Yeah, tables are supported, but CSS inheritance is all screwed up. Background colors in table cells aren't rendered properly if certain other elements are placed inside of them, occasionally text will inherit the color of the container's background that contains it, rendering that text invisible, and all sorts of utter crap. If you rely on anything other than the simplest of CSS behavior, count on the design being hosed. Now, most html mail will not only be annoying, it will be broken, too.
Gee, networking hardware companies want to avoid laws which might prevent the creation of an entirely new market for them - routers, filters and flow regulators that adjust the delivery speed of packets depending on manually configured technicalities rather than just routing as efficiently as hardware is able, putting technicians and programming personnel back in the loop of a field which their own hardware has practically automated, requiring new more expensive routing tools and techniques, and a whole new gob of employees to be trained, certified and rented on an hourly basis to companies that used to just have to buy simple hardware and a couple of good tech guys. I think I'm gonna be ill now.
the only markets where OS X software isn't up to par with windows are niche ones - specialized proprietary software with a small user base, or things like games.
uh, niche markets like accounting? The latest version of Quickbooks Pro for Mac is an improvement (most definitely not the crippled, half-assed version they use to promote), but it's still not not reached feature parity with the PC version and it can't work with PCs on a multi-user license, which means your office has to be all one platform or the other unless you're really comfortable importing and exporting critical data a lot. The Mac only alternatives are cool, but finding any CPA or bookkeeping firms to verify your small business accounting that accepts anything other than a Quickbooks Pro file is a monumental task.
For most individual users, there's Mac software that's as good or better than the PC otpions, but there's still a huge gap in several very important areas which are far too large and important to call niche.
While Wikipedia shouldn't ever be considered authoritative, it's pretty damned good at pointing a researcher towards other resources that can meet that strict requirement. Useful for research? yes. Irreplaceable? Not just no: hell no.
Schlotsky's representatives are saying 6% of customers surveyed in their wi-fi enabled restaurants considered the free wi-fi access critical to their decision to eat there, and up to 40% said it was a factor in the decision. I've seen statistics that said revenue per customer was up to 16% higher in wi-fi locations because folks stay longer and buy more.
Actually, if you watch the series very carefully, there ARE a couple of scenes that the sound shows up in the exterior shots of the ship. It happens when the ship is just beginning to descend into the atmosphere, or is under weaponfire from some bad guy. I assume it happens because the noise from abusing the hull can travel within the pressurized ship itself. It's a rational justification to ratchet up the adrenaline with some noise. It's all the more effective because in the deep space shots, under normal flying-around circumstances, the silence is quite in-your-face (twangy incidental music, notwithstanding). In the trailer, all the space noise that happens is under just those circumstances - re-entry or gunplay.
BTW, real scientists can spell. Usually.
(MS' smart tag gave the website owner options - Google does not)
Now that's a laugh. MS's system required every page to include specific code in order to disable their tag insertion. Yes, if you invested the time and money to re-write every single HTML document you've ever produced, MS would let you avoid having their advertisements inserted. Most widespread content-managmement systems wouldn't have allowed this capability for months or years.
If a user wants to use a gadget to create links to the content you've already presented to them, more power to them. But editing the page before the user sees is intolerable and, yes, evil.
At this point Mars is a headline. It's a recognizable and marketable target that can get press coverage and poll well, exactly the sort of thing this government understands best. The moon may be a viable mission, but the rewards are sketchy at best. The only great and unarguably useful technology that must come out of the millions(billions?) they will spend on this goose chase is new launch methodologies. That's the worthwhile goal here. A launch technology for cargo that doesn't rely on several tons of explosive materials and unimaginable physical abuse of the hardware involved would change this planet like nothing else. (Unfortunately, it looks like they are focusing on the same old methods. I don't buy the concept of the space elevator, but at least it's a new idea and worth exploring.) I wish the White House had the balls to admit that such technology itself is a worthwhile goal without relying on the pep rally sports event of putting our flag on another rock.
Spreadsheets and Databases are obviously on their way. OS X Tiger includes SQLite and Core Data (which lets developers handle relational data in memory easily, as well as import and export XML). Until then, MySQL is ready and waiting (OS X is Unix-based, after all). Apple is already encouraging developers to use these things. Just how long do you think it'll be before Apple has a nice friendly interface for consumers? How long before some enterprising third party does it for them if they don't?
So he could throw a guy into a twenty foot turbine engine.
Actually Whedon often explained that the western flavor came from a simple premise: if you were colonizing a distant planet, with limited access to supplies, manufacturing capabilities and limited contact with the outside universe, which would you rather have at your disposal - and engine that would need replacement parts and fuel, or a horse that could eat the grass and make more horses? Until 'civilization' took over, technology would be expensive and hard to maintain, horses would be cheap.
First-Person shooter versus real wargames

Infinite Games?

It seems everybody's talking about first-person shooters, which, if that's the point of this seems pretty limited to me, but imagine how much it would change a world war two simulation, where an online group of players were a single squadron. Using a system like this to manage an entire war scenario could bring strategy games to the front and knock splatter games down a peg or two.
My 8500 (circa 1996) runs OS X quite nicely, thank you very much. For a simple word processor and web browser, it doesn't have split atoms.
And with readily available software (including features built into some of the smaller web browsers), I could tell your webserver I was surfing with a '57 Winnebego and it wouldn't know the difference.
With too many crap web designers out there coding for specific browsers, it's easier to lie than to hope you pass their compatability tests.
Um, when was the last time you tried to go buy any new PC off the shelf with any Windows but XP? New hardware gets the new OS, all accross the board. But with Apples, you get the old OS too!
OS X has the Classic environment, letting folks run most old software with nothing more than a very slight performance hit. Considering that, for most folks, even that slowdown isn't noticeable, this leaves a simple observation: Folks aren't upgrading to new MS software as fast as MS would like because there isn't a compelling reason to do so. And they're complaining about Apple because Apple didn't manufacture one for them, by making all old software incompatible.
Planned obsolescence has been a recurring theme in the Windows world since Win95, and Windows wanting to move to a subscription based software model, it isn't going away anytime soon.
Once again, the market doesn't do what MS wants, therefore the market must be wrong...

Nice, but MC Hawking's 'Entropy' is so much more fun.

Aren't the best vistas usually found near the edge of a cliff?
Vista- a location that affords a panoramic overview of all the neat things you can't actually reach.

Maybe we'll finally see an OS X update for Fontographer - admittedly a niche product, but one I still have need of once in a blue moon.

This is the same website that hosts the Stop Ashlee Simpson petition. Oh, yes. We should take you seriously.
