How can you be so utterly full of hate that you think that anyone who wants to marry someone of the same sex must be a drop out and/or drunk. And that all homosexuals are men, that's an interesting one as well.Being gay is not some sort of fault. It's not something you blame on parents, because there isn't anything to blame anyone for. The idea that gay people were taught to be gay by their parents (or anyone else for that matter) is so foreign to me I can hardly understand how anyone wouldn think that.

It's true that CSS and different browsers can be tricky, however (as you no9t9 pointed out) basic CSS will work okay most of the time. The site I linked to does give a three column layout with a header and a footer, which looks the same in both IE and Mozilla browsers (haven't tested in Opera myself, but it should look good), it makes a few hacks to make it look the same in IE as in Mozilla. If you want to see more advanced things being done with CSS that look good whether you are using IE or Firefox you should check out CSS Zen Garden.

Well, you'll definitely need HTML For the layout, I'd use CSS, and not tables. Not only will you get cleaner, easily readable markup, you will probably also need less markup using CSS, which means less bandwidth used. If you want a nice tutorial that explains all steps (and has a summary at the end if you just want the code needed) you should go here. Scroll down to the bottom, it's "Tutorial 9. Liquid three column layout" you'll want to check out. Good luck.

When it comes to images, I think the best you can do is to only show a smaller image and have a big SAMPLE written across it. You can have the word semi-opaque, so people can still kind of see the image, but no one wants to have an image with SAMPLE written across it.For the text, you could show excerpts of the texts, of course depending a bit of what kind of text it is.But timed previews don't sound very good to me. You won't really protect your content, but more importantly you'll annoy your potential customers.

I'd like to see full CSS1 support. I'd love CSS2.1. And I would die for some CSS3. But right now I'm just hoping for some CSS bug fixes and some additional things supported. However, I'm only hestitantly hopeful, MS are well known for fearing to break anything, and (sadly enough) fixing some rendering bugs would break a whole lot of webpages which are using hacks to make IE6 display things properly. Anne van Kesteren writes a pretty good possible solution in his blog. And I do think they'll add tabbed browsing. All popular browsers have it, and I think they will finally add it as well. Actually, it'll probably be a lot like Maxthon or Avant Browser. Except perhaps ad-blocking? I've heard people suggest that if MS would add ad-blocking to IE they would probably get sued, a lot. Whatever happens, It'll be interesting to see, and I am looking forward to seeing what they'll release.

My suggestion would be that churches should have nothing to do with the (legal) marriage. As far as I am concerned they may hold a marriage ceremony, but it would be a religious ceremony, like baptising or communion, with no official relation to the marriage (as seen by law). In other words, a true split of church and state. The current situation where the church has special rights to marry people is in my eyes undesirable. That way a church (or other organisation) could deny anyone they like: gay couples, one armed people, people who make bad jokes. I don't care. The problem here is not same sex marriage, it's that churches are allowed to marry people (again, in the sense of the law). About marriage having religious connotations for you, I'm sure it might have for you, and many christians, but it doesn't for everyone.

I'm not the one calling your homless girlfriend stupid or lazy. I was merely reading your post, if I got something wrong please let me know: You say that you have a girlfriend who has been homeless since she was 13. You say that the government won't help. Then you say Which seems to imply that: In the US you can make something out of yourself and earn your own, something which you can't do in other countries where you need someone else (parents perhaps) who provide something for you. Non-US countries have homeless people with loads of money. In the US you get money depending on how hard/smart you work. Given those points I thought that your position would be that someone who isn't doing well (economically) in the US has no one but themselves to blame.

Let me just pick on that, okay? I should perhaps have added that I don't think the church should have any special position at all. So it would be something like: Law dictates who can and cannot get married. Then you have civil cervants who can marry people. And then they can act out whatever religious/other ceremony they want. The ceremony should however in no way be connected to the legal state of marriage. And if there are two men who want to have a ceremony in church, well that is their problem. They can see if they can find a church who will allow them to hold their own ceremony, but whether they can find a church or not, their ability to get married should not be affected.

Well, it looks like Microsofts IE team has gotten some work done. They are planning on releasing IE7 betas this summer. It'll be interesting to see what it has and if it will finally support some serious CSS. You can read more on the IE blog, the blog for the IE development team.

If your site is using PostNuke, which it seems to be doing (I checked your site, and I went to the mushroom directory), that could be it. It wouldn't surprise me if PostNuke has its own database it uses to store things in.

Seriously, if you see something like "PHP Game Programming (2004) - Premier Press", you don't think that that might be a book still being sold? You know, it is still being sold. I checked the link, it doesn't say "we have permission to give away this book" anywhere, something you would expect for a book still being sold, wouldn't you? Or perhaps you think that a publisher giving permission to spread a book they are still selling is perfectly normal? And that they would probably not tell the second party to put a little note saying that they are allowed to share it? And that they would give the giveaway-rights to a site which main index looks like this: http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ (it does hardly look like a site a big publisher would go to to spead their books)? And it doesn't look like you ever even think about this. Do you think Microsoft is spreading its books for free? On a domain called netz.ru Do you think John_wiley & Sons, one of the biggest publishers of technical books are suddenly giving them away for free through Rapidshare? If you really do think that all those links you've posted are legal I can check with the publishers for you. But I can tell you right now: They. Are. Not.

Yes, was. Many people who get married don't go to a church anymore. Christianity can't claim ownership of marriage. I wouldn't mind if, say, the catholic church said that they won't be marrying same sex couples and that their god will crush the skulls of their enemies' babies, it's all in their bible. But marriage is common good now, and it's not for any church to decide what does and what does not go.

We've been over this several times now. The fetus could become a child who could become a serial-killer. It's totally beside the point, because you don't know what will happen. Secondly, it's not a child, it's a fetus. There is no innocent child being murdered.

If you are going to post download links for four different sites with books, could you please do it in just one post in the future, there's really no point in having four posts, unless you are expecting long discussions about each book, which you probably aren't if you've been watching your other threads.Secondly, could you please not post links to illegal material in the future? Thanks!

You can do it without the global vars turned on, just instead of having $id in the code you use $_GET['id'].If you think it's too bulky just have $id = $_GET['id'];somewhere at the top of your code.

A year ago several hundreds of megabytes of code spread on the net, the code was allegedly a small part of the Windows 2000 source code. I don't really understand what a leak of Windows code has to do with Linux, or how the presence of Linux forced the leak. Or perhaps 7r33 really meant "leek" and there is some fiendish vegetable plot in the making!

Drupal is a CMS, like PHP-Nuke and so on, if you want to make a portal you could use it.btw, you shouldn't use the addon script things, you should use fantastico instead. The addon scripts had some bugs in them.

I guess you should be okay in that case. Note that I am just making educated guesses, I have no proof either way.

It's just a rumour at the moment. No one (except the people who work at Google obviously) know when or even if there is going to be a GBrowser.

Click on the link I posted, read the article, but also read the comments.

Yeah, it's been several months since it was released, you can get much more out of date than that!? Seriously, I'd like to know what their browser choice is, could be Opera I guess, not that it's exactly enormously "cutting-edge". It could be that they were in fact talking about IE, which is seriously out of date, and hasn't been developed since about the release of Win XP.

Yeah, but I also want to drag non-links. So if I drag, say, "extension" and drop it, I get a new tab with Google search results for "extension".

Well, a socialist economic system would mean there wouldn't be any large enterprises in private ownership, enterprises and real estate is owned by the public or at least the people who live/work there. But that's not the case in any European countries, nor in Canada. I will go as far as to say that I can't think of any socialist enonomy on a national level existing in the world today. And I'm not sure I could come up with any nation having a socialist economy ever (not counting small tribes sharing everything and so on). Just because a social democatic party is in government in a country does not mean it's a socialist state. Anyway, since the other thread you posted the rant in seems to have died I'll restate my post from there here: You say that you have a girlfriend who is homeless and has been since she was the age of 13. Then you go on to say that the USA is much better than the UK and Europe and Canada (ps. the UK is a part or Europe) because in the US you get paid for how hard and smart you work. So what you're saying is that she has no one but herself to blame, because she is to lazy, or too stupid, to get a job and support herself? Yeah, I agree, you have to admire a country that is so good a thirteen year old child can become homeless and not get any help.

I think I learned PHP by just googling for 'PHP tutorial' and looking at the php.net specs. I started out doing very simple things, just to learn a bit how PHP worked and then went through progressivly more complex tutorials.I don't think php.net is that good for learning, but it's really handy once you know some PHP, and want to know how to use a certain function.

Adblock - Great extension.All-in-one gestures - Mouse gestures, you got to have them.Webdeveloper - Handy stuff, in a context menu (or toolbar).Super DragAndGo - select text or a link or a text-URL, drag it a little bit away, relsease. And tadaah, you have a new tab open with whatever you dragged.Tabbrowser preferences - Extra tab preferences. Useful
