Acocording to this article, the advert costs only $50,000. We already know that The Mozilla Foundation are getting discounts because of the time window, and also because of their non-profit status.
Google keeps trying to use my HTTP proxy even with the 'phone home' option off. This happens at fairly random intervals, not when I'm doing a web search. Why the hell does it need to use the Internet if it is so 'local'?
Yes, but A List Apart did just the front page. I can think of the preferences, user pages, this post form, the FAQ, topics section, submit story form, hall of fame, user login/logout, and all the other misc. pages around the place. Admittedly I haven't taken a look at the code, so what you say it promising.
By which I mean someone outside of Slashdot, as they don't care enough to do it themselves.
I've heard of 2-3 different projects to turn it into CSS, and I know that Slashdot is "working with" one in particular. You should see some results soon, but remember:
Changing every single page on the site to CSS takes a lot of work
The layout needs to be tested on multiple browsers, which takes a lot of time (and work)
I'm looking forward to it, though. It'll be even easier to change the colour scheme of the IT section with a Firefox userContent.css, and should take a lot less effort to render. Mobile phone and print versions will be easier to produce, too.
You didn't read hard enough! (I don't blame you) $10 is just the minimum amount needed before you get a MasterCard. Take a look at the cash breakdown - if your friend buys a node you get $50, not $10.
Also the card is a debit MasterCard so no credit card bill involved.
I can understand you're exaggerating to be funny, but this just makes the company look worse than it is.
I'll assume you didn't know about the directory index exclusion feature until I asked about it. So chances are your wife doesn't know about it easier.
This, of course, totally ignores the possiblity that Google Desktop Search honours user profiles. You do realise you can shove stuff in your My Documents or Desktop and no other user will be able to access it (except Administrators).
Finally, the great-grandparent a joke of course, so we don't consider the possibility of trust and understanding in a relationship that makes all of this irrelevant.
Does Google Search not have 'don't index these directories' functionality? I'm sure there's a lot of info, not just porn, that you might not want indexed. For example, the WINDOWS/ directory?
Considering it's just Windows XP with a few knobs on, I'm sure Gates could have coded it over a few evenings. One-handedly. Whilst jacking off over pictures of Satan.
Sorry... I actually thought you meant the SNES game, which is what I regard as the best in the series:) Of course it's more commonly referred to as A Link To The Past. Don't know what I was thinking.
Maybe the "gconf" and "orbit" directories aren't hidden, so by default you see them in your home directory. Which is kind of annoying since you'll rarely want to visit them.
Also, 'flaw' is stupidly vague. There's a big difference between 'sometimes the Slashdot page isn't rendered correctly' and 'a JPEG image allows remote code execution'. From a quick look at the article, however, it covers 'vulnerabilities' which is more specific: data loss, remote code execution and crashes.
Still, I agree with the parent - this is an AvP situation. Whoever 'wins' with the least problems, we still lose.
According to print.google.com, the results appear in regular Google search results. However, I fed through the first sentence of Alice In Wonderland (the sample book used on their site) and got nothing.
I did, however, see numerous 'product search results' above regular results for a different query... I thought that was a no-no? I certainly heard a lot of people slam A9 for doing that.
You should be thankful they used an open-source browser friendly technique. They could have just as easily wrapped the images in ActiveX or maybe Java in such a way that the data is never cached in an accessible form. The only way to get the image would then be screen-capture (made even harder if they used the graphics card buffer, but maybe that's overkill)
Do you want Google to drop this technique and go for something more proprietary that won't work at all?
You can create an XAML form by dragging and dropping widgets in VS.NET? And code the backend of your application with any.NET language? That it will work in Internet Explorer without additional software (according to the demo), which has a vastly larger user base compared to Mozilla?
Google entirely runs on Linux clusters, and all of the employee personal computers are also on Linux.
This is not only a proven example of Linux working, but also a good sign: new companies can adopt Linux, and the ones running archaic, hard to change software will gradually become less important.

"Personally, I'd recommend beta-testing IE 6, since IE not only has won the browser wars, it's clearly a better browser - and will remain so."
How far we have come.

And the makeover is extremely impressive

I'm fairly sure both versions use OpenGL for graphics, but Doom may use DirectX for audio/input/networking. Much of it is iD's own work however.

Especially as most printers are networked and therefore easily handled by CUPS or some similar tool.

You played the series backwards?
Sounds like vaporware to me!
Why?

Because it's slooooow.
Also occasionally the real background (some gray colour) is displayed, usually on repaint.
The bid featured in the article started at $0.01.
