Does the this mean that one can expect browsers to behave in a predictable manner
When there was 1 standard (HTML), browsers didn't behave predictably.
Now there are more, there is more scope for implemetations to have their quirks, not less.
Standards are large and complicated descriptions of expected behaviour. Each implementor may have a slightly different interpretation. Different implementations will have their strengths and weaknesses which make different parts of the standard easier or harder to implement fully and/or correctly. There may even be reasons why an implementor may choose to ignore part of a standard (perhaps it is difficult and he believes that users don't want or need that functionality yet).
Unfortunately, standards are an ideal to aim for, not a description of reality.
So he's testing the performance of his PCI bus, not the performance of the disk as he claims. My point stands, all these reviews are worthless because the testers do not know what they're testing.
Firstly, my router (SMC, not linksys) crashes on it's own every now and then. It's consumer grade gear, people are probably used to turning them off and back on again anyway. And it's not like the main computer is affected.
Secondly, the attack has to originate on the inside network. It's not like the script kiddiz can take out these box en masse by blasting out a load a packets. Once you visit a malicious site - if there even is a real one - you'll soon learn not to go there again.
It turned out that we were approaching the asteroid's night side, and since all asteroids are different shapes, you can't definitively say which side will be light and which side will be dark.
Erm, the side pointing towards the sun will be light, the other side will be dark.
They do know where their probe is in relation to the Sun, don't they??
The default behaviour for unix is to check for failure. Hence false returns !false to indicate that it failed to fail. true returns false to indicate that it did failed to succeed.

The great brothers are obviously Microsoft and Intel.

When the litter is overturned by the whirlwind, and faces will be covered by their cloaks, the republic will be vexed by new people, then whites and reds will judge in contrary ways.
which obviously foretells a terrorist attack by the Chinese on one of these systems.
The litter (to contemporary term for a carriage or capsule) is destroyed when the vacuum is lost and the air rushes in. The Republican president has to deal with the 'reds' aka the Chinese.

The speed is limited because of the pci interface
So he's testing the performance of his PCI bus, not the performance of the disk as he claims. My point stands, all these reviews are worthless because the testers do not know what they're testing.
It's another bullshit "hardware site" test.
The "benchmark" was a Photoshop filter on an image. It was twice as fast as with the SCSI disk.
This tells you very little about the relative performance of the drives since image processing is typically not disk bound.

Watch the movie until the end. What happened? Did the player sneeze?
Bosons are particles with no spin. When they get really cold, they act funny.
Fermions are particles with spin. When they get really cold, they also act funny.

I doubt it was your linksys that was locking up; I'm guessing it was your compiler.
Do you have the latest SMC firmware? Currently, yes. I can't honestly claim to keep update to date with patches for the non-obvious stuff though.
do you have to login twice? Nope, never had that one. How did they manage to write that bug? And how did QA miss it?

why else would you need an 80GB drive in a laptop?
Movies. Why pay for pay-per-view when you're on a business trip when you can bring 50 with you.
Of course, some of them may be porn, so your argument is partially correct.

This one does. Sort of.
Wow, imagine what it could do if coins were actually ferrous!

The article says they used their dust collectors.
Now, when it gets back to Earth, how will they know which particles came from AnneFrank and which came from Wild 2?

Do you think all these people will mind you putting their names and contact information into a huge database?
Just glue the bung in.
Capacitors are old technology, they're not going to fail legitimately, so we can work around the fault by preventing it from happening.
It is well known that Canadians have 57 words for 'snow'. So knowing which one could be needed tomorrow could be useful.
Does that require a supercomputer? Or 6 coins?
