If you disregard the US rethoric, invading Iraq has sent the message that you need WMD in order to keep the americans at bay. That is why Iran and NK pursue them as fast as they can.
Whereas Iran and NK were only pursuing WMD at a reasonable pace before...
the book stores make money off you browsing through their books. Some of that money makes its way back to the publishers. In the case of Google, none of that money goes to the publisher.
that too many geeks have an anti-social or anti-authority streak which manifests itself as refusal and/or indignation at anything smelling of patriotism.
"The problem is that most people don't accept their station in life and try to live beyond their means.. This ALWAYS catches up with them.. And the credit history is a metric of this."
No, credit history can be an indicator of this. You do know that the majority of bankruptcies are caused my large medical bills, right?
"5. There has been a proliferation of "insane" sellers who don't bother to check the competition before posting an item on ebay. Take for example focus_technology. He has a Cisco 2509 listed for $450. 2509's have been selling for around $75. No 2509 has sold for more than $200 this year. Such behavior results in a lot of effectively invalid listings that clutter a potential buyer's view, discouraging them from continuing the search. eBay encourages this behavior by allowing sellers to relist an item cheaply or for free."
This isn't insanity. This is sellers attempting to set the market price for an item. If you have 10 items to sell, you split that into two groups of five. The first five you list above market value with a BuyItNow. The second five you list slightly below market value. You sell the second group, and probably one or two from the first group. Even if you don't sell any from group one you have still flashed five auctions in front of viewers that effectively alters the eBay price of an item.
Ya, because an artist would never decide to actually sign a recording contract unless that RIAA goon didn't have a gun to their head!
Has the thought ever occured to you that most artist know exactly what their getting into when they sign: that they've chosen not to go independent, for a myriad of reasons, but rather to go with a larger label?
So your big beef is that the artist isn't getting enough of the pie. Well aren't you a Robin Hood. Who ever asked you for representation? That computer you bought last year: how much of the money that you spent went to the chief cpu architect designer? Not enough? Well then just start ripping off computers and send your check straight to him/her.
It only has to be proven that the tabs in question are the same as the copyrighted ones. Of course, this will never be proven because as anyone who has actually used online tabs knows...they're never 100% correct. Usually only about 40-80%, enough to get the basic progression down.

That's dada's point, without consistent CSS & HTML standards implementation in browsers, you're non-Flash site may just work worse for more of your audience than the Flash version, even accounting for the single-digit % of browsers without the plugin.
You're rule of thumb is correct: best practices is to reach for the widest possible audience.
Second Rule: depending on your audience and budget, you may be better off going with a CSS HTML alternate such as Flash.

Thanks for that link: it's has been a while since I took GIMP for a ride around the block, and the reason I didn't end up using it more, is because of the non-Adobe interface.
I use Photoshop daily, from creating graphics to photo manipulation. On a daily basis, I probably never use more than 5% of Photoshop's capability, so I'm not really interested in any new features, or tools. And while I don't use those other tools that often, I do know pretty much exactly where they are. Which is great, because it means that I know where to find those tools when I'm working in inDesign or Illustrator. I also use Flash quite a bit, and for me, Adobe as the new owner/developer is a good thing.
Yes, I'm aware of GIMP's stellar batch processing capabilities, but Photoshop's limited functionality there has served me fine.

I read your rant, looked around, and couldn't find the peanuts. Make sure to let everyone else know that they're four behind...
I guess it's just a cultural difference...
Wish I had mod points left...
To just let China do whatever they want, without consequence? Sounds "disproportionate".

Why are we only considering the really famous ones?
More kids today have credit cards than in any time in history.
if you also consider musicians "the little guy".
It's our sense of humor leaking out.

Or you could just pay the $5/month. Jeez!

It's returning an error for all my searches, not just "google". One more search engine that I'll probably never use again.
