So anyone who wants a three or four year old PC can have on for the asking. and if they work it right can have hundreds of them.
Do you have any CRT monitors with a D-sub15 port on the back of them? This is as opposed to the CRTs that have a permenantly attached video cable. I hate those permenantly attached cables; if they break, the whole CRT has to be chucked. With the detatchable ones, you can just replace the cable.
A nice added side-effect is that the CRTs with such ports tend to be very high quality and often include BNC connector ports too!
So anyway, I'd like to take any CRTs off your hands that have D-sub15 ports in the back.:-)
Except that the whole point of using a simplified SGML (HTML) on the WWW was to separate content from presentation - a fact maybe forgotten, but even more important now what with the spread of WWW content to different classes of devices
I don't buy this. (X)HTML w/ CSS already does a pretty good job of separating content from presentation. However... you're still, um, specifying presentaton. Guess what? The presentation part (CSS) is where you specify font info. Here's an example line from my site's CSS:
BODY.fancy { font-family:"Arial", sans-serif; }
Why is it I shouldn't be able to say what font, or what kind of font, I'd like my content to be displayed in, again?
Now, speaking with my user hat on: Why is it the site designer shouldn't be able to say what font, or what kind of font, they'd like their content to be displayed in, again? I WANT them to do this so their site doesn't look like shit.
I just don't really like the colour spectrum. It's not very intuative. I guess 'black = crap' is, but beyond that, it's tough to remember that red = good or blue = average or green = a-bit-above-average, etc. I'd rather see a fade from one light colour to another dark colour, say light red to dark green. That would be more intuative, and have the side-effect of helping colourblind people because the lightness of the colour would also be modified.
No, I'm not talking about the slider along the top, I'm talking about the blobs of colour to the left of each submission.
The reason they don't like this is because the state will be a customer with the collective bargaining power of potentially every resident in the state, and therefore it will be the network providers who have to either give the state a good deal or go home without a lucrative contract.
Once the network is built, how long do ya think it'll be before some braindead governor comes along and sells it off to Verizon at al? The trouble is, it only takes one dumb decision like that to lose public infrastructure, and it pretty much never comes back. No US politician ever re-publicizes anything.
Come on, have some sympathy. First Slashdotters say that big artists should make most of their money from live performances. Then why they try to make millions that way, you deny them that too!
You forgot the tax charged to every internet user in the world, to be paid to all RIAA member companies. This will ensure that a steady stream of quality IP continues to flow from creative American minds.
I recently switched back from a Logitech Marble Trackball to a Mighty Mouse. I love trackballs, but the deal breaker was the tiny nipple on the later that allows you to scroll through documents in 360-degrees (and I do scroll around a lot).
I'd bet that's not from a C# book. It's from a C# with.NET book, one of the 99% C# books on the market. If you just want to learn the C# language, though, I highly recommend C# Essentials. It cuts out pretty much all the.NET crap that consumes 95% of those 1000+ page books, and explains clearly the C# language in a concise way, using about as much space as The C Programming Language - just my style.
For.NET, just use online MSDN documentation. Much quicker and easier that way.
The tests were ordered by Secretary of State Debra Bowen, who has until Friday of next week to decide whether to decertify any of the machines for use in the upcoming Presidential primary election."
Looks like she won't need to decertify any, then. They'll all be able to deliver the Republicans the next election.:-P
Interesting that gaming on TV seems to be coming back into vogue. In the UK, we used to have a show called GamesMaster, which was quite fun. People would try to complete 'challenges' issued by the games master (bizarrely played by Patrick Moore, with a distorted head). The only one I actually remember was someone trying to complete a track on the SNES version of Mario Kart in a certain time.:-)
It was pulled because some people at the channel thought gaming on TV wasn't wanted by anyone.
Interesting, but at the end he bashes exceptions whilst conveniently forgetting to suggest any kind of workable alternative. Without exceptions, you end up with nested if's and/or a doSomething-checkError-doSomething-checkError pattern that looks horrid.

You didn't say photography on photography sites. You said THE WEB.

You don't want lossless for the web.
What are you smoking? Most sites now, with rich colours all over the place, would be screwed with lossless compression and look like shit.
Maybe you mean you don't mind a 256-colour palette (GIF). Well you can live with it, but it aint great. I try to use PNG everywhere I go.
The only thing JPEG is really missing is transparency.
And animation. And lossless images.
They've made what appears to be a legally binding promise they aren't going to dick people over this one
Legally binding? Bear in mind that MS openly flaunted antitrust law in several continents, and pretty much got away with it.
I've got a different take on this.

Where'd you get 2002:: from? I thought IPv4-mapped addresses were ::ffff::IPv4 address.
the first human that will live to see 200 is probably already alive.
Pfft. Methuselah lived 969 years.

Windows 98 required regular phoning home to MS?
You've GOT to be kidding me. Zapp Brannigsn is the most fucking annoying Futurama character.
But at least they don't have to sit thru all that anti-piracy bullshit.

Who said she stayed the whole night?
What exactly does Ms Bowen need until next Friday to fucking think about?
Perhaps they can now modify the sourcecode to make it secure?
And please, can we quit calling them "computer security researchers"? What's wrong with hackers?
In popular culture, the word hacker has become a euphamism for 'black-hat hacker'. They need to indicate that these guys are white-hats.

What's the going rate for Hungary judges, a nice pastrami on rye?
It all depends on how hungary they are.
Kansas has effectively told the RIAA to fuck off.
Ahhh, 'effectively'. That one little word that separates fantasy from reality.
