Maybe you should try laying down or get some sort of ceiling-mounted harness...

The 2nd edition of this book already covered CSS2 and CSS2.1. It says so right on the cover. How about a pocket reference that covers CSS3 -- and a widely-used browser that supports it well.

Journal Journal: FCC indecency rules struck down. 548

Journal by arbitraryaardvark on Monday June 04, 2007 @09:36PM

Reuters reports that the 2nd circuit has struck down the FCC's rules on indecency, in a case brought by Fox. The court said the U.S. Federal Communications Commission was "arbitrary and capricious" in setting a new standard for defining indecency. Republican FCC Chairman Kevin Martin angrily retorted, "'shit' and 'fuck' bleep bleep children." The case is a victory for Nicole Richie and Bono and Cher, as some of the people Fox a

HoboBob writes: "It has been suggested that Nintendo will be unveiling some new hardware for the Wii at E-3, and some are speculating that it could be a hard drive. According to the article: 'Confirmation back in April that Neo Geo games will begin being added to Wii's Virtual Console download service adds weight to the speculation, considering Neo Geo games are huge — some clocking in it at up to 330MB. One of those bad boys would put serious strain on the Wii's memory.'"

Spam That Delivers a Pink Slip 160

alphadogg wrote in with a Network World story that begins: "Last week, a handful of employees at Dekalb Medical Center in Decatur, Ga., received e-mails saying they were being laid off. The subject line read 'Urgent — employment issue,' and the sender listed on the message was at dekalb.org, which is the domain the medical center uses. The e-mail contained a link to a Web site that claimed to offer career-counseling information. And so a few employees, concerned about their employment status and no doubt miffed about being laid off via e-mail, clicked on the link to learn more and unwittingly downloaded a keylogger program that was lurking at the site. Score another one for spammers."

Utube Sues YouTube 438

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday November 02, 2006 @05:43AM from the koca-cola dept.

An anonymous reader writes "From The Age article: Universal Tube, which sells used machines that make tubes, has said it has lost business because customers have had trouble accessing its site." So now Utube is suing YouTube seeking a cease and desist on the youtube domain. (I wonder if they think Google's pockets might be deeper that the previous owners'.) This again raises the problems of domain names colliding across different industries and countries, and reminds me of the etoys/etoy tussle a few years back. Should domain name simply be exempt from trademark legislation in all countries or is it a legit thing to fight for?"
