If they start adding shit to support old browsers that don't understand CSS then you end up mixing presentation and content which is exactly what they're worried about.
What they need to do is firstly draw a line in the sand. If it doesn't support CSS then it will look boring (or crap if the browser doesn't properly ignore the CSS). Catering for every release of every browser is why new standards take sooo long to become popular. Secondly define a set of styles that are then applied to the bits of the document (like they have).
It's a non-event only if you realize how close they were to core meltdown...
The biggest differenc between Chernobyl and Three Mile Island appears to be a combination of luck, lack of a dangerous test and reactor design. Timelines for both incidents:
Three Mile Island, it took seven and a half hours to apply the correct remidy for the problem (for over five of which the reactor core was exposed). At nine hours there was an explosion in the reactor core. After 15 hours the core was covered in coolent again.
Compare with Chernobyl. After an hour and 23 minutes of getting the reactor in a dangerously unstable state, a minute and a half later into the test the roof of the reactor had blown off, the core was a molten lump and the building was on fire.
I find the problem with GNOME is they hide all the useful options. If you want to do exactly what they think is "user friendly" then you're set. If not then it's only marginally less frustrating than windows.
But not in the World According to Microsoft where users are idiots and Wizards claim a monopoly on common sense. I want smart software, but if I can't have that, I want dumb software that knows it is dumb and comes to me for help, not dumb software that thinks it is smart and tells me lies it believes to be true. - jfieber@indiana.edu in RISKS 20.63 on route planning software saying you can't get there from here
Because of the more relaxed atmosphere they tend to forget they're live to air. Emma Caufield (Anya from Buffy) let fuck slip out on an interview on national radio.
But most people here only watch free to air stuff. We have cable and satellite but they're only allowed to have exclusive rights to things the free to air don't want (it's more complex than that but this is/.). And what's more is they're all required to have digital terrestrial transmission by now.
So we get all our tv transmitted in unencrypted, 6Mbit (or there abouts) MPEG, widescreen. Each channel has about 21-25 Mbit of bandwidth so most stations also transmit a HD signal as well. Currently I think one of them transmit at 1080i, and the rest at either 720p or 576p as the high definition channel.
Also the leading cable/sat tv provider has just started transmitting their cable pay service using DVB-C.

"Reasonable and non-discriminatory" (RAND) does not imply "free".
RAND licencing usually means reasonable and non-discriminatory" for business. What MS can (and probably will) do if Mono gets any traction is say, "We'll licence the right to use all these patents for 10 cents per install". Perfectly reasonable. Perfectly non-discriminatory. Kills any open source implementation dead.
- ask about any subject X and include 'Linux' and it'll get your answers posted to slashdot.
You need to ask the question where "Linux sucks because Windows can do X" where X is something you want to do under linux. Trolling is far more effective than actually asking for help.

Can I get you to cast your mind back to the Pentium 1.14 Gig processor. Almost every review site was raving about how wonderful the first 1 Gig processor was. etc etc
Except Toms Hardware and one other (it may have been Anandtech). They actually did verifiable testing and found they could not finish compiling the linux kernel without it crashing. Shortly afterwards, due to the noise made by these two sites, intel recalled the chip.
Just because they change sides doesn't mean they're following the advertising dollars. The early athlons did outperform intel chips. Then intel caught up and recently the P4s have been outperforming the Athlons. Now it looks like Athlon 64s will outperform the P4s. This happens.
As for using a comment directed at the AMD-fanboys as evidence, the AMD-fanboys are freaks and are far more biased than any news site could possible get away with.

That's because it's the only animal that will stoop low enough to each the only surviving, "edible", foodstuff. Spam.

Yuo get modded as "insightful" for stating the obvious.

It's those evil Novell people stealing GNOME's valuable source code to include in KDE.
Unlike in America, nobody really cares here.

Which millenium in it's development are we talking here?

Could also be a misspelling of "Aural density". The measure of the amount of bullshit in any given sentence.

"How'd the fuck did they do that? We've had this code for years and we can't be 100% compatible."
