MRS. HOGENSON: [sobbing] I'm on a fixed income, and if you can't help me, I don't know what I'll do. [blows nose loudly] [sobbing]
BOB: All right, listen closely. I'd like to help you, but I can't. I'd like to tell you to take a copy of your policy to Norma Wilcox on...[whispering] Norma Wilcox. W-l-L-C-O-X. On the third floor. But I can't. I also do not advise you to fill out and file a WS2475 form with our legal department on the second floor. I wouldn't expect someone to get back to you quickly to resolve the matter. I'd like to help, but there's nothing I can do.
MRS. HOGENSON: Oh, thank you, young man.
BOB: Shhh! [shouting] I'm sorry, ma'am! I know you're upset! [whispering] Pretend to be upset.
That's very good and I agree with your assesment of the ACID2 test. However, on the subject of css, IE still doesn't support CSS1 full. The css-tables part in particular is much needed. Why was it left out, all these years after the release of the css1 spec?
but the console will have the advantage of being cheaper than the Sony PlayStation 3 and having a bigger game library than the Nintendo Wii.
You can turn that around too: "But the [XBOX360] will have the disadvantage of being more expensive than the Nintendo Wii and having a smaller game library than the Sony PlayStation 3."
So could you provide that font (or isn't it a free one?), it'd make sticking to the same old logo a lot easier obviously.
Also, there was an (semi)'official'/. wallpaper a few years back. It had an excellent redone slashdot logo. Any chance of getting the originals for that one?
Existing web is in html (and bad html at that). ANYTHING offering 'web access' is going to support the existing web.
Thus, HTML 5 is the future. Especially since xhtml isn't even supported properly in today's most used browser (ie. IE). And no, sending as html does not count and is even bad (yes, I'll change my own website to reflect this in the future).
Seeing as how Next-Gen is supposedly going to bring us HD, they key thing to remember is that the textures have to scale up too. Those bigger textures are going to take up quite a lot more space, so using current game sizes with current texture sizes to figure out if next-gen games will require more than the XBox discs can manage, isn't very useful.
Comparing them to install base sizes of new PC games (think HDR Half-Life 2) is a lot more useful.

Could you highlight all the patents you think are shitty?
Do you know why they "don't care"? MARGINS!
Big, fat, juicy margins...nothing to do with start-ups.
I have medium Irish ancestry - and agree too.
Now just for a control group and we're set!
Yeah, and these images, blech! When can we get rid of them?
+1. Classic.
Zero Gravity? It's hanging from the ceiling!
In other news, I have a couple of zero-gravity lamps in my house.
And, finally, on topic: GOOD that finally someone thinks of properly protect doctors, as they're kind of essential to medicine.

Adding well researched articles to Wikipedia makes it more accurate on the whole; that's a good thing!
Brilliant!
Must... do... more... research... before... posting...

You must be new here.
It's actually better to use HTML, even after all these years of xHTML in the wild.
That's very good and I agree with your assesment of the ACID2 test. However, on the subject of css, IE still doesn't support CSS1 full. The css-tables part in particular is much needed. Why was it left out, all these years after the release of the css1 spec?
Actually, you were right on that the first time. The Netherlands doesn't appear to allow dual nationality.
They do. I have it.

You can turn that around too:
"But the [XBOX360] will have the disadvantage of being more expensive than the Nintendo Wii and having a smaller game library than the Sony PlayStation 3."
Of curiosity, do you know this in some authoritative way or are you speculating? I didn't see this stated in the article.

I absolutely agree. "This is hot" is absolutely the best ad to use.

DVD9 games out now don't use HD to it's full potential.
Install base baby, install base. (Though the HDR is of course a bad example as it's only one chapter)

It's not a tool to combat piracy - it's to enforce price discrimination.
