Microsoft didn't "break PNG". It just chose not to support alpha transparency. The authors of the PNG spec wisely allowed implementors to "support transparency control partially, or not at all".
Oh, and the screenshot is totally wrong. That's not what Opera 7.5 [opera.com] looks like by default at all.
If you choose non-targeted ads, it does look like Asa's screenshot (two navigation toolbars, etc).

The interesting thing is that by saying "All rights reserved until yyyy when this work will enter the Public Domain", the license prevents the work from being affected by retroactive copyright extension.
Why does it matter that traffic deaths are accidental? The victims are still dead. The deaths are preventable to roughly the same extent that terrorist attacks are preventable.
Suppose you had a billion dollars. You could spend it to prevent traffic deaths (improving intersections, road signage, driving education, and public ground transportation) and save 500 lives. Or you could spend it to combat terrorism (improving airport security, water monitoring, and intelligence) and save 200 lives. Would you spend your billion dollars on the latter only because there's pre-meditated murder involved?

I don't know how it works or how it protects against cheating.
Do not mention "but the pages linking to it contain the phrase!". That is only used for ranking of results, and not for actually finding the results.
That is not true. GWB's page contains neither "miserable" nor "failure", yet it's #1 for the phrase "miserable failure'. My pages don't contain "index of" or "fack", but they come up in searches containing those phrases anyway.
All Google image ads include two elements: your URL to fortify your branding and a feedback link that gives publishers and users a way to request improvements from Google.
We may resize your image vertically by 11 or 22 pixels (depending on the image format you've selected) to make room for these elements while still maintaining the standard overall image sizes. We will not, however, resize your image horizontally. Therefore, your image's proportions will appear slightly different from your original file.
If you'd like to maintain the original proportions of your images, we recommend that you resize them (or recreate them in the appropriate sizes) before you upload them. Your resized options are:
Then I realized that a Stack is a Stack and a Linked List is a Linked list and once you learn the syntax of the particular language you're working in, Computer Science is really language-neutral.
Pascal, C++, and Java are all imperative languages. Do you know any functional languages? The only one I know is SML, and programming in SML is very different from programming in C++ and Java.
persistent set of ads adjacent to the user's browser
My browser window is maximized. Will the ads appear to the left of my screen or to the right of my screen? I hope they appear to the left of my screen, because my password post-its are on the right side.
I'm a member of Mozilla's security group. I don't see any security-sensitive bugs containing 'qfa', 'feedback', or 'talkback' in the summary. I haven't seen a message about this hole on the security mailing list. So I think you're making stuff up.
Btw, would you call any program with an arbitrary-code-execution hole "spyware"? For example, if Mozilla itself (not Mozilla combined with Talkback) had such a hole, would that make Mozilla spyware?

I said breaking standards, not breaking PNG. Please don't misquote me.
You said "breaking PNG, CSS, HTTP, and the other myriad Internet standards out there". Quoting you as saying "breaking PNG" was not misquoting you.
Microsoft didn't "break PNG". It just chose not to support alpha transparency. The authors of the PNG spec wisely allowed implementors to "support transparency control partially, or not at all".

So you can have breakaway parts as long as you can recover and reuse each part?

* Banner: 468x49
* Leaderboard: 728x79
* Inline rectangle: 300x239
* Skyscraper: 120x578
It's not clear to me whether banner ads will always be 468x49 or if they'll sometimes be 468x60 (etc).
My blog doesn't contain the word "post" or the word "blog". It does contain "posted" and "blogging", though.
Even more convincing is the fact that the rainbow became a symbol of homosexuality in 1978, after the Apple logo was designed (1977).
Do you know of any browsers for Windows that don't implement their own widgets?
She had called me when it started the Sasser-driven shutdown process - until that happened she had written off the computer's misbehavior as normal.
Basically, most computer users buy it and expect it to work.
Is it just me, or do those statements seem to contradict each other?

I have the same objection/question as the AC, and you did not answer it.

Of course all good Windows-using Slashdotters visit Windows Update regularly and have a firewall
I don't understand why so many geeks promote using single-computer firewalls. Which makes more sense:
1. Run 5 unnecessary services that listen on various ports, then use a firewall to prevent anyone from connecting to them.
2. Don't run any of the services and don't use a firewall.

Hey rkaa. Do any digital cameras correct for their own motion like the human eye/brain do? It seems to me that could reduce the need for a tripod.
