I been a very happpy Canon owner, I think they have been doing a great job:
-transparent ink carterages (so you can *see* when they run out of ink) -cheap ink (compared with epson and hp) -good drivers -changable printhead -linux drivers
I think the company has been partically none-evil and that this deserves a quick mention
Ok, the current WAIG guidelines state that you have to : -pre-fill input boxes with content (can be confusing), -that you should use access keys (pointless and incompatible with most screen readers), -that you need to beable activate scripts with your keyboard OR mouse (try tabbing or pressing space when you mouse is over a link with a popup [i know - but popups can be useful sometimes]), -use relative instead or absolute units (this is easy, but sometimes you need to clear a background image [think bullet point, plus you can't scale background images] by exactly 10px, em's will not do, and cause problems when you scale) -that you have to use the latest W3C technologies (hello? jpgs!!!) -has no real room for the use of flash (which i personnally think is completly not accessible or usable, but you can't just ignore it)
Are just some of the GUIDELINES that i choose to sometimes ignore. People need to remember the the GUIDELINES are just that-GUIDELINES. You need to use common sense sometimes, and not follow them if something is more usable than if you didn;t
Accessibility is very important, but people seems to forgot about USABILITY when making things accessible.
When making a program (or a website) then you need to be BOTH!
The accessibility guidelines can sometimes be followed too closely and makes things COMPLETELY UNSABLE for those who most need it, and have no improvement for anyone else.
I work as a web developer and see deadful things all the time (I've seen people put alt tags on bullet points!), which could be avoided if people would think alittle (or just look at what overs advise) and follow the guidelines where approperiate.
It strikes me that they tried to sue her into closing the site and they have failed, maybe instead they should have thanked her for pointing out where these violantions where taking place and tried to stop them.
Most of the "infringments" seem minor at best, this kiind of bad publicty can't seem worth it now!
By producing "this magic fuel" in a powerstation and not in every car on the planet, at least the polution : - is in one place (a small number compared to the amount of cars) - can be monitored more exactly - can be improved at any time without having to replace every car - can be filtered more effectively (carburetors are only effective after being warmed up for about 10 minutes, which is a shorter time period than many journeys) - can be polution free (see iceland) - moves polution from population centers thus improving health
I'm sure i could go on / get sources for all these statements, but i can't be arsed
I really don't think China is a big as a problem as America, at least China is trying with 0 emission towns and citys, and I still produces ALOT less polution per person than America.
5-7 months and $20 million dollars is what it takes for the lawyers to draw up a viable contract for production, installation, service and maintenance of these things.
Its not in-fact a terribly long times, I would say that is it quick. If you sent Boeing a request for 5 planes it would probably take longer before they started any production work.

But what about ram, would my ram be fast enough to receive at that speed?
Why is it that you think putting some measures to protect civil rights equates to a North Korea type government.
You only need to go to most Countries in Europe to see just this happening, in France they control what you are allowed to play on the radio (you have to play a certain percentage of french artists per hour etc...)
Dispite what you might think, it is a nice play to live and I feel free to do what I want to yet protective enough to stop blatant discrimination and the like.
I would guess that they just changed the fequency of the controller.
Most modern devices will detect interference and change to a 'quieter' channel, i guess wallmats stuff was too cheap or too old to do this and thus the interfernce.
I can see this being a issue unless it is easy to change the band that the controllers are on as lots of folk have phones and networks that could potentialy clash.
What is he doing using a $600 professional software package to edit photos anyway! This is not a program for your parents to edit their home home holiday snaps on, but a design tool that is very good at what is does.
I have very few compliants about how complex this software is to use and most of them involve finding and editing muliple layers which shouldn't be a concern if you are editing photos.
Its sounds to me that Picasa would be more to his liking or even MSPaint (and I'm not joking)
I doubt he is a troll, they are resonable questions if you ask me, and in a foreign environment evening knowing how to "install" can be an issue.
As for mulitmedia support, this can be a horrible issue for new users, where do you even begin. In windows you can just ask a geek friend and he will tell you which site to goto to download a codec pack and "install".//apart from the "smileys" bit, you can just ignore that part.
I'm pretty confident that the global temperature of this and nearby planets is increasing. I'm not sure of the rate of increase of what effect that will have 50 years from now.
Will taking actions to cut pollution and reduce particle and chemical emissions overall worldwide to clean the air (with the side effect possibly reducing the temperature) help our kids and our health be such a bad thing.
We all live on this planet and with a population of 6 Billion we are going to make a fair amount of mess between us, but we should start to take steps to be responsible for the mess and try to control and reduce it rather than eat into natural resources (like our rainforest's) .
Perhaps walk or get public transport to work (or just live closer to where you work) instead of driving SUVs, let you clothes dry outside in the sun instead of using a drier and eat locally produced food. I dare note mentioning sorting rubbish and recycling here.
All these things are easy to do and the very least we should be doing and as a side effect will maybe help us slow down this temperature rise that could be devastating for millions of people.

I think you just made that fact up!

What you say is true, but you have to ask yourself why has this company tried to sue her for $2 million!
Is what she is doing really wrong?

You can with a Iaudio m3 and x3, its kinda cool, although it does mean slightly increased boot up times.
Well worth it for me.
In Preferences->Adavanced->Content makw sure enable inline frames is enabled if it isn't then gmail can choke.
