Information doesn't wanna be anthropomorphized... that fucking quote was lame when it was invented, and it's lame now.
And they are largely defraying distribution costs by doing it this way.
And they are doing more than just shipping community software. Mandrake adds a decent amount of customization to linux. Don't like it? then go do a Linux From Scratch install or something.
And they are not depriving you of anything, just saying wait a bit, or pay a price to cut in line.
Yes, Virginia, there are costs associated with the world, and No, "But I don't like that" isn't a valid reason to ignore those costs.
Exactly... while the games themselves are fun, most of the enjoyment I got was from sitting around, talking smack and laughing when the drunk DM conjured a dragon...
Look, I've worked in factories, I've worked in IT.
Rarely does it take more than a couple of days to become skilled at a particular factory operation. Rarely does it take less than a couple of years of experience and education) to become skilled in an IT field.
We've done the work and learned how to do a hard profession. In fact, we never quit learning new technologies as they emerge... school never ends. And we're considered expendable. Of course we are pissed.
Why do people always say this kind of thing? I don't mean this as a personal attack, but some of us actually have convictions that are based in thought instead of emotion... Whether it is a loved one doesn't really things if you really believe and stick to your guns.
Nah, the poster was trying to be analytical and explain the issue. It is pretty likely that the title was meant to be racist, so "apparently" is appropriate. He could have said "this statement by a sheet wearing KKK motherfucker" and communicated no more.
Drawing conclusions based on a single sentence is dicey. Being conservative in commenting is just the smart way to go.
I learned to do web development on dialup, actually. If I have to use some 1 pixel gif as a spacer, what benefit (either for a slow browser or a blind person) is an alt tag? None.
That's some fugly HTML. I like the nested P, DIV and TABLE tags... eww.
There are a lot of errors (not just MSIE specific attributes,which I can't expect MS not to use), but quite a bit of those validation errors are "rules" that are not really necessary.
For example, while ALT tags are good, they are really not necessary for spacer images, purely eye candy elements, etc. I'm big on HTML standards, but you just don't need ALT tags on every image...
There was a service pack coupla years back (I forget if it was XP or 2000) that effectively disabled use of a proxy server... so those machines couldn't get out to get the fixed SP a couple of days later.

No, they have always been required. However, since MSIE 4.0 and up, IE has allowed extremely poor HTML grammar. This leads to a lot of bad web pages and "web developers" that can only code for the latest MS browser.
Aren't most of the aussie troops special forces types? I was under the impression that they were one of the first groups in (along with the american SEALS), and thus _should_ hardly be noticed...
As I type I am (should be) working on a simple login function. It works pretty much the same as every other one ever written... including a unix login... wonder if I'm next to be sued.

Wait a couple of weeks and they'll be available to non-club folks.

If you were doing precise HTML layouts in 1997 without ever pulling this trick, then I am rather impressed, troll.
Even now, CSS isn't perfect if you need to be cross browser/platform. Shaddup.
Moreover... they built it with Dreamweaver.... BURN THE HERETICS!
how is the title, which is in the head, required when the head is not?

What's with calling it firefox 1.0? I thought by the time the product hit 1.0, it was supposed to be Mozilla 2?
Why are they calling a development version 1.0?
Wrong. Following the rules of a language, even a markup language, should be mandatory.
And I criticized MSIE for this years before I'd heard of OSS. This isn't zealout MS bashing, it's an expert (7 years web development) opinion.

Shit... you could DoS 'em with a fancy toaster... wouldn't take much.
Hmm... I've seen a lot of grammar Nazis around... never a grammar paranoid :)

Hell, the 0th law is even more appropriate.
Check this out. So far as I know, you still use the original shocks and stuff, so the ride would be fairly smooth...

Moreover, the fact that something is stupid doesn't prove that you didn't do it... it's dumb to drink and drive, but lots of people do.
