W3C is perfectly stable, its taking issue with your non-quoted href attributes. Look at error # 12: "an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters."
As a general rule, quote all attributes, much more future-proof (XHTML requires all attributes be quoted), and much easier on the eyes when using a syntax-highlighting editor. FYI, I downloaded a snippet of your HTML, quoted the attributes, ran it back through the validator, and it validates (save for the lack of a doctype).
Typing g automatically runs an IFL search, typing google runs a proper google search.
You can create your own ones of these. Create a bookmark, edit it and choose a keyword. Edit the url of the bookmark and add %s where you want your search term to appear i.e. Keyword google.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%s
Now, by typing google slashdot opera into my address bar, I search google for "slashdot opera". An example of a custom keyword search is the one I use for searching the PHP manual. I have the bookmark set as http://www.php.net/%s and the keyword as f. By typing f mysql_connect Firefox opens the manual page for mysql_connect on the php website.
For your image search, you'd want something like http://images.google.com/images?q=%s, and set the bookmark keyword to i. Then type i britney spears and thus, it will load.
Not sure how they do it, but in the last week, the credit has gone from 1 euro to 5.
One of my coworkers sent an email round last Tuesday (30th) with a Voipbuster link and the fact you only had to load 1 euro credit on it (on this page). Now, the credit's up to 5 euros. Is this to reward early adopters or is it a sign of things to come? I agree, its very cool, but sustainable?
While writing this reply, I've made my way to this page which still quotes the 1 euro charge, how very odd...
He's the only person to decide if its fair or not - he's the consumer.
This is the main problem, too many customers of iTunes and regular music shops don't see DRM and rip-off pricing as factors, so they happily buy their £17 Britney Spears album and toddle off home. The only way anything will ever change is a mass revolt on the part of consumers. This is what happened in file-sharing and, instead of using market forces and conventional supply and demand to redress the balance, the RIAA went to the courts.
The only person who can decide value is the consumer, it is an entirely subjective measure. Therefore, the only person to decide whether a store's return policy or music's method of consumption is "fair" is the consumer. If they don't percieve it to be fair, they withdraw their custom. It is because the majority of consumers apathetically accept DRM restrictions and record company pricing that it has continued for so long.
If there were a mass revolt against iTunes' DRM, the situation would change or the record companies would lose their customers. Not even the record industry can survive without customers.
Welcome to the new age. Information is now far more profitable than any tangible good. It surprises me that people on a technology website are so unaware or unwilling to realise this, despite the fact it is technology and the internet that's increasing the pace and efficiency of this new market.
You are not valuable, your information is, but not on its own, nobody is sufficiently important to warrant any company to change its habits based on one customer. Once information is collated and processed, it becomes immensely powerful and profitable, that is what these companies seek.
Your cookie contents are data, the collation, manipulation and processing of said data becomes information, to be used and/or sold to improve the experience of the customer and the profits of the company.
But the "average Joe" wouldn't walk in and steal your stuff.
Keeping an honest person honest is like keeping a tall person tall. The DRM may as well not be on there in the first place. The "honest" folk will do with their content what they would anyway, just as the DRM would allow them to (i.e. not distribute it on a large scale) , and the determined users will crack the DRM and do whatever they want with the content.
This stuff is so basic, why invest time and money in an inherently flawed system when they could *gasp* be pushing the frontiers of technology and inventing some truly useful stuff for us users.
I think you've missed the point. The point is that these deaths were not expected, nor did they occur under circumstances that are easily reconcilable.
The horror of the attack on London is that there are people, living among us, who are capable of committing indiscriminate murder. The unmitigated, extreme intervention into what you term the "cycle of all living things" is what makes these deaths so horrific. Nowhere in any cycle of life does "blown up" feature. Someone is to blame for these murders, and the fact that these events were so sudden and unexpected makes it much harder to deal with.
Have some common decency, not even 12 hours have passed.
London and londoners are well-accustomed to the threat of terrorism, people who live here refuse to let it invade or dictate their lives, hence why every bus I saw on the way home was packed and why a bus driver interviewed on the radio will be back in his seat tomorrow morning.
Ken Livingstone, the Mayor or London, released an excellent statement this morning which, in my opinion, well articulated the feeling in Britain and in London. Londoners have never lived in fear of terrorism, if they did, nobody would ever use the tube. This will do nothing, if the tube were open tomorrow morning, I'd take it to work and I know hundreds who would do the same.
I don't know, but I could imagine a scenario wherein NetFlix provides what amounts to a fulfillment service to Wal-Mart under the Wal-Mart name and maintains its own NetFlix branded rental service.
This is exactly what happens in the UK. One large company (Video Island) run white-label DVD rental services for Tesco and MSN, while maintaining a direct-to-consumer brand, ScreenSelect.
I would've shared your cynicism had I not just logged onto the BBC news website and seen their Latest News ticker show the words "The makers of Firefox say the two flaws in the open source browser have been fixed.", linking to this story of theirs, posted at 17:01BST, 16:01GMT.
That's not the point. The point is a power station is vastly more efficient at producing as much energy as possible from its fuel than a car engine is. In the short term, its more efficient to use electricity to power the car than a combustion engine. In the long term, hopefully, renewable energy will take over.
I agree, this is great, however, with two USB slots and no PS2 ports, a USB hub at least will be required, especially if existing USB peripherals are needed. That said, this is a good move for Apple, right market, right price, should reap rewards. The noise reduction is also rather spiffy, add that to the fact that this box certainly wouldn't be aesthetically at odds in a lounge, Mac OS X Media Edition anyone?
I don't really care if it plays music or not, my current mobile plays music, I just use my iPod as well. What i'm looking forward to is a mobile designed by Apple (fingers crossed) in a powered-by-Motorola way. Much as I love my long line of Nokias, a mobile from Apple would make me sit up and take notice.
The problem is that he wanted to look into the camera while reading his lines. Precisely the setting the teleprompter was designed for. Ergo, he made a teleprompter, as cue cards wouldn't do what he needed them to.
Jeez, with this many cynics and naysayers around, its amazing anything gets made these days, "why think outside the box, just do a crappy substitute and make do".
I fail to see why a programmer who spends 40 hours writing a piece of software should be any less protected than a carpenter who spends 40 hours making a dining table or an artist who spends 40 hours creating a painting. Just because two are physical and the other happens to be easily distributed doesn't make it any less of a product. Nor should it be exempt from laws that would protect the painting and the table from being copied by others.
Try Tools -> Account Settings -> (account) -> Server Settings and tick "Check for New Messages at startup" (this is on Win32 btw, don't know if different platforms have different menu structures/options).
IMHO, the only thing preventing widespread TB adoption is the inability to export back to whatever you've migrated from. No company is ever going to change its email app without a backout avenue.
The site in question is http://xpire.info/fa/?d=get. He doesn't say quite how he came upon this site, but it does install rather a lot of spyware on his machine. Rather worrying, considering all is needed is a redirect to that link and any normal user would just think their pc's running a bit slow as 16 spyware apps are installed. Worrying.
Are you sure you know compliant HTML? XHTML standards REQUIRE that all attributes be quoted.

XP2 Spotted In The Wild

That's because you got the network admin version, which has every little bit for every possible system so that admins can customise it for the systems running on their networks. The version designed for single computers is between 50 and 80MB according to how well patched your pc is to start off with. You're right that they're, effectively, rolling out XPv2, but your reasoning's off.
But it balances out. The computer scientists may not use much of the library, but the chemistry students use the computer labs much less than the CS geeks but use the library much more. By offsetting the cost among everyone, it works out cheaper and everyone gets access to better resources.

SP2 isn't available through Windows Update, only through Automatic Update. There is a difference. Automatic Update runs in the background, checking your patch status against MS and downloading as required, its set up from Control Panel > Automatic Updates. Windows Update is the on-demand website visit. SP2 won't be available through Windows Update until the 25th August.
