- Anonymous Patron writes "The Buffalo News looks at what makes up all those best seller lists we read so much about. A best seller, nowadays, is far more than just a book that has sold a lot of copies. It's more like the embodiment of a myth - the myth of success, desirability, fame - all contained within two glossy book covers.

- Jeg har et lille netværk med 3 PCer, hvor de 2 har forbindelse til internet gennem nummer 3. Det har virket indtil idag, men nu kan jeg ikke få hul igennem. Hvis jeg prøver at reparere LAn-forbindelserne får jeg at vide at XP ikke kunne reparere forbindelsen fordi netværksadressen ikke kunne fornyes. Jeg har også fået fejlmelding 1003. Alle netværkskort har de nyeste drivers, og jeg kan også komme på nettet med den PC der har forbindelse med nettet. |

- Are feeds implied licenses, or can they alter express ones? I don't think there's an easy answer, but a court could be asked this question before long as businesses built on RSS continue to explore what they can and should be doing with the material they aggregate. Marty Schwimmer (Bloglines, no thanks), Dennis Kennedy (don't make me put ads in my feed), and Robert Scoble (people who live in full post houses shouldn't throw republication stones) have more. Mark Fletcher expands and contracts.... |

- Yes; I think it was probably this central issue which got me started here on my resolution confusion / investigations. I'll have to look now how my html editor displays in XP 125%. Hopefully I can associate Firefox into it as the external browser and maybe get the same 'resolution-irrelevant' display. Of course, to say again, this is assuming that I indeed have used em and % properly in those 2 files, and succeeded in creating the most 'transparent' code. |
