What exactly are you looking for in a multi-column layout? Most of the time, I want the side boxes to remain a fixed width while just the content area grows.
Yes, that's what I want too.
Otherwise, percentages can work to enforce proportions.
I know, that's something I got to work.
Now I'm in quite a difficult position since I only remember I couldn't get it to work, but I forgot exactly why it was. Perhaps I should have shut my mouth, but this is slashdot after all.
Yes, most of them are fixed width -- just like most of the table-based layouts on the web are also fixed width. This is a design choice, not a technical constraint. CSS can do the standard three column layout on all browsers through a variety of methods.
Next time I need a webpage, I'll try it out. Last time I did, I didn't succeed without using a number of hardcoded width specifications that I didn't want to use.
Then again, I think that quite a few of the fixed width layouts are great too. So they don't scale out to 1000px wide. In my opinion, some of them don't have to; It doesn't detract from the experience.
That's a matter of opinion of course. But I absolutely hate fixed-width designs.
But the moral to the story is that every layout on that site is the exact same XHTML markup. The exact same. Only the CSS stylesheet changes. Can your table-based layouts do that when your company decides the web site needs a facelift, or are you hacking and slashing your logic, scripting, and markup to get it done?
I'm not doing anything, since I almost never design websites and when I do it's only for fun.
I agree 100% that separating content from presentation is the Right Thing. But I think that presentation consists of two different things, namely style and layout, and that trying to stuff layout in a stylesheet is not the best way it could be done. I might be wrong though: next time I need a 3-column website, I'll try to find a design that scales nicely. If it works without all sorts of ugly hacks, I'll change my opinion and live happy ever after.
The default one uses a scalable design, but as far as I know it's the only one that does. The others use a fixed-width design. Apparently it's not easy to create a multi-column scalable design using CSS, which really is a shame.
The reason is simple: everyone says CSS should be used for the presentation of your documents, which means styling and layout. But in fact it's only good for styling (as the name implies: cascading style sheets), not for layout. Tables are not perfect either, but they sure as hell are a lot easier to create scalable designs with.
I'm beginning to think CSS is bad by design. It's called cascaded style sheets, and I believe it indeed works quite good for defining styles.
But it's also advocated to be used for defining layout, which IMHO does a pretty bad job of. IMO with a good layout engine you should be able to define a number of blocks in the HTML-code and lay them out using the style sheet in any layout you'd like (horizontal, vertical, different order, one in front of the other,...) without changing the HTML. I've never been able to do it satisfactorily, and I think it's not completely trough a fault of my own.
Mac and Linux: Unfortunately I don't have dates for either of these. However, Linux binaries will be
available very soon after the PC game hits store shelves. There are no plans for boxed Linux games. More remains to be done for the OSX version of DOOM 3 and that will take some time. We won't release the OSX version until it's just as polished as the PC version. The date for OSX DOOM 3 remains "when it's done", but I can confirm that it's definitely coming.
I've seen that message appear when Mozilla uses more connections to the IMAP-server than the server provides.
If you control the IMAP-server you can try to increase the number of connections, otherwise make Mozilla (or Thunderbird) use less connections via Edit -> Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings. In the Server Settings for the account, click 'Advanced'. 'Maximum number of server connections to cache' is default 5, try to decrease that value.
You can download a point release for Linux and copy the game data over from the Windows version. Or copy the whole install over from a Windows machine and install the point release over it. I don't know exactly how I did it, but I've been succesful in getting it to run using that approach.
Or maybe it was a demo version instead of a point release. It's quite a long time ago.
In any case, it worked without having to buy the Linux version.

I know we have a rule like that in Belgium, but I have never heard of a case where it was enforced, except perhaps when two cars where so close to a third one that the third one could not possible get out of the parking spot anymore.
The other factor is indeed how you drive. I drive very agressively, but at the same time I get good mileage. Why is this? Well largly because I have worked on projects getting getting highmileage for years, Futuretruck. I understand what the car is doing and what to do to run it where I can get the best mileage. And often if your driving right, you will get good mileage, since making the most of your car and its potential is a very similar thing to how to get good mileage, conserving energy and so forth. Its not how powerful your car is, it's how you drive. A professional driver can roast a fool even when driving much less of a car then the fool.
You got me interested. Care to share a few tips with the/. community?
Focus development efforts on the new standalone applications: the browser currently code-named Firefox, the Mozilla Thunderbird mail/news application, and standalone composer and other apps based on the the new XUL toolkit used by Firefox and Thunderbird. We aim to make Firefox and Thunderbird our premier products.
That's what you are saying, and what I already knew. But now there's also this:
Updated: Maintain the SeaMonkey application suite, currently built by default, for enterprises and other organizations with large existing Mozilla deployments. SeaMonkey remains an important product for many customers.
Mozilla is a suite, containing a browser, a mail/news client, an addressbook, an IRC-client, a HTML editor. Hence it is quite a heavy application.
Thunderbird and Firefox are derived from the same codebase, but are much lighter since they contain much less functionality. Thunderbird is just mail/news (including an addressbook of course) and Firefox is only the browser.
What do you mean by 'removed English from the OS'? That sounds like Windows XP contains English even if it is meant for other languages, but I didn't think that's the case. I run a Dutch version, and there is no English in it.
Indeed, I have several EMI 'copy protected' CD's, and CDex (on Windows) ripped them without any problem. abcde (on Linux) didn't work quite as good, though I have to admit I didn't try very hard.
Slashdot Mirror
Actually, I like http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=04/0 8/20/1337224&tid=137&tid=163 better.
AFAIK they migrated in 2000.
And the reverse also exists, one famous example being the Mezquita in Córdoba (Spain).
OK thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

Stay away from those, they're obviously fake. There are no 250 euro bills. Only 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 and 500.

You're certainly right that either there aren't that many or that they are not visible enough.

On many sites including that one, it helps a great deal if you click 'Print this page' or something to that effect and read that instead. In this case: http://www.extremetech.com/print_article/0,1583,a= 130946,00.asp.
It was the mice. Or possibly the dolphins, but I believe it was the mice.
Lots of subway systems use rubber tires. The Paris subway, for example, switched from steel wheels to rubber tires exactly for that reason.
In that case, isn't it sufficient to press F5 to refresh the page?
