What's the real difference between the versions? I mean, M$ doesn't really change too much between versions, nor does any software for that matter. If the guy has XP, why pay $200+ for 2003 or whatever, when the only real improvements are in the GUI's looks!
Maybe when XP starts using truely open document format specifications, then I might support them....
To define a comic, as I believe the article is suggesting, as a sequence of drawings, constrained by length/other matters, is the same thing as saying a poem is only a poem if it is iambic pentameter.
Really, I think Mrs. Boxor (writer) has her head on backwards if she's trying to define a comic and say that web comics arn't so much comics, and I hope somebody slaps sense into her, if at all possible.
Fitting a full Windows install might be a pain, with all that extra shit windows likes to have...oh, but we can't forget WGA, product activation, and everything else windows wants!!!
They already said that they wern't going to have IE7 pass the Acid2 test, so why should this be any different?
The way I see it is that M$ is trying to create their own standards. And if anyone tells me that they are participating in any standards commitiees, then why arn't they following the standards? Their the reason web development costs so much. One page will look nice on Opera, Firefox, Safari, Mozilla, and Netscape, and then will look horrid on IE.
I applaud you soo much. Too many tards believe that certain parties did certain acts in a specific frame of time, when it was actually done by party B at a completely different time frame.
What's even more scary is how many people will believe what they read. I can write down that it's God's will for them to go kill themselves, and some 'tard out there is stupid enough to believe it and will actually do it!
Actually, it seems he was going through a university line (privately owned). If he signed some contract that stated that, in exchange for using their internet service, release all his rights to privacy, then he has allowed them, disreguarding the irrevelent fact that he may or may not know what he gave up, to look at all of his network traffic that was sent over the privately owned lines. I suspect that such was the case.

Wow. I never knew their terms on `free' software were that tight-arsed.

Time to start searching for some good SHA-512/-1024(?) applications...
You missed the 'o' in 'of' ;P

Ugh. I fear the fate of this world.
