Funny thing is it doesnt seem to work in internet explorer either (last time I checked).
Hehehe... That's the real killer. They develop an IE only web-site. But it doesn't even work on the lastest version of IE! And it's not just a small bug either. None of the sub-menus are accessable. And the links are burried somewhere in the pile of huge, bloated code in one of those Javascript files. It's not like you can just pop-up the source-code and copy'n'paste the URL (which only a very few know how to or can be bothered to do anyway).
A complete fucking joke....And the clients who paid a lot for it probably have no idea....Same ol' story.
I agree. That has to be one of the most horrible sites I have ever seen. It's dosn't even work properly in IE 6. I the top of the sub-menus are hidden somewhere above the top of the browser.
I tried to look into the HTML to pick out the contact link (to tell them there is has serious issues). But there was nothing there but javascript files. I looked at both. Neither had the data that I needed (from what I could see), and one of them had some strange looking code in it.
Nonetheless I was surprised when a sequel to MIB was announced (I didn't feel it needed one, but you know how Hollywood is..if the 1st made even a smidgen of money, sequel it!)
Yeah....I was supprised to. I was expecting a prequel.
Why do people like this keep getting modded up as insightful? The artical never says anything about 100 days per year.
Please. If you think it's stupid, arguee with facts, else you just look like an idiot. Say something like having 5-6 nameless days at the end of the year would make it no better that what it is now, esspecialy for computers.
That's the only thing that drives me crazy. I can deal with miles, inches etc. because I know what they are--they have sysmbols telling me so. But when you come along something like "1/6/2002" (neary half a year apart!), there is nothing to indicate which way around it is. This isn't much of a problem in RL (whether you live in the US or not). But on the net, it's insanity!
Is Buffy really what passes for good TV nowadays in the US? [and other countries].
I work for MSNBC. Yes....Anything else is too thought provocking and may loose us advertising revenue.
If you don't like Buffy we have Big Brother instead. Would you like to change the channel?
And please....Get away from that evil copyright violating machine, buy some Coke, sit your ass back on the couch, and go watch some TV (but don't complain about it or people might find something better to do!).
Although CCDs are sensitive to IR, they aren't sensitive enough to see heat or anything, just light. I'm sure someone else can give a better techical explaination.
I think it's just that the guy doesn't take good photos.
Even if it was IR, most digital cameras wouldn't have any metering problems anyway.
Moby himself maybe old. But his success is relativly new. It's not like Play was released a decade ago, and he's released lot's of albums since that have all been selling less each time or anything. He's still "new" really.
Uh.. because maybe he's an artist and not a marketing person? Anyway....even if he was a marking person, it's not going to make much difference is it? Marketing isn't chemistry. Just because you try to appeal to a specific audience, it dosn't mean it will work. But that's so obvious that you already knew that. So why bother posting in the first place.
Here's a clue Moby - maybe you're not selling as many records because you suck. You're like the MPAA or the RIAA - always blaming someone else and you're especially vicious when you don't have any evidence.
I really doubt Moby gives a fuck how his records sell after seeing and inverview of him. I think he's just making an observation, and not making up excuses for a bad album.
I don't think he was infering that he had muliple currecnies in his wallet at the same time. If that's the case, then yes either way is confusing. But most people just have one currency in the wallet. So colour does make sence for the majority.
And I know I'm about the hundredth person to mention it, but how hard is it to look at the corner of the goddamn bill?
Very hard if they're all stuffed in your wallet with the corners covered up. I could give you more senarios if you want.
Adding colour just make things easier. It's as simple as that. I don't know what big deal is (actually I do, but I'd rather not get into cultural/political value of the Greenback).
1) Imaging if traffic lights were all green, and had "Stop", "Stop if you can", "Go". Automaticly, it is harder to tell that the traffic light is telling you, no matter how intelligent you are.
Different coloured notes have got nothing to do with people who can't read. It's to do with making it even easier to recognize a note. It's a fact, anyone denying this dosn't know what they're talking about.
And why do stupid people deserve to have their money stolen? Or are you just trying to argue with a stupid point?
2) When I think of the USA, the colour of the notes are the last thing I think of. Sure, if you see a note, it's easly recognised are a cliche US note, but power and pride of the US economy don't spring to mind....Just a US note. I doubt the enconomy would suffer if the US changed their colour scheme. Hell, not big shots/coporates/stock markets/govenments deal with cash anymore anyway. It's all stocks, electronic cash and other stuff I know nothing about.

We're only talking subtle differences here. You can still line them all up and fold them in half. I never heard of any problems before.
I've lived in the US for 11 years, and I don't find that I have to check twice that I'm not handing over a twenty instead of a one. You're just used to certain cues and haven't got used to different ones yet.
That's the whole point. Having coloured notes is a much bugger cue as to what the note is. It's as simple as that. It just makes more sence.
The only reason I can think of for someone not wanting to go to coloured notes is because of tradition etc. Not usability.
Er, if it's in a stack, how do you check the color? Or yeah, by looking at each one. I can do that just as easily with money that's all the same.
Yes, but in reality. Notes aren't usaly stacked exactly on top of each other, with no gaps in between. All you need is 1mm of the note showing to tell you exactly what it is.
Even so. It's still just plain easier to flick though notes and recognize colours that it is to read numbers (not just because numbers are symbols--more complex than recognizing a colour, but because they are only in certain places on the note).

The eMac has a higher res screen. The iMac maxes out at 1024x768, the eMac does 1280x960.

Of course that won't work. You should really read the artical before posting. The only thing you got right was 10 hours in a day.
Keeping the years/days the same makes alot of sence. But things like months, weeks, hours, minuets, seconds could be changed to make more sence.

Can anyone please explain to me how the fuck an online mag can go though that much money? What's it all spent on?
I can't stand people who think that because someone is very commercial, that it automaticly means they're coporate whores or sellouts.
Moby himself maybe old. But his success is relativly new. It's not like Play was released a decade ago, and he's released lot's of albums since that have all been selling less each time or anything. He's still "new" really.
Has anyone considered that it's a bit of both? I.E. It sucks, and is suffering from "The Pearl Jam Effect"....Anyone?
When it comes to debating/arguing/deciding something. Only a fool assumes everything is black or white. /.
But then again, this is

Try THAT with 4 different sized bills!!
But you still have to take them out of you wallet at least partly to riffle though them. I can't do that in my wallet anyway.
Maybe that's what you ment anyway and I've just put it another way.
