Or the cyclist needs to learn how to obey the law and stop at the stop sign.
Granted, that is a state link, but I was under the impression it was a federal law, or at the very least a widely adopted state law. Bycicles are a legal vehicle of the road and as such they should follow the same rules that motorized street-legal vehicles do. Of course, you can't ride a bike in an area with a minimum speed higher than you can maintain, such as an Interstate Highway.
Anywhere we want to cut could contain within it an airbag ready to deploy. Why not pop the hood and quickly disconnect the negative battery terminal to disable all electronics? Assuming the "jaws of life" are needed to get someone out of the car, the hood is probably partially or fully removed from the car (maybe).
With some things you might be right. But, I work for a small company that is growing rapidly. We provide "broadband support" for customers of small cable companies. We are an insourcing company (as opposed to the companies who are outsourcing their tech support to us).
Here's the suprising concept: we're based in the U.S., not in India or Mexico. Ironically, there's talk of customers in other countries.
Our current building is quickly running out of cubical space. Solution? Work from home! Now I just need to find a way to pitch it to the execs...
You didn't look hard enough. The same CSS positioning I mention on my website using a combination of left, right, top, and bottom, along with overflow: {scroll|hidden|auto} and position: {absolute|relative}. You can view the CSS too. If you look at my site you will notice that the width for the content expands as the page expands in size but the width of the menu does not expand horizontally only vertically (as needed). It is very possible to do what you want to do. Here's what you need to do:
Enclose the images and text in a div tags. Assign an id to the div so it can be identified in a external CSS file. Enclose each item - image, text, image - in a div tag too with an id to identify them. The HTML should look something like this:
how many people really try to code decent, standard-following web pages, and how many just code for IE6.
Bzzt. Oh I'm sorry, you failed to put that in the form of a question.
All joking aside, I code standard-following web sites. Not that I count much in a world full of billions of people, but you might be interested in knowing that the developers of WordPress, a very popular piece of blogging software (at least in the blogging communities), conforms to XHTML1.1 Transitional and CSS 2 validity.
CSS does mundane and complex styling, but it is not, to my understanding, meant to replace tables exclusely. You had trouble getting a three column layout to work? Apparently you didn't take a look at CSS positioning. As for the "little space as possible" problem: not sure exactly what you're wanting to do but you can use width and min-width (minimum width), in addition to the CSS positioning I mentioned.
Want a header with centered text and left/right flanking images? Easily accomplished with several lines of structured code. I would provide an solution but I'm not sure how you're want it to be done. If you take a look at my website's CSS you can see it is very possible to use CSS to design an entire site.
The best way to stay with (X)HTML/CSS compliance is to use the free (X)HTML validator and CSS validator provided by W3C. Also remember that using working drafted status technologies such as CSS3 is not advised since most browsers do not yet support it, whereas with XHTML 1.1 nearly all support it.
On an unrelated note, I was worried by posting my website address here I would get slashdotted, but I just read that my web host provider increased my bandwidth gb/month to 5x the original.
'We're taking quite a holistic view.' When I first read that I thought he said holocaustic view. That would explain all this nazism of controlling in how we view content.
It's not that they're using a fixed width that is the problem, and the main reason they're using it is so users won't see it smaller than it really should be. Instead of using width (like I assume they're using) they should be using min-width. As the name implies, this would set a minimum width (as I use on my website'sCSS.
HTML is for structuring the document, CSS is for styling it.
Buy a washable, preferrably clear, curtain. Wash it reguarly in the clothes washing machine. Clear is important because you can start to see the areas that get grimed. In addition, don't fold the shower curtain back; spread it out so it has time to dry. Using shower "sprays" also help prevent and even clean the shower.
Reminds me of the movie, "Catch me if You Can" (based on a true story). I thought it would be a horrible movie because of Leonardo DeCaprio, but his acting was great. Tom Hanks was not slouch either.
Anyways, the basic plot of the movie is that Leo is the world's most infamous check counterfeiter. Eventually he turns over to the "good guys" and joins Tom Hanks at the end of the movie. Today he provides most of the security to checks.
By full i mean a seperate block for the arrow keys, the 3x2 block of insert/home/delete etc. and a little seperation betweek the main section and the F keys Too vague. It seems to me that nearly all keyboards ercept the very old Macintosh keyboards are like this, even this emachines-branded keyboard I'm typing on now.
But now that I look at the keyboard link you provide and think about the subject of this news topic, I realize you're really talking about illuminated keyboards. So my whole argument is moot.
But still, why would anyone want an illuminated keyboard? For most use and with little experience light isn't needed. I can understand it for some of the hardly-used keys such as Print Screen and Pause.
better graphics or better game? Most people can't decide. On game A, If the graphics are "teh shit" but the game play sucks they point out that graphics don't make the game. On game B, If it has a good storyline but graphics aren't even comparable to game A then it's thrown out the window as "outdated graphics". So which is it?
Well yes, one shouldn't take analogies very seriously and treat them loosely, otherwise they fall apart:). It is definitely difficult, but there are bonuses to it. For one, I have access to a T1 line where I can surf/work on my website in between calls. It's a very laid back atmosphere too.
As far as the anlogy goes, changing your oil every 3 months isn't necessary; it depends on how much you use it. the rule of thumb is every 3000 miles (or 3 months if you don't put that much).
But the analogy can't be taken that far simply because most people leave their computers on when they're not using them. That would be like running a vehicle for a whole month straight!
A lot of breathing exercises go into dealing with customers, and a lot of it is just telling them how it is, telling them flat out, "look, it's a PC issue, we can't fix it and it isn't even our problem". People need to start buying those extended warranties or better yet get some computer education.
downloading updates would be analogous to putting fuel in the car: it is basic maintenance that needs to be done relatively frequently.
Downloading updates would be analogous to changing the oil in the car; it is something that is needed frequently. If it isn't done frequently, it's going to run worse and worse until it eventually dies.
Most users care about their computers but are too stupid and lazy to do anything about it. That is why when a TSR (technical support representative) -- like yours truly -- gets the definitive short-end of the stick nearly every time: an incompentent user who has a slew of malware on his/her computer complaining that our Internet is slow. if that isn't the case, they claim their computer is slow because of our Internet.
Wow, take a step back and look at that. They're saying because we provide them with the Internet services, we're responsible for their down-trodden computer. That's (somewhat) analogous to say that because I was driving my car on your road, and I wrecked my car, it's your fault!
Unfortunately, its been my experience that installing anti-virus & firewall software tends to be a much more painful process.
It usually isn't installing the anti-virus/firewall/malware software that tends to be the problem, it's the fact that the user has no knowledge of how they work, how to update them, and use them properly. Most users using ZoneAlarm, for example, complain after it's been installed because they can't get on the Internet. Never mind the huge popup box in the system tray asking them if they would like to authorize x program to access the Internet and even a checkbox to make sure it's never asked again.
I received several calls today concerning "my Internet isn't working" and "my computer is slow". Normally people don't have the audicity to ask number #2 alone, but #1 and #2 usually go hand-in-hand. At least 3 calls today ended with me telling them I could not help them and they needed a PC technician.
Picking two of these options are only necessary in a less-than-optimal fan-based cooling system. Perhaps you should add some other options to it:
cool running, fast, silent, big/small.
I remember reading on overclockers.com about a guy who used a lot of copper pipes to achieve great passive heat dissipation. He had no fans in his system except the PSU. The copper tubing setup sat in his garage. It was as long as a common compact car and roughly 2/3's as wide. Very cool.
I suggest you have the oversight in your head fix. The definition, as clearly stated, was for "Fair" not "Fairwell". Fairwell is a compound word. Simply looking up the meanings of each word in a compound word gives you the meaning.
can think of a hundred ways that they could have false positives(such as IP spoofing and and using stolen remote connection and the like)
Don't forget the most obvious false positive cause, dynamic IP addresses. Depending on their timing, someone could be downloading a song, then log it and the IP. Then the user of the IP changes when they check again so they sue the current user not knowing there was a change.
Just like when DVDs started to get popular people had to replace their VCRs with DVD players...
That is a piss-poor analogy. Replacing a medium with a completely different medium is one thing. It's fine that VCRs had to be replaced by DVD players; it's a media change. There is nothing different in the media used on illegal versus legal DVD players (unless it's not on the DVD but on some other media like a hard drive). The fact that you have to use a specific operating system to use a standard medium is what is pissing Linux users off. The freedom of choice was taken away from us. The fact that we can't use something we bought any way we choose is the real problem. If I buy a DVD and I have a DVD player in my computer, I better be able to play it, regardless of the OS (as long as their is software available to play it).
Linux users need to give up their technology that doesn't work correctly and use that which does.
As the interviewer points out, the problem is the fact that their isn't any legal software available for Linux that will play DVDs.
It's his job to make sure that there are NOT illegal DVD players for Linux.
No it isn't. It is the FBI, a state's Bureau of Investigations, or even the police. It is not for a normal citizen such as him to police others.
Linux users do not have a God or country given right to watch American Wedding on their Linux box.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but before the DMCA was put into place, there wasn't a law that didn't take away these rights. You don't have to have laws to grant rights just to have that right. Only when a law is written to take away rights then your rights are taken away (is there an echo?). If I wanted to smash my own TV then I could as long as it didn't break with any laws.

In truth you will never use only CSS. Since it bears repeating, I will say this again: HTML is for structuring a document, CSS is for styling it.
