massive laws that contain everything about an entire field
Impose a word limit + prohibit abbreviations?
Let's say 150 words apiece so the laws of the land can be published unabridged in a modest paperback format. The perfect gift for every child as they turn 10 and gain criminal responsibility.
Is CH4 a more powerful greenhouse gas than CO2? I seem to remember it is, but I'm not sure.
As far as I recall methane is a far more powerful greenhouse gas, but not so long-lived in the atmosphere, while carbon dioxide's effects are lesser, but much longer lived. Which wikipedia agrees with.
So I guess in reality the answer's pretty complicated, requiring that we look at the cumulative costs going into the future.
Free Demo's will probably be phased out over time. As big studios go on, they'll make the Beta open to select purchasers of other titles of theirs
Okay, all well and good for rewarding their existing base of loyal customers, but what about new customers? You know, the ones who use demos as a preview to see if they like before they buy.
Being compliant is certainly not a waste from a business standpoint
That's the point, the companies making the software in TFA are all about compliance. As are their customers.
The problem is that the customers see the software as being effective because of the compliance cited (apparently even in the face of high rates of "failure"). On the flipside the software companies are focusing on being compliant to more extent than making effective software. Probably fueled by having customers who focus on their purchases being compliant.
Cue a vicious circle. And the whole process becoming a huge waste, despite it apparently being all well and good from a business standpoint.
And that said, I would still welcome Nintendo/Apple to come in and make ripples in the educational software market with wide open arms.
Why?
Because right now educational software, at least in primary schools, sure as hell could use someone to come in and figure out how to make it "just work", with good intuitive interfaces. While I'm sure there's good edu software out there somewhere, it sure wasn't in any of the primary schools I've seen in the last few years. Heck, Apple and a blown-up iPhone OS could be revolutionary compared to the current "interactive whiteboards" that seem to now be in every classroom of the land.
I believe their used to be five(I think that Konqueror used to have it's own rendering engine though I was never a KDE man, so I may be wrong)
That would be KHTML...which is what Apple forked to create WebKit
According to the Dutch memo, the UK has played a lead role in making the case for full disclosure of the documents and is of the view that there is consensus for release of the text (there is support from many countries including the Netherlands, Sweden, Finland, Ireland, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, and Austria). However, the memo indicates that several countries are not fully supportive including Belgium, Portugal, Germany, and Denmark.Of these four countries, the Dutch believe that Denmark is the most inflexible on the issue.
Outside of the Europe, the memo identifies three problem countries. While Japan is apparently supportive, both South Korea and Singaporeare oppose ACTA transparency. Moreover, the U.S. has remained silent on the issue, unconvinced of the need for full disclosure. In doing so, it would appear that the U.S. is perhaps the biggest problem, since a clear position of support might be enough to sway the remaining outliers.
From the realm of silence this seems important, if only to point out who the problem children are in this little game.
Can't wait for the virtual elementary school. Just strap your kid to the gurney and put the goggles on 'em.
Unfortunately this situation seems to exist in the form of poorly trained teachers, for whom science education is limited to videos on the interactive whiteboard.
If you're paying £1/Mb, shop around.
I have no idea about on contract, but three has 30p/MB on PAYG, after your initial "free" 150MB per topup (6.6p/MB @ £10topup).
Or if you just want mobile net access for your laptop, its £15/month = 5GB/month or £7.50/month = 1GB/month over the air.
How well do your current pages support Lynx? Does that answer the question?
And how much code is there that is IE6 specific that IE7/8 isnt compatible with?
It's not so much a case of code not being compatible with IE6, it's more that IE6 botches layout.
You can create a perfectly accessible, standards compliant site (that looks just fine in Lynx), but in IE6 will have broken backgrounds, weirdly positioned bits, overlaps of boxes etc.—in short a site that looks terrible to the user. The developer, who would like users to perceive their site as looking nice, rather than a broken mess, then has to spend time (sometimes a lot of time) trying to pin down special site-specific IE6 fixes (that sometimes aren't standards compliant) to make IE display the site the same as all the other browsers manage to.
Neutrinos have bad breadth.
