I admit I've not used DW's current iteration but in the past it's been everything but good as a WYSIWYG editor - unless it was around 10 years ago when table-based layouts were still considered OK.
I did use it for a couple of years though simply because of the check-out/tracking system and the ease of file management (which I now handle with Krusader, though Quanta has some nice upload functionality too). DW also had a nice companion program called Contribute which was good for clients, you can/could lock them down to only altering page content and leaving the "chrome" well alone.
Yeah I liked that feature, application notify ("needy state"): changing flashes from 3 to 7 and sawtooth instead of sine-wave flashes. If this were KDE3 the flashes would be settable from 0 to 256 and the flash profile would be drawable in a little dialog...
We received feedback that sometimes playback of radio streams may be inconsistent depending on network conditions. Itâ(TM)s worth noting that our understanding of this issue was greatly helped by the broad scale of usage across so many customers and network topologies and our telemetry in the Beta. Windows Media Player has made changes to make streaming playback more reliable and resilient.
Fo shizzle - apparently when your net connection is bad then streaming stuff is not consistent. Wow, insightful!! MS could have never figured that out on their own (!?).
Also clearly Windows 7 is not an OS but a distro if WMP is one of the enhancements to Win7.
You're probably right about it starting off for public information - but if facebook was limited to internal network access, or limited by password or by local IP then you're not.
Sharing information with your "friends" is not making it public any more than talking to someone on a bus is making a public declaration. You may have a low expectation of privacy for the information you've shared but it is not public.
Back when I was at Uni, prior to '98, the "facebook" was available to Uni staff and students only, it wasn't for sale in the local bookstore. Student email directories were restricted to local access only. You seem to think such information is public.. it's not highly protected but it's not in the public domain.
The reason I say Facebook is for sharing private information and personal information is that it's restricted in breadth; the whole system is (now) designed to enable you to closely manage who can see your information. Contrast MySpace pages or free (libre) access websites which are truly places for publicly sharing information.
Apparently, it will not run on FF although I haven't heard of it tested with IEtabs
The real WTF is that they commission a browser based application locked to a piece of obsolete software that was originally backed by a malignant monopoly. Why not just add in the spec "must run on 2 of Saf/Op/FF/IE under Mac and Windows OS..." they pay umpteen million x2 (always run over forecast spend limits) for their apps, don't they bother writing requirements for them?? I guess if they can't even negotiate fixed price contracts then probably the answer is no.
However since the Atari 800 and its ilk were kings the games market has grown somewhat. I imagine the cost of producing those ROM carts was pretty high against the cost of pressing a DVD.
But that means all those lawsuits against school personnel "assaulting" pupils are going to have to disappear. And that kinda requires judges that have the balls to dismiss trivial cases. And that would require appointed judges rather than elected dribbling nutcases. Do you think that will change any time soon?
Haha, you can tell you're American. A parenting problem requires different judges to be selected. The point is the parents should support the school in their aims to educate the class of pupils and instead of suing the teachers for enforcing the rules should be acting with them.
The management noted that Facebook would be, what was it, the 8th largest country in the world by population.. so it's obviously a marketing ploy to get lots of attention, then change the ToS to a socialist/collaborative (OSS-like) model as a pre-cursor to an uprising.
For example, if your name is "John Gordon Rivers" then just call yourself "Gordon Rivers" on your resume, cover letter, cv, etc. They won't need to know your real first name until you start to fill out the formal paperwork [...]
So they find someone with your name, who was at your town when you were and was accused of pedophilia & they know you tried to hide your real name. Somehow, I don't think that will help.
So you're saying Facebook (or whoever) can't sell data that include peoples images? I don't think that's true. Especially as you give "applications" the right to access your details and images, etc.. They could sell the data, for example to someone in Papua New Guinea - or that person could just make a facebook app (maybe one where you send your bikini shot and have it worked over by a professional photoshopper for free!).
PNG has no copyright laws and is not a signatory of the Berne Convention (IIRC, insert appropriate country if I got it wrong) - I doubt they require model releases.
Set up your CD as a downloadable from http://www.these-horny-skanks-are-not.pg/... using a local puppet company. You'll want to make sure that your choice of country has tight contract law so the people on the ground there don't run off with all your hard earned cash.
Facebook is specifically for private/personal data. Possibly it's more personal than even a gmail account - but do Google really claim rights to use and retain all your emails in perpetuity?
I know my firewall spends a lot of time eating pizza when it should be watching attack vectors, it gets bored writing the logs and doesn't bother registering some logins too, so I guess this should apply for larger systems.

But yes CMSs do make DW pretty obsolete IMO.
How do you tell the difference between a browser initiated GET and a user entered get? Are you using some sort of time-based testing?
I think you're cutting your market size a bit too much though, you should at least allow automation with Perl or wget.
So their nets don't have holes in them that let smaller fish out then?
These aren't new "features", they're tweaks to existing features.
Sure they're new.
PS Have you seen my new kitchen, it's awesome, it's jsut like the old one but I made some cheese on toast and put it on a plate ...
Wouldn't they get more buzz with bigger alterations - "added iptables", "created MS version of apt-get", etc...

IRC is so dated, twitter is the way forward ...
I prefer MS IE6 ... to being castrated with a pencil sharpener.

Gah, this stuff makes me angry.

But then wouldn't a non-convicted accused pedophile be attempting to do the same thing?
If people throw mud at you it sticks - whether they think you're someone else or not.
How about oscillations, decay, harmonics in swinging breasts .. preferably not male ones ..
If you really wanted to keep it private and personal, why has it left your machine?
If you didn't want me looking through your bathroom window from a ladder why did you put a window in your bathroom?
See, bad analogies aren't always about cars.

What could possibly go wrong?
Facebook is specifically for private/personal data. Possibly it's more personal than even a gmail account - but do Google really claim rights to use and retain all your emails in perpetuity?

This response requires Silverlight, please upgrade your OS.
