The problem is not whether it looks "right" on all client systems, nor whether it meets basic accessibility and compatibility requirements. The SIFr hack certainly meets those requirements, even thought it leaves the real problem unresolved.
The problem here is web designers believing they need an unrealistic amount of control over font faces and layout -- and no amount of software nor W3C standards can solve this. Designers will have to solve it themselves.
A good start? Don't ask for "Helvetica 12". Ask for font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 100%;.
One of the great things about the web is that the users can select their own preferred typefaces. They can choose something in a size and form that's readable and pleasing for them. Web design should reflect this deference to the user, not try to hack around it to give some ominpotence of extremely dubious value to the designer.
Honestly, I'd have thought that most people who would be interested in a DIY macro setup would understand that it's not going to be an article about home lens fabrication, and that using a macro lens requires a camera.
As far as I can tell, the CMYK separation and composition plugins have been included in the main GIMP distribution, at least on Debian.
Producing a reversible decomposition from an RGB image to CMYK is a simple matter of mathematics, but, of course, it would not be tuned to the color profiles used by printing houses. This is why I say you must mean Pantone or another color profiling system.
There's no issue whatsoever of "accuracy" in producing nominal colorspace conversions, but if your needs include decomposing an image to a proprietary profile such as Pantone, whose licensing requirements are so incompatible with the GIMP that it can never be legally supported, then you are most likely always going to need to rely on proprietary software for your image processing needs.
The critique of the built-in failings of democracy is the alternative to unexamined acceptance. What do you offer that's better than a wake-up call to a world that's being sunk by the ignorance of the masses?
Your faith in democracy will only lead to frustration. You wouldn't trust the American public to fix your refrigerator, and yet you trust them to govern? That's pure insanity.
That would rely on the client to enforce the distribution restrictions. Listeners would simply use a client that ignores the ID3 tag scheme. A client-based system for enforcing content restrictions will not succeed, as it is the distributor who has a desire to restrict the content -- not the listener.
A more viable approach would be to generate the feed dynamically, and embed a unique identifier in the URL. Instead of pointing to the MP3 itself, the URL points to another script. The script checks to see if the identifier has already been used. If it hasn't, it sends the audio file. If it has, it redirects to an informational page or sends a short audio clip describing how to subscribe to the official feed.
That's rather like claiming human casualities are a good thing, in the long run, because they galvanize people against wars.
I would say that it's fortunate that Sony is being hit with so much pressure and bad publicity, but I'd have a hard time seeing how it's a good thing that Sony is distributing malicious software with the sole purpose of depriving paying customers of their fair use rights.
I'd think that Europe would be one of the first to jump for the chance at a progressive-scan image. PAL's low refresh rate gives me a headache. NTSC's 60Hz is about as low as I can stand. I can't even imagine watching an entire feature-length film at 50Hz.
I used it exclusively for two days. It's easily the worst web browser I've ever used, requiring bizarre configuration gymnastics to get the toolbars set up how I like them, limited mouse gesture support, locking up randomly and leaking memory, and full of annoying bugs like failing to trap Ctrl+L if the cursor is inside a text input box.
It seems that the bulk of the discussion at the Apple forums has been that question, repeated and rephrased.

Guys, we get it. No one can see your site! It's either malformed headers coming out of a "domain masking" service that you knew was designed to deceive browsers into displaying a false domain name in the location bar, or it's an obscure bug in Safari. Either way, you can just disable the domain masking, or wait for GoDaddy or Apple (depending on your "belief") to repair the bug.
Don't cry. No one is out to get you for using a different computer. I promise.

Most college courses explicitly ban use of any encyclopedia as a reference.
So, what you're saying is that Britannica has a long way to go before it will be useful as a wiki?
Neither the GOP nor the Dems are on our side this time.

You must mean Pantone. The GIMP already has CMYK composition and decomposition support.

What on earth is the "rate" of software piracy? This sounds awfully like more mystical math from an industry with a lot of motivation to deceive.
Ah, the ancient "no alternative" fallacy.

Of course, those votes were lost when the power went out, and you hadn't flushed the results to disk yet.
You say that as though there is a functional difference between the two.
I wasn't saying anything about the level of harm. I was drawing a comparison between the reasoning in each claim. Come on. Read it again.

An excellent solution! I'm not sure whether modern NTSC sets are doubled up to 120Hz, but that would certainly be nice :-)

No, he was talking about Opera, the web browser. Is there another definition? That can't be right.

That's a robots.txt, chap. It keeps the search engines clean. You can still read 'em if you want.
Really? Excellent! That's good to hear.
