Thousand Oaks -- Imagine tearing into a holiday present to find a PlayStation 3 box... with a phone book sealed inside! That's what happened to 13-year-old Brandon Burns Christmas morning. He says he laughed about it when it happened. His parents... not so much, since they spent $500 for the PS3. They say they plan on taking the phone book, the box, and their receipt back to the Thousand Oaks mall store where they bought it. Good luck, guys!
Will BestCrypt Traveler allow you to access encrypted containers on a machine where you do not have admin privileges?-mwb1100 (December 20, 2007, 11:02 PM)
Quoting the help file:
"Please note that the user should have administrating privileges to run BestCrypt Traveller software."
"BestCrypt Traveller" seems like a very limited version of commercial "Bestcrypt". I'll stick with TrueCrypt.... 100% free, no crippleware.-wr975 (December 21, 2007, 01:50 AM)
While some of his neighbors were decorating their houses with multicolored lights and illuminated Santas, Tony Hansen was building an assault on the senses. Using $10,000 worth of professional lighting and sound equipment that he borrowed from his job as a lighting designer, Hansen's 25,000-light display is synchronized to five songs, which he broadcasts over an FM-radio frequency so passers-by can pick it up in their cars.
When "Snoopy's Christmas" plays, strobe lights timed to gunfire in the song flash, and at the end, when a champagne cork pops to signal the "holiday toast" between Snoopy and the Red Baron, half of Hansen's lights cut out as if they've been hit by the flying cork.
The best idea in IE7 was hiding the Menu bar automatically, using the ALT key to display it. I rarely go to the menus, and this saves valuable screen space. I wish Opera would do this.-zridling (December 23, 2007, 03:49 PM)
The most current build of IE8 running in standards mode now correctly renders the Acid2 browser test.
Acid2 is a test that determines how well a browser works with several different web standards. Successfully rendering Acid2 is an important landmark for IE8, as it highlights the interoperability, standards compliance and backwards compatibility that we're committed to for this release. We are also announcing that IE8 Beta 1 will be released in the first half of 2008. This is the first significant disclosure of IE8 features and standards support and we expect broad interest. A Channel 9 video interview will provide further detail on this announcement.
As per usual, we will continue to collect designer and developer feedback to determine additional milestone timelines further down the line.
New information for developers: One of the goals of IE8 is to support the right set of standards with excellent implementation and without breaking the existing web. Last week, IE8 reached a core milestone: IE8 in standard mode now correctly renders the “Acid2 Browser Test”. Acid2 is a test that determines how well a browser works with several different web standards.
This guy took pictures of himself everyday for 8 years. After he bought his Nikon CoolPix 900 camera, his girlfriend asked if he would be using it everyday with a sarcastic inflection. Little did she know that he was about to begin the project of his life. Click the image to see the video.
