Why not use conditional comments, and include an IE specific stylesheet that overrides some settings in your default stylesheet?
Conditional comments are ignored by all other browsers because, well, they look exactly like an HTML comment! Only IE parses them, so why not use functionality that only IE supports to provide your styles for IE. It makes sense and avoids horrible looking hacks in your stylesheets.
This doesn't represent anything! There are no implications.
The grandparent was right, it's just a stupid script trick. This stuff has been possible for many years now, it's not new. It's not innovative. Just because Google does something, all the Google fanboys run around shouting "it's profound!" from the rooftops. Many other groups have done similar and even more fancy things with html and scripting, which has demonstrated many many times over that this stuff is possible. It doesn't require Google to make that 'implication'.
For crying out loud. When you combine a turing complete language (javascript) with a nice graphical toolkit (html/css), of course stuff like this is possible. Stuff like this and more! I don't understand why all these so called 'web developers' are constantly amazed when they see these little tricks!
Every time Half-Life 2 has a story, whiners like you pipe up and complain about Steam. Okay, so it took a long time to download at sub-optimal speeds. Perhaps it would have been a good idea to PRELOAD it then? Instead of waiting until after release when the servers are bound to be loaded with thousands of new players?
Oh, I'm sorry, I guess you couldn't preload it as you were on your high horse at the time and not installing steam. What ever happened to you passing on this game due to privacy concerns?
Once installed, you don't need an internet connection to play. So it doesn't need to connect to anywhere. Hey, it might actually connect if you have an internet connection available (I haven't verified this myself, mainly because I don't care). However you can always go into offline mode and play to your hearts content, without contacting valve/steam anymore.
Though I guess if they ever want to compete with 'real' digital cameras and allow previewing the photo (which is personally the biggest reason I have one), they seem like they are kind of shit out of luck,since at that point decryption on the camera would have to be possible.
Just store an unencrypted thumbnail along with the actual (encrypted) photo...
2: It was created specifically for voice transfers, along with "telephone emulation" (just the way you interface with the tele). I believe that many, if not all, webphones use this IP protocol. I also think that GSM and US telephones(that use IP networks) use this protocol to transfer voice data.
The winner of the challenge noted in his writeup that 'Protocol 11 is reserved
for the Network Voice Protocol (NVP-II, rfc741 for the curious). NVP-II is
an old protocol, generally not considered to be in use today.'
Some were asking how this could flood your system.... Well, what's the difference TCP and UDP? Or how about ping floods??? Well, it's all data being sent to you. Doesnt matter what 8 bit field is switched... It's still garbage data (if you didnt request it). It fills up your receving connection.
The binary doesn't use protocol 11 for it's DOS attacks, it uses three known attacks - a SYN flood, a 'jolt' attack (microsoft specific) and a DNS request flood. Protocol 11 was only used for communication between the handler and the agent. Try reading the winner's excellent writeup for more information.
This is a particularly annoying tactic that some popup ads use, where you create a new full screen window (only works in IE) then resize it and move it. The result is a window that has no border at all, and the malicious ad can then display a 'windows like' dialog image that can easily fool your average windows user into clicking.
If it had a PCMCIA slot, I would have paid the $1000 for it. But without it, no way. I'm not spending a grand to have to lug a unit into some cradle to transfer files.
You don't need to lug the unit into a cradle, it supports ethernet right out the back of the unit
Of course, there's also the usual insinuation of "Windows crashes every five minutes." that is untrue (especially compared to doing heavyweight work in Netscape or Mozilla in Linux) but you can't really hold that against him.;-)
Windows crashes every five minutes == hyperbole.
But it isn't far from the truth. I have to use windows (95) every day at work and it crashes without fail at least once per day. At my previous work I was able to install Slackware on my box and I had an uptime of >200 days (until a powercut).
You mention Netscape and Mozilla on Linux and are comparing it to Windows crashing. There is a difference here. If Netscape goes down on Linux, you can just restart it. If IE goes down on Windows - 75% of the time I have to restart Windows!

Horrible.

Knights of the Old Republic can also be successfully played with just a mouse.
Waah waah waah.

If it is so similar, surely it should be trivial to write a quick XSLT script to transform from one to the other?
It can't be that similar, otherwise people wouldn't be complaining as loudly as they are...
What about all the other supercomputers in the world? Why are you so concerned about this particular site?

OMG, have you seen their website? They're trade marking phrases from the matrix...
