Firefox is wonderful, but it isn't the Second Coming
Shit, don't let Asa hear you say that or he'll have a horde of fanboys gearing up to brand you.
The main problem is that you have a bunch of talented but young coders with shitheads hanging on their coat-tails repeatedly telling them how wonderful they are. Eventually, they will believe the hype about themselves and think they can do whatever they like and simply can't understand that a lot of people don't care about/don't like what they are doing.
Jeezus, how seriously can you take a review that can't tell the difference between a movie player (Quicktime) and a consumer-grade video editing application (iMovie)?
iDVD isn't a DVD writer, it's a DVD authoring app. Finder burns data DVDs directly.
And what is Microsoft Write (productivity/office software column)? The last time I used XP it was Wordpad and Notepad.
I spent 3.5 years working in an IBM/Lotus shop as a web designer and I can tell you that trying to get Domino to create anything like decent webpages is a fucking nightmare.
It generates a whole bunch of garbage HTML and it isn't easy to stop if from doing so, immediately negating the "ease of use" bullshit so consistently spouted by Notes devs.
No, Notes/Domino is a piece of shit as a web development paltform. Perhaps if IBM had got Garnet right and actually released it with R6, then it would have made a really useful datastore with good JSP support, but as it stands, it's still firmly rooted in 1998.
A geek-ned? Is that like "Aw whit,maaan. I jist goat wan a theym Apple's man. But ah pure cannae get any games fur it doon the barras"?
The problem with the advert was all about bad photoshopping, so you might well be right.
Don't forget that this is the company that uses a very badly retouched Apple G4 Titanium Powerbook in its AMD64 adverts.
I was waling down a street in Glasgow last week and saw it in a bus shelter. You could even see where the *artist* had tried to cover the Apple logo on the lid.
So what does, "We won't forget this.", mean exactly? Next you'll invade Aberdeen to get access to (what's left) of north sea oil in a bid to liberate the Scots from the yoke of Blair the dictator?
Bullshit. If Google really gave a fuck, they'd at least be accessible. None of their sites include accessibility feature. Orkut is the worst. Fuck Google.
More likely it was just the fact that her character voice matured over the seasons. Check out how Prof. Farnsworth or Bender's voice has changed from season one of their show. As for Hermes' voice: that was all over the place for the first few episodes. (Mind you, Phil LaMarr is a great voice actor and Hermes wasn't originally supposed to be Jamaican.)
Then your friend is an idiot. The iPod is Mac or Windows, not both. If it is formatted to work on a Windows box, it will need to be reformatted for the Mac.
If memory serves me correctly, my uncle who served in the Royal Navy (and was prone to shenanigans so he may have been pulling my chain) told me that it stems from when they used to just shout into pipes that ran from one part of the ship to the other. Obviously in this case it is via the net.
Nothing to to with the pitch or timbre of his voice.
Difference of opinion. It still seemes to me that you are talking about meaning as it applies to humans. I know I prefer matching against elements rather than attributes when I'm writing XSLT.
For the record I don't really care which way this one falls. XHTML2 is still a long way off and an even longer way from being supported widely enough to be useful.
Nothing semantically special about link text? Doesn't that fact that it is acting as the anchor of the link make it semantically significant? Or are you thinking in wholy human-readable terms?
All it needs is the ability to convert between metric and imperial and perhaps resisting the temptation to gold-plate (figuratively speaking) everything your space boffins produce.
Balls: then we'd get the sham that passes for mass media in the US. It's bad enough we have to put up with the crap pumped out by Channel 5, ITV and Sky.
The BBC is about as trustworthy as broadcast journalism can get.

Chortle, perhaps you plebs use Windows. Some of us want better.

Credibility? What credibility?

you should see his "has wrote" beauty in the Timothy Miller story. Do we need to club together to buy Hemos a course in English?
"has wrote" Mod me down if you like, but this is bad writing. Since when did being an editor with poor language skills become OK?
Dang, beat me to it.
Screw karma. Correcting this mistake is never offtopic.

Look, if you can't afford a Mac, stop bitching about it. I'm sick to the back teeth of this idea.
Really.

You're a funny man. Go militia boy go!
Don't forget their other campaign: Ignore Camino.
Sure. Cut your nose off to spite your face. Dumbass.

Hiccough is another spelling.

Alex Borstein did the voice of Lois and others. Incidentally wasn't there talk of a feature length Family Guy?

Unlikely. We'd have to fit the same crash bas to people/dogs/prams the list goes on...
