If you're talking about normal so called "flak jackets," you're dead on. They only stop fragments from small grenades and the occasional small side arm/pistol round.
How true this is, I can't say. But: The US Army has adopted Interceptor Body Armor, however, which uses Enhanced Small Arms Protective Inserts (E-S.A.P.I) in the chest and back of the armour. Each plate is rated to stop a range of ammunition including 3 hits from a 7.62 AP round at a range of 10 m, though accounts in Iraq and Afghanistan tell of soldiers shot as much as seven times in the chest without penetration.
But a single, large, extremely well built and calibrated photosite is going to perform far, far better than cramming 10 million crappy ones onto chip the size of the end of your pinky.
Let's just hope that those little mirrors don't degrade image quality, lest we end up in the same boat we're in now.
Put this on your DC, it works great. With the right setup and administration you can save lots of internet/network bandwidth by serving updates off the DC instead of off the real Windows Update. You can also choose to not deploy updates, if they conflict with software or are problematic in other ways.
Of course this was going to happen -- I was surprised when I read that Apple was having discussions with Cisco on the name. Trusting Cisco over something like this and they screw Apple over? Gee, color me surprised.
Got it wrong there bud.
Apple was in talks to acquire rights to use the name, but they did not sign any contracts before they publicly released information and began using the iPhone trademark. The fault is squarely in Apple's court. Apple screwed up on this one, not Cisco.

CSS is fine. CSS3 is even better. The problems you're encountering are just half-assed implementations of the standard, most likely in IE and Gecko (though webkit/khtml and Opera have known issues as well). The worst problems come from IE6 and IE7 where rendering bugs, improper implementation, and non-implementation of standards cause poor results with things that work just fine in all the other major browsers. Once you start applying (admittedly dodgy) workarounds, which are done by either restructuring your XHTML or adding goofy hacks to your CSS, or both...then you start to to degrade your design in the competition's browsers.
As far tin-foil hattage is concerned, I firmly believe that this is intentional on the part of Microsoft.
Blackcomb was the name, now it's morphed into "Vienna." Windows code names seem to come from resorts. I believe that what we call "heavy irony," as Windows is neither relaxing nor fun.
That's not true at all. I talked with him this morning (he's a friend) and he was reading Playboy. I inquired as to what he was doing and he stated matter-of-factly that he was indeed only reading the magazine for "the articles."
From the wiki page: "e-gold is a digital gold currency operated by Gold & Silver Reserve Inc. under e-gold Ltd., and is a system which allows the instant transfer of gold ownership between users. e-gold Ltd. is incorporated in Nevis, Lesser Antilles."
Analyze any spyware, adware, hijackware, malware, virii etc. for any length of time, and you'll quickly realize that there is very, very little talent in the pool of "developers" that create this crap.
Only honey bees lose their stingers (and subsequently their life) when stinging a "victim," this is because the stinger is barbed and once lodged into flesh it sticks along with it's venom sac. Most other bee species don't have these barbs, so they can sting multiple times and live.
I suggest Hornets, Yellow Jackets or other wasp species as they can sting multiple times and do so with more potent venom. They are also far more aggressive.
That's not offtopic, it's just a woefully inadequate description of what he carries on his rescue disk. From the GNU Tar man page:
"GNU tar creates and manipulates archives which are actually collections of many other files; the program provides users with an organized and systematic method for controlling a large amount of data. The name "tar" originally came from the phrase "Tape ARchive", but archives need not (and these days, typically do not) reside on tapes."

Normally I'd just laugh and mod you +1 funny. Sadly I think you might be serious.
I mean, you got first post.
