I strongly disagree. HTML standards are standards for a very good reason -- it allows ALL producers of HTML clients AND HTML editors to aim for a common goal.
Following the "standards" as laid down by Internet Explorer will mean those writing HTML documents will continue in bad habits learnt during the so-called browser wars between Microsoft and Netscape. If you take 10 random sites and check the source code of the home page, I'd wager than none of them are using valid HTML 4, although the standard has been public for over four years!
I think it was on Slashdot that I read about a conversation between two users, one new to Unix operating systems and the other an old hand.
The new user was asking the older user why a lot of the packages had i386 in the title, warranting a reply from the experienced user of something along the lines of "because that is what they were compiled on...", leaving the new user to ponder about large farms of 386-processor machines.
Perhaps a compilation farm such as this could generate an even greater level of confusion!
Having CSS functionality in XML is a Good Thing, but would it not be worth waiting for a full implementation of XSL functionality on the client side before embarking on a full-on application?

Beer is an Aussie thing.
Apparently not. According to this web site, beer was "invented" by the Mesopotamians and Sumerians as early as 10,000 BC.
Obviously one cannot discount the fact that the indigenous population of Australia may also have made the same discovery, but otherwise one must presume the earliest brewing of beer having taken place after the first (European) settlement in 1788.
Well, Disney are a pretty evil company, with plenty of allegations of using child labour to create those lovable, huggable, cuddly Mickey Mouse toys. I guess by letting the crowd know who he works for, it becomes more obvious what an asshole this guy is likely to be...
I agree with you to a certain extent, but I'd be surprised if a Windows 98 box could manage the same uptime as my Debian GNU/Linux box. The "tools" one uses does have an effect.
The strange thing is, I don't actually modify anything, since I'm only using it for checking my e-mail! Just because I curiously deleted some files on my dad's laptop when I was young, they no longer trust me!:-P
I tried to do that with my parents but they don't trust me because everytime I touch their computer, something usually goes wrong. That said, they are using Windows 98.:-)
Just after the four Hobbits get past the watchman in Bree, on their way to the Pracing Pony, Peter Jackson appears on the right hand side of the screen, and announces his presence with a lovely belch.
I hope they have some interesting features on the Two Towers DVD(s) related to MASSIVE. There was a bit on the Special Edition DVD of the Fellowship of the Ring, but not as much as I would've liked.
Thing is, since the cash you're paying will be charged through your telco account, you'll need to sign up to a telco, such as BT, which certainly can't be on a month-to-month basis. I suggest this now become the focus of your attention!
What is the time delay between a point being logged by the tracking device and that point appearing on the web page? Usually it is less than 12 minutes.
How is this real time? There is no mention of real time at all on the web site, so where did the article submitter get this from?

You must mean this beauty from The Onion:

I've got the third edition, and that is also very good!

After all, it's better than most of the shit I hear on the radio every day.

Sounded interesting to me, until I discovered you only get 25MB!

Makes a change from "Slashdot posted the same review of these machines twice on July 4."
I tried to do that with my parents but they don't trust me because everytime I touch their computer, something usually goes wrong. That said, they are using Windows 98. :-)
Nope, just Prince Phillip

Some people will go to any lengths to improve the popularity of their distribution. But please, burning servers?
I thought DDoS was distributed denial of service? What the fuck is DDD?
I'd get rid of the smiley if I were you.
Duh! Doom III of course!

Does Windows Update require signed ActiveX controls?
If so, I presume the default action would be to trust Microsoft controls? Will this mean that the majority of users will be exposed to this problem?
