Imagine a world where valid xhtml/css websites rendered the same in all browsers. Imagine a world without Internet explorer.... ahhhhhh.
Unfortunately, very few sites out there that work in all browsers correctly are compliant.
I guess it's a toss up: have a little validator button proudly displayed somewhere on your site and have a few display errors in Internet Explorer or have a messily coded site that is slow, but works.
No actually. It has only been in recent times that we have finally built large infrastructures based on rapidly progressing technology. I'm not only talking about computers, I'm talking about everything from roadways (which need to be repaved all the time anyway) to electricity.
Backwards compatability is nice, but let's not forget forwards compatability as well.
But of course, these processors will require entire software rewrites.
But this reminds me of a growing trend, and that is that as soon as large infrastructures are finally completed (be it the transition to OS X or 802.11b) the technology becomes obsolete. However, the entire infrastructure must be replaced. I don't care how many gazillion flops this or any other processor can pull. They need to easily scale so that the entire infrastructure does not need replacing.
How is this like the transition from newton to quantum mechanics? Hasn't computing always been quantized? I for one would love to see a change form quantum type computing to newton type computing using smooth instead of discrete. Ready for infinite FPS? How about ultra-realistic physics models? It seems to me like this intel fellow is merely riding the quantum-this quantum-that hype.
Just to clear something up in the post, retrograde motion won't affect viewing at all. In fact, the only way someone could detect retrograde motion would be to take very precise measurements over a few days. It's not as if mars or any other planet moves opposite the stars on any given night. But this is slashdot, you all knew that.
Civ II helped me learn the Cursus Honorum for Latin, and starcraft helped for middle school english vocabulary. Unreal tournament... well... not much from there.
Also, sim city 2000 and myst were great in terms of general intelligence building. And don't forget the EV series! Now I know a bunch of major star systems. Bernard's Star here I come! Yes, it really does exist, however not all stars from fiction are real. I don't think fiddler's green exists.
Anyhoo, a healthy dose of non first person shooter games can be good for the brain, and while those shooters certainly improve reflexes, the RSI, frazzled nerves and raised blood pressure of a good net match are hardly worth it.
Just because they have other things to do than sit around slashdot all day does not make their decisions any less informed. You don't need to know what Apache is to decide whether thumbnailing is fair use.
No, I'm saying that it's not that impressive technologically.
Small island nations shouldn't count for firsts.

Niue Gets Island-Wide WiFi

But come on now, that doesn't even count! 2000 people? The UC Berkeley system is ten times that, and they're even thinking of installing campus-wide wifi.
it's a lot easier and software-licence free to do it using css. All you need to do is hide the html part of each menu, and when the menu title is moused-over, the css, and something like two lines of JavaScript, will display the menu. No muss, no fuss.
It's great for cases such as manslaughter, but coupled with GPS, it could be used to enforce speed limits. Remember that movie... the crappy one that takes place in a futuristic L.A. where human contact is not allowed? They have a thing just like that, where you're fined for swearing in public, speeding, stuff like that.
Use it for serious cases, fine. But don't ticket me!
CDs are already frozen; freezing is the act of making a liquid a solid...
freezing things such as flowers in liquid nitrogen works by freezing the liquid water already in the flower, making them brittle.
However, if you've ever broken a plastic ice tray that's been in the freezer, you know that plastics are more brittle at lower temperatures... but it's not freezing.

I would comment on this issue, but my NDA explicitly prohibits me from doing so.
That's what the 40 gig iPod is for.
furthermore, using my advanced pattern algorithm analysis programs, I have concluded that he is also a terrorist.
Well that's to be expected of Microsoft; by undermining Linux, their monopoly become even more powerful, even if it means giving millions away.
oh wait...
By the way, I can't believe nobody made that joke yet.

Wow, IPv6 really made those mp3s sound better. It was almost as if I were there!
and yet people still use IE. As a web designer, I have to ask, "WHY!?"

iPod.
so if I hook wheels to my G4, I can sue too?
