  1. Re:Sophistry at its finest... on Viewing Files on the Web Considered Possession? · · Score: 1

    An <img> tag's width and height scale the image, not resize it. You'd cache the full sized image; but you'd see it shrunk to 1px on the actual page (Or, if you really want to hide it; just do a:

    img.pr0n { display:none; }

    in a stylesheet.) Someone could load an infinate amount of porn in the background, without you seeing anything but a longer-than-normal loadtime.

    I do not believe this man was innocent (it seems unlikely that he accumulated that much child porn without actually looking for it), but it is certainly possible.

  2. Merely Service Pack 3? on New MS Shell Will Not Be In Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Why does it appear that every feature in Longhorn is being removed? New file system was removed a while ago, the new version of IE (assumidly bundled) doesn't even match the features of a stock download of FireFox, and now the new shell will be removed? What is new in Longhorn? Will it just be another GUI upgrade? I don't understand how Microsoft can (mis)use their resources to this extent while remaining competative. It seems like Longhorn is a sinking ship, and their throwing as much overboard as they can to keep it afloat. It already seems to be an expensive Service Pack, and I'm sure they'll throw more features overboard before it's release.
