The point is that the publisher only gets to suggest the font/layout/whatever, while the user has the final say. Most users will see what the publisher intended, while those who wishes to customize their browser can do so. A girl I know from a long time ago is blind, and the internet came as a blessing for her, though the web was a bit hard to use. It is getting better and better in terms of usability for the disabled though, but some people want to take that away becase it's not "pwetty enough". Keep the web open and fight for standards!
Except that Opera is a Norwegian company, and we don't have the same wild conditions regarding software patents over here. Eolas may be able to sue their american office, but I'm not sure if any developing is done over there, so I'm not sure that's possible. It may though, american law seems a bit skewed in favor of that big strong kid dominating the sandbox:-\
Easy, we just assign a specific port number for alien attacks. Or we might assign a special "alien" bit to be set in packets. Alien signals should have the alien bit set to 1 so that one could easily filter out alien attacks...:-P
I know where you're going, but on a serious note I'd call it pSy or p_sy, or rather something like pSystem or p_system or other descriptive name. I don't see any point in using hungarian notation to indicate the variable type.
For PHP scripting, I use HN to indicate wether a variable is 'safe' or 'unsafe' for a database query using an 's' and 'us' prefix. I have standardized on a set of very few notations I use throughout the code and I don't see anything wrong with that. The problem is when people use it without knowing why, or out of old habit.
Most of the scepticism I've met against Wikipedia when showing it to others has been the concern of quality of the material. The cost of having a free+gratis encyclopedia is that one has to be more critical than usual. Content can be edited at any time and controversial issues are likely to be biased. The cost is having to check the logs to find if material has been altered by trolls.
More importantly, for me, the WikiMedia software serves as a great knowledge base for the (very small) company I work for. I installed it to an intranet server and we all use it for documenting certain aspects of the company, from internal routines to which ink cardtriges the printers need.
If only it were that simple. Sure, for recent movies it's as easy as going to your local store and purchase it, but more often than not, when I'm searching for a specific movie, it is nowhere to be found. My only choice then is downloading it from the intarweb.
Like just now. I was watching a documentary on the universe and some clips from a movie were shown. I searched google for the quote "In, through and beyond!", and found that the movie in question was "The black hole". Now, its past midnight where I am, I have the day off tomorrow and would like to watch this movie tomorrow morning. Now, I sincerely doubt that my local video store, that don't even carry 10 year old movies, will carry one from 1979. I won't even bother checking, I'm so confident they don't carry it. The commercial supply just doesn't meet the demand.
My previous experience with online shops is they suck and/or they don't carry anything else than the most popular FOTM movies. I guess the good ones are available only in the US. There is one alternative solution though. Yep, the P2P networks. The fact that it is free is a neglible point, I'd gladly pay 5-10$ a movie if it were easier to find and download, and I could fully utilize my bandwidth - maybe even stream it.
Your post and points about patriotism reminds me about the TV series Babylon 5. It was almost identical to what Cpt. Sheridan said in one of the finishing episodes.
1. The PDA versions share the/exact/ same codebase as the desktop version. 2. He could be paying for premium support. 3. Because if they don't, he might use the feature anyway. With that attitude, sooner or later their browser would lag behind, as MicroSoft did. 4. Every user is an indirect customer since every member of their user base adds to the total value of their company. By using Opera their percentages increase, forcing developers to take their browser into consideration.

Hm, it would be funny to see how cars will react when a driver using the power glove scratches his head while driving.

Don't forget that because of the speed of todays writers, you have to multiply by at least 32!

"Shaman networks were still working on installing the filters yesterday."
No wonder. Taurens are slow typers due to their hooves and Orcs aren't exactly the most intelligent creatures around...
"Results 1 - 10 of about 3,460,000 for revolutionizing technology."
Hm, this is going to be harder than I thought...

The phrase "revolutionizing technology" returns 1.6 million results on Google... :-P

As if the seats weren't small enough...
Heh heh...
It's funny, because it's true.
As a norwegien citizen dependant on the high price of oil for my college education, I greedily welcome this "peak oil".
Seriously though, we're in deep shit on the long term.
A hundred and seventyfive dollars?!? The greedy BASTARDS!!
Huh? Millions? Oh, never mind then.
In any case, MP3Tunes.com was started by the same guy that founded the original mp3.com, who is also the owner of Linpro.
Except those that mutate into atomic superflies! With 10 feet long antennaes that drink blood and shoot lasers!
