For sure, in a content rich site like w3.org i would agree. However, I wanted my homepage to be pretty so I did the meager content in xhtml 1.1 and all the formatting with the use of CSS and DIV tags. My MP3 database is the only thing in a table, because thats what it IS, a TABLE.
as an aside, the jetfire transparent image in the background only works properly with Mozilla/Netscape 6+, not IE because it has a broken CSS implementation. Check it out in both if you dont believe me. ALL my formatting is done in CSS (no tables or anything), and everything validates.
It appears you are right about the 60MB/sec transfer rates, but the number I quoted was 3 pages past yours and was called "legacy transfer rates". I'm not really sure what this entails though - cacheless transfers? The numbers you presented do seem more relevant. Either way its below half of what ATA/133 is capable of, and 60MB/sec is exactly what USB2.0 does theoretically.
Few thousand, few hundred thousand, a million. They really have no idea because its hard to say how fast life took hold. However even if my timeframe was a bit off, even a million years is a flash in the pan and my point still stands. Also you don't address the universal DNA structure which implies a single origin.

OK so... Serial ATA debuts at 133MB/s AFAIK, while the current ATA/6 Spec is also 133MB/s. Firewire runs at 400Mb/s, or rather 50MB/s if we are to convert. So yes, is a tad slower. HOWEVER, ATA/66 is generally considered fast enough for modern drives, since the average drive bursts slower than that. In fact, in a comparison of the 4 fastest IDE drives available at storagereview.com the western digital 200MB 7200RPM 8MB cache drive managed to win out with a sustained transfer rate of 16.4MB/s. I'm not even going to mention that IDE has a maximum cable length (32 inches i believe) that precludes its use externally, and firewire does not. So you were saying?
Actually, the evolution of life in one place pretty much precludes it from happening anywhere else because once sufficient oxygen was generated by the first organisms, it prevented the formation of complex organics by oxidizing everything. This for instance is why we know life is not still originating on earth today. I suppose within a few thousand years timeframe there could have been a few separate origins, but the common DNA structure tends to suggest otherwise.

*sigh* its gnu-Darwin for the same reason its GNU/Linux or GNU/Hurd, because it is essentially the GNU operating system (gcc, glibc, binutils, fileutils, findutils, gettext etc.) plus the specified kernel. OS X has some GNU utilities in it (gcc i believe), but its mostly a BSD-derived system with the proprietary apple GUI on top. GNU/Darwin just shares the open source kernel and only a few common GNU apps with it.
A common misperception is that "fantasy" denotes a classic medieval environment with sorcery, and science fiction is futuristic in nature. This is not true. Fantasy is supposed to describe anything whimsical, while sci-fi is supposed to be based in scientific imagining. So for instance, Star Wars is in fact a fantasy, while Star Trek is sci-fi, because Star Wars makes no attempt to explain how or why certain technologies exist. This is an oversimplification I know, there are some explanations in SW, and ST isn't always terribly scientific.
While i am not usually one to complain about other people's posts, good lord - as soon as i saw this Linux 3.0 article i thought "uhoh more lame ass 3.1/3.11/95 jokes +3 funny..."
And unfortunately I was right. Am I the only one who finds the "In soviet russia" jokes to be orders of magnitiude funnier?
Having worked at a Cable Internet provider up here in Cananda for a time, I have some insight. The first problem is that most old cable systems are amplified unidirectionally, which means the system would have to be massively rebuilt for 2-way traffic. Second of all, modems are much more succeptible to line noise/ingress, which means a lot of extra work making sure noise is minimized and all connections are terminated (to avoid picking up off-air signals, "ghosting" images on the data stream if you will.) One solution used here to reduce noise is to replace the trunks with fiber, and only use coax in the neighbourhoods. The third infrastructure issue is of course the actual ip routers, backbones etc. which is a significant expense.
Aw come on, my 2 favorite games of all time (well before this week with the 2 new metroid games Uhhhhh...) are/were super metroid for the SNES and metal gear solid on the PSX. MGS was so NOT a click-through movie, it was an incredibly suspensefull gaming experience start-to-finish. The wonderfull tv show 24 actually reminds me of it a whole lot as far as emotional reaction.
I wasn't at all impressed by the first film, but the second one was much better! I do agree however that the second book is the weakest, but this movie is darker, funnier, and much better paced.
However apparently they still overclock like mad, so my guess is that they changed the process some, since previous models hit 3ghz pretty easy but not much more.
Actually no, I had this problem at one point when I set the MTU on my internal LAN to a lower value than my Linux-powered NAT box. There is no reason I should not be allowed to do this, it doesn't break any protocols. However suddenly all those silly sites that block ALL icmp traffic instead of just echo-request/reply wouldn't let me access them because the fragmented packets weren't being negotiated properly. ICMP exists for a reason, and disabling it is a BAD IDEA.

the EM tag is what you should be using, for emphasis. 2 letters :)

No, CSS is the way to do it properly. Using the FONT tag is incorrect since it uses HTML for formatting. Using CSS to format is recommended.
mine does. http://www.autobotcity.net

Well these jokes do seem to have a bit of life left in them after all, touche!
HAHA that is a funny mental image, someone mod this up would ya?

wasnt the original unix written in B?
my bad, i meant SSL or course.
The Hobbit was written for young children, i think he was hoping an older audience had more patience. Apparently he was wrong.
If i named my dog DOS, would HE be the definition of an operating system as well? What an absurd argument.
I havent tried it yet, but IMAP and POP over SSH are even available in Outlook XP.
