I know i'm going to get the 640k quote from this, but who really needs a laptop with more than 3 gigs of memory? That's got to be an extremely small market, and if it's a major engineering feat to accomplish it (either through architecture changes, or providing 15 slots for RAM chips), then I don't think it's worth their time to try and do it.
Just for fun, I did JFGI. We get a few solutions. Dual/triple Boot, Use a VM so you can run multiple OSes, Use multiple computers, and the final one, Mess around with a bunch of DLLs, renaming a bunch of them, and doing a bunch of other stuff. I'm not even sure how this would affect your history/bookmarks/other personal information since IE likes to keep everything in one specific place. Maybe you could hack the registry to change this. Why doesn't MS provide a way for developers to simply install a bunch of different versions of IE, instead of having to mess around with stuff like this?
But why not use the equivalent of John Smith, or John Doe? Even giving your real name, provided you don't give any other information doesn't really help to identify you that much. Depending on your name, it might be harder to identify you by your real name, than if you had used a pseudonym that nobody else uses.
Where I'm from, technically it's not illegal for women to go topless in public. You see, it's sexist to say that men can do it, and women can't, and they couldn't very well say men couldn't go topless (what about the beach), so the had to say women could go topless. In reality, very few do, and I don't recall if i've seen it after the 6 month time period following the point where it became legal, but the point is, is that it is legal.
. You can purchase cable packages that don't have porn. You can even choose not to buy cable at all, and just watch broadcast. You can be pretty sure that there's nothing objectionaly on broadcast channels while your kids are awake. You can order all the channels, and then tell it to block everything above a certain rating. I'm pretty sure there are mandatory ratings on everything now. However, there's no way to just purchase access to the "good" part of the internet. The best you can do is get some filtering software that uses whitelists/blacklists to say which sites you can go to. Whitelists suck because, the list is too big, and keeping it up to date is impossible. Blacklists suck for the same reason. So, I guess the answer is, either don't get the internet, sit there with your child while they are using the internet, or give them an extremely small list of sites they can visit via a whitelist.
Also, it's important to note that the software will eventually become out of date, and they hope that they have already hooked you. University is a great time to experiment with open source software, because money is slim, and you have lots of time to tinker with it. They are hoping that people won't have to worry about using open source software when they are getting tons of closed source software for so cheap.
I think that Jobs could make much more money on licensing the Fairplay scheme to other music stores. Sure iTunes may lose some users, but I think that on a whole, digital music sales would go up if we could get all players and all stores using the same format. Since Apple accounts for the vast majority of online music sales, I think that FairPlay is a good candidate. However, I'd rather have an open DRM free codec like ogg vorbis or flac, but that's just me. Until then, I'm buying CDs. No DRM, High Quality, music can be transfered to any player.
Using frameworks that don't let you hack down at HTML,CSS and JavaScript level to me seems like it will end up working like MS's ASP.Net. Drag a bunch of controls on a page, and everything is supposed to work fine. Until it doesn't. I think that using frameworks that give you most of the functionalilty that most people need, however, like I said, if you're planning on either doing a large number of projects or using a lot of AJAX in a large project, that it's better to have something that you know you can modify easily. When people tell me that I shouldn't concern myself with low level stuff, I ask, what happens when I have to? Having a framework that you control from the top to the bottom makes doing things at the bottom a lot easier. However This isn't a good solution for everybody, but it is an option to consider. If you are only using a little bit if AJAX, it can also help to build your own, because it can be small and do exactly what you need it to do, without being overly confusing.
If you plan to use lots of Ajax, it's probably better to build your own framework rather than using 3 different ones so that you have all the functionality you need. There really isn't all that much to AJAX, and it's not to hard to build your own framework to support all the features you need.
My fix was to actually hide the select box when the div went over it. It was a menu system, when you hover on the menu, it shows stuff under that menu. Pretty standard feature on many web pages. Anyway, you basically iterate through all the selects in the page with getElementsByTagName, and then check if they are located under the div, and then display that. Kind of weird when it's only being half covered, and you can see it disappear, but it works better than having it show up on top of the menu.
Why did you choose that project then? For my final year project, my group worked on an app for a company, but we were also allowed to come up with our own ideas and implement them "for the general market". Many people did this. If your university doesn't allow this, then it's probably a good idea to talk to them about why they don't allow students to come up with and implement their own ideas as a final project.
With so many people using different versions of IE, why not make it possible to install 2 different version of the browser, especially for the sake of web developers? What options are open to developers who now want to code against IE 7, but don't want to abandon users of IE6. Are the only options to have 2 computers, or 1 computer running a virtual machine?
But what if I place 1000 transactions for $25. How much money is that? Also, many people wouldn't even notice small transactions on their statement. If you went to an airport and collected 1000 credit card numbers, and then used each one of those once per month, for a $25 transaction, then you're spending $25,000 of other people's money, and they won't even notice it's missing.
I find this to be an important question, because it seems to me that IE is playing catch-up, and hasn't actually implemented anything that all the other browsers don't have. Most of the competitors have more features. Will we get an upgrade to IE in a year, or will MS wait another 5 years before releasing an upgrade, leaving it's browser even further behind the competition.
This solution, and the one your sibling poster pointed out, do stop keyloggers, but don't stop the general case of software on the client machine that monitors what they are doing. You could just as easily write a program that records mouse clicks, and screen shots, to see what they are clicking on. Maybe just record a square 128x128 pixels centred around the cursor, and save it compressed in 16 colours so you wouldn't have to store so much information. Maybe they could just attach something to whatever module is being called to encrypt the information for sending it over ssl, so they record all the information that you are sending out over ssl. The point is, is that it's impossible for the person designing the website to protect against malicious software running on the users machine. If the machine is insecure enough to have a keylogger, it's hard to say what other kinds of software may be presesnt on the machine.
I hope they fixed the fact that you can't get anything (like a floating div) to show up on top of a no matter what you set the z-index as. I'm pretty sure that I heard they fixed it, yet I haven't gotten around to trying it yet.
How exactly do you propose to stop this? How do you make a web site that's immune to the threat of keyloggers, or in the more general sense, programs on client's machine that monitor what they do, either keypresses, or mouse clicks and screenshots?
This is my point. You'd still have to protect against stores with faulty boxes on the network, sending requests for transactions with numbers that have just been obtained before, or people creating duplicate cards with the same information. However, that requires a little bit more savvy than buying a usb dongle for $500 off some shady website (they'd wanna make a profit), hook it up to your laptop, and start getting plaintext names, numbers and expiry dates that could be used for any website to buy other stuff. It wouldn't be infallible, but would protect a lot more than the system they got.
Well, according to wikipedia, the size of Delaware is 6 square Kilometers. If it gave us an easy to way get things into orbit, I think that it would be worth giving up such a small piece of land.
I think that the reason that we have no space elevatos is the same reason that we haven't been to the moon in 30+ years. Nobody has made it a priority. Kenedy made it a priority to get to the moon, and NASA got the necessary funding. Lately presidents haven't been willing to spend so much money on space exploration, but would rather spend money on things like national defence.
Wouldn't it make more sense to leave all the information on the credit card encrypted, have the information left encrypted and sent to the credit card company, still encrypted, and only be able to decrypt the information at the credit card company? It seems to me that even if you need physical access to copy the number it's still not that secure. It would make much more sense to have a card that's blank and devoid of any identifying information than to have something that just about anybody can get the information off of.
But what is the purpose of tagging a story if it isn't for searching. Sure it's kind of funny (to some) for about 5 seconds when you see it tagged as "wretchedhiveofscumandvillainy", but really, what's the point. When you tag a story properly, you can make things easier to search, and give information to the readers. However when you try to be funny, all you're doing is adding useless tags that nobody will care about 10 minutes later. I think that the whole idea of tagging should be left up to the editors. I find that it's just the editors trying to get the community to do their work. Really the should be able to tag the stories themselves.
I believe the official quote is "Thou shalt not kill", but anyway I sort of see your point. God says do not kill, but if you look at the story of Noah, it's God causing a flood and wiping out a whole bunch of people. Kind of a do as I say, not as I do kind of system if you ask me. Same thing with the crusades. The whole time they were preaching about not killing, and a whole lot of killing went on. Oh, and then there's the whole One God commandment, so they made up the whole idea of the holy trinity of 3 entities (God, Jesus, Holy spirit) that are really just 1 god. So that we could still worship Jesus, with really worshiping 2 gods. Jesus was the son of god, but he is also god? Kind of a stretch in logic there.

sorry, i meant to type 6000, either way, it's a small piece of land if the space elevator works as well as it should.
Well, CSS3 is still in draft, so they may not have even started working on that.
