Isn't Acid2 a test on how a browser handles errors? If all browsers handled errors the same way, then couldn't some errors end up turning into standards?
Acid2 feels like a step in the right and wrong direction at the same time.
"So if you need to transmit an international distress signal then stop by any local store and turn on a Toshiba flat-screen TV. We should be able to locate you in a matter of minutes."
I probably would have never known about this if I hadn't read about it here on Slashdot. I need to look outside more often since Mount St. Helens is in viewable range of my window.
It drives me nuts that there still isn't an option to turn off the alert on completed downloads (that shows up near the taskbar in Windows). It's annoying when I go to download something, go into a game, and then when the download is complete and that alert comes up it breaks me out of the game.
I know I can go into about:config and turn the key "browser.download.manager.showAlertOnComplete" to false, but I'd like to see an option for it in the downloads section.
Another annoyance I found is that it seems to block all of the popups on Gmail now, even if the site has loaded completely unless you put gmail.google.com into your allowed popups. I guess that isn't a big deal, but interesting to note.
Would this stop the development of BitTorrent? I was never sure if BitTorrent was really a P2P program or just a new way to transfer files that shares bandwidth and helps out sites that have high bandwidth consumption when they release new products (didn't Mozilla offer a BitTorrent download once?)
How is a P2P program classified? Couldn't just about any data sent from one computer to another computer be considered P2P?
I had the chance to see this film at the North American premier at the Seattle International Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. I won't reveal any spoilers, but I thought it was a great film. It's visually amazing! Some of the visuals in the film just made me want to wet my pants practically. The animators went through great lengths to make this film visually great.
Instead of confusing philosophy (like the Matrix sequels or the first Ghost in the Shell) they used Japanese poems to convey ideas in the storyline. The story feels pretty simplistic or at least enough to the point that you're not having to watch the movie three times to just understand everything that they're talking about.
Also unfortunately unlike the first Ghost in the Shell the storyline follows primarily Batou and also Togusa (who has become Batou's partner, but everyone has doubts about how the two operate together) instead of the Major in the first one (I guess it isn't really unfortunate since Batou seriously kicks some ass, but I really liked the first one how it followed the Major and the presence she gave in the first Ghost in the Shell).
Anyway, I can't wait to see this again! Great movie. I still don't feel it's as good as the first one, but definitely a good sequel to it.
Slashdot Mirror
Exactly.
You have to look at how long IMDB has been around, how long has it had a large user base, and look at the movies that have come out during that time.
Obviously current movies from when IMDB has been popular--likely during the current decade--will have more movies on the 250 highest ranked list.
I think you'll also see a comparison with the lowest 100 list that most of the movies fall during the same or last decade.
Films that are current and new will the films most voted and reviewed on.

It seems nice, but when will the Gecko engine pass the Acid 2 test?
Jabber anyone?
... or is that not an option?
Get Mozilla Firefox It doesn't make that annoying sound when you click on links.
