No, if you don't like it, tell them why. When else are you going to get the chance to give input on how you want a major Web browser to work and actually be listened to? I doubt that you have or ever will have that chance with Internet Explorer or Netscape.
What sources are out there for people like me? Technical people who need a little help making artistic choices.
I had always been horrible at picking out color schemes for sites until I discovered this site. That's right, a fabric/thread/crafts site.
What I have found works quite well is to find a color you want to theme your site around (pine green, for example) and go to that thread's color family page. Voila! A group of colors that complement your color, and the hex codes for the colors are in the source code.
Also, another great tool is the color schemer. There used to be an online version, but I can't find it anymore.
Pretty intuitive, and just in case you didn't get it, there's a bit of verse to explain it: "Weather ball red, warmer weather ahead / Weather ball blue, colder weather in view / Weather ball green, no change foreseen / Color blinking bright, rain or snow in sight."
These kinds of verses are almost never intuitive. For example, what if I remembered it as:
Weather ball red, colder weather ahead Weather ball blue, warmer weather in view Weather ball green, rain or snow is foreseen Color blinking bright, no change in sight.
4. And most importantly, it will cost M$ a good chunk of change every time we buy one!
Which do you think costs Microsoft more: you giving them $200 for an XBox, or you NOT giving them $200 for an XBox which then remains unsold? That's what I thought.
So the cops can get me for that up up down down left right left right code?
An interesting aside about the Konami code - you can find out how popular a kid was by asking him about that sequence. If he says it was "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B Start", you know he didn't have as many friends as the one who would say "Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A B *SELECT* Start," because the select put it into 2-player mode and the kid who didn't say 'select' was obviously playing alone.
There once was a man from Japan Whose poems would rhyme but not scan. When asked why this was He said "It's because I try to fit as many syllables into the last line of each poem as I possible can."
As for Haiku:
Hash - bang - path to Perl Print words to screen: hello world Camels hate winter.
There. The first two lines almost rhyme, it's 5-7-5, and I got a seasonal reference in the last line.
because it will be the fifth console from nintendo
Now, call me crazy, but I seem to remember a sixth console called the Nintendo 2 from the early 90's, but I can't find confirmation of this on the Web. It seems like it was just an NES in a different case. Can anyone back me up here?
That's the same reason given by different organizations for Ogg Vorbis not being supported by many of the current MP3 players and popular software not being ported to Linux: We ARE the fanatics.
...MS product specific (PeePee, MS Worse, Eksell...)...
This, gentlemen, is a fine example of when MS bashing begins to obscure the actual meaning of the post. I sat for a good 15 seconds going, "What the heck is PeePee? And is there an MS Better?" But I suppose that some people think it's cool to juvenilize Microsoft, or M|cr0$ux (depending on your maturity level).

I believe the article was referring to romance in the sense of exploration, seeing new territory. For example: moving West on the Oregon Trail was certainly romantic, but it more than likely wasn't *romantic,* what with all of the buffalo dung and such.
Slashdot Mirror
I'll second that. I've saved every sent and received email since June of 2002, and the total size is now around 65MB.
I actually ended up writing a POP/IMAP webmail program to consolidate all of my email in a MySQL database (shameless plug for Toby Web Mail).

Why not just use RegExp to check for keywords?

Insightful??? How is this anything resembling insightful??
1. Get several million dollars for capital.
2. Deposit in savings accounts.
3. Wait for interest to accumulate.
4. Return initial millions.
5. Profit!
Easy as pie, and 100% guaranteed to turn a profit each and every time. Any investors?
