back in the days not just tech websites proudly presented the "this site requires IE3 / Netscape 3" icons. And Netscape 2 before that. And NS 1.4, iirc that was quite an important release feature-wise.
I suppose the web was not catering for non-geeks on the whole.
Simple answer to the above question: what's the cost of continued support of $OBSOLETE_BROWSER_X compared with the revenue your website makes from customers with $OBSOLETE_BROWSER_X who won't switch to $SANE_BROWSER and rather abscond tom $EVIL_COMPETITOR.
Damn, I was going to wait until it comes out on BitTorrent (probably is already, haven't looked yet). But that only works for movies which appeal at reduced image quality: wall-e was a torrent disappointment on account of the poor plot.
seems it would be be a brilliant way to marked mobile data bandwith as well: when the cell is not too busy and neither it the upstream link, they can sell it off cheap and people can facebook all they like (while i read/.), and when the traffic heats up i still have my work email going but the web2.0rhea flow is temporarily halted.
are there any remote-desktoppy protocols/systems out there that do the Right Thing(TM) with a two-screen client machine?
I'd like to move to Terminal Services (or NoMachine/SPICE/Whatever) for performance reasons, but giving up on my niche 2 screens (one for IDE, one for the software i'm developing/testing to run on) would be kinda a step back.
what about mac users with a IE-only web app?
i know these things exist, if only as "internal" apps such as the school grading software my Teacher GF had to use at her last school.
it produced brolen HTML that would freak out gecko and Safari, so i installed IE7 in wine. On her mac (w/o parallels...) ancient IE would have been the only option.
that's been done by a hobbyist years ago. Incredibly cool project. can't seem to find it now, i read an extensive website about it years ago. Some kid and his brother spent years building an airframe, and pack a gps and embedded computer that steers the plane back "home", 2-way radio modem, camera, the lot. Someone post the link please
This is really interesting research, way to go space scientists. We learn about the universe, its origin and destiny. Interesting question.
Money well spent compared to someone trying to shoot a dude/dudette to Mars just for the hell of it, and come up with a viable research question they may answer in the process as an afterthought.
wouldn't it be nice if network operators charged a fair price for Used bandwidth rather than taking $$$ for Jesus-phone "all-inclusive" deals. In suppose all the want is, err, as mucg of our money as they can get, and that's the way they get it.
But if their price model would encourage thrifty bandwidth use by iUsers and iAppcoders, that would make it interesting for me, maybe getting a smartphone (more probably G than i) for less than a £35 contract here in the UK.
Since we are going to have non technical people using linux I think it would be better to have everything in / except/home under a folder like/linux.
that would surely break posix compliance?
non-technical users of gnome (etc.) are steered away from the real path names and just click on the "smithm's home", "Desktop", "Shared files", erm, folders. or whudduyacallits.
I was hoping for this "custom gui" to be something innovative at a deeper level, such as a replacement for "X" rather than a replacement for "gnome/kde" or the window manager. That might be more than just marketing hype.
Iran, has banned the use of encryption. It's illegal to use gpg and such like. Good luck with TOR. Maybe they get away with it because everybody uses it.
I cannot judge on the merits of the Iranian election and wheter it represents the free will of the majority of the people (many seem to imply it doesn't but with little in terms of proof)
I don't know that the opposition in that election would be any better for said people.
But yes, let information flow. Freely and encryptedly. I hope TOR has no holes.

Thank you for this informative comment: the depth of ignorance exposed above and subsequently modded "informative" are sickening.
Watch this film in 3D Imax or not at all IMHO.

isn't that an at&t curve now?

are green with envy. Do they qualify?

I was just going to post this but A/C got there first. Don't know why the obnoxious McCann parents didn't get done for negligence.
Artillery projectiles need to be heavy, not hard. Lead is good, depleted uranium is better. Not obvious where carbon NT can improve that.

Now how cool is that Opera Mini Cooper.
answer: not cool at all. Because it's not a real Mini but a counterfeit BMW Mini. Also known as the Twatmobile.
Real did not elect to return (or destroy, with appropriate certification) the CSS General Specifications
maybe they used DVD Jon's version?
Any stereotype missing?
yes.
we British are all of the above.

Wouldn't surprise me if it goes back to xerox alto.
That doesn't mean that it's ultimately helpful, but it's so entrenched it seems harder tho change it than to fix it.

what with swastika flags and all. I'll be in trouble if someone has overseen my screen just then, being a german living in Britain.
