  1. Re:I'm sure the naysayers will be here shortly on A New Era in CSS Centric Design? · · Score: 1

    Resize your browser. It turns into a mess as the window narrows. Every 3-column css layout (that I've seen) has that problem. Tables for layouts are horribly overused, but for 3+ columns, css doesn't cut it.

  2. Re:It took them seven years... on Definition of Planet to be Announced in September · · Score: 1

    well, Jupiter, for example, generates more radiant energy than it reflects. And "massive" isn't exactly a definitive adjective.

    ever use gmail with opera? the back button is completely broken.

  5. Re:BN vs Amazon on The Art of SQL · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    slashdot gets a BN kickback. (must be a pretty big one, too).

    McAffee silently works as a proxy and adds javascript to downloaded pages -- an error handler to prevent javascript errors, maybe some other things as well.

  7. Re:[OT]: fonts too small on SSL: How to Choose a Certificate Authority · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they should rewrite /. in php just so they can use your user agent hack. Good thinking. Meanwhile, IE supports conditional comments, so it's easy to include a stylesheet that only applies to IE, no browser sniffiing, no css parser hacks.

  8. Re:As a former Wisconsonite... on The Molecular Secrets of Cream Cheese · · Score: 1
    To justify it all you have to do is imagine the tax benefits of even a few percentage points of additional dairy production.

    Considering how much the agriculture business is heavily subsidized by the government already (set asides, minimum prices, etc), increasing production will push down market prices and increase government subsidies. Not exactly a tax benefit.

  9. what? on Making an Argument Against Using Visual-Basic? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You were hired to rewrite some VB software, but you're not familiar with VB? The problem isn't VB, it's you.

    Ask a public servant to mow your lawn. Then let us know if you still think they "work for the people."

    "we as a society have gotten more violent in recent decades."

    False. The number of blacks and latinos has increased, resulting in more crime/violence. Europe is seeing the same thing due to an increased arab/muslim population. Society (ie, civilized people) has not gotten more violent.

    yeah, because everybody reads slashdot for the ugly design.

  15. Re:Continuous Surveillance? on Freshman MIT Students Automate Dorm Room · · Score: 1
    My first year of college, I got stuck in a triple. So I had to improvise
    1. Their room
    2. The bathroom (shower sex)
    3. The "study room" down the hall (lock the doors)
    I only had sex in my own bed 2-3 times. The next year I had a single room, less room but more privacy.

    PNG is 100% free. 100% FOSS friendly. There are commandline tools that will easily convert your gifs to png.

    But /. still uses gifs.

    VA Linux/OSDN runs MS ads. A LOT of MS ads. If MS suggested they start using some other format for their images, VA would drop trou and grab ankle. (they have in the past, they will in the future).

  18. Re:IANAL... on iPod Lawsuit Lawyers Sue Their Own Plaintiff? · · Score: 1

    First off, a marriage proposal is not a contract. Second, courts refuse to enforce specific performance if it is an unreasonable burden (ie, marriage).

  19. Re:Not much sympathy on 130 Filesharer Homes Raided in Germany · · Score: 1

    yeah... The thrill of doing kinky stuff outweighs the fact that she's a skank. Illegally downloading music outweighs the fact that it's britney spears.

  20. Re:Not much sympathy on 130 Filesharer Homes Raided in Germany · · Score: 1
    You see a girl on the street:

    1) You talk to her, she thinks you're funny, you go home and have sex.

    2) You zap her with a stun gun, drag her behind a dumpster in an alley, pull down her panties, tell her to shut up or you'll kill her, and have sex.

    You probably don't see the difference there, either.

    farm employment fluctuates (and includes illegal immigrants/migrant workers). As of 2001, it fluctuated between 700,000-1.1 million. That's 2% or so.

    Did you read your linked Wikipedia entry?
    Note that the conversions here are best described as "nominal". They will produce an invertible conversion between RGB and a subset of CMYK; that is, one can take an RGB color and convert to certain CMYK colors, and from these CMYK colors obtain the corresponding, original RGB equivalents. However, conversion of CMYK colors in general to RGB colors is not invertible; that is, given a CMYK color which is converted to RGB, performing the former conversion may not give the original CMYK color. In addition, CMYK colors may print wildly differently from how the RGB colors display on a monitor. There is no single "good" conversion rule between RGB and CMYK, because neither RGB nor CMYK is an absolute color space.
