I belong to some yahoo groups, and I think that in most cases the leaders won't move them. I could set up my own rivals (where... are Google any better) but the chances are that I would end up talking to myself.
What worries me is that they may rewrite them all using silverlight, OOXML attachments and so on so that to get the "full browsing experience" you need Internet Explorer and Windows. Perhaps Google are better after all.
Absolutely. Very few sports fans would want everyone to support their team, half the fun is ribbing the opposition supporters after a victory. No sports fan would want there only to be one team, so that it would win the league year after year without opposition.
Compare this to the FSF and many religious fundamentalists, they don't want to say "my idea/religion is better than yours", they wnat to say "nobody should entertain any ideas other than mine".
Why do so many people seem to have to phone someone just to shout "Hi. I'm on the train...yes the train....now Its leaving the station.... bye".
And then on the intercity trips there is always someone next to you that obviously uses his phone for business but has that really loud ringtone of Abba singing "Waterloo". He always puts his phone back in his pocket after each call and then takes 20 seconds to get it out again when he's called two minutes later.
Because the "compliant" mode needs non-standard tags it is by definition non-compliant. The only way to do it is to have the "non-standard" tags to indicate non-compliant mode. True this would mean that the idiots who followed the browser rather than standards would have to add another tag, but that is a small price for compliance.
Next step - "non standard tag fast-tracked for W3C compliance"?
One of the possibilities that this opens is that there is life that has been evolving separately from the rest of terrestrial life for millions of years. In theory life could live off the volcanic chemicals just as it does at undersea vents. This could be the really interesting part of the discovery.
The same at the company I work for. We have a "policy set" screensaver that says "Save energy, Switch off your PC when not in use". We also had an education program, the key point of which was that cost reduction is linked to our bonus scheme and switching off PCs is an easy win reduction. The result is most PCs are switched off. If you are running an overnight batch job you need to stick a "please leave switched on" sticker on your PC to stop someone else from powering it down. Before these initiatives about a third of all PCs were left on every night!
In the UK libraries are not as bad as I thought. I hadn't been in one for 20 years until my daughter needed a book for a project. To my surprise there was web-browsing, kids activities, multimedia, t.v rooms and no dragon-like lady going shhhhhhhhhh!
A quick look at amazon.com/.co.uk shows that UK prices are a little overhalf as much again.
The Simpsons Movie [2007] $15.99/£11.98
The Bourne Ultimatum [2007] $14.99/£11.98
Rocky Horror picture show [1975] $9.99/£6.97
Agreed. In vi you have to learn a lot to use it but its powerful
Notepad is straightforward but limited
JEdit is easy to use if you only need to do simple things, but the power is available for those who need it.
Very good point. In the UK we are 30 miles from France, but I know nothing about their departments, post codes, etc. And I know one US ZIP code despite from living a couple of thousand miles away!
If this is NOT reasonable use we are on a very slippery slope. Take a picture in front of your house, and an architect may have the rights. Take a picture in a park and the landscape gardeners may own the rights. We are headed for exactly what the copyright holders want, the same situation for artwork that exists in software patents. Almost any picture of photo will infringe a copyright, so artists have to work for companies that have bilateral agreements. Everything becomes corporate and there is no room for an individual to create or express anything.
I have been looking for references on the web and it looks as though extraction is an ongoing process, not just "taking the gas from the top". I have not found a definitive reference yet though. Have you any links?

Give him the number to the US embassy. If he has really been robbed and lost his passport they'll help him out.
A first-class law degree?
Does walking and chewing gum count????

Well, unless you are a creationist see Mystery of Antarctica's 15-Million Year-Old Lake.
Even a 1M rise is not good news for Denmark see map, or many places in the USA like New orleans or even Sacramento.

Ha HA - I wish I has "mod funny" points!

Hmm... my multi-region DRM-free DVD-RAM recorder has none of those problems, and you can watch and record at the same time (timeslip)

This in effect means that you cannot set up a secondary DNS server in North Dakota. Any ISPs in the state should probably relocate!
You must work for the automotive industry. I was fool enough to buy a black car with black vinyl seats.........
There was a time I'd have said exactly that about DEC and Dell.

The above comment was addressed to the parent's parent!
If I hadn't read a book I wouldn't comment on it. Cut and paste reviews are so obvious.
The check on metabolism could be useful. Someone could die in this office and nobody would notice for a week.
