With such a useful web developer feature available only in Firefox, could we soon start seeing websites asking their users to download Firefox to get the best browsing experience?"
The keyword is best. Lets just hope some webmasters don't start doing what some IE designers have done, blocked out an entire website because of not using the correct browser. Most of the sites that say my Firefox is "not up-to-date as the latest Interenet Explorer" will render just fine, if they hadn't put up blockades to their content.
I'd be fine with cutting some funding to high school athletics, they get lots of money from the community athletic boosters. Seventh grade is the first year for extra curricular school-sanctioned athletics and has the highest turnout. (Our town's REC department sponsers programs for younger kids.) It's junior high sports. It's not yet about the competition. Everyone gets to play, kids are still equal. High school is much more harsh. You have to "make the team", and then try to make varsity or be stuck on junior varsity, which the coaches spend less time with.
Our school district is replacing over 400 computers next school year. This includes several elementary school labs, computers used for a few simple learning games, word processing, and internet browsing.
Our school board now want to make cuts to the high school music program and eliminate seventh grade athletics. Education priorities need to get into order. We need more teachers over more computers.
I live in a small town in the midwest. Let's just say the music we get from our local radio stations and television is quite a bit less than diverse. Sure, we have MTV and VH1, but corporate crap music isn't too appealing.
I started listening to online radio stations. I started at Launch. It was awesome. I could find new music, rate what I wanted to hear, and find new and exciting bands and artists I would have never of experienced. Launch only had a select few songs and videos by each artist. I bought several CDs by the artists I found.
File sharing also had a part in broadening my musical taste. For a while, I used Soulseek. I'd search for artists that I liked, then browsed the directories of people who had those artists to find more songs I'd like. I found some great stuff with that method. Again, I often bought more CDs. MP3 are nice for a while, but a CD is something I can show off. Burnt CDs have crap audio and just look and feel tacky.
As I said, the musical diversity around here is not wide. To get CDs by these new artists I found, I had to also look online. Amazon delivers with a huge selection and low prices. They've also got a feature to recommend more music based on ratings. I've found several more CDs this way.
It's not smooth around the edges, but I'd try Moray. It's a modeling program that can use POV-Ray to render the images. Just create rough shapes in the size of your furniture and drag them around the room. The more time you spend, the better looking and detailed you can make the furniture.
I have also been researching the possibility of using a CMS for our school newspaper's website. The problem is most things posing as content managers are really just community-ware. I just to be able to set something up to allow other students to edit and publish their issues. I don't need forums, chat, downloads, blogs, or user profiles. The only possibly additive feature would be image management.
Others are saying that women are outpacing men at blogging. It started as a male geek thing, but has lost that stigma and is considered more of a diary/gossip tool.
Uh, I believe that's what this person is trying to accomplish. They probably want to be able to use a newer computer which will allow greater graphic capabilities compared to PS2 or Xbox.
I personally like computer games better because of the controls. I'm familiar with using a keyboard and mouse at the same time. Lettered hotkeys are simpler than button combinations.
Thanks for being one of the few level thinkers out there.
Google is a business, and they have a hell of a lot of rights to run their search engine how they see fit. If people don't like seeing results from other companies when they search for a specific brand, they should switch search engines. There are other good search engines out there.
Heck, Google isn't forced to index GEICO's website at all.
Why does everybody seem to feel the need to have their last 20-25 posts in their feed? It's just going to mean wasted bandwidth, especially for websites that update infrequently. I'd say the last five posts would be sufficient for most weblogs and 10 for news sites like Slashdot and The Register.
Feed readers are the other issue. Many set their default refresh to an hour. I use SharpReader which has an adequate 4 hour default. I adjust that on a per feed basis. Some update once per day, and that's all I need it to load the latest.
I'm not a very experience programmer by any means, but why the hell would it be so damn hard to make a voting machine that works properly? It seems like a simple concept that even beginning programmers could do a decent job of creating.

It's their loss.
Well, where's the torrent? It seems like that should be part of any article involving new *nix releases.
I haven't tried BSD before, and this sounds like a good first timer's distro.
Hey, that's France.

If you're just looking for speed, try assembly. I hear all the good programmers are using it these days.

Any way this works out, several lawyers will be the ones taking this patent fight to the bank.

So you're saying Firefox will never die, sorta like BSD.
Iowa Public Television has always been an awesome station.
Yeah, but the slashdotting will do nothing but further hinder their work to get everything back up.

I haven't seen any teens use "!" as not. I'm thinking that's sort of a geek thing.

I just don't see a point in buying a $150 gaming system when I already have a $2000+ pc.

I guess you missed the "No data was actually collected however" part. They did install some software, but nothing stolen.
I don't understand why anybody would think to use a wireless network for a system that transmits credit card information.
Porn on your cell phone.
LEGO anyone?
Not an extension cord, a USB cable!

Email spam went down, but my blog comment spam went up.
