It does. However, when I rollover a section, it give me a right-pointing arrow, telling me that there is a menu of some sort. Uhm, nope, sorry, just wanted to confuse you. When we have an arrow here, it means this, but this one doesn't mean anything at all... Great design. I like the runner-up.
And btw, y'all should read Steve Krug's Don't Make Me Think. It's a great book about usability, and it's what makes me frustrated with a lot of things, like the above.
In a sense, yes. On Wikipedia, I only check IP edits when on RCpatrol. There are some very good editors w/o usernames, but what a few do lowers the karma of many. When it is as easy to dissassociate yourself from a group like that as it is, I naturally assume that there is a reason why you have not.
I do care what is said. However, going back to the original topic...
When an AC says something nonsensical, like "what the f? admins, ban this twat" to a perfectly valid statement, I lose an opportunity. I lose the opportunity to mark him as a foe and bury all of his comments so low I won't ever have to see them again (unless I have mod points, see sig). That is why it was asked why anyone would listen to an AC. That led to an AC asking why anyone uses usernames, which led to my comment. I think I covered everything.
"why would anyone listen to some dude who thinks he is not an anonymous coward because he picks an online psuedonym to post from?"
Perhaps because he isn't an AC? Sure, I use a psuedonym, but I use it all over the internet. How am I supposed to hate you if I don't know who you are. What other AC comments were made by you? I don't know.
Funny how any iMac that isn't latest gen can't seem to run anything very fast at all. Heck, the G5 PowerPC we use for video editing at school can't run iMovie and Safari at the same time (and it's got 1.5 gigs RAM). Notice, however, how my crappy PC can play Half-Life 2, while running other stuff (xfire, google desktop, antivirus, firewall, etc.). I'll give you stats if you want them.
This is so true. User *are* the weakest part of any system, and unless you eliminate 90% of your user base, you will never have a secure system. Enter restricted accounts.
First off, I was using sarcasm when saying I had no bias. It is impossible to be unbiased, and I am not fond of IE in any way. I just wanted to let everyone know that my view is slanted (in case they couldn't figure it out from my post, which you did).
Now, as far as the other quote, it is my personal belief that is MS (microsoft, which is very similar to BS and can be used as a substitute:p 1/2 jk ). Let me clarify:
I do believe that is in the entry, as I read it too. I'm not saying you're making junk up.
I am skeptical towards Microsoft. Most will believe that they mean what they say, but I, in my dislike of them, say that they have an evil scheme in the works to catapult IE to dominance once again, and as part of that, they are pretending to go along with WaSP.
Now, if it is true, and IE7 doesn't screw up everything I've carefully coded with these hands of mine, then I'll be happy. I won't have to make workarounds all the time. But then, on the other hand, I'll lose a chance to bash IE...
Because they don't care about standards. Firefox does not completely pass, but it's almost there. However, take a look at a screenshot from IE7. And what does MS say? "To relieve the tension, we'll just tell you now: we don't give a crap about web standards, so IE7 will have to have code especially designed for it, hopefully leading to the extermination of alternate browsers." (paraphrased and interpreted with no bias at all from here)
A loving one. And remember, we were created to love him, not to do everything he says. (note: loving him is one of the things he says to do) After all, if he's omnipotent, do he need someone to shine his shoes?
Because he gave us a thing called free will. Disobeying him (sinning) is what causes pain and suffering, whether for ourselves or others. If you consider a god who controls us on strings like zombies loving, then I would have to agree with your statement.
I originally bought Guild Wars because of the lack of a monthly fee (I normally buy two $30 games a year;) ). However, I love many of the aspects of the game, including the ability to take on computer-controlled henchmen as teammates. Sure, they're stupid, but sometimes I just need someone to be a meat-shield or give me occasional heals. GW doesn't force me to stand around waiting for someone else to run a 5-min mission with me. And yes, there is so much more to say. But that would be offtopic. And we don't want that on/., do we?
I really like VLC. For the longest time, I used Winamp to play all my media files, but it is painfully slow. iTunes is okay, but still lacking. And WMP is out of the question (I try to run Windows as non-Microsoft as possible). Then, when trying to find something to run.ogm (Ogg Vorbis video files), I came across VLC, and haven't used anything since. And the fact that it's released under GNU doesn't hurt at all.
As well as everything suggested above, run Crap Cleaner. This has cleaned so many gigs of junk from my computer over time, I don't know what I would do without it.

Wrong again. You have it backwards. Retailers will promote the product which will produces the largest margins and greatest amount of revenue. Sometimes this is the cheaper product but in many cases its the more expensive product. The selling price alone is not what drives margins and revenue for a retailer.
But then, wouldn't they buy the cheaper product, and just sell it as if it was the more expensive one?
I'm curious as to what the climateprediction.net models have to say. Do they agree? I mean, that's why I'm giving up computing power, right, so we know these things?
That would be my 2nd year Spanish class. My midget-teacher made me forget what I knew, plus I gained a horrible Oakie accent from making fun of my classmates.

Yeeeeees. But most linux users have a clue.

Ahh, but some also use Windows because they can run everything on it ... without an emulator.

"1. Investing a lot of time in something is worth more than actual skill." Hmm, maybe that's why I play Guild Wars...
Though, y'know that they aren't charging for their anti-spam, so I fail to see why they would want more spammers...
