I disagree, why should the coder HAVE to do work arounds/fixes just to get his site to work with non standards compliant browsers?
Standards are there for exactly this reason, the only reason why people NEED to do work arounds etc, is because IE is so damn entrenched on the internet.
I aplaud the GP for his firm stance and I hope it doesn't affect him economically, although maybe a change of phrasing could make his IE visitors less put out.
o, the mail server is a dedicated box, and thee are limits to how many processes it will spawn. What it will do is queue a bunch of messages and work through the backlog. I can build a $3k box (plus the cost of a storage array if needed) that will handle a 20Mbit stream of mail all day long. This isn't rocket science.
Perhaps this should start out as "no my mail server is a dedicated box..."?
Actually what I think the proper terminology is:
"No, MOST mail servers run on a dedicated box!"
For this we know to be true!
Now, what I REALLY like about MS Office is the consistency, everything is the same across all the apps in the suite. Like multiple docs in word each have their own entry in the task bar, but then multiple spreadsheets in Excel all live in the same taskbar icon - NICE.
although I agree with your statement on the colour aspect I don't think SI2 is a 'good' level of inclusions
for those of you not up on your diamond clarity scale it goes:
** Best at Top **
IF (Internally flawless)
VVSI1-VSI2 (Very Very Small Inclusions)
VSI1-VSI2 (Very Small Inclusions)
SI1-SI2 (Small Inclusions)
I1-I3 (inclusions)
so as can be seen a grade fo SI2 is pretty bad, I would say DeBeers need a good colour plus a good clarity, nothing less than VS1 IMHO. And just for completeness the colour scale goes from D (the best - clear or blue) to Z (yellow), so again they would not want anything less than G or H I would think, seeing as how hard it is to get a pure D diamond.
plus I don't think man made diamonds are ever going to eclipse natural ones for jewelry, there is just no cache (can't be bothered to find the accented e at the end of that word) attached to them.
tsk, you true to crack a joke and look what happens you get modded as a troll.
the worst it should have been was off-topic, I am not trying to incite people here, just spread a bit of mirth.
to paraphrase the Kurgan - "Mods! no sense of Humour."
I sympathise with your predicament, but blaming Apple is hardly going to solve anything.
They have to release new product at some point, they can't hold off until NO-ONE in the world is thinking of buyinh a mac and then release then can they?
as the saying goes - shit happens, have another beer.
it's not just the US public that are as thick as a bag of crank smokers.
I had this one guy call up when I was a helldesk geek in the UK, saying he couldn't dial up using his modem. So I went to see what the problem was and the man had plugged his modem lead into a radiator!!!!
I am not kidding, the radiator in question was one of these storage heater jobs that was hardwired into a closed power outlet, the end where the coiled power lead went into the rad was an RJ-11 socket - no idea why. But our man unplugs it and slaps the modem lead in!!!!
I had to quickly plug him into the proper telephone socket and leave before killing myself with laughter in front of him!
I find it hard to believe that Mr. Lucas is possible of travelling back in time and somehow tainted a person's viewing of EP 4 when it first came onto the big screen. What? he took a dump on everyone's lap whilst they were watching the film or he has somehow altered every whining slashdotters memory of that first magical viewing!!
This is the only way he can ruin the Star Wars of my youth. what he actually has done is ruin the Star Wars of TODAY'S youth!!

that TV series, what was it - second coming? - he played a bit of a weirdo...
Yes it was called the second coming, penned by the current dr who writter Russell T Davies and you might say he played a bit of a weirdo....
OR... you could say he played the second coming of our lord and saviour Jesus Christ (not my saviour btw, but subtly different from a bit of a weirdo).
also played a 'regular' detective seargeant in the fantastic tv series Cracker with Robbie Coltrane and a lack lustre villian in gone in 60 seconds
Mod parent up, a very true and succinct reply. you would have thought he could have stuck it out for at least 2 series, he has done a variery of work before it is not like this is his first gig!
bah! actors no stamina these days!
The parent is modded insightful???? WTF, OMG etc etc
surely funny is the more appropriate response, anyone who can't keep track of a bankcard is either a stark staring genius who shouldn't really be allowed outside without supervision or a complete dunderhead (how long has it been since you heard that word?) who again, should not be allowed outside without supervision!

you must be either trolling or on crack. There is this concept called testing, it's quite handy in all the areas you describe - try it some time!

What do you mean START dressing like some from the matrix and talking in tech jargon?
I've been a Windows user for close to 15 years now and I'm still waiting.
What for? it to boot!!
no, no, your too generous really, try the beef it's great.
Darlic??
is that the sex-bot equiv of a dalek??
Everytime I see a wireless mouse I just think... how often do you want to use the mouse 6ft away from the computer?
When you are sat on your sofa and your PC is under the TV acting as a media centre.
my sig says it all really!!

It's "cachet", no accent.
Aha, thanks for that, here I was thinking it was aFrenchy type of word all along. I sit corrected.

Wow, you managed to deduce all that from one single post on /.?
