I was surprised that none of the large news sites had text-only versions of the data. You don't lose a lot of information or usability converting small tables to plain text, and you save a whole lot of bandwidth. It might have had something to do with the fact that browsers don't turn urls in plain text documents into hyperlinks, because the sites want to be able to link to at least a few articles (as well as to the graphical version) and Windows users have no other quick way to jump to urls from text documents.
YES
A YES vote on this measure means: New contribution and voluntary spending limits will be established for state elective offices. Limits pre-viously adopted by the voters for state and local offices, which have not been im-plemented because of a pending lawsuit, would be repealed. The new limits are higher than those that would be repealed.
NO
A NO vote on this measure means: Existing contribution and voluntary spending limits for state and local elective offices enacted by a voter-approved initiative would not be repealed.
Assuming abcnews has been working on that page for a while, I'm surprised they didn't set the page up to work with Mozilla. Netscape 6 is coming out rsn. Not that casing for document.all (ie4/ie5), document.layers (ns4), and document.getElementById (ie5/moz) is fun or anything...
I've had IE become unstable under heavy loads several times recently. It doesn't crash, but it makes windows freeze and I have to ctrl-alt-del it. In all instances where I decided that I had to have a bunch of windows open (for example, when I was reading old slashdot issues and had mod points), I switched to Mozilla and didn't have any problems -- even when Windows started refusing to open new notepad.exe windows.
PDT has been pushing for crash fixes or kludges(over security or standards compliance fixes), and whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, it has made recent Mozilla trunk builds quite stable as well as branch builds.
the best part is the huge percentage of questions where yes/no wasn't good enough and a little asterick denotes "but" so you really don't know what half the candidates think of half the issues anyway.
Fortunately, the article includes links that show how each candidate would probably respond to the list of questions:
Why isn't Nader participating in the webwhiteblue debate? Is he so frustrated that he wasn't able to get into the televised debates that he won't accept a smaller offer? Does he think his "I was excluded from the debates" campaign will suffer if he agrees to participate in this online debate? Any other ideas?
slashdot cert and cert slashdot give different results at the top. Maybe that's useful for some people, but I like my search results to be consistent and would rather add more search terms than reorder them when I don't find what I'm looking for immediately.
Only 50? You're lucky. Karmawhore.org has hundreds, and they trick you into thinking you opened them intentionally, with silly reasons like "to check if any news was posted in the last 3 minutes". The site even uses some kind of trick to make the pop-ups come back after you kill your browser or reboot.
Yeah, I did that (or something like that), so it doesn't check my floppy drive on boot. I can understand it wanting to know what kind of disk is in there if there's a disk in the drive, but if the drive is empty, it seems to me that it should be able to figure that out mechanically.
does anyone know why floppy drives take time on the order of seconds to determine whether or not they contain a disk? That increases boot time quite a bit on systems with floppy drives.

- 370,000 pages.
spe lling email - 275,000 pages (quotes matter???)
spelling email "e mail" - 125,000 pages, the first ten of which have "e-mail" in their titles, except for the eighth.
--
I'd like to see an article from a major newspaper that uses the word "like" for, like, every part of speech.
--
my.netscape.com advertises email. Mozilla mostly uses email. Slashdot uses email in prefs.
Therefore, the correct spelling is "email".
