i get a script error (IE6 on XP professional). I think it's to do with the platform detection script. It works fine after I dismiss the error though. Looks very nice.

i also have the B&O earphones and really recommend them. They are more stable/secure than in the ear style, they don't mess up your hair like the overhead ones and the sony streetstyle 'round-the-back' ones hurt my ears after a couple of hours. …

It seems you all want to/have to programm in C++ and hey, it's your call, but even so, Java is obviously the language to learn first. (In fact, I was under the impression that introductory CS courses were defecting in droves. Maybe the US is behind …

why C++ sucks: the main reason that C++ sucks is (surprisingly) culture. The people who choose to program in it over other languages are making the choice based on raw power and machismo. This is all very well if you are writing an OS kernel (but i…

I don't want to start a language debate BUT C++ sucks hard. Using it as programming language when you have to is murder, using it to learn programming is madness - the bad habits you learn will haunt you for the rest of your career. I am currently l…

back to the topic at hand (reasons to hate Bush): how about the fact that his grandfather made a fortune fronting a Nazi bank in New York during the second world war (yes, even after the US joined the war, which for your information, did not begin …

glad to see the some high quality journalism. I particularly liked... And in Northern Ireland, the freeing of hundreds of killers ("political prisoners") I mean, god damn those devious liberals with their mind-bending euphamisms and politica…

bawjaws is a scottish term of (mild) abuse. Not as harsh as eejit, more like a numpty or heid-the-baw. I chose it as a username because I remember my dad calling me it as a bairn. It must be falling out of use because even google only returns 14 …

way to go mpw_amherst. I thought about posting similar views and information but correctly predicted that the response would be negative/abusive. From my reading of this board I would suggest that Scott H is an abusive troll and best ignored. As …

just to clarify: replacing javascript with XSLT makes no sense and is not the W3C's (or anyone else's) goal. ECMAScript (the standardised version of javascript) is the only option for scripting HTML across browsers and will be around for a while…

i don't know if it's the same in the US but in the UK the entire apple range is available at discount rates to full-time students. I will be buying a new iMac + MS Office in my younger brother's name and will save about £300 each on the hardware and…

while I agree with the sentiments behind power conservation, I leave my computers on constantly because: on-off cycles are bad for electrical equipment. The start up time is a pain in the *** - i've got always-on internet acces so I need an a…

obviously it's digital when it's in the computer but most displays are analogue so it get's converted on the way out. Digital displays have to reconvert the signal before they display it and this leads to some loss of quality. the iMac keeps it in t…

W00t! (I have no idea what that means but it sums up how I feel) my iMac was delivered 5 minutes ago. I'm seriously considering faking an illness and heading home from work early.

when I try and track my iMac delivery through the link from the apple store i get: Error: You are not authorized to use this page! (0101) anyone else get this?

i don't know if this answers your question but I just ordered my iMac with 256mb of memory. I'll order another 512mb from crucial.com later but I want to experience it 'slow' first so that I can better appreciate the speed increase (if any).
