Re: The Quran incident and its reception

What exactly is "holyied then now"?

And if you haven't noticed, even the American media doesn't seemed bothered over the burning of the American flag. The media is comprised of smart people, who've gone to university, and who're pretty knowledgeable about news and know enough to make their stand (probably the US isn't supposed to be in Iraq?). Maybe you should take up the matter with them.

@ Whine: check this out: http://avscan.blogspot.com/...

You don't need to be emotionally connected to a user interface, but it certainly has to be intuitive, and if possible, pretty.

@ Techguy: this is amazing. You haven't (a) even considered the fact that this isn't an updated version of the information presented (see the note at the beginning of the article), and (b) that if antivirus software performance was consistent with detection and disinfection ratings I wouldn't even be writing these posts (see the first post in this series, or better, the FAQ on AV Scan).

Re: Gmail inbox is really 5GB?

tashfeen — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 00:53:23 -0000

That's what I'm asking: the numbers are growing everytime, so why would the Gmail team say the inbox is 5GB? (PS- I use Gmail since it was in beta.)

Re: And the winner of the browser speed wars is... not Firefox 3.0

Flock and Firefox do display similar characteristics (both seem to perform better rendering non-graphics intensive sites). The updated Flock, which will be built on FF3.0, ought to be even more Firefox-ish than the current version. I know Apple claims their browser is the best, but unfortunately I couldn't test Safari or Konqueror because I'm running Windows.

jeff, sorry, I forgot! testing the ones I did were pretty hectic and pretty much took my breath away.

Re: Sophos antivirus review

tashfeen — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 19:07:53 -0000

That's a tough one. I'd say Sophos is superior to both Avast and AVG, but that's because it detects malware a lot better than both. Avast is improving day by day, plus it's free, so if you have to choose between the two (or the three), go with Avast. If you're looking for a good antivirus for your company, I'd suggest NOD32 or Kaspersky.

You don't have to go through all that trouble! You only have to click on the View Source icon (the file icon next to the printer icon) on the code. That will open a pop-up with the line numbers removed :)

Do you mean this part?
.syntaxhighlighter .line .content .block {
background: none !important; }

It comes after the CDATA area and before </head>. Hope this clears up things. Thanks for the feedback!

I don't get it, those are lines 2 and 3 in the first block of code in this post. Why are you saying they're missing?

I checked it too, strange that Chrome behaves like this. I'll put up a note in the post notifying users about this. Thanks again!

this is why we love your posts, Antonio - you tend to think out of the box. and yes, i agree, tables are still important, unless, of course, you don't give a damn about accessibility. keep up the good work and see you around!

Re: A picture of Islamofascism: Two Sudanese policeman whipping a defenceless woman

tashfeen — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 16:19:26 -0000

Dear Toby, Sharia laws do have their loopholes and once again the video proves it. The Quran does NOT sanction aggression of any kind, and specifically condemns violence against innocent people. FYI, wearing trousers is perfectly Sharia-safe.

What you see in the video is just a bunch of goons displaying the extent of moral and psychological corruption in a particular society. Unfortunately, there are quite a few of those societies in the world today - mostly 'Islamic'.

Off topic: your post seems to attack one feminist/critic in particular without providing enough details. You seem to be overgeneralizing about Western feminists, which is unfair.
