Print preview in Opera 8.02 results in a black page with white margins and blue links. It's fine in IE and probably Ff. I don't know it it would result in a black printout, and I'm not going to waste toner just to find it out;) Otherwise an excellent job, congrats to all involved!
A friend of mine got himself one of these Yakumo car stereos, it accepts MP3s on SD and USB memory. I can't say much about the quality, but I guess it sounded nice enough. We tried playing some files from both a SD and USB sources and it worked fine, reading 320kbps MP3s without any problems.
Yes, you're right about the president not being entirely responsible, I just wanted to point out that there's still significant responsibility attached to the veto power which the presidents are granted.
>... it could also send the message that the president is out of touch with the rest of the country.
Well in this case GWB is in perfect touch with the country!
Airships might be tougher than they look, but I'm still not sure about this one's defenses. Some military transports have rear-mounted cannons in addition to chaffs/flares*, so I guess the Walrus would have at least these. It's still a BUSlowF though, making it an easier target and complicating its escorting.
In any case, this seems to be a very interesting and promising project. It can carry almost twice what an An-225 can, or probably even the An itself. I don't know what the operating costs would be, but that's another possible advantage. As is vertical takeoff/landing. Speed is going to be a disadvantage, but it's still better to be able to carry 500 tons than not to be:).
*- don't these devices require a rapid change of course for the aircraft to be most efficient, making them less efficient in this case?
PS. While I was writing this somebody posted a RA2 reference, but I'll at least add a picture.
None of thes programs they tested showed any significant difference, but scientific benchmarks seem to show significant improvement. Much smaller, but still detectable improvement in xvid/divx encoding. The 64-bit version of CINEMA 4D also benefits significantly in most cases (page 11).
Are you serious? The drive with the highest capacity were more expensive per GB as far as I can remember while the mid-range drives had the best value. They're just pricing the top drives to maximize the profit from those who would rush to buy the latest and greatest no matter how much it costs. Then the new drives come out, taking their position: a few years ago 80gb drives were cheaper per gb than the 100 and 120gb drives which were already availible, now the 80gb drives are low-end while the 100-200gb drives are mid-range.
Yes, CowboyNeal pulled a dupe once after I notified him in #slashdot. There were just a few comments at the time though, so I doubt this one will get pulled.
How is having a porn site on.com forcing people to visit it or to want to visit it? Maybe they should also check if slashdot is a registered non-profit organization? How about your site?
Limiting pr0n to.xxx looks like an obstruction to freedom of speech. A free speech zone which I'm sure some nutjobs would want to block from the public. How about libraries, or forcing ISPs to block.xxx? By default? If you want to block the domain, do it yourself, it takes less than a minute.
Also, ratings aren't mandatory, it is possible to sell unrated videos.
or at least in the US, so I could walk up to these activists/protestors and tell them loudly and proudly, "FUCK YOU!"*
I'm glad they're not sitting on their fat retarded asses but actually doing somethig about stuff they don't like, however they have no fucking clue what they're talking about and their demands make about as much sense as Beowulf having sex with Robert Fulton at the first battle of Antietam.**
Bully isn't gloryfing bullying, but shows a kid who actually "stands up to bullies, gets picked on by teachers, plays pranks on malicious kids, wins or loses the girl, and ultimately learns to navigate the obstacles of the fictitious reform school." I even think some anti-bullying people actually like the idea, but I don't have any quotes, sorry. This one is from Rockstar's description, can be found for example here
Originally I wanted to go through the demands, but the article already does that with much less anger, insults and profanity than anything I could write now. Have a nice day.

Infringement of the GPL/BSD licenses is a worse offense??? WTF dude! No wait... I'm not really surprised. You take something open and make it closed... so what? The open version still remains open, nobody can do anything about it. The OSS project can get more attention, people can get better software, whoever made the closed version can make some money. Everybody benefits. But no, it's much worse than taking something the copyright holder din't intend to give away for free, thus possibly screwing them out of the money.
If, for some reason, you can't use a separate firewall, try the Outpost firewall from Agnitum. Comes with some additional modules such as ad blocking, active content filter (can remove scripts, Java and ActiveX), email attachment filter (remove executables), and supports additional modules. All of those can be disabled if not needed.

Oh--- what , you mean we've been doing this already for the last 70 years?
And this makeis it right?

A fascist babysitting dictatorship.
Not only that, but he obviously never downloaded an iso release :D

Well of course! Almost anything a business does is a money making scheme!

I'm sure you mean Problem created.

>... since when were presidents entirely responsible for Acts of Congress?
Well presidents have this thing called veto power, so I'd say they're about as responsible for such laws as are the congresscritters.
Yeah, they're like giant chicks
Just as there is such a mechanism now.

Here's how it looks now:

80gb $55: $0.66
200gb $86: $0.43
500gb $332: $0.66

What innovation? That feature was already there.
I'm sure he's more popular in Canada though, he's 61 cent there!
