I thought it would be obvious that by not using an ordinary touch screen, it means you can safely rest you hand on the pad without the pointer going crazy.
Of course... I don't need any sort of headset. I am an excellent driver and I can concentrate on the road without a headset...
NOTE: That sounds a bit too much like a troll or sarcasm. But I'll reply anyway, since there are other people who honestly think like that...
That's the exact kind of thinking that causes accidents in the first place "It will never happen to me, 'cause I'm so much better than...".
Correction. You only think you're much better. This also isn't limited to driving either.
I have a friend who likes to drive fast occationaly (seems out of character for him). He says he knows his limits. But he has never crashed. How can you know you limits untill you exceed them?
Even if you have avoided accidents while taking on you cellphone, that dson't mean you will next time.
A song could be represented as the sheet music and the lyrics. You say that loses all meaning? Well to many, so does a website comprised of a bland layout and nothing but text. Both can be classified as art, and there is no point in trying to require that art be produced for the lowest common denominator.
I'm sorry, but you're going to have to rephrase that as have no idea what you're talking about.
By the way, as someone else mentioned, Southwest has a phone number.
By the way, as someone else metioned before, Southwest only offered disscounts to those who book online:)
It is simply art with a more specific purpose.
OK, now've you completely lost me. Are you trying to say that there's no difference between graphic design and art or something?
BTW. Not every blind person may want to book a ticket. Sure, you can do that over the phone (ignoring the above reason). But there is so much more info avalible on the web that isn't accessable by the phone.
While I agree with some of your points, you seem to be under the impression that all important infomation can be repesented in text, an that anything visual is a gimic.
Infomation can be in any media. I just happens to be that most of the web is in text. Hence the whole point that it isn't that hard to make the web usable for the blind (with the exception of some sites of course).
You're as much of a bigot as you belived the origonal poster to be.
That is like saying that compact discs already cater to the blind, but does the ability to hear entitle them to more? People with hearing problems (deafness or otherwise) should be granted the ability to "hear" whatever CD they choose, be it with an audio-to-note converter or otherwise.
See the problem there? (no pun intended)
No, No I don't see the problem there at all. You're comparing apples with oranges. Just because you can make an anology, that doesn't mean it will automaticly make sence.
I though it would be blatently obvious that most content on the web is text, and can easly be interperated visualy or via audio (audiobly?).
A CD is a silly example because it can't be represented visualy easly (well, without lossing it's meaning, you could always watch the equilizer bars;).
If you are on the radio, you must make a visual display for the deaf.
What the fuck are you talking about?
You seem to be implying that making the web usable for blind people is some hard and extreme task. Hell, the technologies are already there! And they're easy to impliment!
Please, stop all this "but where do you draw the line" bullshit. Making the web more accesable for the blind is easy, and one who says it isn't, is lazy or doesn't know what they're talking about.

Hehehe....That brings back memories. I was a kid when I had that. I can remember opening up the file and changing all the phrases to contain rude words. Of course, it took me a while to figure out how a hex editor is different to a normal text editor.
What the fuck are you talking about? What the hell is a video editing card and since when do cards conflict with motherboards? You obviousy have always had your computers prepackaged in a nice color box.
A video editing card was just an example. The fact is, you can never be guarrenteed to get components to work together, even if you do your research first (which most people never even think about).
I have never bought a pre-assembled computer (except for my iBook). I have made them all myself, I did my research, but I still have problems. You may not, but a lot of people still end up with conficts.
Win2000 maybe very stable untill you add a small hardware realted problem into the mix.
Some posted a link near the top that goes to Kodaks site. More flowers, with a blue sky.
Of course, the picture in the artical your talking about shows white and purple. So I'm not sure where you get the idea that this display can't show blues very well.
Apple commercial: "I wanted to do video editing and no one could help me to do it on a PC". What a fucking moron. If you can't use a search engine, what makes you think you could edit video?
Is it possable that they know this. But can't be fucked spending hours on the web looking for good advice and trying to decide who's right, downloading/buying different software to see which on is the best package, discovering that the new video editing card they bought conficts with their motherboard?
This person is a fucking moron because they didn't want possability of having to go through this?
BTW. Saying that someone who isn't good with the internet would also have no clue with video editing, is just plain ignorant and false.
Probably because glossy black just looks cheap (IMHO, and a few others obviously).
Glossy plastics show up finger prints and scratches very easly. I know this because I own an iBook. Of course this microPC is black, not white, which makes the problems much more obvious.
Not really. I may seem that way. But this isn't suppoesd to be a laptop, rather, a portable computer. If you move around a lot (but always at a desk with power etc) then this is usefull since you can stil have a proper keyboard and screen etc.
...and try to eliminate government waste of money (most importantly in the defence industry).
Damn right. Every time I read stats on how much various America weapons cost. It makes me sick.
It seems if it's OK to spend billions of dollars to blow people up. But not making people's lives better.
Here in NZ, they decided to sell all our fighter jets (a whole 10 Skyhawks or something). Alot of people were pissed. But I say it's a good thing. The money is better off spent somwhere else.
Then again, our Navy did buy a ship that couldn't be used in service. It's now shipping oranges around the place.
Opera may still be the fastes and lightest. But it's rendering engine isn't the best. Too many times have I gotten something to work right in both IE and Mozilla, only to have it completely fall apart in Opera. I guess this is why they're dropping it and starting from scratch with a new one.
Do some more reading. It seems as if they understand the problem.
A small snippet from the FAQ:
The extensions "manager" (really just a tab in a pref panel) is not bloat -- in fact, we're working so hard to support extensions to reduce bloat. Without extensions support, we'd be pressured to include the add-ons in the default build. And, finally, Satchel replaces Mozilla's bloated and complicated form manager.

Gota love that keyboard.
My concern is the fact that it will make the PDA thicker. PDA's don't need to be shorter, they need to be thinner.
Maybe someone can make a hybrid version.

Just install Girlfriend 0.7 and Girlfriend Sex 1.0 on seperate computer. That way, you get to keep Girlfriend 1.0, but don't get the conficts.
Why do a lot of server rooms have raised floors?
Is it for the cables, air-con?

This is a case where the director decided not to record audio in the first place.
BTW, there are set standards, you should have a browse around at www.w3c.org sometime.

That image in on the desktop of your screenshot. Did you do that? If so, what prog did you use to do the fancy radiosity rendering?

Amen to that. With a few little GUI tweaks here and there. I'll be saying goodbye to IE. And I most deffinitly won't be sad to see it go.
