  1. Re:Surely he was misquoted? On both? ;-) on Google Maps Creator Takes Browsers To The Limit · · Score: 1

    I think there is a distinction here between two different things. I don't think he means it's a bad thing that browser code can't access your HD, etc. I think he's saying it's a limiting factor in developing web apps, and that's a downside to consider.

  2. Re:Waht about a link to the actual product? on Remembering Netscape and The Birth of the Web · · Score: 1

    Thanks, it does work. It works on a brand new Dell, Windows XP SP2... wow. I have had 3 year old software not work, but this does!

    I would like to read the article you mentioned, but have been advised by my attorney to restrain myself (http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/07/13/0 527236&tid=95&tid=17)

  4. Re:It is a big deal. on Justice O'Connor Retiring · · Score: 1

    To add to my own post, I just realized I implicitly agreed about the vote in "florida" [sic]... I did not mean to give that impression. And I'm getting OT.

    If the vote in florida had been allowed to finish most probably hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's would still be alive as well as 1700+ americans.

    Or, just maybe, a whole lot more Americans would be dead while we attempted to "arrest" Bin Laden.

    Checks and balances, as I understand them, refer to each branch of government (executive, legislative, judicial) have some measure of power over each other, not parties. Understandably, this is the way it works out sometimes.

    On another point, the Republican party is made up of a number of factions. The same is true of the Democrats, the difference being that Republicans are able to put aside differences in order to win elections. As the Republican party gets more control, each faction will increase its demand for implementation of its own agenda (that is, as the perceived need to "just" win elections subsides). This is when Democrats can make a comeback. Although, it's looking more and more like the Democrats cannot resolve their internal strife, and may actually (eventually) split into 2 parties. One of these parties my attract some Republicans.

    I'm not done looking at the one I've got now!

    In Soviet Russia, cassette tapes you!

    The naming of the Comic Book Guy episode was funny, too bad I forgot his name.

    It's Jeff Albertson. Thirty seconds after it was uttered on TV, this site appeared : http://www.jeffalbertson.com/.

  10. Re:Wrong on Google Takes Top Spot From Time Warner · · Score: 1
    TW at least has real assets that can be valued, while Google is primarily a IP (intellectual property) company.
    Correct me if I'm wrong, but the vast majority of TW's worth is their film/music catalogue. Which is um...IP.

    At some level, all technology is Information Technology.

  11. Re:IT'S headed to the UK... on Monty Python's SPAMalot Wins 5, no 3 Tony Awards · · Score: 1

    I do realize that; I guess my post was a little "dry" :)
