yeah, that's what I was thinking, too. it's gotta be on top, so it'll have the highest z-index in the page. maybe the browser could look at all the layers, take the top one (highest z-index) and either display it as the lowest. or somehow indicate to the user that the top layer's been removed.
again, however, doing this in a blanket fashion could hork up sites that (a) use z-index, and (b) do not use floaters.

w00t! my wife's confuser was starting to crumple beneath the load of spyware, and I told her that, if she gives me the computer to fix, then it'll come back running linux.
proper permissions usage and implementation is really the best way to lock down a machine when you can't rely on the user to keep from inadvertantly installing junk.

duh. that's it. I thought I'd feel dumb when someone told me.
I read the whole dang thing, thought about post modernism explicitly and never put the two terms together. I hope this doesn't imply that it's some kind of mistake to RTFA.
sadly, Nader is likely to go down in history as a fool, especially if he turns out to be instrumental again. a visionary fool, yes, but a fool nonetheless.
okay, I've never heard this term, and couldn't dig anything up that explained it. all I got were references to a native American tribe from the San Francisco area.
the author uses "Pomo Jones", "pomo" "pomo sapiens", etc, and now you CamelCase it. WHAT'S POMO??? (I hope I don't kick myself when I find out....)

it's sad commentary. should be a mod option.
did you mean fahrrad ?
it's a red herring. he actually lives in Denver.
been there. done that.
probably a vi user. I bet his ESC key is worn out also.

well, maybe not for you....
the very fabric of space is twisted by our whirling world.
yes, this world gets my knickers in a knot sometimes as well.

NO BACKSLASHES!!
but I take your point. mea culpa for RTFA and starting this silly thread.

thanks.
the stunning thing is that Nader persists in campaigning in the light of this obvious fact. he's being helped by Republicans, and another four years of Dubya will pretty much undo Nader's entire life's work.

I suppose they can't really hope for "good" coverage.
oh great. more outsourcing.

yah! that was my idea in the first place. just give it a shove!
in the right direction, of course, which I think is backwards.
