Uhm... your attempt at being a smart ass has lost me. My ghetto?
In the past I've not been a fan of the MS Free Friday Mod just because I kind of thought it was silly, and I know people who use IE. But... I figure if that is the direction MS wants to take the web, the direction that underminding standards is the only way to maintain your market share, then we should join up just to show how stupid an idea it is.
Now you will have IE users who can't get to some modded sites. And when they ask why, they can be educated to the fact that MS decided they would refuse non-IE browsers.
Preaching to the choir is a waste of time because there are not enough choir members to fix the church.
Oh, nevermind... the American populous has been stupid for too long to change now.
Okay, as someone has said in another threadlet, a designer of the buildings disliked the lack of fireproofing and said that any fire above the 70th floor would collapse the building. *shrug*
Water may be too heavy. That explains why the automanufacturers are not releasing there water based fuel cells. I thought it was so the petro companies could still sell gasoline.:)
But point is, the fuel cells will not be like the Hindenburg. They will not carry LOH like the shuttle either.
The building, like most big buildings, is designed to not fall over sideways. The moment of inertia for that would be impressive to overcome.
If the fire really caused the building to collapse, then this building couldn't withstand a fire without the collision, and that needs to be addressed.
The hydrogen fuel cells would have less boom because the hydrogen wouldn't be liberated until needed. The Hindenburg carried hydrogen. These fuel cells will carry water or hydrocarbons. They will split the hydrogen out as it is needed.
But... I would imagine a full size jet liner weighing how many tons dry, would still be enough of an impact at over 400 mph to bring down the WTC.

Napster Clawing Back

· Score: 2, Insightful
So what copyright's did Napster break? Did they go out of there way and copy someone else's protected material, or did they do nothing more than make it possible for millions of users to redistribute copyrighted material.
So if we can sue Napster for make a vehicle withwhich one can break the law, can we sue Smith & Wesson for several thousand homicides in America?
If you honestly want to work on getting Linux accepted, Star Office is great. But you have to make Linux itself much much much more user friendly.
Every single peice of functionality has to be quick and easy to use. I can sit down and figure out an NT/2K network, setup accounts for people and machines, build and configure machines, install applications, and manage TCP/IP without a book. I have never had training in that, I just figured it out.
But I am still trying to get a nice stable Linux build that will do what I want it to do.
Linux is better, there is no question about that. Now it needs to be easier.
Well, you can look at it that way, but if you were to walk into Jane's Lingerie and Lace, Jane could watch you, see which articles you looked at the longest, which you were more interested in and which she thought you wanted to maybe buy (need to be talked into). She could also see what was your size.
If you want to look over the selection in private, you take the catalog home. You should download the site and look at it in private, this way you don't interact with the site the same way you would interact in the store.
True. You knew the shop owners name and something about him and his family. Like I said, the people doing this now are "not-so-friendly". They tend to hide behind the anonimity they want to take from you.
And yes, make the whole page one event-sensitive div.
I was thinking the same thing, how can they do this since web browsing involves stateless, connectoinless technologies.
So I thought about it, and here is a possiblity:
If a JavaScript or a Java applet can subtly catch your mouse movements, then they can be imbedded in hidden inputs on the web page. Every link on that page fires off a JavaScript which will submit the form and then redirect you to which ever page you requested. The mouse movement data can only be reported if you select another page.
In all honesty, paying attention to your actions is the same thing any brick and mortar shop owner can do why watching you walk down the aisles. When stores were smaller and people friendlier, shop owners made it their job to remember your name, your family, and your preferences (The usual, Mr Smith?). What this technology is trying to do is no different than that, it is just not always being done by not-so-friendly people.
While I personally try to produce something I can be proud off, saying there is shody work out there is not news.
I would wager that most car mechanics, plumbers, electricians, home builders, anyone-who-works-on-something-you-don't-see are crooked, cutting corners where they can and shamming the public.
Good point. But are you saying...
myLang = C++;
or
C++;
myLang = C;
I think C++ was choosen instead of D. I think D was the appropriate choice for C++, but C++ was used for the humor.
In any case, I don't see the use of D at this point being logical. I can see (C++)++. But if you use D you are admitting that you are progressing through the alphabet (B then C then D). Maybe I am just too spoiled by Perl, where you can "C"++ and get "D".:)

Oh, nevermind... the American populous has been stupid for too long to change now.
And I agree with you, but... if MSN wants to be this way, then I think I will finally install the MS Free Friday Mod.
As far as I'm concerned, it is not illegal until they pay someone. Bad business practices should be perfectly legal, but bribing shouldn't be.
As much as I may hate this idea, I think we should all run such a mod and forever refuse to serve IE.
IE is hampered in that it can't lie about its UA string like K and Opera can.

This bothers me.

Uhm... I don't think so. You had B. The next letter in the alphabet was C. I don't think C was choosen because it was the next in the BCPL acronym.
This might have been mentioned already, but... it wouldn't be called "D". C++ is D. The successor to C++, which is to say (C++)++ should be E.
For those of you keeping score, I think the progression goes: CPL, BCPL, B, C, C++.
