The book's site doesn't validate, either. That isn't a huge sin in my book, but I see that the site uses named colors (black, gold, navy) for attributes. This is a no no.
The more sensible CSS zealots seem to accept the "hybrid layout" concept. It's OK to use a table here and there if CSS browser bugs are causing too many problems. But the days of tables nested 10 levels deep and spacer gifs and crap like that are gone.
The "CSS" in the title stands for "Cascading Style Sheets", a highly flexible way of formatting Web content. Core CSS, 2nd Edition takes a practical, pragmatic look at CSS, showing not only how you can make CSS1, CSS2 and Internet Explorer CSS extensions work for you now...
I can't imagine a serious book on CSS talking about IE CSS extensions. People interested in this topic should get Zeldman's book, or the latest O'Reilly CSS guide by Eric Meyer.
It just wasn't cool to be smart. The smart kids go teased and beat up.
America has a long history of anti-intellectualism, even though it is science and reason that has carried this country so far. It does't help that the current administration is anti-science and anti-education (I don't care what they say, look at what they do...cut stem cell research, take down information on government web sites, make it harder for low income students to get loans, the list goes on...).
My programs don't have a lot of bugs when they are finished. I think the reason is that I physically cannot code for more than 15 minutes without compiling and running. Obviously, my programs do have bugs that turn up when they're "done". But I catch a helluva lot before that time becuase I test each little bit of functionality as I build it.
What I like about my local libraries are the excellent online catalogs. I can browse Amazon, and if I see a book I like, I can see if it is available at my library.
If you think you might be happier working in a factory, get a weekend part-time job with one and see how good it is.
I worked in 100+ degree greenhouses during the summer. I also worked in a shipping building were we moved around boxes containing the most boring crap imaginable (financial brochures). I was in school at the time, and both jobs were a constant reminder that I should work my ass off so I could get a real job. I'll take a little stress over ungodly heat, back pain, standing for 8 hours, and dealing with ghetto boys any day.
All jobs have stress. Just be happy your job has some creativity in it, too.
Before I even finished reading this headline, the words "XML" went through my mind. This seems like the obvious choice, especially if you want to pipe it to web browsers.
And what's all this talk about losiness? Aren't most 3D formats essentially groups of points and lines?
I think in 20 years, we're going to look back at this time period, shake our heads, and be baffled that we ever let end users handle their own security. They obviously cannot be trusted.
When you work for a big company (as I do), you are trained about using passwords and computers securely (although the training is pretty obvious). Joe Sixpack who signed up for Netzero and thinks online banking is really cool never got this training.
You're posting on Slashdot and you haven't figured out how to use Google yet? If one of the sites in a Google search is junk, skip it and move on. There are TONS of sites out there that document FOX's right wing bias.
Well, I don't have any examples off the top of my head, but the patterns of right-wing bias are not hard to find. In most political news stories on Brit Hume's show, The Democrats' position is always summed up by some clumsy and apparently self-serving sound bite. The Republican position is elegantly summarized by the FOX reporter, regardless of whether any Republicans are so well spoken on the matter.
If you want more concrete examples, you can easily Google "fox bias"
Wonkette is one of those sites that, when you first see it, you're like, "Oh my god, this is a great site! It's witty and informative!"
By Day 5, you're thoroughly sick of reading about Karl Rove sightings at Pottery Barn, or how long John Kerry's schlong is. It doesn't take long to get a feel for Ms. Cox's range.
My relationship with Fox News is love/hate. They are undeniably right-wing and sleazy. But they are more lively than CNN. Besides, if you're serious about news, you AREN'T watching TV. You're reading the Washington Post, New York Times, MSNBC, Slate, Salon, and a ton of other online sources. The only TV that is truly enlighteneing is C-SPAN.
Presumably some kind of Grandfather clause could be written for older vehicles.
As for calibration, yes, there are issues there. But now we are talking about fraud. The government already knows how many miles you've driven your car. There are severe penalities for altering odometer readings. I don't see how altering a black box would be much different.
I think any day from Monday to Thursday, from 8:00pm onward, would be a great time. The Sunday pre-8:00pm timeslot SUCKS. It sends a message that a show isn't important, and it's inconvenient. I'm usually watching 60 Minutes at that point.
Unless they meant 40% of all people who *died* in that age range. I can believe that, since young people usually die from preventable cuses - suicide, car crashes - as opposed to diseases.

Mozelle is going to change his name to Firefred.
What part of HTML resembles GOTO's?
Put the Piano Man behind the wheel in one of these things and you got a WMD on your hands.

My point was that 3D graphics seem more like vector data. I don't see how you can be "lossy" when it comes to vectors.

PS: Blender rules.
If it's based on a Ralph McQuarrie design, I have faith. A lot of his unused concept art kicks ass.

I just can't get angry at this. Most modern cars already have data recorders that monitor what was happening when the "Check Engine" light goes on.
If black boxes mean I have an objective witness when some a-hole hits me at 98mph, I say bring on the black boxes.

When you go home and get those stupid credit card offers in the mail, fill the envelope with trash and mail it back. That's what I do.

Or when the news anchors themselves commit suicide.
