When I was last working on a project that required this sort of thing I evaluated a bunch of these different content editors and TinyMCE seemed like one of the best ones to me. It, unlike most and FCKEditor, converts existing textareas like HTMLArea does. This is nice in supporting browsers in a backward compatible manor. It also seemed to be alot more responsive once the graphics for the buttons had loaded up. - my 2 cents.
Laziness, Stupidity and Incompitence all fit quite well. You seem very pro Microsoft. Apparently you haven't looked at the implementation of most of their products. The interface design, and data output, among other things, reak of poor design and novice programming. Take a look at the raw data word spits out, or frontpage, or anything else. Look at the "registry." They all lead to the realization that the person tasked with writing those features didn't really know what they were trying to accomplish.
Someone stole my bike, the police didn't even care. Are you telling me that music is more important than my transportation which cost me several hundred dollars? Get your damn priorities straight.

Am I the only person who finds that Marketplace link hilarious? ( I couldn't find the exact guy's name, but I see it once in awhile on the marketplace links on slashdot.) I wonder why he's advertising his biography on slashdot?
-- I systematically moderate down people who describe their abuses of the mod and metamod system in their sigs. --
Isn't that an abuse of the moderation system?
There is no way to satisfactorially lock down a Mac laptop when the person has physical access and can take it home with them at night. I'm sorry, but you can't blame the security people for this.
While I agree with you on many of your following points, I dont' like the first couple of your sentences. If your child did indeed violate the usage policy, the last thing he needs is you vindicating him for being an asshat. He or she will grow up to be a much better person if you don't instantly protect him or her from the ramifications of their actions every time someone accuses them of doing something wrong.
or be a combination of multiple patentented invetions?
Reading the rest of the sentence, and picking out the operative word, might help you to realise my point. You can't patent the user of a blender to chop up dog food, or patent the use of a oil rig to transport orange juice. Following, you shouldn't be able to patent cookies to store customer information.
You're missing the point. This is basically stating that you can't travel back in time unless you already went back in time. You can't go back in time and change anything. It has to have already happened.
Go watch 12 Monkies. What he remembers as a child happening is what happens, because it ALREADY happened in the future he travelled from.
This would kill off every ISP. A prior post here correctly quotes the price to ISPS to be somewhere in the hundreds of dollars a month to store that kind of information on customers who only pay $40.....
While I only read the abstract, this seemed to me to be a patent that does nothing but use cookie sessions in a "new" way. (I know other people already do this with cookies.) I could be wrong, but I thought that patents had to be a new invetion, or be a combination of multiple patentented invetions?
This patent could be likened to patenting the use of a car to transport jellybeans instead of people.
But of course no mass media corporation is going to use an event like this to evaluate our disporportionate value of property over human life.
Amen brothah! People are increasingly more and more just numbers. Look at this page: news.com I was reading this article and it seemed fine until I got down to this part:
"We do question the rationale of a transaction which reduces Sun's cash hoard by 40 percent and does nothing to reignite revenue growth or profitability," Prudential analyst Steve Fortuna said in a report Thursday. "We would rather have seen the company buy back a billion shares and fire 10,000 people."
Since you're an Anonymous Coward, I'm going to assume you're not MrDomino.
My point in using that particular example was simply to point out that most people, when taught this so called superior math trick, don't learn how or why it works. Exactly the same way a student might be taught to do division on a calculator and fail to understand how the calculator accomplishes it it. This demonstrates that the problem does not originate with the usage of calculators but rather with the methodologies of teachers.
You are fully correct that there is no good use for a graphing calculator in Calculus 3. Which is exactly the reason why I shouldn't have been denied the computation history and readable input lines of the Ti-89.

Maybe if slashdot's search engine wasn't a peice of flippin' crap it wouldn't have taken so long!
This is a hoax, it does indeed create a bootable CD which brings up a nice picture of Mr. Goatse.
Don't start this flamewar again. Safari's CVS is public.

I play on KGS under this same username if you want to look me up.
Reminds me of a bad StarTrek Enterprise episode.
Actually it's called ARTIFICIAL Intelligence, because it's not True Intelligence. True Intelligence is what is being worked towards.
