Sorry, I just realized that my reply was really obscure. I was referring to the separate set of boxes being created for each account (drafts, sent, templates, etc.). I *think* they fixed this, but I'm not certain.
Oh sweet mother! That would be awesome! An XML-based eBook/Reader format would have unlimited possibilities. I might even consider looking into actually getting eBooks. Before now, I've never really thought about it. But a sleek eBook reader with an open XML-based format would certainly turn my head.
Seriously, this sounds like a slightly evil way of getting DirectX 9 out in the computing world. Just get every online gamer worried about lag, offer the latest DirectX version as protection, and you've instantly got millions of computers with DirectX 9 installed on them.
If you take a look at their page, they seem to just be marketing to inexperienced or really paranoid web masters. They are providing services that aren't needed. My favorite one is their "Anti-link protection." On their demo page, you can type in a web site URL and it will get all the links from the page. Now, iirc, having a bunch of links to other sites is a good thing in terms of search engine rankings. I sure wouldn't want links to my site on other web sites blocked by some expensive service. And honestly, who cares about how much HTML code a visitor can see?
I think these people are just trying to get as many newbies to buy their services as they can. I really hope nobody does.
That's going to be one bloody movie. I swear there was more blood and guts in Akira than any other movie I've ever seen (granted there are worse out there, but I'm not about to see them). I think I'll just stay away from this version. Akira won't be the same without the gore, and I won't be the same after seeing it again. Thanks, but no thanks.
Even with a parachute I don't think a car would survive that fall hitting the ground. I really can't imagine a parachute slowing down a 2-ton car enough to avoid damage. I mean, most SUVs' bumpers fall off at 5mph. Imagine the damage at, say, 20mph.
File sharing and internet radio have helped me experience some music that I would have never listened to in the first place. As a result, I've bought many CDs that I would have never gotten in the first place had I not heard them on my computer.
Being a web designer myself, I must thank you for doing this. I hope that anyone that ever views a site I've created and finds a bug, reports it just as you have. It's not easy trying to support at least 3 different systems and at least 2 browsers in designing a web site.
This past year my mom went nuts over building a lego trebuchet. When she first heard about trebuchets, she was really interested. She then came up with the idea of building one out of legos. (She wanted to make it into a project for the physics class she taught at a high school). After many months of searching for the instructions and pieces, we finally assembled one. Unfortunately, it never worked very well (but she had her class make them anyways).
Seeing this article just brought back some of those wonderful memories. I just had to share!:-)
I've been using Mozilla for a very long time now and actually, most sites work just fine in Mozilla. Only very rarely will I come across a site that doesn't work properly. I don't think many people will notice much of a difference if/when AOL makes the change.
I don't know. Are you sure that people demand better hardware sooner?
It seems to me that noticeable advancements in gaming due to hardware is starting to slow down, and that better hardware isn't the issue anymore. For example, in the fight for the better system, I consider the software companies and the selection of games more than the hardware and how "pretty" it can make a game look.
Would releasing a new system so soon be such a good idea?
I was also eager to see new episodes of BIG O, but from what I've read, there isn't a plan for creating new ones. I guess not enough people were into BIG O and CN decided to pull it. It's really too bad...
I'm speechless, I just don't know what to say. I know this isn't new or anything, but I still can't believe it! I never thought that Netscape would stoop so low. (I realize that it's not necessarily the Netscape Developer Team's fault, but still...). Has AOL no shame?
I miss the days of searching on Google around, oh... maybe 30 times for the title of the song I wanted and traveling to just as many sites times two, looking for a un-broken link to the file I wanted.
Ah... those were the days...
Strange, though, how every link on different sites for the same song all seemed to point to the same file on some other server.....
Personally, my CDs are enough (although I am guilty of having over a gig of mp3s on my hard drive). I don't think I'll ever pay for a music subscription service. Going to
Borders.com and browsing their music section is usually enough for me, and if what I'm looking for isn't there, I'll use Morpheus and download a few tracks to see if I really want a CD.
"... but the major obstacle isn't free music online -- it's immature technology."
What I am really eager to see is the growth of CD-text in more products. It's such a cool feature but it just doesn't seem to be spreading fast enough, IMHO.
It's so hard to find a good article giving the history of an operating system and comparing it to another. Most of the time, when I find some sort of comparison article, it is either biased and lacking in information, or, comes to an indecisive conclusion.
One thing that has always bothered me though, is, how do two CPUs work together and not fight over whatever it sent to them? The idea of having two minds is more than painful to think about, so how does a computer with two processors work? Anyone have a good article on this?

You know, I think this is fixed in this latest release. I've been watching the bug on bugzilla for this very issue. Of course, I could be mistaken.

Or, we could all just keep DX 8.0 and be fine.

Just my $0.02

Doesn't that make it kinda hard to take to LAN parties? I'd hate to miss out on a good Quake session because I couldn't get my computer into my car.
