although after graduating I was suprised to find that Busch was rated the most likely to be the expensive lager in a blind test by the shopping guy at MSN, they tested several including Sam Adams Heinekin and all the majors. I guess the real test will come when one of the majors starts selling an ale for $10 a case.
That flies in the face of all logic, considering the taste of Busch. There is a world of difference in the taste of Busch versus the taste of even the lowest of "major" beers like Sam Adams.
Of course I don't doubt that the taste test did have that result. It just makes me realize that there are people out there that are so braindead that they'd choose a frozen microwave dinner (cooked, in front of them) in a taste test between that and a Chili's cracked peppercorn burger.
which leads me (personally) to believe that any research done to find out what everyone wants or how they act is completely irrelevant to my tastes and wants.
I don't really have anything of value to add, but I have to agree with you... and it pertains to alot more than just advertising. It's like that with politics (at least in America), and just about everything in society.
Where do you live? You can't sell blood where I come from -- there are specifically rules against it, which is probably due to a bunch of heads rolling in the '80s when they found out a bunch of people were transfused with tainted blood -- HIV and Hep. C. At least where I come from (if not where you are) there is a perception that anybody who'd be wanting to sell blood is probably a bad risk as a donor...
Interesting... question, where does your country get the blood for transfusions? Or even the plasma for leukemia victims? (I believe they use certain parts of the plasma for leukemia patients)
When money runs short, you will do anything to put food on the table for your family. Selling plasma is not a bad thing, it helps people, and it's virtually painless. But it all boils down to the fact that sometimes you have to go against your own morals and better judgement to have your child fed during times like these.

What does that have to do with anything? Soot is particulate matter, and it disappears from the atmosphere quickly--that's all that matters as far as global warming is concerned. The fact that it sticks to your house is unfortunate, but it is irrelevant to global warming. Well, I wasn't going on the bandwagon that the author was, I was just stating what I did... global warming isn't the only thing we worry about:) Breathing is a good thing.
As I was also saying, widespread adoption of diesel wouldn't happen without soot filters on cars anyway because it's a health hazard. Yeah.. I would have figured they'd do something like that for rigs. But, that's too logical....
