And, you wouldn't even need Slashdot to initiate an outgoing connection to get the custom stylesheet. You would only need all the pages to output the appropriate href in the link element, which could easily be to a different site.
In this fashion I could easily make a stylesheet which looks exactly like the company intranet, and those suckers who look at my screen would think I'm hard at work.
Of course why do this all on the server? Firefox lets you select the stylesheet on the client side. If it just put in the ability to select stylesheets other than those choices specified in the page, it could do exactly what we are talking about, without Slashdot having to do anything but use CSS.
Wouldn't the fact that the documents are in a well-structured XML format make indexing pretty easy already?

They already write it in DocBook, dumb-dumb.;-)
The question which is being asked, is when you convert it to HTML, should it be plain old boring HTML, or should it use CSS? IMO it should use CSS since the stylesheet for converting DocBook to HTML would be simpler.

Just a thought, but maybe these browsers didn't follow the guidelines which tell you what to do when things aren't recognised? If that was the case the fault lies on Microsoft, not W3C.

Those all sound more like good examples as to why nobody should ever use IE5.

Now that is an intuitive bootloader "menu."
If you built one of these into a cube, you could colour the sides differently and boot a different OS depending on which side of the cube is facing the top!
*tilt* Windows *tilt* Linux *tilt* BSD... now if only you could do that at runtime as well.:-)
Actually the most expensive component of my desktop is the box itself. So that's not exactly unusual, except that the box in this case is made of cardboard, not steel.
Well... I guess you could use gtk-qt-engine to make the remaining Gtk apps *look* like Qt... but getting the feel to match would be impossible.
Anyway personally I'm chuffed about this decision. It's nice to see the toolkit which seems easier to use, becoming more supported. Qt makes C++ almost palatable.;-)
But with those newer refactoring tools, they also present you enough information in the user interface that you don't need to use stupid Hungarian notation to figure out if something is a String.
If you hover over a variable called "name" and it says "type: String", it's pretty obvious what it's called without having to rename it to "lpszName".
Would someone like to point out how this is informative? That post was Bruce describing how he is not anti-Qt. Novell is not anti-Qt either. So... I don't get it.
The best thing about this name is that if NASA ever develop teleportation technology, they can integrate it into the next version and call it "Instant MESSENGER."
On a personal note as a fairly avid gamer, multiplayer games generally only interest me if there is a cooperative facet to the game. I was incredibly sad to see that Doom 3 decided not to put in cooperative gameplay despite the fact that Doom 1 and 2 both had it.
I gather Half-Life 2 won't have it either since the original Half-Life didn't, but hopefully the Sven Coop team will come up with something to rectify the situation.
The ideal game in my mind at the moment would probably be some kind of two-player 3D Thief-like game with puzzles which require player cooperation to be solved.
I think in an age where almost every gamer has an internet connection, making a cooperative-only game would not be as big a risk as you might think.
Indeed. That game is incredible but unfortunately it seems to be the only good game on GG which doesn't run on Linux. Join the crew and object to them in email like I have.:-)

The difference between having no stylesheet and having a stylesheet which the browser can't access, is zero.
If they used CSS, you could still save the HTML, and it would still look exactly the same.

consider the case when you have variable names with similar starting/ending.
Consider using the "Match whole word" checkbox.
It's pretty ironic that people use variable names like m_var, sm_var and g_var, and then whinge about Ruby having var, @var and @@var.

Well strictly speaking there is at least one apparently-new Mario game for the GBA, even if it has Luigi in it too and isn't a 2D platformer.
But I agree with the point you were trying to make, that they really have beaten the SNES game port horse to death.
And their recent answer? "Hey, let's start porting NES games instead!" Fan-fucking-tastic.

Oh, it has an ending. It comes when they shut down the servers.
Well if remakes suck then there is no way I'm buying Doom 3 or going to see Dawn of the Dead in the cinemas.
