When IE starts to actually conform to a standard I usually start to worry.
Don't worry. IE has its own way of doing @font-face. To be fair, IE has supported font-face the longest. Just with its own file format.
I think this setup is working. It is creating real competition. Sure, the seven browsers offered right now are crap, but before MS was forced to offer choices, these browsers would have zero exposure. There was little incentive to try to update any browser that wasn't backed by someone with deep pockets. So, no one tried. Most of these are simple pet projects. Now, developers might be interested. Investors have a way to inexpensively get software in front of millions of users. These choices will only get better. The barrier to entry has been lowered. Microsoft has been forced to compete with the little guy. Right now, the little guy is loosing, but these seven have nowhere to go, but up.
Score one for the EU. They had the balls to make change instead of just fining M$ millions of their billions.
Including the required pieces of flair... None at all. Zero.
WOW! You just blew my mind
Until now, I believed as you do... "Cell phones are not actually known to cause any health problems". Low level RF is already in our natural habitat.
Unfortunately, this article is worrisome, because the study showed a positive effect. The problem is that it had any affect at all. If cell phone radiation can affect Alzheimer's, then cell phone radiation has an affect, positive or negative is just a modifier.
Quick Google search shows that 300,000 people are killed by obesity each year. Time to ban cheeseburgers.
Please let the madness of trying to ban / legislate away all the things that can hurt us.
The question becomes how far is too far? I think as long as I wake up each morning without fearing for my life, then a reasonable level of safety has been achieved.
I like to talk on the phone while driving. BTW, I find the radio much more distracting.
Depending on how Microsoft classifies it's workforce, this may be a simple labeling issue, Many companies call future development work R&D for tax purposes. I believe you can deduct or amortize part of your R&D budget. So, Windows 8 may very well be "R&D".
I wrote a quick app to test this a while back. This is called the Martingale system.
Needless to say it doesn't work. Millions of iterations showed that most of the time, you hit the table limit long before a winning bet during a loosing streak (which happens very frequently). You end up betting millions to gain $10.
The casinos love it when you try this, btw.
In a coin flip, past performance is not an indicator of future events.
Always draw your curves, then plot your reading.
