I've been developing since V2 and the MX range has revitalised it as a dev environment. It gets a bad name because it's easy to write crap code, but if it's properly written and servers are properly managed there's not much you can't do with it.
I could go on, but I won't, cos you'll all get very, very bored if I start ranting.
That would work if the developer/writer/creative person knocked it up in precisely zero seconds. Otherwise how can it have no value, since somebody took some of their time to "create" it?
I think the value of information/services/software surely has to be relative to the amount of effort you would have to undertake to reproduce it yourself.
If you can't do it/find it/work it out and want it badly enough, then pay for it. Seems fair to me.
By your argument, if you want a decorator to paint your house you'll expect him (or her) to come round, paint your walls and just bill you for the paint! If you find a decorator who'll do that, can I get his number...
BSOD creates the "lasting emotional connection with users" referred to a couple of posts North of here...
Anger, Frustration, Hate - all are emotions...
But aren't different browsers going to render at different speeds/RAM footprints dependent on the rendering mode it's chosen for the doctype (i.e. compliant, quirky/loose, etc).
Tabbed browsing is in IE7 standalone, and works nicely (is doing as we speak).
Also includes some kind of "phishing site checker", RSS support (picks them out from page and can display from a single button), pop-up blocking, easy history deletion.
Seems pretty stable and not too memory hungry... so far
I find that something that helps there, particularly if different users have diferent data for the list is to use javascript.
Basically, create a session variable for the user (we'll call it cacheTimeStamp) with the current date/time to the hour (i.e. yymmddhh).
When the page with the drop-down list is called, check current timestamp. If it's expired, create a new javascript.js file & delete the old one.
Then, when the <script> tag is called, use thecacheTimeStamp value to ensure a current.js file is called and let the client browser handle the caching...
As I recall the theory goes that the whole increased brain capacity of man came about due to walking upright and the cooling effects of the elevated head.
I would imagine that the human style feet were part of this process.
I think that dogs (as an example) are outside of the process of natural selection. Breeds that would not survive in the wild have been artifically maintained by breeders into some of the freakish "dogs" that we have today to the detriment of their own quality of existence.
As an example of many different similar animals, I think birds fit this example (see Darwin & Finches). But many of the differences are enviromental rather than physical - i.e. they've adapted gradually to their enviroment
Returning to monkey feet though, I've seen me feet and they are pretty damned ugly!
That's not a criticism. I've heard some newer films slated for not meeting expectations lately: -
Alien V Predator - Fun film, no content, no oscar winning performances. Who cares? I, for one, wasn't expecting Shakespearean quality acting and depth of plot.
Van Helsing - Disappointing because I expected something with more calibre and got appalling dialogue. If I'd been expecting it I wouldn't care. But I wasn't.
Scooby Doo - appalling film, based on a fairly bad (totally out of ideas) cartoon. Both enjoyable.
My advice, know your movie. Don't go to watch "Cat in the Hat", whilst expecting to see "Last Passion of the Christ". You're only ever going to be disappointed...
My cat used to play fetch.
I had this high-powered rubber bouncy ball which I used to fling down a hall and she's go get the crazy bouncing thing, bring it back and drop it in front of me.
She doesn't any more tho, getting on a bit...
A long time ago a mate of mine went to Cambridge Polytechnic (Better than a college, worse than a university) had the Jim Bowen bar.
Unfortunately, not long after, they renamed it the Nelson Mandela bar...

When did you last look at CF?

welcome our new Pay-per-View overlords
Thanks. All I need now is a bunch of proprietory hardware and I'm away!
Nice.
How do they work with mucky old day to day css kludges? And were they written to deliberately pass the Acid Test i wonder?
Probably means they're working on a new WPA method and don't want to give the pirates a heads-up.
Plus it would be pretty pointless since it's Beta 1 and bound to expire.
Eh?

I'll second that!

According to my research here it works a treat.
Yay!
Tested it on a few sites where i'm currently working and they all still work. That's a good start if it didn't break anything.
It fails the Acid2 Test pretty spectacularly - but then what doesn't!

We need statistics dagnammit!
I've never like translucent windows. As soon as you get 3 or more layered opver each other, things start getting really illegible.
God only knows my addled brain has enough trouble staring at a screen all day without some bugger making my windows semi transparent.

It's also available seperately (IE7) so I'd imagine it's just included but not integral so neatly avoiding any new anti-trust issues...

Well if their work is anything like mine, it's blocked by the proxy server for being an "advocacy group" so they won't have seen it...

Why would you think that ?
Have you watched the BBC recently ?
*applause* God yes! I wouldn't definitely pay for that...
Yeah, but ultimately isn't it a kids film?

Oh please.
Bang they're through.
*Sigh* OK. I'm done.

I like the classic pointy ones
