As someone mentioned earlier, it probably is a Mozilla Firebird bug in the quirks mode rendering. It renders fine in Mozilla 1.3. However as some others have stated already, it's not valid html or anything else except tag soup.
I don't know why you say 'tentatively', but it validates as HTML 4.01 strict , and if you visit with a compliant browser, that asks for xhtml 1.1, you are served xhtml 1.1 with a content-type of application/xhtml+xml. I'd welcome you to show me how it doesn't validate.
You probably saw html 4.01 content if you visted with konqueror, opera, or IE. Mozilla requests application/xhtml+xml as a higher priority than text/html.
This site is broken in a very recent build of Mozilla Firebird. I find it horrid. I hate the floating bar at the top. There is no content in the middle area, probably because it doesn't validate.
I am very displeased with the website's designer. This is all before I have even had a chance to explore the rest of the site. Sorry, your 10 seconds is up. Next Link.....

I'm not sure what version/options that Netscape 7 installs since I use Mozilla, but most Winamp users (that I know) grab the full version.
I would have to agree that SCO doesn't lose their rights to distribute the kernel, but they have knowingly relicensed said offending code under the GPL by distributing the offending code in the kernel.
As soon as they learned of the code, the should have stopped distributing Linux--not weeks after their initial filing.
He was referring to testing of the keyboard layout prior to use. He is correct in that Sholes had no idea how to lay the keyboard out. The design that we use today is not the original. Sholes redesigned it to keep speedier typists from jamming their typewriters keyboards. So the qwert keyboard is subotimal. Dvorak spent a lot of time optimizing the keyboard (for English anyway).
Obviously, you did not read the article. You just read the posters comments. Tridge is only working on 30% or so of the code. User and group mappings for example will not be touched. Just the things that interact with the posix layer of the system in question. It is still a significant portion of the code, but not a complete rewrite.
You are so on the money. I really wish that people would realize what is going on around them instead of just ignoring the issues because it doesn't directly affect them at that moment. People don't use their rights to make change because they keep themselves so uninformed about the world around them.
How about fixing the random closing of connections to AFP Servers? Every install that I have seen seems to do this. I know that Apple is trying to phase out AFP, but shouldn't they support their own protocols?
You are right, not all of us want large icons. However, the people drawing the icons want ones that scale without having to rerender the same icons at a larger or smaller size. It makes it easier for the artists and for the people who are visually impaired. It also should reduce diskspace for many icons.
If you don't care, that's fine, but since the GNOME developers have a desire to make their desktop accessible to everyone, which makes this important for them.
We received a 40 page package from SBC Intellectual Property today informing us that our web site - which has links on the left side that go to other web pages within the site - but does not lose the left side navigation links - was in violation of their "Structured Document Browser" Patent.
If you follow the patent link above, you can see that they are claiming a patent on using navigational menus in an SGML or HTML document. It's an oddball patent for sure, but from what I read on the patent, it seems that a persistent menu is what they are laying claim to.
First off, CSS support has been around since IE4 NS4.
Limited yes, but it is there.
Second, if you have Windows 98, you have IE4.
Sorry, not everyone does.
Third, Mozilla simply doesn't follow all CSS properties.
And neither does any other browser on the market at this time. However, aside from the horible float bugs in Mozilla, it does have the best CSS in any browser right now.
Many may not have had the pleasure of using uPM yet. It is a new package manager that seems to be very well thought out and seems to be heavily bassed on dpkg and ebuild/emerge. It represents the best features of both. It aims to simplify the build process and allow for binary packages to be built from the customized build process.
I would look for uOS, the distribution based on the package manager to rise above either Debian or Gentoo (both of which I love, btw). It is still early in development, but it seems to work well for me.
It can be configured to use MS SQL Server, but I haven't tried. I agree that file based access is poor design, and there are a lot of bugs in SASIxp. They have more services releases than most any software that I have seen. It's almost as if we are the beta testers or something.
There is just so few alternatives for a comprehensive student management package. There doesn't exist a free software alternative, but as I and others have already mentioned, the incentive to create niche software of this kind as free software could only really be done by those with the knowledge of what schools need.

It almost sounds like that you are suggesting that Winamp doesn't support ogg vorbis. It does.
Just when do you see posts here directed at bugtraq.com? Bugtraq Mailing list is hosted by securityfocus.com.

No need to buy postage, just put SCO as the sender and receiver as seen here.
That's awesome! I would love to see this happen.
I'm running woody and Mozilla 1.3 and I am able to view wikipedia.org just fine, thanks.

I guess you should have invested in some virus protection software. Could have saved a lot of money.
Sorry. I forgot to mention that you need to look at section 3. Yes I grabbed this from Tycho's post the other day.
That's probably why they figure that they can win this if it ever goes to court.
See this PDF for details.

Finally, let's also remember that it was not a DMCA case, it was plain old copyright
They have since amended their claims to include DMCA references.

Still html 2.0 predates the filing for this patent.
I see no frames on www.museumtour.com, do you?
Read the Article!

IE doesn't have that bug.
This is true, but it does have it's fair share of CSS bugs as well. It's a bit more than one bug.
First off, CSS support has been around since IE4 NS4.
Limited yes, but it is there.
Second, if you have Windows 98, you have IE4.

I really should have read the article before posting. Oh, I forgot, this is slashdot.
On the first page there are links to both a win32 compiler and a linux port. Download them to read the license.
Don't expect slashdot to do your homework. If you had really been interested in evaluating this, you would have read the article before posting.
