Seriously. I know you're somewhat joking, but unfortunately, to it, there lies a huge truth. Since what? Forever? We've had to deal with developing for dual browsers. Now the problems just get more obscure as we push the boundaries of development.
Just recently I had a very simple JavaScript fail because of IE's handling of the tag and a javascript interaction with it. It was something completely unexpected and unfortunate. I've worked around the issue, but it was not ideal. And yes, for those that scream out "JavaScript" sucks, you're right. But seriously, most problems lay in IE's shitty implementation of script. For something to work in Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Safari and even NS4 (Yes, for real) is completely inexcusable for Microsoft. They should be embarrassed.
Hopefully with Gecko 2 pushing the next full version of JavaScript, (are they still?) IE will be hot on the coattails to keep up.
can you REALLY tell the difference between 256khz and 512khz (hint: if you say 'yes', you are lying).
It's already been established you meant kbps.
But, yes, you can. Instead of your iPod headphones or car stereo, listen to the difference in an actual studio or club with a properly tuned sound system. And I don't mean self-powered Mackies or Yorkvilles running off of a Pioneer 600. Try something with a Rane or Allen & Heath with Turbo Sound, then we'll talk!
The difference between 256 and 320 and WAV is noticeable in both the crispness of high-hats and the warm of the mids / synths of a track. Under 320 it almost seems logarithmic how quickly the sound deteriorates.
I got modded troll for my above comment, awesome! For that one mod who didn't understand: it was a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek remark - allow me to explain:
Amongst DJs and trainspotters (people who just stare at the DJ and try to find out what tracks I'm playing, not Ewen MacGregor) there's a constant huge genre / sub-genre debate. Techno is actually pretty specific in the sounds and layout of the track. As is house, trance, break beat, drum and bass. They're mostly a 4/4 layout, but you'd be surprised what a little syncopation or different thinking can do for a track.
In each genre there's your good and bad music. It falls under every genre. Then each genre has its sub-genres. But all of these fall under dance / electronic dance music. You get your sweeping synths, annoying vocals and played out sounds that are used over and over again in the same key. You get little variety it seems. Unless you go digging - this was one of the big joys of buying vinyl (and still is for me) to find those different tracks that help round out my DJ set. But to the common person, "they all sound the same, like, Carson would never put this on TRL!"
Anyway, I'm off track a bit - though you can say dance music to anything you can dance to, yeah, I can see from where you might be coming.
EDM Guide - you've probably seen this before, but this shows how banal and trivial differences in genres / sub-genres can be.
This is exactly it and it drives me insane, especially with some of the independent (dance) labels. To make it even better, it's not even by label, but by the track. Artist A might sell a track to two different labels - one for the EU and the UK and another label for the US.
What makes it even more retarded is that the remix / version you want is always on the other label which you're not allowed to buy.
Most of the other stores are smarter, unfortunately, and you just can't go and change your location. So, you get to have fun finding a proxy that truly is in the territory from where you want to pretend to be.
In the UK, you'd usually need them to make a special arrangement with their insurers for this (i.e., they call the insurer, tell them that you'll be driving the car, give them some basic information about you, and pay a small extra premium to have you covered).
Well, in the U.S. if it's a one-time thing or very rare occurrence, you probably don't need to inform your carrier. At least that's how it was with the company for whom I worked (Progressive). And this is several years since, so, readers: please do your own homework as rules may have changed.
If they drive it with some frequency even say once a month, they may need to be a rated driver. If you fail to inform them and your friend wrecks it and they're at fault: If they discover while handling your claim your friend is a frequent driver, it puts your claim at risk of being denied.
Being insured is a state of the driver, not the vehicle.
I think you're referring to the UK, but if you're referring to the U.S., 99.999% of the time insurance follows the vehicle. Yes, policies do exist which follow the Named Insured, but, again, in the U.S. they are rare and more expensive. The vehicle is insured and policy rates are based on the state of the driver (driving history, sometimes credit). We don't have the luxury of a grace period for proving we have insurance. Many officers will call to verify coverage in the event of a missing ID card or other acceptable proof of insurance, however if by chance you forget with whom you have insurance, some states will tow your car on the spot (New York) and you may even be arrested.
If you do not have insurance or a car (therefore no need for insurance) and borrow a friend's car to drive, you are driving under your friend's policy which follows their car.
Most of the time, the only time it follows the driver is if you rent a car. Most insurance policies follow the driver in this instance. This does varies by company so you may want to ask what your insurance company's policy is in regards to rental cars.
It's still up there in usage. But with FF2.0 (release from today), with a browser I've been using for the past 2.5 hours, memory consumption is half of what it used to be (120 instead of the usual 24/250). Granted it's still a long way from IE - but as someone who has no clue could it be IE fleshes out most of its work to the operating system and doesn't have to rely on memory in one app or would that just make no sense?
Are there any memory comparisons for IE vs FF on OSX? (Yes, I know IE is worthless on OSX).
And all that Family Friendliness stops when you try to cancel your account. I'm not just talking about that one guy who recorded his calls either. When I canceled 5 years ago it took me two hours and three seperate calls.
Does your Vista, like mine, constantly tell you that surfing the internet is a security risk?
The mention of MS clubbing you over the head about security is spot on and it's annoying. These "risks," which have always been around, is starting to cause me some confusion as to who is actually distributing Vista... By MS or by the Bush Administration? I wouldn't doubt if there is a Security alert that pops up on specific sites with Yellow or Orange (never below Yellow). Maybe if you're Ddos'd you get an Amber alert.
I have yet to see a major reason to upgrade as of yet. The only, and sad, reason is: "It's the latest OS from MS," which for most sheep is the only reason one needs.
Now granted this doesn't relate to new vinyl that has been recently pressed but a following that will never die:
The UK Northern Soul DJs dig like they're searching for oil for old 7" tracks. There are a couple DJs who come to Pittsburgh to shop at one of our local vinyl warehouses and walk out with $500 worth of 7" tracks that can be sold in the UK at $25-$75 a piece and sometimes those rare gems that can get prices as high as $1000 (it's reported that one track fetched them $5000, but I only heard that from a second hand source, not the DJ who sold it).

I think you've confused Siberia with Serbia
What Captain America's Purpose was during the Infinity Gauntlet / War series?
Seriously, what could he have done against Galactus or Thanos?

Development on the game was going fine until dickless here shut off the power grid.
So, that's why it's so horrible to work with!
Until recently, they've been using the shoddy bomb-casing full of used pinball machine parts the Libyan Nationalists gave them.
It will work! But the 216 digit number you find that's at the base of it will drive you insane.

Same group, slightly different name over the years. Just like Prince.

Yes, if you want to access the new Spike feature of Longhorn.
Sounds like it was titled by a staff writer from 24. I expected to see a little headshot of Chloe on the first page of the article.
Thanks for that! I'm surprised I had not yet come across this.

This explains the recent bill to ban online gambling.
Will they'll be using a pimped up version of GoogleNews?

I think we're all safe, because well, the Pod People can certainly claim prior art in this case.
