I mean, at first glance, I thought: "hey, this is a great use for FLAC". Then I realized that because FLAC takes so much CPU time to decompress, CD players that could play it don't exist (if they did, they'd be more expensive). Just give me a standard CD and I'll rip it myself, thanks.
Maybe they won't sue you - but security will stop you, if you have a nice-looking camera. Even if that's just 'cuz they think, "hey, that camera looks big" (yeah, it's a really old digital. duh!) "i think it must be professional".
As a sibling of the parent noted, why not donate some (say, one million dollars) to the Open Office organization as a bounty for adding certain features - including, perhaps, a grammar checker.
Or we could fix this friggin' educational system of ours so we don't *rely* on the damn thing.
How exactly don't they understand the First Amendment? I know about the 36% of HS students who think journalists should be required to get government approval before publishing, but how do you think journalists don't understand it?
The GP means that the KHTML rendering engine (which Safari uses) was developed by the Konq team for Konqueror. Much as the Gecko engine is used by Mozilla, FF and Camino, KHTML is used by Konq and Safari. IE, IIRC, uses Trident.
No. If it was called Dotslash, then it would suggest that. As the FAQ says, it's because of the pronunciation: "aitch tee tee pee colon slash slash slash dot dot com".
Erm... have you heard about the Sokal hoax? It explains a lot about academic communities that take themselves too seriously, to the point of assuming that incoherency is equivalent to sophistication.
And low-res - you could probably write a script to get the image in a better resolution, and make it general case (i.e., open the html as text, select the table, and have it parse that, as the simple but inelegant way to do it).
So... tabbed browsing and security doesn't add value over IE? Standards compliance isn't an improvement over IE? Easy installation of extensions isn't an improvement over IE? (I can't compare with Opera, as I've never used it.)
It's already illegal (in the states) to telemarket to a cell phone. On the few instances my cell phone's been called by a telemarketer, they've freaked as soon as I told 'em it was a cell.
Erm... let's say that's $30/month for each phone (both cells, plus the landline). At $90 a month, given that you're dealing with all sorts of crap setting it up, and that the quality won't be good (degraded at every switch from one place to the next), wouldn't it be smarter to go with something like Verizon's unlimited minutes (including long distance) plan for about $95 a month?
I don't work for Verizon; I just use 'em 'cuz Cingular coverage in my area is weak. I'm sure other providers have similar plans.
You make a good point, but a bad analogy. There's not much car mf'grs can do to prevent drunk driving with the exception of breathalyzer-interlocks, which are already in use as punishment for DUI/DWIs in some places. And consumers would not accept such a system.
IANAL, but IIRC, you get seven years right off the bat, that you can extend (by renewing with the USPTO) to 17 or 20 years (not sure). This is, of course, US law only.
Nope. This took in the signal from the keyboard, recorded it, and passed it unchanged (barring minor quantum crap;-) ) to the PS/2 port. As far as the computer was concerned, there was no difference.
"Know what you're doing" == "CYA". Basically, paint the thing to be etched and cut with an exacto where you want the cuts. Create an electric current in a salt bath, and use the piece to be etched as the (negative or positive, I forget) electrode. Watch out for methane; not really that hazardous, just do it outside (or have proper ventilation - if you had it, you'd know it) and don't smoke around it.

Yes, I do. Oops. Well, in my defense, slashdot.com does redirect to slashdot.org, and .com is what I used when I originally discovered it.

Hey, you even managed to get a bug in there - very appropriate!
Erm ... have you heard about the Sokal hoax? It explains a lot about academic communities that take themselves too seriously, to the point of assuming that incoherency is equivalent to sophistication.

Which is stupid. The ADA doesn't apply there, and neither do other equal opportunity laws.
So ... tabbed browsing and security doesn't add value over IE? Standards compliance isn't an improvement over IE? Easy installation of extensions isn't an improvement over IE? (I can't compare with Opera, as I've never used it.)
And for those web devs who are really stupid, "Print Screen" (yes, I actually saw a guy do this ...).

Amen. We (the disabled, not just the deaf) don't want excuses or pity. A level playing field and some human dignity is all we want.

At my company, we forward everything to a gmail account, then POP it back to our servers. Everything gmail marks as spam, we put in the spam folder.

No, not really. But now I have this irresistable urge to go implement such a filter
We have the technology to do that now ... problem is, some other stuff might also be turned off.

I think it's partially dependent on how fast your machine reads and renders the code. I see it at work, but not at home.
Informative? Methinks the mods are on crack.
A fan? Isn't that one of the great things about the mini, that it has no fan, and thus is quieter?
