It's what you
should get, because that's what the designer specified.
I strongly disagree with this statement. The user should always have the final say. A stylesheet (or FONT tag, $deity forbid) is just a suggestion as to how the page is to be rendered. Accessibility is more important than aesthetics.
Ensure that the user can select preferred styles (e.g., colors, size of rendered text, and synthesized speech characteristics) from choices offered by the user agent. Allow the user to override author-specified styles and user agent default styles.
I don't understand why Microsoft is still allowed to sell the WMP-bundled Windows version.
Abusing your monopoly in one area to gain a monopoly in other areas is illegal, right? If a company that sells bread has all the market share, they should not be allowed to include a pack of butter with each loaf of bread at no extra price. That would allow them to put other butter makers out of business without needing to compete on product quality. Afterwards they could jack up the price again, of course.
But EU just seems to say "bad Microsoft, as punishment for breaking the law you have to make sure customers can get your bread *without* butter if they want to". Which is pointless since they are allowed to charge the same for both versions.
The only thing that would make sense would be to allow Microsoft to sell *only* the non-bundled version. But that's probably too late now anyway, since Microsoft already got their free media player market share.
Actually, no, it's not a bug, it's a feature (I've seen sites hide anchor URLs this way, which is quite annoying, so I can understand why they did this; could be used for "phishing scams").
Try Edit -> Preferences -> Web Features, and click "Advanced..." next to "Enable Javascript". There's an option to allow scripts to "Change status bar text", which is disabled by default. Your script should work (I've tested it).
So, no, not a bug, and certainly not a "nasty" one (reading that, I was expecting something closer to browser crash or security-related problems...)
Hope this clears up things...
UGO page broken in Firefox - alternate URL here

In case anyone else is having problems viewing the second link with Firefox or Opera (I got a "URI Too Long" error message), use this link instead:
The problem seems to be broken HTML code. From what I can see (though I didn't look very closely at the code), there's a (transparent) DIV element which covers most of the page. This DIV is blocking mouse access to the links below it.
(You can access the links with the keyboard, though, e.g. type "50", Tab, Enter using "Find as you type" on Firefox.)
Sorry, part of the last URL fell out (from now on, I'll check the links in the preview...)
Here's the right one: Complex Spiral demo. Check out the distorted version too...
According to their website, Maxthon is based on the IE engine, which leads me to believe that its rendering is equally broken (I'm especially thinking about the CSS box model, although there are other problems too).
Not that users will notice, since web designers are forced to support the most common browser out there anyway. But having seen demos such as Eric Meyer's Complex Spiral, I wonder about how many interesting designs we're missing out on because of this limitation...
Anyway, I use Firefox for many reasons, but yeah, speed is not one of them (I don't notice much of a difference in either direction, actually).
First of all, nPr = n!/(n-r)!, but I guess that was just a typo, since you got the result right.
Second, you are using the wrong formula. A letter can be used more than once in the same word. Each of the four letters then have 26 possible values, which yields 26*26*26*26 = 26^4, not 26*25*24*23 = 26P4.

IANAL, but a quick search seems to indicate[1] that the penalty for theft is the same as in your quote: fines and up to three years in prison.
