Yep, there's a lot of "Windows is better because it has games, I don't care if I need to run five anti-virus and two firewall programs and have to do updates every week" Microsoft trolls and "Apple ripped OSS projects and never gave anything back and I want the source code and OGG is better than AAC" Linux trolls.
Show them a Keynote presentation instead. With a minimum of work, your slides will look a lot more professional, especially compared to anything I've ever seen done with PowerPoint.
Companies like Apple are perfectly happy having their own walled gardens of incompatible formats since they've made quite a business out of it. The lack of a good standard suits them just fine.
You mean "incompatible formats" like standard MPEG-4, H.264 and AAC? Those aren't proprietary to Apple at all and any decent/modern player should be able to play these files properly (as long as there's no DRM involved).
I do test with the latest official non-alpha/non-beta versions, so unless someone screws something up pretty badly the websites should still continue to work as with the earlier versions.
Now if only there was a way to detect CSS properties like we can detect objects in javascript, it would be much easier.
It's not because I can't, it's because I don't bother to test with alpha and beta versions. No need to waste hours to hunt down a bug when you don't really know if the problem comes from the browser.
I'm glad to see that Firefox will join Safari in supporting both corner-radius and box-shadow. I hope the next Opera update will add both, because right now it doesn't support either!
I they used the same Z80 as the original GameBoy, you get nearly 1024 opcodes. If that seems a bit backward (when looked from a RISC point of view), imagine being able to set or test register bits with only 2 opcodes, without messing around with other registers.
There was probably other nifty things it could do, but I can't remember as I haven't done GB-Z80 assembly in over a decade.
How about box-shadow? Yes the specs aren't official yet but you could still, you know, make it with the vendor prefix.
It would also allow you to try to introduce better parameters (type of contour, for one) that other browsers could pick up, so the W3C can add it as an official parameter. That's why vendor prefixes exist AFAIK.
If they are breaking the law, such as driving through a red light (which is especially stupid and dangerous considering they're the ones on bicycles) then yes they should be given a ticket and/or arrested.
However they say they won in court for their right to protest. I'm not sure if they were causing disruption or not, I didn't post the link to debate the issue, only to show that YouTube can also be used against police officers.
And that officer didn't arrest that guy nor did he make any sign asking for the cyclist to stop, he pushed him into the sidewalk. If that's not assault then I don't know what is. A normal citizen does that to someone else and you can sue their ass (especially in the USA). I hope this guy loses his job because what he did was abuse of power and puts yet again a bad image on law enforcement.

I love cheesy poofs,
You love cheesy poofs.
If we didn't eat cheesy poofs,
We'd be... Lame.

Nah, asking for registration is just the commercial version of trolling.

But not VGA nor S-Video. It's also restricted to 16:9 output only, it doesn't have any option for 4:3.
So does anyone know if the Mac version is going to have SecuROM?
Will the Wii version be the same as the PC/Mac? With the same features, etc?

NASA owes most slashdotters a whole lot of money!
So, does that make Cuil the "Spore" of search engines?
If Amazon's service is available to Canadians? Yes.
As a Canadian, Google checkout is useless to me, I'm stuck with PayPal only.
Make your system work between USA/Canadian buyers/sellers, unlike Google who is limited to the USA and the UK.
Title should have been "AT&T to cut off P2P users on 3G".
... WoW players who use their cellphone to connect to the internet. :D
Ok, maybe that will only be a splash instead of a wave.
From World of Warcraft players.
At the next patch/update of the game, you'll receive a boatload of calls from angry customers.

I know the perfect amazon tribe to shoot arrows!
So what you're saying is that's a race between the end of mankind and Duke Nukem Forever?
t the coupons to be available sh... Buffering...
Thanks for the info, I never install alpha or beta versions (gotta stick with official releases to test websites).

What do you mean? An african or an european rupee?
Nah, it was calculated by Verizon.
