The thought of robotically controlled rats scares me somewhat...
Although, this has been happening for a long time...
That's basically what congress is, right, a bunch of rats controlled remotely by lobbyists, right? Of course that group of remotely controlled rats scares me too. I'm just gonna go hide in a cave with some real rats... I feel much safer there.
It sure wouldn't suprise me if they did include some form of popup blocking, or for that matter tabbed browsing. Microsoft will proclaim their wonderful "innovations" and how they will change the internet. Which is what they have done consistantly...
I would imagine we will start to see a IE 6.5 beta hit the net shortly, possibly incorporating the popup blocking, but my guess is that IE 7 will be the version to really grab mozilla(and opera for that matter) innovations.
As the article says, "It's not an industry that is going to create the next Netscape or the next Microsoft."
Since this is known to be a future market, many companies will try hard to become players. Most know that they only way to do that is to follow standards. As long as there is a standard, this will allow for more companies to compete.
After all, you don't see 3com or cisco making it impossible to compete in ethernet networks.
There is proof that creationism is true also. Do a google search on "proof of creationism" or read this quote:
Many...believe in evolution for the simple reason that they think science has proven it to be a `fact' and, therefore, it must be accepted... In recent years, a great many people...having finally been persuaded to make a real examination of the problem of evolution, have become convinced of its fallacy and are now convinced anti-evolutionists." -- Henry Morris, former evolutionist.
Fortunately, my microprocessor teacher didn't have an accent, but nonetheless, the diagrams were on a whiteboard, and highly illegible. A book like this would be nice for students taking such a class. The worst part of my class was the $150 book, and using it only for the ASCII table. Then they decided to change the book the next year so I couldn't sell it back -
On a related note - Anybody wanna buy a used book on architecture, programming, and interfacing with the 8086 and 8088 microprocessors? Rarely used, little wear, only used page 33 (ascii table)
Dynamic HTML is a collective term for a combination of new Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) tags and options, that will let you create Web pages more animated and more responsive to user interaction than previous versions of HTML. Much of dynamic HTML is specified in HTML 4.0. Simple examples of dynamic HTML pages would include (1) having the color of a text heading change when a user passes a mouse over it or (2) allowing a user to "drag and drop" an image to another place on a Web page. Dynamic HTML can allow Web documents to look and act like desktop applications or multimedia productions.
The features that constitute dynamic HTML are included in Netscape Communications' latest Web browser, Navigator 4.0 (part of Netscape's Communicator suite), and by Microsoft's browser, Internet Explorer 4.0. While HTML 4.0 is supported by both Netscape and Microsoft browsers, some additional capabilities are supported by only one of the browsers. The biggest obstacle to the use of dynamic HTML is that, since many users are still using older browsers, a Web site must create two versions of each site and serve the pages appropriate to each user's browser version. The Concepts and Features in Dynamic HTML Both Netscape and Microsoft support:
* An object-oriented view of a Web page and its elements
* Cascading style sheets and the layering of content
* Programming that can address all or most page elements
* Dynamic fonts
I have to agree. I've been using the nightly builds of 1.3a for about 3 weeks or so, and they are as reliable as IE6 SP1 is. I won't make any comments about what that implies though...
anyway, good job mozilla team, and keep up the great work!
- He once sent our company mascot an email with his resume. Apparently he thought a mouse was in charge of human resources. Guess he thought we were disney.
I'd have to agree - I've never used it, other than signing into an old hotmail account. Microsoft may force me to sign up, but that doesn't mean I'll use it. That doesn't mean that I'll use liberty alliance or whatever it is called.
I seem to remember microsoft trying this with microsoft wallet for storing all of your credit card information. That never flew, and I doubt that passport will really be such a big thing. Personally I like having everything seperate, so in case somehow it gets broken into/cracked, I'll only be vulnerable at one website/domain. I try to keep seperate passwords for security, and keep things divided for more protection.
when you take stuff out of context, it makes it a lot better though:
"Does it bother you at all that some of your fame might be related to your perceived state of sobriety in the commercial?
It doesn't really bother me. I do admit to looking pretty out of it in that commercial -- I think I look horrible. It was after school, but I was the last person to make the commercial, so by the time I made it it was like 10, so I was really tired. The funny thing was, I was on drugs!...."
For someone living in the middle of nowhere, dialup is still about my only choice (no - DirectPC satellite access is not my idea of broadband), netflix, or the local video store is better for me. I'll pass on spending days downloading a movie thats crappy quality compared to a DVD... Also, what about the people who have caps on the downloads per month? That could make it cheaper to just rent the movie than to download it.
you're tellin me. I wasted good time on that article/fable that could have been summed up in about a paragraph. I'd like to know who spent the time writing this.
Since I recently heard that microsoft could sell windows for around $45 and make a profit (I think that's right), if they really want to make sure linux doesn't take over, knock the price of windows down. More people would be willing to buy windows xp if it was $50 rather than $200. I know they want to make a big profit, but I think if they got more sales (by discounts on prices) they would have more volume. But what do I know, I'm not a marketing analyst.
how many people really would look at the code anyway? Most people don't understand coding enough to make it worthwhile. The people that need to look at the coding probably already have access to it through their software contracts. It sounds like a good idea, but not many people really care to look at the source of their programs in real life (other than the slashdot crowd)
It doesn't really say anything about how the optical cell phones would work inside a building. I'd be very curious to know how they plan on overcoming this obstacle. Of course, this is just a grant to study it. It may never come to *see the light of day*
I wouldn't try them. I went in to check the other day, they've mainly become a satelite TV dealer. Half the store was recievers stacked in boxes. I prefer buying from the local electronics shop.
Remember, these are the people who brought you the CAT (remember that screwy thing?). They weren't too bright to begin with, and have yet to show signs of improving. This might be a step in the right direction though...

I'd be much more willing to buy CD's if they were not insanely expensive.
Most new CD's cost around $15-$20... Considering I usually buy a CD mainly for 2 or 3 tracks, thats about $5 or more for a single song.
Or, I could buy the singles, and pay about $5 a song
Gee, that really makes me want to buy CD's. I'll stick with Kazaa Lite, Gnutella, or something.
The only time I buy a CD anymore is when it is a small band that I want to support, and then I usually buy from their website.

I just sold my copy last week for $.25 at a yard sale... I thought it was funny the guy took off laughing after I took his money.
It is probably if that was done, and proven intentional, you'd end up getting screwed.
Most states outlaw radar jammers anymore I believe.
I have to wonder, who made the decision to depend upon the russians for financial support.
I mean how bad can it be that you have to financially depend on a group that depends upon Lance Bass for financial support?
somebody oughta get fired for this one....

All of the sudden the city of Largo notices NCD thin clients jumped up in price on ebay... surely couldn't be slashdotting ebay now? could we?
