    If you don't mind keeping it on your site for a short while, I am going to use your excellent example as the proof of concept for explaining the idea.

    Sure, I'm not that strapped for space.

    ps. there are multiple Body tags in there ;)

    Well, that's what you get for copy-pasting and not validating your code...

  2. Re:The CD o' Doom on IE7 Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    Add Microsoft Antispyware, Spybot search and destroy, HijackThis and this script on the disk. And maybe some tools against specific malware, like CWShredder.

    Sorry, the comments on the script are in Finnish, but the script deletes all users' personal temp-directories, temporary internet files, temp dirs under the system directory and Opera's temporary files. One flaw in the script is that it assumes the system is installecd on c:\. And I could add Firefox's and Mozilla's temp dirs on it as well.

    Learn to use HijackThis and the system explorers and hijack restore in MS antispyware. About:blank is not a good choice for start page, because apparently that can be redirected to a page containing more exploits.

    And remember to activate only one product's real time protection.

    How about this: http://koti.mbnet.fi/wheany/phish/

    Hover over the colored letters. Works in Opera and Firefox. You could add some kind of "Do not warn about this domain ever again" to the UI.

    Probably not, but alpha-blended pngs can be used to make pretty things.

    So they are not as much editors as they are approvers.

    I don't know much about computers.

    Do the math, 1 million games sold at 50 bucks, or 5 million sold at 20-30 dollars, which generates more profit?

    It depends on the development and other costs.

  10. Landscape oriented display in future NGages? on N-Gage Here To Stay? · · Score: 1

    Nokia has revealed that in the future, Series 60 phones will not be restriced to the portrait orientation and low resolution of current phones. They will use vector graphics in their GUI to achieve resolution independence.

    I'm pretty sure that a major factor for this decision was to get a more traditional display to the NGage.

    Where would /etc be on a Windows machine?

  12. Re:Easy. on In Which OS Do You Feel More Productive? · · Score: 1

    Probably because you have no used Windows very much. Or administrated a computer running Windows. Fortunately you can google for its location. Just like people who want to know where it is on Linux.

    Of course, most people don't know or care what a hosts file is.

    remember, these optimizations would not be available on Opera...

    What kinds of optimizations are you talking about? Opera is very configurable, and has many hidden option in ini files.

    Use Opera and you get both speed and security.

    You must be new to this console gaming thing. You're supposed to pick one console and love it with fiery passion. You're also supposed to hate the other systems and their users with equal zeal.

    I still have to maintain my position that unless there is a comparsion between Hitler and someone else, Godwin's law has not been violated.

    Nobody was comparing Colbert to Hitler ("He's like Hitler"/"He's a nazi"). They were just repeating what Colbert himself claimed to be.

    And the second most easy way would be to actually release some games in Europe. Of sure, we get the Final Fantasies, but that's about it. And even Final Fantasies are relased a year after their release in Japan.
