I'm sure Amazon has noticed your recent lack of purchases, and is willing to reconsider their business model as a result. Either that, or they think you dropped dead.
Q: Why doesn't CSS allow web designers to specify styles per user agent?
A: It has been proposed and rejected many times. The basic problem with it is the same as for the User-Agent header in HTTP: every browser will be forced to lie about who they are.
I don't necessarily see that being the case. I would love to be able to specify a style that would only be targeted towards certain browsers, and know for a fact that it will fix that browser's incompatibilities without requiring my CSS to have all sorts of layers of devious hacks upon hacks to target certain browsers and ignore others.
Seems like W3C never considered this possibility, and now browser manufacturers have to deal with it in their own ways. Thanks W3C! Only 10 years behind the curve.
Simple solution. Wait until 75% of earth's population dies when H5N1 mutates into human-spreadable form, and then the rich and all powerful shareholders of major corporations (such as pharmas) will have the backs of no peons on which to step.
Agree. This could be said about anything where users do not pay attention or bother understanding.
I wouldn't fault the users, I would fault human behavior. It's something I call "Christmas Tree Syndrome": someone will immediately notice a new Christmas tree in their living room, but after the holidays, they may not notice it was taken down for several days.
Congress and states cannot make laws that abridge the freedoms set forth in the Constitution.
Sure they can. It's the job of the Supreme court to overthrow such laws, once made. And it will only get to the Supreme Court if someone brings it there, and even then it's not always guaranteed.
For the insightful comment of the day: domain names are dumb. Sure, they have the utility of being easy to remember, but there are much better solutions to directory services than domain names. Ask the owner of PenIsland.com
Similar to how XML uses XSLT to transform XML documents from one application to another, it wouldn't be a half-bad idea to have a Tag Transformation Language. Organizations with a lot of market share can define their own tag standards, and then people can optionally specify the transformation between their own local ontologies and the established tag standards. This has the advantage of being participation-driven.
I'm confused. I thought they only needed 1 camera and some really good software. You know, "zoom in on that reflection of the lamp post and enhance contrast, removing noise and distortion based on the shadow information and weather report".
Can you imagine how aggravating a stuck pixel will be if it's on your HUD or glasses?
My friend has an LCD TV with 3 stuck pixels. I understand the conditions which encourage manufacturers not to accept the exchange of a set unless it has 7 or more stuck pixels, but come on; do you know how fleeced my friend feels, knowing that he paid the same amount of money for a display that has 3 glaring defects which affect his viewing pleasure, whereas his other friends paid the same price for a set with no stuck pixels?
I hope that all of the PETA members who are diabetic refuse to take the new medicine - after all, how could they use medicine that involved giving mice diabetes-like symptoms?
I suppose that you could add heavy taxes on luxury goods to "even out" the tax burden, but that's not exactly fair to the middle class (my new flat screen is gonna cost WHAT?!), and it puts luxury goods completely out of reach for poorer families.
I hate to sound like a meanie, but poorer families might benefit by buying things other than luxury goods. I mean, during the Great Depression, you didn't hear people complaining about how they couldn't buy luxury goods.
As I've posted before, I think this is a good approach.
Are you crazy? If anything, we should flood their markets with consumer goods at super cheap prices, in order to get citizens to see that Kim Jong-il is not the only product of god upon which the light shines. Let the glow of an ipod screen temporarily let a North Korean citizen forget the Kim Jong-il poster hanging in their living room.

Oh great. Expect a resurgence in rickrolls. No one can protect you!
I can hardly believe that the US government would make a sensible decision that also happens to be in the interest of its citizens.

Thank God! Seriously, whoever thought that doing web security within HTML forms was a good idea really needs to be taken to the shed.
Yes, you are right. This country would be better off with no speculators whatsoever.

I'm sorry, but there's no way that Perl is only 2.5 times as dense as Java. It's at least 150 times as dense.

20% increase in efficiency will result in the consumption of "far less" fuel? Far out!
