was the related ruling that the X-Men weren't actually real.
To Brian Wilkinson, editor of the online site X-Fan, Marvel's argument is appalling. The X-Men -- not real? "This is almost unthinkable," he says. "Marvel's super heroes are as real as you or I. They live in New York. They have families and go to work. How could they possibly be figments of someone's imagination?"
A fairer comparison would be to Mozilla Phoenix [mozilla.org], which is a browser only. Still considerably bigger than Safari but nowhere near the size of the fullblown Mozilla.
And compare it with all the features that phoenix has but Safari lacks. How much code will need to be added to Safari to support Tabs? Or XML+CSS, or XSLT? Or MathML?
It seems rather silly that Apple releases a "new" browser that doesn't come close to supporting what the "old" browsers do.
And at the same time, our storage needs are 2^10 times as large due to 10^3 more data, 10^3 more illicit mp3's, 10^3 more pr0n, 10^3 more overhead in a microsoft binary document format,
Speaking of overhead.. doesn't it take more overhead to type 10^3 instead of simply typing 1000?
Can't someone just analyze an X-Box disc that already has the code on it?
I was wondering this myself. Could someone who knows more about it explain this?
The private key is somewhere in the xbox. The public key is given to software developers by Microsoft. They sign their software with the public key, the xbox then decodes the game using the private key that's stored in the bios or whatever.
Is that right?
If so, how difficult is this really? You've got the cypher text (any xbox game), you've got the private key (in the bios), you've got the clear text (apply private key to cypher text)... and all we're missing is the public key?
No offense to KDE which I hold oh so dear over any other WM system, but Gecko is just a better engine.
A perfect example are the articles at www.iht.com. They work perfectly under Gecko, IE, and Opera. They don't work at all under KHTML-based browsers. Because KHTML doesn't support the overflow css tag (to name one or two)
My question is, if Linux overtakes MacOS on the desktop, can Microsoft continue to justify to it's shareholders the reasons behind not making Office for Linux?
They can't say there isn't a market if they make Office for a *less* popular OS.
(It's not that I actually want nor need Office for Linux.. but it's something I'm curious about)
Why is it that these hardware review sites never give the price? You would think that the price would be at least as important as Baud Rate or some of the other things they listed.

It's not the same as history.go(-1), what if the reason you want them to go back a page is because they forgot a field in a form? Using history.go(-1) will preserve all the text in the form, your way won't.
opengl, on the other hand, is geared for professional applications especially 3d.
Yup. DirectX can't handle quads.. only triangles. DirectX can't handle NURBs (although I think that was one if the things DX9 is supposed to remedy). Quads and NURBs are the reasons professional 3d packages use OGL instead of DirectX.
I know this is modded as funny, but it's true. Oxygen is toxic. Oxygen destroys your cells over time, eventually killing you (assuming you don't get killed by something else first).
Incoming callers who block their numbers from being identified are screened
Qwest offers that service for free. Anyone who actively blocks their caller ID that calls me get's a recorded message telling them that I don't accept calls from blocked caller ID and then instructs them how to unblock it.
I would think that as more people get broadband html in general will die, we will see more and more FLASH oriented sites
Riight.. because my company hates the fact that Google indexes our site so that people will find us. If only we had a way to wrap up all that content into a proprietary format to keep those customers away.
And those damn cellphone users.. they shouldn't be able to view our site, they should go find a Windows machine just like the rest of the world.
$10,000 sounds like a lot of money for Pepper. Maybe the money would be better spent on other projects?
That's an odd thing to say. Who's to say that spending money on Pepper is any better or worse than spending it somewhere else? The only people who can make that choice are the ones ponying up the dough.
Anyway, back to my question though, how SHOULD people make money from their websites? Or should thousands of people in the world just work their butts off to give YOU stuff for free?
That's not our problem. It's not my job in life to find out ways *you* can make money.
I don't care if you can't make money. Here's why, the web isn't going to disappear. Ever. It was around before people tried to make money off it, it'll be around afterwards. It'll be around as long as humans have hobbies. Just like opensource.
Your site may go away.. but who cares. It's *your* job to convince me that your web site is worth paying for. Or you need to convince advertisers that the people visiting the site will spend money on them. What you *don't* need to do is ask me to play nice so the advertisers continue to give you money... fuck that. Why don't you ask the advertisers to play nice so I continue to visit your site.
So back to your question. "how SHOULD people make money from their websites?" Any fucking way they can. But don't go bitching if your business plan sucks because the customers aren't playing fair.
If Ford screwed up and made a car that anyone could unlock and start by doing something special to it, allowing the car to be easily stolen by anyone, you wouldn't blame the guy who posted how to do it on the Internet
Funny you should mention that! This is a true story, happened last year. One of the local news stations (KVOA4-Tucson) discovered that you could unlock and start any Saturn with a pair of children's scissors. They demonstrated it on TV.
No one complained about KVOA showing people how to steal Saturns.. they complained that Saturn was aware of the problem and wasn't fixing it (as far as I know, Saturn has yet to fix this problem, and you can still steal Saturns armed with only a pair of children's scissors.)
Unlike IM, when I send someone an email, it is unnecessary for them to be online, or have their IM client running in order to receive my message.
Check out Jabber. It does just that. If someone sends me an IM, I don't even need to be online, the jabber server will store the IM for me until I sign on.
IM has the potential to replace email because there really isn't anything email provides that IM can't. Even syncronous communication.

Safari weighs in at 7.2 megs, Mozilla is 38.3 megs.
Safari has a ton of room to grow before it achieves Mozilla's mammoth size.
But how big is Phoenix? 8 megs. Phoenix supports soo much more than Safari, and it's not much larger.
The issue is the gecko engine, not Mozilla.

This article is all about "addiction". Like there is a chemical dependency or something!
Nicotine is the most addictive substance on the planet, yet the physical addiction is gone after 3 days of not smoking. It's all mental after that.
Mental addiction is far stronger than physical addiction.
What's wrong with doing something like:

Could you summarize your comment for me? I stopped reading after 2.32 seconds.
corporations exist for one reason: to make money.
No, corporations exist for one reason: to better the lives of its employees.
If the corporation was making money, but wasn't improving the lives of its employees, it would cease to exist.
Broadband is to wife, as dialup is to girlfriend.
I dunno, is your wife always-on? I know my wife gives me more busy signals now than back when I had girlfriend.
