does this sound suspiciously like an advertisement for YSlow in book form?
What's suspicious about the fact that a book written by the creator of YSlow addresses the very issues that YSlow, a free open source Firefox extension, addresses? It would be pretty strange if it didn't.
If you want to be so paranoid about the intentions of an author, at least find one it's reasonable to be suspicious about in the first place.
Currently it is not suitable for users. The state of the software at the moment is pre-alpha. If you order a Neo1973, DO NOT expect to be able to use it as an everyday phone until October 2007 at the soonest, and probably later.
Not exactly an alternative if you want to be able to make phone calls, is it?
They were using "smiley" face symbols long before we used them on computers. "Teletype" - used these many many years before the 1980s.
What are you wittering on about? Teletypes are computer terminals. Computers did exist before the 1980s, you know. I can assure you that, when I used Teletypes connected to minicomputers in the 1970s, nobody used the:-) smiley face. Perhaps it hadn't been invented yet...
Maybe someone should tip them about the internet standards while they're at embracing the open source philosophy. Talking about Firefox and Yahoo! mail here. You know the score.
Yahoo! Mail works just fine on Firefox. Given that web developers inside Y! tend to develop first on Firefox, and most use it as their primary browser (the rest being Safari users), it would be surprising if it didn't.
I mean, I know you're just a trolling AC, but at least try.
Free housing in an area dorm (usually with private rooms)
Free gym membership
Free MetroCard (gets you on any bus or subway in New York)
Free soft drinks
Free lunches
Free weekly social events. 2005 events included attending a Yankees game, a boat trip around Manhattan, walking tours, museum trips, two Broadway shows, a movie opening, and parties.
Opera was one the last major browser that didn't support client-side XSL transformation.
With the upgrade, Opera added the support, which in my view is more important than some milliseconds.
Unfortunately, they didn't bother implementing the whole of the standard: they don't have support for the document() function, which is pretty much essential to any non-trivial XSLT application.
Out of curiosity, has anybody tried banning all the editors, and if so, what does the homepage look like? Do the left and right sidebars collapse together, or is there a big river of empty space down the middle? (Rushes off to experiment...)
On the other hand, the first computer "animation" I ever saw was on the VDU attached to my school's PDP-8/e: by outputting an I, then backspacing and overwriting it with an O, then repeating, it gave the impression of a spinning disk:-)

Everyone's 'always on' now so dynamic IP is pointless.
I don't know who this "everyone" is of whom you speak, but I'm with one of the biggest ISPs in the UK and they use DHCP; I have no guarantee of what my IP address will be from one day to the next. I could probably pay extra for a static IP, but it's not worth the money.
If you mean "everybody leaves their home network running at all times so they never lose the IP address they got via DHCP when they first turned their cable modem on", then you're ignoring the effect of network outages, power failure, and the fact that if I'm going away I turn all electrical kit off, as I don't want an electrical fire destroying my home and endangering the lives and property of the other people who live in this building.
There aren't enough IPv4 addresses for every Internet user; I reckon that, in term of individual users, it's a small minority worldwide who have a static IP address.
Given the number of duplicate stories, grammatical errors and spelling mistakes that get through the submissions process, to suggest that degree of intentionality on the part of the editors is bordering on the realms of fantasy:-)

Absolutely, it's appalling that when I want to replace the drive in my MacBook I have to:
Reverse the procedure using the new hard drive and I'm done.
Damn you Apple, how dare you make my life such a misery.
(Now to start Googling on how on earth I replace the hard drive in my Toshiba - the computer that's actually broken...)
You must be new here...
Yes, all they got was:
Doesn't seem that shabby...

NP :-)

Or you could just change your preferences so you don't see stories posted by him, or any other editors you don't like.
But you can't do that with a Teletype...

To stay properly true to the original, it should just be a film of a roll of paper coming out of a Teletype.
I don't necessarily want a dump before I set off; it's the nutters one encounters on the Tube that scare me shitless by the time I get to work.
Hey! That escort service has the same phone number as the girlfriend!
Tim Berners Lee now thinks he got it wrong; he now believes that URIs should have had the form http:com/example/blah/, rather than http://blah.example.com/.

You are correct.
Given that the very first response has the title
You want Google Notebook and a PDF printer I'm surprised at your surprise .(OT, but why did the guy who created Slashdot's CSS format inline <quote> as a block element? That's what <blockquote> is for.)
And now you know you were wrong.
Not since last year.
That'll teach you to post via Wi-fi...
