If they close their chat rooms to kids, the kids will find chat rooms elsewhere that are not closed. I believe a year or two ago Microsoft made a similar move (although not the same) by putting restrictions on chat rooms. The unclosed chatrooms that kids will end up migrating to may be a worse option than staying at Yahoo. I don't know the answers to these things because it's not black and white, however I would assume Yahoo is more concerned about the legalities (and protecting themselves) than the children. I could be wrong, but given the way business acts I don't think I am. I would do the same if I were a large business too.
The free version of the Real player is now prominently displayed on the Real home page. The free link used to be hard to find, kind of hidden on an inner page as you were downloading the player. Yep, Real is definitely really hurting.
I know they spent a lot of time on thinking up these icons, but I still would prefer to see the print document icon with an arrow going into it (intead of out of it as depicted by the icon). Conceptually I think of it as the document going to the printer, not the paper coming out of the printer. Does anybody really care though? I'm nit-picking.
Shit! Must be a psychological block (actually copy & paste) I mean "Buy". "Buy", "BUY", NOT "guy". All karma gone in one foul swoop. Go ahead... laugh dammit. Gotta' stop drinking alcohol while posting.. or start drinking more and not caring.
Meant to say: "Won't guy a magazine..." instead of "guy a"... yes, indeed I'm more prone to girly mags... those can contain as many adverts as they want IMHO!
Popup blockers *can* cause problems while using a site, however if you learn how to tweak it properly, it's worth its weight in gold. Personally I use firefox/adblock (built in?). Won't guy a magazine if it is chock full of large adverts and contains relatively little information.
If you look at the large incompatibilities between Visual Basic and VB.NET you'll see that.NET is not really that language independent and that each language is really more of a "skined" version of C#
The problem is VB.NET is not very compatible with VB, which doesn't necessarily prove anything about.NET itself. Both VB.NET and C# represent object-oriented programming built on the.NET concepts. If VB.NET looks like a skinned version of C# then it's the other way around too -- both sit atop the.NET frameword to acheive that perception. Any new languages introduced to the.NET framework will also look like ".NET" but not specfically c#.
I wondered how the intricate points would work.... destroy-as-you-go and not be able to back up but only to go ahead, worked on existing players. Sounded too exceptional. It was fun while it lasted.
Glad I didnt' post to that one... would have looked like a big dummy right now!
They must be testing stuff out. Right now I keep getting pushed to the beta site after having visited only once, even after closing/re-opening my web browser (Mozilla or IE). However I can clear my browser cookies and then gain access to the "old" version again. I think it's a mildy smart technique on CNet's behalf, kind of like Google didn't bring everybody over to Gmail all at once but kept the base coming overly slowly.
... and did anybody notice after you visit the beta version of site, you are automatically pushed back to it whenever you try to go to the regular news.com? (try it with these links -- weird) Looks like some cookie magic. Looks like they want their readership to fall over to the new site. Considering this is/. it's more like a mass exodus to the beta version.
I want an integrated ability to accept some sort of search term to "prune down" the resulting ontology tree. The thing's fun to clikc on but sometimes I also need more focused results that it can provide -- I feel like I'm in a boat floating around the ocean. Of course a plain text box might suffice for my need too. I hope they find the problem for their solution over time.
I'm not sure the grandparent post represents an aetheist comment, although I can see how it could seem that way. Even from one Christian to another, it would not be uncommon to give advice to actually do something useful with God-given talents and a desire to go there. Anyways, just a thought. If that group is putting actions to words then there's no big problem. Some may listen, some may not, but either way the people will appreciate the action of tangible help. If I were in need and Muslims wanted to discuss faith while tanibly helping me, I would not mind... though some people are easily "offended" -- amazing how fragile some are when religion comes into play. Just throwing out some thoughts.
then next time it comes around it might have just been pushed off course enough by our test runs to make a direct hit.
Awesome. Think I'll leave a "told you so" in my video where I give my estate to future generations.

(3. They use the code themselves and have a ethic working to make the best code they can for themselves, knowing it wont be used as a tool to extort money from people.)
From a desktop user perspective I've used both Linux and Windows and let me say that the Windows price tag is definitely worth it. I will pay for something more usable on a daily basis. In other words, Microsoft can "extort" me all they want because they deserve it.
Have you noticed that everything over the last few years has been an opportunity to get Linux on the desktop, but that has not happened? I don't have to ready any article or postings to know the end result of this one. It's a short historic circle we're still stuck in.

Surely the project server has tangoed with death! I cannot access it.

Good for them. I would do the same. You would do the same.

I'd hate to be standing on the battlefield having a calm smoke and accidentally drop my plank.
they must be using rooms full of trained squirrels.

To get an actual working version of this thing, you have to go to the beta news site and then click on any of the story headlines.

cowbody spaghetti code culture ... and what term would you use for open source software?
Larry Wall ... is that you?
