display: none will actually not even download the image (or flash or whatever). So you do save bandwidth. Mozilla (or other Gecko based browser) sees display: none and then starts loading the rest of the code and for any of the markup that matches the conditions set for something that is set for display: none it will skip over that and not download the resource. You can check this by clearning your cache, and putting "img { display: none }" in your UserContent.css file and then loading up pages and if you cleared your cache and not loaded any pages inbetween the time you put that in your UserContent.css file you will notice that no images get downloaded.
I say Mozilla/Gecko based because they are the only type of browsers I know work like that. IE, Opera, etc... prolly work the same way, but I don't know because I haven't tested it like I have with Mozilla.
I'd love to side with you on this one, but Netscape is the one who started with this "enhancing" (aka screwing over) of standard HTML. As far as JavaScript goes, that yet is another Netscape "inovation".

Hmm, maybe because he generally looks as though he gets his clothes from the GoodWill and doesn't seem to have even introduced his comb to his hair. All while being the worlds richest man.
I would say that's pretty foolish;) But you are right, immoral would probably be a better description;)
Actually KDE3 and GNOME2 don't look too bad at all! But something I found stuck to the bottom of my shoe this morning looks a lot more appealing than OpenOffice.
Mod me as a troll all you want, but this is what you get when code monkeys double as UI designers.
Oh I think Bill Gates is an idiot on many levels, he just happens to be an incredibly genius businessman. For example, just because I am the "best" basketball player in the world, that does not mean that I am not an idiot. It just means that I am an extremely skilled basketball player. Just because Gates is the richest person in the world, it doesn't mean that he is not an idiot. It just means that he is an extremely skilled businessman;).
Then again the label "idiot" is very subjective. So I guess it doesn't really matter:p

I don't think the issue is accepting tabacco/alcohol ads that are targetted towards children. The issue is that they don't want to accept ads from an industry that, on a whole, targets those types of products to children.
There's many who have cited the idea that they get bored with their character, and want to go try something new, so they make an alt. But when they get bored with their alt, they want to return to the main character.
Basically, this says "I'd like to play the game starting over, but I want you to keep around all the past data that a character makes up." Well, that's storage space that someone else doesn't get to use, for one thing. It sits, inactive and unused, until you want to come back to it. Yes, other games have offered this. But it isn't as expensive for them as it is for us.
Quake3's only difference between Win and Lin was the binary executable
This is the same with Unreal Tournament. So you are able to download the Linux executable for free, and use your Install CD for the rest of the files (the same CD you use with windows).
With Unreal Tournament 2003 it is able to install to Linux or Windows out of the box.;)
The difference is this, in an MMORPG your having an avantage over other players is FAR less a burden to other players (except on the PvP, player vs. player servers). There are thousands of players, a static world (regardless of what sony claims), millions of things to hunt, etc... There is little you can do to change the gaming expirience of other players. Yes there are things you can see that others cannot and get to those things faster unfairly, and in that instant it does become a burden to other players. But for the most part it doesn't affect the gameplay of other players (again, on non-pvp servers).
With a game like Quake or Unreal Tournament you are playing with a dozen people or so, or less, and the gaming expirience you have is directly affected by those players. Someone having an unfair advantage over the other players is a HUGE burden to other players and drasticaly affects their gameplay.
The main reason people bitch in MMORPGs about other players having an unfair advantage over them is jealousy. Jealousy disguised as concern for other players.
If anything the ShowEQ developers should prevent the program from working on PvP servers, because that is one case where it does drastically affect other players' gaming expirience in a negitive way.
And Sony should be warned to stop thinking with their ego. Because if they don't like a few hundred or so people using it, I don't think thousands upon thousands of new users are going to please them to say in the least.
He wants users to have a choice. I'm sure he'd like to see the world running PicoGUI, but as of now he hasen't shown a wanting of hindering users' choice in order to accomplish that goal, as, according to him, the X developers have done.
Well what do you expect me to use? I'm looking for a pretty, easy to use, easy on the eyes, GUI environment. I can get those things in Windows and BeOS and still have the speed I want, yet I can't within Linux,/that/ is why I am not using it on my desktop.

Is that not the ugliest thing you've ever seen?
Do you have a 3dfx card?
I got a GeForce3 ti200. And nVidia is a DirectX whore so I doubt it that.
if Linux interface developers are going to rip anyone off, it should be Apple
I agree, the only problem is that Apple is willing to sue anyone who rips off their interface, and has threatened those who've tried.
All I know is that in Unreal Tournament (a game designed for DirectX), when I enable the "experimental" OpenGL mode my framerate doubles, if not more.
