More ports? My iBook (and that counts PowerBooks) has all the ports I need. I don't wan't any more thanks.
As pointed out earlier, the PowerBook also has a DVD-R drive and a couple of other goodies.
The only thing the Sony has going for it is weight and slightly higher resolution (which is a bad thing for some people aswell, since the screen is smaller to). If it was the same price we might have a contest here.
It's a black woman with purple hair (and shaved at the top). She's obviously been working out, and probably does steroids. She's wearing a tight, turtle-neak top.
So do I. And when I decided that we should really base the text soze around the default that the brower gives. People started to complain, users, and people within the orginisation. They probbaly didn't want to reduce the text, because that probably meant that most other site they visit would end up having very small text, since most sites have a font that is smaller than the default.
If we reduced the sixe back again and made sure that everything scaled correctly, then people who find it too small can enlarge it, whihc they may have already done anyway, since most of the other sites would probaly have text that was too small, if they though that same about our site.
What's that got to do with anything? It works in other browsers with the feature turned off, so it doesn't matter if the text is screwed up in the browser I do my day-to-day surfing in?
Sigh...If it too much of a pain in the ass for you turn it off when testing, then leave it on, and check the font size in another browser that you are testing. That should be too hard, since you should be testing in more than one browser anyway.
Then it has changed since the story was posted. The original design used pts, px, etc. Even if it uses % to reduce the size from what I specify, who wants to alter their font size for each website they visit?
Maybe you looked at the wrong CSS file.
I'm glad they used a percentage to reduce the whole thing. You don't seem to have any experience with this type of thing in the real world. People complain if you base body text around the default size that IE gives you. The thing is, if people always find it too small, then they will probably have their browser set to enlarge the text, which means that the site will have text to their prefered size. It's not perfect, it's a comprimise. But it works, and is fair for everyone.
That's great, but a) I'm a web developer and it will interfere with my work, and b) headings lose their prominence.
A) When you're testing, just trun it off. You should be testing in more than one browsers anyway. B) Well, then make you text bigger. Because if they had made that small text bigger, then you would have the same complained anyway.
One thing thay annoyed me about IE was that there is always a delay when right-clicking, then another delay when you choose "open in new window", then it opens right up infront of you, when you're trying to read, and to top it off, it's not maximised, eventhough the current is, and it always starts up maximised. I could always deal with it. But now that I've been using FireBird, IE annoyance sticks out like a saw thumb.
I just had a look at the stylesheet, at they're not defined in points anyway. They're all set using relative sizes, which is the way it should be done.
Also, you can set a minimum font size if you find it too small, but don't want to make everything else bigger.
3) The fixed 11pt font on mozilla.org is actually the worst part of all. I finally get around to upgrading to Phoenix 0.6 and this is the reward I get? Unreadable text? Yucch.
Huh? Fixed? Sure you aren't using IE? That's the only browser that has problems with fixed font sizes. And that problem is with px anyway, not pt.
I just tried it now, and it's re-sizable in FireBird. So if you find it too small, increase your font-size.
Whatever happened to playing gigs?
Isn't that how most decent bands/etc get started?
Once you get popular locally, you can easly burn off a some CDs, or give a few songs away free from your site, or get it played on the radio. Combine it with word-and-mouth advertising, and if you do have talent, you're on your way.
Without the middle men, you just won't hear as much commercialisd crap.
Talented groups only sign up with big labels when they are already on their way to the top.
And I hardly think it's a radical theory. It's more like a confirmation of something a lot of people already suspect. Just look at some of the jokes at the top of the page.
Besides, this isn't from the University of New Zealand (I don't think that even exists). If you knew what you were talking about, you wouldn't have make that mistake.
Hold you finger over the connector (the one you plug into the laptop), then touch something that's earthed.
Weee... Now your charging (or fully charged, can't remember which) according to the plug's LED.
I can't remeber if you have to touch both parts of the exposed plugs, or just one of them.
I guess it's safe. I don't think Apple are going to pump large currents through exposed connectors, it's something that would get picked up in it's first saftey test.
How can you call Apple missleading with names like "10GB iPod", "15GB iPod", and "30GB iPod"? That's their model names. While other companies might have named it "iPod CS0030i" -- which doesn't mean jack to anyone outside the company's engineers department -- Apple give their computers desciptive names.
Also, while they use words the general public can understand, they always have the specs avalible.
Slicing is the best thing since sliced bread (well, not quite). But if have to do graphics heavy site, the selection tool it just a complete and utter joke. It's incredibly slow, since you have to do it all one at a time, and then there's the fact that you'll have to do it all again if you make changes (slices are saved with the image, including names, and save settings).
Maybe you don't use it very much. But a lot of people do. It's a big time-saver, worth much more that $1.
As for "More images = more downloads". That's just a completely obsurd thing to say. Are you suggesting giant, 1 page sized GIFs or something?
Batter will last longer if you keep in in the fridge before you use it. Although I'm still not sure what batter has to do with 17" LCDs, other than your laptop will probably run better in the fridge, to.
Slashdot Mirror
Saddly, they're more like the Paul Hogan pisstake in that Simpsons episode. "I see you're played knivey-spoony before", etc.
But you're more than welcome to come to NZ though. We're like the Canada of Australia.
And ironicly, it's still sitting at 1, while a penis joke has been modded up to 5.

I'm lumberjack and I'm a OK?
Maybe they've changed again.
BTW, #10 is batman fucking the joker.
They do seem to have trouble shreading human bones though.

Sorry, I was talking idealisticly.

Would that be any relation to the Dogcow?

He was right. It's a saying. It was explained here previously in a /. artical, so hopefully someone can post the explaination again.
The same way one can be African and be born in America, perhaps?
Yeah, the kind of glove box that's quite oftern just a tad too small to fit what you're trying to put in it. :P

Bleh. He got what he deserved. I'll accept my -1 troll if he's get modded down -1 flamebait (or in this case, -1 stupit).
There are alturnatives to monitors, idiot. How the fuck do you think they get on the web in the first place?
The problem here, obviously, is there is no alturnative, for something that is rather trivial.
