If it looks and works the same in both IE and Firefox, the odds are pretty high it's going to work just fine in Opera and Safari too. If that weren't the case, trying to use Opera or Safari (with so many designers designing for and testing on IE only) would be a huge hassle.
"Are you sure you want to boot to application? Yes/No"
"Windows needs your permission to use this program: Windows. If you do not trust the source do not use this program. This program can potentially harm your computer. Allow/Cancel"
There are only two standards that I care about: "How does my page look and work in Internet Explorer?" and "How does my page look/work in Firefox?" Beyond that, I couldn't really give a shit less if the W3C does or doesn't like it. My clients aren't paying me to spend extra time designing perfectly W3C-complaint sites, they are paying me to design a site that reaches real-world customers in as efficient a manner as possible.
When you capitalize on the Trek name, you get a significant guaranteed built-in audience who will definitely buy tickets. That's the upside. But you also invite comparison to previous incarnations and risk complaints from fans who have certain expectations based on those earlier movies/series. That's the downside.
If you don't want to be subject to the criticism of Star Trek fans, that's easy enough to fix. Don't call it Star Trek or set it in the Star Trek universe.
Paramount will beat that horse LONG past the point where it's dead, buried, decomposed, and reduced to dust. My God, when you've lowered yourself to recruiting Scott Bakula as your starship captain, you'll do ANYTHING.
Obama doesn't HAVE to submit to anything to youtube. He already has the youth vote locked up, and plenty of young people to submit stuff FOR him, without even being asked). McCain is the one who is desperate to make himself relevant to the youth vote. That's why he's so concerned about anyone taking down his videos from the one venue where he might actually reach some voters under retirement age.
The idea that the companies owe you nothing and can do whatever they like is ridiculous. When you purchase World of Warcraft at your local store, you are entering into a contract with reasonable expectations out of both the purchaser and the company making the game. If you were to buy WoW for $50, take it home and load it on your computer only to be told "Sorry, we're no going to let you play because we don't like you," then you've just been defrauded out of $50. Blizzard has broken the undestood contract they've made on the box cover of the game you purchased.
So Blizzard can't, in practice, just ban you for whatever reason they feel like. By selling the game they have obligated themselves to deliver on certain reasonable expectations (i.e. that they're not going to just arbitrarily prevent you from playing and realizing the value of your purchase for no good reason).

If horror films have taught me anything, it's that it's always the most quiet right before the zombies suddenly break through the window. I guess what I'm saying is that we need to shoot the sun in the head while we still can.
Not to worry, poor telecommunications giants! Lobbyman is here to protect you! The evil FCC got you down? No problem, Lobbyman will buy off Congress to step in an save your gravy train! Sure Lobbyman is expensive, but then a great hero always is. So let the money flow and let the consumer be screwed!
When we wanted to waste time and not study back in my day, all we had were fraternities and sororities. Kids today with their new-fangled distractions and time-wasters don't know how lucky they have it. They've got hundreds of reasons not to go to class right there at their fingertips. We had to *WORK* at it when we goofed off! We didn't even have pagers or MUD's back then!
Thanks for keeping us posted one the minutia of your life, man. Be sure and post here to let use know about all the other stuff you don't have or aren't able to do. We're dying to know.

And if you choose A, you'll get three pop-ups:
"Are you sure you want to boot to application? Yes/No"
"Windows needs your permission to use this program: Windows. If you do not trust the source do not use this program. This program can potentially harm your computer. Allow/Cancel"
"Confirm boot-up to Windows: Yes/No"

Nonsense. With the power of NPH on his side, he could do anything.
RAPE! RAPE!

I just love the argument that Wall Street is only in trouble because it was somehow *forced* to be greedy. Yeah, that's the only reason.
Keep 'em coming, I need more laughs.
He should hire some lobbyists to get this "DMCA" law repealed. Doesn't he understand how politics works?

And I'm even better than you because I use an Apple computer, don't even own a TV, and only listen to indie music. You should smell my flowery farts!
Only way to be sure.

Why is it that no one every includes Windows 1? I know it wasn't that popular, but it did exist and was released to the public.
Weird how it worked out that way, huh? Maybe AMD was thinking strategically.
I always tell my kids the same thing about politicians. Their words mean nothing. Look to their ACTIONS to learn the real story.
Apple users don't need food. The Koolaid sustains them.

And to think, just a few years ago I swore by AMD CPU's and Nvidia graphics cards. Ah but how the wheel keeps turning.
And ditto for your useless comment to my useless comment to someone else's useless comment.

It hasn't been hacked because no hacker owns one.
