Too bad push just turned out to be a constantly refreshing webpage
This reminded me of a question I've had for some time: if a site owner uses meta refresh=30 seconds (or whatever), does that contribute to overall page views for the page when site stat programs totals up the results or does the software discard say, 100 page views if they all come from the same (static or floating) IP address over a given period of time?
For those unfamiliar with what I'm talking about read this(Understanding Hits, Page Views and User Sessions).
she says, "I could care less" when she really means, "I couldn't care less."
"I could care less, but not much" works, though.

Penis Song Lyrics
Monty Python
The Meaning Of Life
Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis?
Isn't it frightfully good to have a dong?
It's swell to have a stiffy.
It's divine to own a dick,
From the tiniest little tadger
To the world's biggest prick.
So, three cheers for your Willy or John Thomas.
Hooray for your one-eyed trouser snake,
Your piece of pork, your wife's best friend,
Your Percy, or your cock.
You can wrap it up in ribbons.
You can slip it in your sock,
But don't take it out in public,
Or they will stick you in the dock,
And you won't come back.
Software mouse cursor seems to be failing, so you won't see a pointer, yet
A nice utility might be to accentuate the mouse cursor for those that use more than one monitor at higher resolutions. I.E., touch the mouse slightly and the cursor flashes.
It may sound stupid to some, but this would be really useful in my opinion.
How a rational person can equate being wronged by receiving unsolicited emails calling for the death penalty for the sender, and say, the punishment that will befall the killer of Laci Peterson is beyond me.
The worst images of successful spammers we see are those that drive around in expensive sports cars and live in big houses. The United States claims to be a "classless society" (umm... by that I meant that there are no official societal classes) and it is still possible for the general public to tolerate $20million dollar per year celebrities, since money is willfully paid to make them that way - hero worshop goes a long way in the US.
However, when individuals that make money by pissing everyone else off make money, the outrage is understandable. The exagerrated statements regarding appropriate punishment for spammers come from a feeling of powerlessness.
He says he creates jobs. He says he has given up the business. Ralsky says that he hasn't sent any email out for weeks.
The main problem with all these statements is that a spammer is saying them.
No doubt he can legitimately "honestly" say everything you mention:
- "has given up the business" (transferred to someone else - he still likely controls it)
- "hasn't sent any email out for weeks" (oh, you meant SPAM email?)
- "creates jobs" Sure, hiring down-on-their-luck people that have a computer
"E-mail is not working any more," said Brendan Battles, a longtime marketer who has sold CD-ROMs containing long lists of e-mail addresses. "More people are mailing and you get less and less response." Battles says he has virtually given up the business.
"E-mail marketing is a good thing," Battles said. "I create jobs. But the media has made e-mail out to be some sort of terrorist plot."
The Altamont story about wind farms killing birds is old news
If the bird preservationists really want to make a dramatic impact (TV newsworthy) to make their point, make sure to freeze the birdsbefore shooting them out of the cannon.
The show is a copyrighted work. The commercials are each individual copyrighted works. I'd keep typing, but you see where I'm going with this...
Which reminds me of a previous Slashdot story, where one reply was basically, "why wouldn't advertisers WANT their (good) ads to be traded online?" And why does AdCritic.com want $99/year to view commercials!? (Bandwidth and site maintenance costs, obviously, but wouldn't an ad's popularity help determine what works for future campaigns?)
Do what everybody else does: Lie. They can't check everything
Modded Funny, but it's a real issue. When lying on resumes becomes commonplace (and accepted by CV reviewers), what is the true competent person to do?
So it's mainly a perceptual thing. Although the commercials don't reach a high volume, the way they are made gives the impression that they are louder.
My recent model Sony TV claims to have some sort of "sound equalization" (Steady Sound) feature. It doesn't work. What a scam.

What about the 120MB super drive?
Canada (Montreal, at least) had something similar in 1998, "Alex" as well as Videotron's Videoway (which was cable TV-based).
Given the *cough* rapid pace of MSIE development *cough* these days
Avant Browser is what IE should be like (granted, it's built on IE).
Not to mention AutoCAD.

Some online dictionaries have audio pronunciations, for example, infrared. Merriam-Webster also has them. Quite useful.
I predict that I'll get mod points in 2004.
What he said. Also, mispelling is common amongst those who don't read.
Regarding overused words or terms, how many times in the past month have you heard/read the phrase, "at risk"?
Liquid nitrogen is remarkably safe stuff to play with, unless you're deeply stupid about it.
How can you say this when we already know that the bad terminator from T2 was killed with LN2?

Good one. The only other professor grosses-out students tale I know of is licking pee from a finger.
I'm not sure, but a better use of industrial gases might be this and probably would provide more perceived results.

I didn't do it.

Just ask a Canadian to go "out and about" and you'll pick up that accent loud and clear, eh?
"Out and about" rhymes with "clout and gloat" to me. I think the sound difference has to do with the ruf of the mouth.
