    Yep. I'm sure the next morning at work would have been just great for her. How would you feel?
    That's a good point. With a reputation like that, I'd imagine others would either:
    1. give her the stare
    2. ridicule her
    3. otherwise think lowly of her
    4. all of the above
    Wouldn't be hard to imagine resigning from all that pressure.
  2. Re:What about anime done American? on The Business of Anime · · Score: 1
    AFAIK, most Americans don't like the typical anime style. It's an odd mixture of highly stylized faces atop realistic bodies in realistic environments.

    The number one criticism of the anime style is obviously the eyes: sure, everyone loves bigger-than-usual eyes - that's just plain cute - but not fkn huge alien eyes!

  3. Re:Great news for Firefox! on Windows Longhorn and Internet Explorer 7 · · Score: 1
    No offense, but as nice as Firefox is, its rendering engine still blows copared to IE, which is one of IE's strengths.
    No offense, but IE doesn't even render standard sites properly. How the heck is that a good rendering engine?

    Do you realize how many hacks it takes just to get an advanced site design to work in IE?

    Can't forget the games!

    Oh yeah, that's the stuff.

  5. Huh? on Neverwinter Walks The Plank · · Score: 1

    How...no, why is this news-worthy? Don't get me wrong - I used to be a diehard NWN fan But this seems more like a NWN advertisement than a news article. I don't see anything special in this module (other than the pirating puns).

    OMG it has its own built-in browser??! AWESOME!!!

    Although this is probably premature, the target attribute still remains and isn't deprecated in a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-xhtml2-20050527 /mod-hyperAttributes.html" the latest XHTML 2.0 working draft. And it's in the hypertext module, which also defines the href attribute, so it can hardly be called "transitional".

    JavaScript already has two open-source engines from Mozilla that can be embedded in server-side solutions:

    SpiderMonkey (C++) and Rhino (Java)

    Haha awesome game :p

  11. Re:How about firefox? on Plugging Internet Explorer's Leaks · · Score: 1
    That's probably caused by this bug.

    Fixed in Firefox 1.1 according to this.

  12. Re:No chance you this kind of system will succeed. on Coming Soon, Roadcasting · · Score: 1
    Am I the only one to see a problem here? Why should I potentially buy such an audio sharing system if no one else has one? The classic chicken and egg problem!
    Simple, just do what good o' MS does. Bundle it with the car.
  13. Re:Wow.... on The MMOGs of Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I have an interest in Vanguard and I post occasionally on their forums (as the typical geek is bound to do), but I agree. This is kind of ridiculous, funny at the very least. Just look at all the fanbois that happened to register with /. just to post a response. Here's the thread where all the fanbois spawned from.

    Heck, I wonder how this article even got posted, or why it was picked out of the list of 20. I don't think most slashdotters care about some game that's not even in beta. That's just plain stupid and can just lead to (bad) publicity for the game. Maybe because Vanguard is gonna be published by Microsoft? Meh...

    FYI, although I'm a recent member to /., I didn't join to post here, but to post on a recent article concerning web standards. I may be a goddamn hypocrite, but that doesn't apply here.

    The documentation for those methods specifically mention that they aren't part of the ECMA standard.
