Windows is losing market share. It's a fact. Can't be stopped, especially with whole governments using Linux, or planning to switch soon.
So lets save us all some time and make IE run on all systems. Code the whole thing in.Net, make sure it runs on Mono, or better yet make the official.Net framework cross platform.
I just want a universal client. If that's what your working towards then stick to standards that are explicitly defined by the W3C, or make your non-compliant browser available on all platforms. Otherwise just let Mozilla take over.

Senator Orin Hatch... Reasonable Person...
Shouldn't that be say stodgy old ignorant technophobes?
I love the idea of a sponsored congressman. They should go to work each day dressed like those NASCAR drivers. Logos all over the place, head to toe. He pauses in the middle of his speach to take a refreshing drink of Coca-Cola. Ahhhhh.
Hell lets stop pretending anymore. Lets create corporate representatives and get our elected ones back. All these probablems coming from the fact that corporations are seen as people in the eyes of the law. Make the House, the Senate and the Market. People elect the first two, corporations vote for the third and can't contribute to the others.
Excellent insight. It's pretty old. Used to be called something else, but once he left HP it changed to it's current name. Check it out, you'll like it.

Most roads have some holes in them. Some would say it is a natural part of the road building process. Other argues roads can be made hole free. Generally roads are thought to be without holes when initially developed, but over time holes are found. While identifying and patching holes in roads is thought to be a good thing, numerical analysis shows otherwise.
Patching roads requires people to stop the flow of traffic, and puts workers at risk of being injured or killed by users of the roads. A road that is fully patched encourages users to drive faster, burning fossil fuels at a lower efficiency compared to the slow speed drivers use when they see holes. Driving slower will also save lives in the event of an accident and cause drivers to pay more attention to the road since they never know when a hole could be in their local path.
Many times the problem is not with the road, but the surface that it is built on. Patching the road can only be assumed to be a stop gap measure at best and will likely have to be patched again. Holes in the supporting structure will almost always show up in the things built on it.
Fixing pot holes slows innovation. Once it becomes accepted that roads have holes in them, consumers will demand vehicles able to deal with them. If hole patching was stopped right now, studies show we would all be flying to work in our personal jetson mobiles within 8 years. Space previously set aside for roads will be converted to trails for bikes, bladers and walkers. Butterflies will land on your outstretched hand while you stop to observe the wild flowers.
Fixing holes only maintains the status quo and dominance of local government and the corrupt DOT branches of the states. If you reduce their budget by even 1% they will go on strike and roads will quickly deteriorate. Some communities out there are leading the charge in not fixing pot holes to bring you a world of glass houses on stilts and talking dogs with jet packs.
In conclusion our findings indicate the DOT should be abolished. They have served their purpose but have no place in todays innovative world.
Their target of research is for better controlled prostetics, being invasive wouldn't be an issue. This way someone could control their robotic arm by having the wires directly embedded somewhere in their body instead of some external sensors strapped on somewhere that could move and not read correctly.
For you or I sticking wires into our brains just to play video games by thinking of them would be a bit extreme. For people who have no hands to play with, it's a step in the direction of unobtrusive naturally controlled prostetics.
Maybe I do. I'm not sure. I don't know how PageRank works, but my idea is that if you tell the spider not to index something, but still follow links then it would break the PageRank score of that link. You would be coming from an unindexed page to an indexed page which would be like starting over.
Of course I don't know how the ranking really works.
If I ever get an RIAA extortion letter I can just explain that I have a long standing habit of getting free stuff from the internet and that complaining at this late date is pointless because it's become the established norm. Kinda of like common law marriages or squatters rights.
The sandbox is a junk area where users can play right? So change the.htaccess to use Follow, NoIndex and google should be blind to them. Or the robots.txt file to block access.

We could start reporting on G.W.Bush. Stupid quotes, siphoning money for personal gain, changing stories, determination to continue in spite of all available evidence it's a farce. Unlike the SCO case you could consider almost everyone to be a stakeholders in the final result.
Unfortuneately, some businesses restrict what software the employees can install on their computer.
I see. So what we need is a Mozilla install that takes advantage of the mentioned exploit to install itself. After all by restricting the employees to using IE they are effectively giving NON-employees the ability to install software.
Big changes are bad. Regardless of if we have a central system like the FCC, or a wild west every transmitter for yourself system. A sudden switch to the opposite extreme is not a good idea.
Identify the problems and take care of them. The FCC was created for a certain purpose and has incrementally evolved over the years into what it is now. The people in charge have made some bad decisions.
Still there is a lot of good. It's very important to be able to set aside spectrum for certain uses. We can't have every machine trying to interfere with every other one. Then the expensive/powerful machines just shut out the others. TV's and telephones - the two things the FCC has ruled over for so long work great. I don't need to go out and get my TV or phone upgraded every 2 years.
It would be nice to have the specs. Imagine something like the LeapPad with a basic compact flash interface. A cheap 8 MB chip would easily store enough for a good book. Plus it could be improved upon by others.
It seems like a simple enough device, only audio responses to certain trigger areas, with a little occasional logic in there for games and variety. I know we'll probably be getting the bigger one soon, I guess maybe I'll keep the old one to play with myself.:)
If only someone would come up with a way to hack the Leap Pad or a similar device. I really like how durable the things are, they can take a beating, but the books for it just suck. Most books seem one step removed from the "Mattel and Mars Bar Quick Energy Chocobot Hour".
I would like to put my own lessons into it. Printing pages, recording, would all be fun. I don't see any other really durable hardware for kids that can be expanded. A 4 year old can do a lot of damage to things.
I was wondering what the flood had to do with living forever. Then it became clear. That's why the creators of Halo wanted to destroy all biological matter. Once converted to flood, aging stops and your free to live forever, with a very strong urge to share the wonderous longevity with others by slashing them or shooting them until they are incapacited enough to receive the gift of eternal life.
On a more serious note though, that's exactly what the book Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom is about. It says pretty much exactly the same thing in the first chapter. Everyone is for life extension because anyone opposed to life extension died out, and to the kids growing up it was just a fact of life that you could live forever. Excellent read, and a free download for you cheapos.:)
I think they are going about this all wrong. People are willing to search, download and play low quality MP3's from the net. They don't care about cover art lyrics or silk screened CD's. Not everyone of course, but the people they are going after. If people want lyrics they go online.
They should just sell generic black and white CD's in a small in paper envelopes. Put them behind the counter so they don't get snatched and charge half price. Like video rentals, you browse the covers, but go to the desk to get the plain product.
They would still make buckets of money at $4 a copy and would save all the production costs of cases, graphics and stuff. Do this along with the current CD's and see how it goes.
