I believe that hard line religious indoctrination occurs in every religion and this is why there are groups within every religion willing to destroy the others with the complete belief that they are acting in their gods name. To my mind this is the real problem and can only change over a long period of time. What people from both sides need is better education and communication which will develop more understanding and acceptance. Lets put the bible, the corran and whatever other books drive people to kill each other in the name of god in the fiction section of the library where they belong.

Im happy to disagree.

Well, you get assistance on the code you show. If you don't show the code you use, you can't get help with it. If you need to shorten the code, make sure that the example still shows the faulty behaviour that you need to fix. --- b { font-weight: normal; }

Awwwwwww really? Me leaving would make you happy? Dream on :laugh:

Errrrrrr I have read about and designed user interfaces for over 15 years now thanks. Trying not to be critical here, but the applications of the last 15 years largely have poorly designed, non-standard, cluttered UIs. (not that I'm saying you or I had any part in that ;)) But I think what the docs are getting at is that the APIs in place for Vista will encourage cleaner, more intuitive user interfaces. Emotional response, in particular, emotional attachment to an application is not just marketing nonsense, but something that I shoot for in all apps I write. It's kind of ironic: I can spend weeks implementing great new features and adding stability via bug fixing (all great things, and always a must), yet the change that gets the most response from end users is "wow! I love the new look! Those icons look so much better!", when I spent maybe 5 minutes changing the icons of the app. Now I'm not saying that UI presentation is all there is to it and we shouldn't focus on stability. What I am saying is that UI is important to end users, and I think Avalon apps look great from what I've seen (cleaner, simpler UI designs, and the 3d tranlucent effects don't hurt either); compared to the MFC and Win32-based UIs I've written, frankly I'm put to shame. :-O Tech, life, family, faith: Give me a visit.

Like the other guy mentioned with Divx, this will sort itself out pretty quickly, *unless* the media companies set up some sort of limits by changing the law as well as changing the hardware. That would get ugly, but like I said before, I suspect that would entail some sort of violation of free speech, and that would ultimately get turned over.

The environmental argument you're making is fine, but your political geography is well dodgy. The Outer Hebrides are not "at the northern tip of England".

I don't think the 500 errors we all know and love are due to the back-end database, so the implied assumption that moving to MySQL from SQL Server is tenous at best. Your justification for MySQL is also a bit weak. How many of your 100,000 hits result in a database query or update?
