I really wish people would think/look at source/search bugzilla before saying stuff like this.
Yes I really wish people would look at the source too... if anyone took a look at the source of the example URL for the bug you mention, they might realize that the list item tag was opened and then closed, before the content.
You can't blame the browser for incompetent web design. IE has always been more forgiving in regard to poorly formed html, but that's not necessarily a good thing -- it's just a thumbs up to writing sloppy html.
I agree with you wholeheartedly. I'v been using Mozilla exclusively on all of my machines since RC1 and 99.9% of all sites render fine in Mozilla. The sites/features I have seen problems with are as follows:
Sites that open an unrequested popup to view the main content. I turned off popups and I'm keeping them turned off. These are mostly personal/artsy/flash sites, and I figure I'm not missing much. If I really want to check out a site that does this, then maybe I'll launch IE. But it's not likely.
Sites that are funded/owned by Microsoft. MSNBC anyone? Not that it looks bad in Mozilla - it is perfectly useable, but there are a few broken tables and misaligned images. Oh and their DHTML menu navigation doesn't work in Mozilla, but I think that was written to only work in IE. Same with the menus on the Micro$oft website.
Scrolling DHTML -- haven't seen it work in Mozilla yet, just sort of displays the entire contents instead of scrolling it.
These are things I can live with. I find Mozilla to be a better browser... but, to each his own.
well, there's gotta be more to it than that... I just viewed an unordered list in RC3 on Win2k and it looked just fine.
there are numerous wierd little bugs in every browser that might occur on a specific platform under certain conditions -- Mozilla relies on people who find such bugs to report them so thay can be fixed...
if you found a bug in a pre-release version of the browser and didn't report it - you have no right to complain!
Kazaa and the Fasttrack network in general were not designed for the good of the people, or to make information free -- they were designed to make money. And unfortunately, the trend in bringing profitability to freeware applications has been to bundle a few spyware/adware apps along with the more desirable application.
If Kazaa were open source, there would be numerous spyware-free versions of the program (besides the fact that there already is one), and I wouldn't have had to remove that damn Gator program off most of my friend's pcs.
It's fantastic because the ruling was overturned. Of course it was a logical decision, but the concerns (and pocketbooks) of large media companies can sometimes overshadow logic in the courtroom.
These are different cartridges btw... they might be the same physical size (since they are designed for the same printers), but the "large" cart contains twice as much ink.
See the specifications on each cartridge:
HP 78 Ink volume: 19 ml
Page yield: 450 pages based on 15% coverage
HP 78 large Ink volume: 38 ml
Page yield: 970 pages based on 15% coverage
I've got a similiar setup, although I sprung for the Shuttle SV24 system to house it all. Still got the receiver/amplifier though (and an old turntable and VCR, both which receive very little use).
That Packard Hell remote is the only product of theirs I've ever used which wasn't garbage. I entertained the idea of purchasing an X10 RF remote (but their invasive ad campaign still leaves a bad taste in my mouth) and then I found the PB Fast Media remote on eBay for $5. Sure, I had to dig around on the web for drivers, but now I have control over my CD, MP3, DVD, DivX and A/V recorder from one remote, all in one compact system.
No they aren't. You are still in an enviroment that is focused on INDIVIDUAL achievement. A CS college graduate may be lucky to be exposed to ONE class where they were forced to interact with other students in a group enviroment.
Perhaps my own college experience was an exception to the rule, but nearly every one of my CS classes involved at least one group project. And regardless of who put in the most effort, who did the most work, and who wrote the sloppiest code, there was only one grade. Individual achievement was important, but teamwork was imperitive.
As one poster stated earlier, many universities are focusing on the ability to learn new skills and technologies, rather than just focusing on the current hot technology or language. And in most environments, the ability to work well with others is a more important skill.
I agree that the concept of such commercials seems rediculous, but I also think that public knowledge about the capabilities of new PVRs is really very limited at this point in time... a television commercial pointing out that there are people out there who don't have to watch commercials! One 30 second prime time spot would sell thousands of ReplayTVs!
I mean, I only know about PVRs because I'm a geek and the technology behind it, as well as the resulting court case, is interesting to me.
People who like to hang out in the home electronics department while their family/spouse/friends shop -- know about PVRs. People who hang out on Slashdot know about PVRs. And people who really like their television, or have really busy schedules, know about them too. And right now, this is the realistic market for such a device -- techies and tv-lovers.
If the television industry stepped outside of the courtroom and into the living room with their concerns, suddenly the general public would be much more aware of these products and their capabilities would be that much more appealing.

... and with their @yahoo email address, PanIP certainly appears to be both professional and trustworthy.
Sorry to have to tell you this, but the U.S. is already run by Corporate Whores... would there even be a DMCA if it wasn't?
