  1. Incorrect comparison on Printing XML: Why CSS Is Better than XSL · · Score: 4, Interesting

    He is not only using a lot of CSS3 in his examples, but he is using things that does not even look to become parts of CSS3. For instance the content:target-counter was in a working draft of the css3 paged module, but have been withdrawn from the latest version.

  2. Re:Logical dissonance on Gnome 2.10 Sneak Peek · · Score: 1

    The only real statistics I've seen was done by SuSE and RedHat. They had both asked their customers what desktops they were using. Despite GNOME being default between 30% and 40% of RedHat users used KDE. The SuSE numbers were more consistent and 80% used the default KDE.

    Then apply the same rate to everyone, but first you would need to remove the incentive tax-cuts that only apply to people wealthy enough to invest.

    Think of progressive tax as a way to balance out tax-cuts.

    you'd think SOMEONE would make an XHTML 1/CSS 2 version


    Just to prevent the Windows users from seeing it? No it is better to stick de-facto standards rather than standards only implemented by _one_ vendor (Mozilla).

  8. Re:Shocking truth on SMS Text Messaging & Youth Debt One · · Score: 1

    You might want to check again. We have had them in Denmark for a year now. It started with a prepaid number of SMS per month (like 100 or so), but then one provided upped the number of prepaid to one billion, and since then many subscription based services for teenagers have free SMS.

  9. Re:as someone who knows about GA on Tuning The Kernel With A Genetic Algorithm · · Score: 1

    His code shows that adapting tuning parameters to the current workflow is beneficial even when doing it with something as rough as a genetic algorithm. And new well thought out design could use and improve the results of the genetic algorithm, even if GA is not going to be used in the final result.

    It is stable. And if you check out the new development model, you can see there will not be a 2.7 anytime soon.

    Seriously "The World Wide Web" is a pretty good bet, the have only listed email so far.

  12. Re:I utterly agree on Is Your Development Project a Sinking Ship? · · Score: 1

    Maybe that is because they don't make money in proportion to their work effort. If they are 10 times as productive they should make ten times as much, until they do that they will leave you anytime they get a better offer because they know you are screwing them.

    * The reason it happens is because it is incredible hard to convince your direct management you should have a higher wage than him. No manager will ever accept that.

    Actually torture is very well defined. It is any type of punishment/treatment with the purpose of extracting information/confession.

    Though it is often extended by common oppion to also include act of plain sadism.

    >That argument is crap

    Where is the homi? There has to a person for an argument to be personal.

    Also "Non Sequitur" is really just you trying being smart ass. If you had a point you could call it a bad analogy, rather than make yourself like stupid.

    What are you, some kind of college trash? (now _that_ is ad hominem besides true).

    In which case you have to edit the .inf files that installs the video-driver in Windows. Apparently not even you know this.

    It is in fact easier than in XFree, it just requires a reboot ;)

    That argument is crap. No process is perfect. For instance a lot of CPUs are scrapped to be able to deliver only perfectly working ones.

    I have 150% vision, but even on my 21 inch monitor I feel 1600x1200 is too small, and I seriously doubt average consumers knows how to hack XFree and .inf files to get the more decent 1400x1050 resolution.

    With a ridiculous large gap as that between 1280 and 1600 it is no wonder it takes a long time for people to upgrade.

    Actually the US has inserted more corrupt dictatorships than they have inserted democratic governments. The dictators were prefered for many years because they were less likely to turn socialist than a democratic country was.

  23. Re:the us and japan on Arthur C. Clarke Reports From Sri Lanka · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I seriously doubt CNN would carry a story of a potential catastrophy, at best they would prepare to cover it when it happens.

    The procedure would be to call the secretary of state and let them inform the proper authorities and local media in the area. What is interesting is that they _did_ call the embassies, but somehow the message didn't go much further than that.

    One important detail is that you don't use regular raisins. You should use rum-raisins. Basically you put raisins in a bottle and fill it with rum and let them sit there for at least a couple of _weeks_ preferably months. The result is rum-raisins and one of the most important ingredients in Gløgg.

    That depends on how you define democracy. In the early US not only women and slaves but also poor couldn't vote. How much different is that from the already existing british model where only the nobility could vote?
