|The majority of drug users
The majority of drug users are white, but the majority of people charged with drug related offenses aren't. So the criminalization aspect of your point has some merit, and we could get into a whole political debate over mandatory minimums but this isn't the place. The generalization that the player wanting drugs would be black might be off based on average US statistics. I'm wondering if you're white because I've found that white people love to tell everyone what others are offended by.

I stopped paying attention after people like me started inhabiting the calming shores of the MGoCommunity. I came in, thought I would make a joke here and there and this place turned into a bunch of people just trying to be funny. I realized what I had done, stopped posting, and left the memes to others. I never posted a picture of a meme, but I never contributed to real football conversation. This community does not need more people like me so I make myself scarce. However, I do still believe we need a new OC, and we need the point system of old. The point system that made me fear posting something stupid, the point system that made me really think about every post before posting. Good days.

|Fire Borges. Nobody will read
Fire Borges. Nobody will read this, fine. I get that the MSU defense is good, I really get it. It seems that our offensive production is directly correlated to the opposing defense. We have done well against bad defenses and terribly against the elite. You know what that means? The offense is mediocre, not worthy of this school and team that I hold close to my heart. If I see that 3 stacked WR set again I'm going to puke. All the NFL teams use that set, wait nope, nobody does, not even decent college teams. And fuck it, let's run it up the middle despite the fact that we know that we haven't had any success, and won't the rest of the game. No, don't try to spread the field. And let's go play action on every passing play when they've had no reason to respect the run in the first place. Honestly there was a time that I thought that Denard was holding back the offense that they really wanted to run. Now that I've seen the offense they want to run, I'm hoping they go back to ripping off RR's play book. Mediocre, run of the mill, never going to beat a good defense, absolute shit. And the sad thing is that Hoke is such a good guy that he will justify this and Borges will torment me in the future. Fuck Borges.
Can't blame the defense when MSU is getting great field position all the time. Since they started at the 50 most of their drives, they should have scored twice as many points. The defense performed well, the offense fucked us, fucked up the special teams, fucked the defense over royally.
Fuck me, fuck you, fuck everybody, fuck everything. Most of all, fuck Borges, because he has fucked the entire fan base big time on multiple occasions. And I'm not even drunk, just pissed. Maybe I should get drunk.

2004 Copain Zinfandel, Arrowhead Mountain, Sonoma Valley
This is one of the loveliest zinfandels I have ever tasted. Medium bodied, highly aromatic nose of red raspberry, lingonberry and boysenberry, some spice, a hint of dried basil, and that elusive bramble that the best winemakers coax out of the grape. Beautifully delineated, very finessed, no obvious oak. Pinot-like. Pricey for zinfandel at around $40 but you can taste every penny, and it's well worth it.
2003 M3 Zinfandel, Old Vines, Lodi
Full bodied, a bruiser. Flavors of black raspberry, prune, molasses and vanilla; sweet-hot finish, as heavy as the Copain was light. A good choice for fans of over the top, bigger-is-better wines, but it doesn't work for me.

An anonymous reader writes: A pleasant event was planned for the 65th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. A ceremony at Tiananmen Square would release 10,000 pigeons at sunrise to symbolize an era of peace. Unfortunately, even symbols of peace can apparently remind people of violence. Chinese authorities searched all 10,000 pigeons for "dangerous materials," after the government was concerned they might be used for attacks. The pigeons' feathers were checked, and they were given a cavity search as well. The reports did not indicate what kind of "dangerous materials" these pigeons might be carrying. It's unclear whether any pigeons disclosed terror plots under interrogation.
Andy Updegrove writes: The Linux Foundation this morning announced the latest addition to its family of major hosted open source initiatives: the Open Platform for NFV Project (OPNFV). Its mission is to develop and maintain a carrier-grade, integrated, open source reference platform for the telecom industry. Importantly, the thirty-eight founding members include not only cloud and service infrastructure vendors, but telecom service providers, developers and end users as well. The announcement of OPNFV highlights three of the most significant trends in IT: virtualization (the NFV part of the name refers to network function virtualization), moving software and services to the cloud, and collaboratively developing complex open source platforms in order to accelerate deployment of new business models while enabling interoperability across a wide range of products and services. The project is also significant for reflecting a growing recognition that open source projects need to incorporate open standards planning into their work programs from the beginning, rather than as an afterthought.
SmartAboutThings writes Microsoft will monitor users in the new Windows 9 Operating System in order to determine how the new OS is used, thus decide what tweaks and changes are need to be made. During Windows 8 testing, Microsoft said that they had data showing Start Menu usage had dropped, but it seems that the tools they were using at the time weren't as evolved as the new 'Asimov' monitor. The new system is codenamed 'Asimov' and will provide a near real-time view of what is happening on users' machines. Rest assured, the data is going to be obscured and aggregated, but intelligible enough to allow Microsoft to get detailed insights into user interactions with the OS. Mary Jo Foley says that the system was originally built by the Xbox Team and now is being used by the Windows team. Users who will download the technical preview of Windows 9, which is said to get unveiled today, will become 'power users' who will utilize the platform in unique scenarios. This will help Microsoft identify any odd bugs ahead of the final release.
jones_supa (887896) writes Apple has released the OS X Bash Update 1.0 for OS X Mavericks, Mountain Lion, and Lion, a patch that fixes the "Shellshock" bug in the Bash shell. Bash, which is the default shell for many Linux-based operating systems, has been updated two times to fix the bug, and many Linux distributions have already issued updates to their users. When installed on an OS X Mavericks system, the patch upgrades the Bash shell from version 3.2.51 to version 3.2.53. The update requires the OS X 10.9.5, 10.8.5, or 10.7.5 updates to be installed on the system first. An Apple representative told Ars Technica that OS X Yosemite, the upcoming version of OS X, will receive the patch later.
Trailrunner7 writes: The FBI has developed an internal malware-analysis tool, somewhat akin to the systems used by antimalware companies, and plans to open the system up to external security researchers, academics and others. The system is known as Malware Investigator and is designed to allow FBI agents and other authorized law enforcement users to upload suspicious files. Once a file is uploaded, the system runs it through a cluster of antimalware engines, somewhat akin to the way that Virus Total handles submissions, and returns a wide variety of information about the file.
Users can see what the detection rate is among AV engines, network connection attempts, whether the file has been seen by the system before, destination and source IP addresses and what protocols it uses.Right now, Malware Investigator is able to analyze Windows executables, PDFs and other common file types. But Burns said that the bureau is hoping to expand the portal's reach in the near future. "We are going to be doing dynamic analysis of Android files, with an eye toward other operating systems and executables soon," he said.
Z80xxc! writes: CloudFlare, a cloud service that sits between websites and the internet to provide a CDN, DDOS and other attack prevention, speed optimization, and other services announced today that SSL will now be supported for all customers, including free customers. This will add SSL support to approximately 2 million previously unprotected websites. Previously SSL was only available to customers paying at least $20/month for a "Pro" plan or higher.
Browsers connect to CloudFlare's servers and receive a certificate provided by CloudFlare. CloudFlare then connects to the website's server to retrieve the content, serving as a sort of reverse proxy. Different security levels allow CloudFlare to connect to the website host using no encryption, a self-signed certificate, or a verified certificate, depending on the administrator's preferences. CloudFlare's servers will use SNI for free accounts, which is unsupported for IE on Windows XP and older, and Android Browser on Android 2.2 and older.
blottsie writes: Several major tech firms are in talks with Tor to include the software in products that can potentially reach over 500 million Internet users around the world. One particular firm wants to include Tor as a "private browsing mode" in a mainstream Web browser, allowing users to easily toggle connectivity to the Tor anonymity network on and off. "They very much like Tor Browser and would like to ship it to their customer base," Tor executive director Andrew Lewman wrote, explaining the discussions but declining to name the specific company. "Their product is 10-20 percent of the global market, this is of roughly 2.8 billion global Internet users." The product that best fits Lewman's description, by our estimation, is Mozilla Firefox, the third-most popular Web browser online today and home to, you guessed it, 10 to 20 percent of global Internet users.
An anonymous reader writes: U.S. authorities have arrested and indicted the CEO of a mobile software company for selling spyware that enables "stalkers and domestic abusers." The U.S. Department of Justice accuses the man of promoting and selling software that can "monitor calls, texts, videos and other communications on mobile phones without detection." The agency pointed out this is the first criminal case based on mobile spyware, and promised to aggressively pursue makers of similar software in the future. Here's the legal filing (PDF). The FBI, with approval from a District Court, has disabled the website hosting the software.
"The indictment alleges that StealthGenie's capabilities included the following: it recorded all incoming/outgoing voice calls; it intercepted calls on the phone to be monitored while they take place; it allowed the purchaser to call the phone and activate it at any time to monitor all surrounding conversations within a 15-foot radius; and it allowed the purchaser to monitor the user's incoming and outgoing e-mail messages and SMS messages, incoming voicemail messages, address book, calendar, photographs, and videos. All of these functions were enabled without the knowledge of the user of the phone."
First time accepted submitter chentiangemalc writes While Australia is on "high alert" for terror threats a man walked past a Sydney Airport security screening while engrossed in his iPad and delayed flights for an hour. From the article: "This event was captured on CCTV and unnerved officials so much that they evacuated passengers. As the Sydney Morning Herald reported, the man found himself (or, perhaps, didn't) going into the terminal through an exit passage that clearly was convenient for him, but less convenient for the hordes of passengers who not only had to be removed from Terminal 3, but also re-screened. A spokeswoman for Qantas told the Morning Herald: 'The man disembarked a flight and left. It appears he wasn't paying attention, was looking at his iPad, forgot something and walked back past (the security area).'"
Bismillah writes Google security researcher Michael 'lcamtuf' Zalewski says he's discovered a new remote code execution vulnerability in the Bash parser (CVE-2014-6278) that is essentially equivalent to the original Shellshock bug, and trival to exploit. "The first one likely permits remote code execution, but the attack would require a degree of expertise to carry out," Zalewski said. "The second one is essentially equivalent to the original flaw, trivially allowing remote code execution even on systems that deployed the fix for the initial bug," he added.
kyle11 writes I'm scratching my head at how to develop a decent wiki for a large organization I work in. We support multiple technologies, across multiple locations, and have ways of doing things that become exponentially convoluted. I give IT training to many of these users for a particular technology, and other people do for other stuff as well. Now, I hate wikis because everyone who did one before failed and gave them a bad name. If it starts wrong, it is doomed to failure and irrelevance.
What I'm looking for would be something like a Wiki with YouTube built in — make a playlist of videos with embedded links for certain job based tasks. And reuse and recycle those videos in other playlists of other tasks as they may be applicable. It would go beyond the actual IT we work with and would include things like, "Welcome to working in this department. Here are 20 videos detailing stupid procedures you need to go through to request access to customers' systems/networks/databases to even think about doing your job." I tried MediaWiki and Xwiki, and maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I can't seem to find a way to tweak them to YouTube-level simplicity for anyone to contribute to without giving up on the thing because its' a pain in the butt.
My only real requirement is that it not be cloud-based because it will contain certain sensitive information and I'd like it all to live on one virtual machine if at all possible. I can't be the only one with this problem of enabling many people to contribute and sort their knowledge without knowing how an HTML tag works, or copying files into something more complicated than a web browser. What approaches have any of you out there taken to trying to solve a similar problem?
An anonymous reader writes with this interesting story about what it's like to work at "Store Number 1," the CIA's Starbucks. The new supervisor thought his idea was innocent enough. He wanted the baristas to write the names of customers on their cups to speed up lines and ease confusion, just like other Starbucks do around the world. But these aren't just any customers. They are regulars at the CIA Starbucks. "They could use the alias 'Polly-O string cheese' for all I care," said a food services supervisor at the Central Intelligence Agency, asking that his identity remain unpublished for security reasons. "But giving any name at all was making people — you know, the undercover agents — feel very uncomfortable. It just didn't work for this location."
First time accepted submitter Mike Sheen writes I'm the lead developer for an Australian ERP software outfit. For the last 10 years or so we've been using Bugzilla as our issue tracking system. I made this publicly available to the degree than anyone could search and view bugs. Our software is designed to be extensible and as such we have a number of 3rd party developers making customization and integrating with our core product.
We've been pumping out builds and publishing them as "Development Stream (Experimental / Unstable" and "Release Stream (Stable)", and this is visible on our support site to all. We had been also providing a link next to each build with the text showing the number of bugs fixed and the number of enhancements introduced, and the URL would take them to the Bugzilla list of issues for that milestone which were of type bug or enhancement.
This had been appreciated by our support and developer community, as they can readily see what issues are addressed and what new features have been introduced. Prior to us exposing our Bugzilla database publicly we produced a sanitized list of changes — which was time consuming to produce and I decided was unnecessary given we could just expose the "truth" with simple links to the Bugzilla search related to that milestone.
The sales and marketing team didn't like this. Their argument is that competitors use this against us to paint us as producers of buggy software. I argue that transparency is good, and beneficial — and whilst our competitors don't publish such information — but if we were to follow our competitors practices we simply follow them in the race to the bottom in terms of software quality and opaqueness.
In my opinion, transparency of software issues provides:
Identification of which release or build a certain issue is fixed.
Recognition that we are actively developing the software.
Incentive to improve quality controls as our "dirty laundry" is on display.
Information critical to 3rd party developers.
A projection of integrity and honesty.
I've yielded to the sales and marketing demands such that we no longer display the links next to each build for fixes and enhancements, and now publish "Development Stream (Experimental / Unstable" as simply "Development Stream") but I know what is coming next — a request to no longer make our Bugzilla database publicly accessible. I still have the Bugzilla database publicly exposed, but there is now only no longer the "click this link to see what we did in this build".
A compromise may be to make the Bugzilla database only visible to vetted resellers and developers — but I'm resistant to making a closed "exclusive" culture. I value transparency and recognize the benefits. The sales team are insistent that exposing such detail is a bad thing for sales.
I know by posting in a community like Slashdot that I'm going to get a lot of support for my views, but I'm also interested in what people think about the viewpoint that such transparency could be bad thing.
An anonymous reader writes: In a blow to those working on open-source drivers, soft-mods for enhancing graphics cards, and the Chinese knock-offs of graphics cards, NVIDIA has begun signing and validating GPU firmware images. With the latest-generation Maxwell GPUs, not all engine functionality is being exposed unless the hardware detects the firmware image was signed by NVIDIA. This is a setback to the open-source Nouveau Linux graphics driver but they're working towards a solution where NVIDIA can provide signed, closed-source firmware images to the driver project for redistribution. Initially the lack of a signed firmware image will prevent some thermal-related bits from being programmed but with future hardware the list of requirements is expected to rise.
An anonymous reader writes "Open source operating systems vulnerable to the Shellshock bug have already pushed two patches to fix the vulnerability, but Apple has yet to issue one for Mac OS X. Ars Technica speculates that licensing issues may be giving Apple pause: "[T]he current [bash] version is released under the GNU Public License version 3 (GPLv3). Apple has avoided bundling GPLv3-licensed software because of its stricter license terms....Apple executives may feel they have to have their own developers make modifications to the bash code."" It's also worth noting that there are still flaws with the patches issued so far. Meanwhile, Fedora Magazine has published an easy-to-follow description of how Shellshock actually works. The Free Software Foundation has also issued a statement about Shellshock.
CowboyRobot writes: HTTPS has evolved into the de facto standard for secure Web browsing. Through the certificate-based authentication protocol, Web services and Internet users first authenticate one another ("shake hands") using a TLS/SSL certificate, encrypt Web communications end-to-end, and show a padlock in the browser to signal that a communication is secure. In recent years, HTTPS has become an essential technology to protect social, political, and economic activities online. At the same time, widely reported security incidents (such as DigiNotar's breach, Apple's #gotofail, and OpenSSL's Heartbleed) have exposed systemic security vulnerabilities of HTTPS to a global audience. The Edward Snowden revelations (notably around operation BULLRUN, MUSCULAR, and the lesser-known FLYING PIG program to query certificate metadata on a dragnet scale) have driven the point home that HTTPS is both a major target of government hacking and eavesdropping, as well as an effective measure against dragnet content surveillance when Internet traffic traverses global networks. HTTPS, in short, is an absolutely critical but fundamentally flawed cybersecurity technology.
blottsie writes: The National Security Agency has been making money on the side by licensing its technology to private businesses for more than two decades. It's called the Technology Transfer Program, under which the NSA declassifies some of its technologies that it developed for previous operations, patents them, and, if they're swayed by an American company's business plan and nondisclosure agreements, rents them out. The products include tools to transcribe voice recordings in any language, a foolproof method to tell if someone's touched your phone's SIM card, or a version of email encryption that isn't available on the open market.
aarondubrow writes "The National Science Foundation and the Semiconductor Research Corporation announced nine research awards to 10 universities totaling nearly $4 million under a joint program focused on secure, trustworthy, assured and resilient semiconductors and systems. The awards support the development of new strategies, methods and tools at the circuit, architecture and system levels, to decrease the likelihood of unintended behavior or access; increase resistance and resilience to tampering; and improve the ability to provide authentication throughout the supply chain and in the field. "The processes and tools used to design and manufacture semiconductors ensure that the resulting product does what it is supposed to do. However, a key question that must also be addressed is whether the product does anything else, such as behaving in ways that are unintended or malicious," said Keith Marzullo, division director of NSF's Computer and Network Systems Division.
Bismillah writes The Bash "Shellshock" bug is being used to spread malware to create a botnet, that's active and attacking Akamai and Department of Defense networks. "The 'wopbot' botnet is active and scanning the internet for vulnerable systems, including at the United States Department of Defence, chief executive of Italian security consultancy Tiger Security, Emanuele Gentili, told iTnews. 'We have found a botnet that runs on Linux servers, named "wopbot", that uses the Bash Shellshock bug to auto-infect other servers,' Gentili said."
An anonymous reader writes The FBI is concerned about moves by Apple and Google to include encryption on smartphones. "I like and believe very much that we should have to obtain a warrant from an independent judge to be able to take the contents," FBI Director James Comey told reporters. "What concerns me about this is companies marketing something expressly to allow people to place themselves beyond the law." From the article: "Comey cited child-kidnapping and terrorism cases as two examples of situations where quick access by authorities to information on cellphones can save lives. Comey did not cite specific past cases that would have been more difficult for the FBI to investigate under the new policies, which only involve physical access to a suspect's or victim's phone when the owner is unable or unwilling to unlock it for authorities."

Today, our Nation comes together to honor our veterans and commemorate the legacy of profound service and sacrifice they have upheld in pursuit of a more perfect Union. Through their steadfast defense of America's ideals, our service members have ensured our country still stands strong, our founding principles still shine, and nations around the world know the blessings of freedom. As we offer our sincere appreciation and respect to our veterans, to their families, to those who are still in harm's way, and to those we have laid to rest, let us rededicate ourselves to serving them as well as they have served the United States of America.
Our men and women in uniform are bearers of a proud military tradition that has been dutifully passed forward -- from generation to generation -- for more than two centuries. In times of war and peace alike, our veterans have served with courage and distinction in the face of tremendous adversity, demonstrating an unfaltering commitment to America and our people. Many have made the ultimate sacrifice to preserve the country they loved. The selflessness of our service members is unmatched, and they remind us that there are few things more fundamentally American than doing our utmost to make a difference in the lives of others.
Just as our veterans stood watch on freedom's frontier, so have they safeguarded the prosperity of our Nation in our neighborhoods, our businesses, and our homes. As teachers and engineers, doctors and parents, these patriots have made contributions to civilian life that serve as a testament to their dedication to the welfare of our country. We owe them a debt of honor, and it is our moral obligation to ensure they receive our support for as long as they live as proud veterans of the United States Armed Forces. This year, as our troops in Iraq complete their mission, we will honor them and all who serve by working tirelessly to give them the care, the benefits, and the opportunities they have earned.
On Veterans Day, we pay tribute to our veterans, to the fallen, and to their families. To honor their contributions to our Nation, let us strive with renewed determination to keep the promises we have made to all who have answered our country's call. As we fulfill our obligations to them, we keep faith with the patriots who have risked their lives to preserve our Union, and with the ideals of service and sacrifice upon which our Republic was founded.
With respect for and in recognition of the contributions our service members have made to the cause of peace and freedom around the world, the Congress has provided (5 U.S.C. 6103(a)) that November 11 of each year shall be set aside as a legal public holiday to honor our Nation's veterans.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim November 11, 2011, as Veterans Day. I encourage all Americans to recognize the valor and sacrifice of our veterans through appropriate public ceremonies and private prayers. I call upon Federal, State, and local officials to display the flag of the United States and to participate in patriotic activities in their communities. I call on all Americans, including civic and fraternal organizations, places of worship, schools, and communities to support this day with commemorative expressions and programs.

Hybrid CSS Dropdowns
110 Reader CommentsBack to the Article
And it is matter of judgement how many links are bearable and how many are just too much. What is the important bit of the web page? Its content or how many more are available in the whole site? Do we want to help the visitors to find what they came for or do we want to offer them everything at once?
I never claimed web sites should be like books and we should only have links to the next, last page and the sitemap I just compared offering all links on a page to printing the index of a catalogue on each page. We offer too many options where they are possibly wanted but not needed.
Nested navigations are an extra offer to avoid a page load and a drilldown in the navigation.
It is for us to ponder if they are worth it when they can be a bother to use for some.
The other visitors will see the whole navigation at once, which can be far too much information.
The logical step would be to only offer the extra information to those who want it and not assume that everybody does benefit from it.
Who are these "high end users, with CSS enabled" you speak of Chris?
What you're suggesting (adding sub-nav dynamically) seems to be putting far too much reliance on client-side scripting when your end result is something that 90% of the visiting population (or so) can take advantage of.
Couldn't I just as easily put a link right in the top of my document which when clicked will load my site, but without the sub-nav? Or (as I tried to explain earlier), just add another stylesheet that hides the sub-nav from all?
I don't know, seems like a draw I guess. We could probably argue the advantages/disadvantages of each method to no end.
I had this kind of menu going for a long time at my company. I eventually changed it to be a traditional drop-down. While the hybrid here does give great clues to navigation, there are also a few major drawbacks that take away more than they add in my opinion.
The worst problem is the mouse space. When you want to change a section, you mouse over it, move down, then move across to the item you want on a thin line, being careful not to go outside the line. If you lose the line, you have to go back and start all over. Traditional drop-downs don't make you change direction while navigating, you just drop right down to your item. Plus there is lots more room horizontally with normal drop-downs than vertically with hybrids because you're not trying to stay within just one line. This makes navigation MUCH easier and not so much an exercise in mouse accuracy.
Next is that since it is horizontal, there is a limited quantity of submenu items that can be put on it without rolling over to the next line. Usually these kind of things are kept on one so you don't get blank space from one carry-over and because it's more difficult to tell that these are sub-items when they're in a big jumble. So the one line limits you.
Also with the one line, if your right-most tab only has one or two sub-items, you run into problems. You can't position the list all the way to the left because it will look like the sub-items are part of some other tab or no tab at all. (unless you use a high-contrast tab structure like the example) You also can't position the left-most sub-item with the left of the selected main item because it will quickly run off the right side of the page. And it becomes a bit tricky to align the main and sub-items to the right, plus it messes up the first item.
Last is the obvious two-level limit in navigation. This limits both ways. If you want to have a menu item with no sub-items then you'll have to have a blank line or it will jump down when you roll over another item. This looks weird to have a blank line because you wonder why it's there. On the other hand, you can't go more than two deep. Otherwise you'd have to either do traditional drop-downs afterward (weird) or continue the lines down and down (even weirder) or lay the lines across the whole page over top of the current page as you dig deeper and deeper. (which hides the page)
As you can see, all these things eventually added up to the return of traditional drop-downs.
That is why my stance is to make it available to them but not force it on the others.
Let's check the facts.
– All levels of navigation on each page are not a need, they are a shortcut – a "nice to have".
– Users without either JS or CSS or both will get a lot of links they don't need.
– We cannot rely on Javascript being available (it is not in high security areas like financial institutions for example), but we can test if it is available.
– We cannot rely on CSS to get rid of the unnecessary links as visual hiding is not removing them from the document.
Therefore the most usable and unobtrusive way is to:
- Give the visitor the bare minimum of navigation and an option to have an "extended navigation" – an option that can be stored in a profile or a cookie for the next visit.
Or if that is an unwanted step:
- Give the visitor the bare minimum and expand it only when JavaScript is available.
The latter option would mean no difference in the site experience, but is more flexible.
It is the same logic we applied when we moved screen furniture from image elements to the CSS.
i use a div like someone else wrote that will position my whole site. Now the navigation will work in Firefox but in IE6 it will not allow me time to select a subnav. The thing has to do with position:absolute but is there a way to fix this problem? i really need this… cause 12 hours of transparancy in IE hack and now this i cant handle this anymore:S
well ill hear… maybe
Before everyone praises this approach it should be clear that such menus imply more or less severe usability problems especially for elderly users or users with motor problems.
Personally and apart from this, I liked some ideas presented in the article.
Hybrid CSS Dropdowns… loox really bad in Safaribrowser.. Pity… GREAT STUFF though!
>loox really bad in Safaribrowser..
Loox really good in 3 versions of Safaribrowser ALA tested it in or ALA not have pubbblished it.
This is an interesting read. I only wish it had been published earlier – a client of mine was after something similar with their site!
Looks good in "standard/default" mode but when
I ctrl+ in Firefox 1.0.2 to increase the font
size, only the sec-nav change, the tabs don't.
( Same for ctrlto shrink the font.
After 4 ctrl+ the sec-nav starts to wrap and
the bottom half of the words are cropped. :-(
All I get is the image, without the menu. It works in Navigator for the Mac….
Why doesn't anyone use the function getElementsByTagName()?
It's much more elegant than using a for loop to iterate through each of an element's children to find all of one type of tag.
Does anyone actually USE that browser any more? As in, anyone who matters?
I'm a firm believer in discarding broken or out of date browsers from my support roster, since most users of Netscape 4.x and IE Mac will be pretty much used to dealing with pages that break on their browsers anyway.
I was looking for a way to make pulldown menus without browser detection, because clean xhtml/css was supposed to get rid of browser detection scripts. Of course IE not supporting the hover function for anything besides 'A' makes this hard, but I keep hoping for a different solution.
when i view the menu in the opera, the last menu item jiggles 'n wiggels!?
I tried to view this on IE 5.1 for Mac and it doesn't work. Should it work?
I did one, but i guess that this version showed have a little trick
check this one…
i built using some advices from a list apart.
Check this out…
I've noticed the IE6 offset issue as well. I made a menu and once I check it with IE6, I had the same problem as the example at the end of this tutorial. Is there a fix for this IE6 bug? It's kind of frustrating spending the time to follow a tutorial and then realizing that it won't work in IE…
Just an FYI—
using Safari 1.0.3(v85.8.1) [via 10.2.8, Old School I know…] having a couple issues:
- am seeing each main menu name, below the related submenu items, indented, half line below (obscurring submenu text).
- Under the Modern tab (orange), the hover of submenu items displays the main menu background (blue bg with clipped-corner) in the submenu, and changes the text color to orange (instead of blue).
- Rolling between main tabs is inconsistent. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Something strange is afoot at the Circle-K
another FYI—
On my system, the submenu at arkitrave.com does not work totally either.
Submenu is always stacked on left edge below Home tab. And not clickable, as it disappears when I come off the tabs.
Not a CSS-guru by any means—just here to learn. I don't think my Safari config is altered beyond stock.
But maybe it is just my system…
I built the site well over a year ago, and the dropdowns have nothing to do with this article. They work like a charm in everything except Safari, and I've never figured out whether it's my bad coding or Safari that causes them to break in Safari. I am aware of the problem. Know that it is a different set of code, as the current article works fine in the Safari that I tested in. I'm not sure what the problem is for the older version in 10.2.8.
Maybe I will go back to JavaScript rollovers :)
No, seriously, thanks for all the observations from different versions; it is impossible to test for all of these browsers and OSs. I do pretty well with my local PC/Mac Intranet and 9 or so browsers, but it's all under Win2K or OS10.3.
I have on my list to fix the indentation problem in IE6 – I don't yet know what's causing that and I'll post something to my site when I figure it out. That said, don't hold your collective breath, as I've got a busy spring coming up.
Excelente artículo … justo lo que buscaba
Hi Eric—Sorry to divert focus to your site… given it's different code and older. (should have read every response prior to mentioning it)
Thanks for an outstanding article!! Was not trying to be a pain-in-the-rear… only trying to explain the issue with 10.2.8 specifically.
popartpopeye mentioned on page 7 (in not a very helpful way) that his Safari wasn't working properly. If he was having the same issues as I—thought you could use some more info about specifics.
Keep up the great work though!
I've implemented the menu on an elastic site with two main problems. 1) (I think everyone has already discovered) My main-level links wrap, but they are then hidden by the "on" sub-nav that is positioned directly below line 1 of the main-nav. Any way around this? (he asks, expecting silence).
And 2). Because the site is elastic, the sub-nav width needs to be set to 100%. But in IE, when the width is set to 100%, the sub-nav li's all appear one vertically on top of the other. The only way to render them horizontally is to specify the width of the ul in either em's or px's. Anyone know of a way around this?
NOTE: The implementation is located at the linked site (which is hosted on my computer and may or may not be online). The site is essentially a personal experiment in xml from start to finish. Pay no mind to the content. ;-)
Looking at the final menus in Firefox and IE6 side-by-side reveals that they don't quite display the same. For example, in Firefox, the header image and menus are flush left. However, in Opera and IE6, this is on a Linux system, the menus start with a space between the left side of the browser window and the edge of the menu instead of flush with the leftside browser window as is the case with Firefox. Is there a way to compensate for this behavior without trashing the display in Firefox? The more I learn about web development the more I loathe Microsoft and IE.
Someone know a menu like this?
Option1 | Option2 | Option3
option2.4 >option2.3.2
The current no have option2.3.1
In my opinion, CSS has not yet reached a stage where it can gracefully handle complex behavior like nested drop-down menus.
This is most evident in the example if you hover over the right-most parent ("Digital") and then quickly move to the left-most child ("Xenakis"). If you can do this quickly without losing the "Digital" menu items, then you're more dextrous than the vast majority of mouse-users.
The CSS :hover pseudo-class simply has no tolerance on most browsers for any accidental mouse jittering. It would be nice if it could be specified with a given timeout, for example "ul:hover(5)", but alas, that is not available – and perhaps it shouldn't be. The purpose of this pseudo-class is to simply highlight an item when it is clickable, not to provide complicated behavioral scripting capabilities. CSS is a brilliant language for style, but every "CSS Behavior" hack that I see just seems to be a stretch for no purpose other than showing off what is possible.
(Granted, that's a fine purpose and something that should be done in the name of innovation, but it's not a good methodology for creating accessible and profitable websites!)
A javascript solution, otoh, can easily be created that will use exactly the same degradible XHTML and similar CSS styling. In this way, you can allow your users to hover or click a parent, and don't change it until they hover/click another parent. This is the default application behavior that most users are used to, and it is more forgiving of often imperfect mouse movements.
Doesn't degrade either. All you see is the top photo.
who knows.
It seems I am having problems not with flash
but with multiple lines of drop downs.
drop down1 drop down2 drop down 3
drop down4 drop down5 drop down 6
the list hides behind the <ul> heading below it. is this just a z-index or how the flop am
I supposed to get it to work. any ideas??
its based on pixles, but even worse it cannot be zoomed. Thats just crap, nothing else.
Dropdownmenus in general are a problem, better use asyncronic server connections (ajax) and refresh menus statically, if you mess around with javascript anyway.
Sorry, but this menu isn't working on IE 5.2 Mac. It is working in Safari.
What if your menu is centered on a page? How the heck are you supposed to position the sub-navs since this example is crippled by using actual pixels?
"This technique is a bulletproof way to ensure browser compatibility and to maintain usability".
I believe the above sentance should be removed from the article; because IMHO this solution has serious issues:
– poor browser support,
– text is not scalable,
– list items are not accessible in IE when JS is disabled,
– and, AFAIK, tabbing navigation is not possible in any browser.
Months ago, I have published a solution, trying to address each problem:
I belive my own take on a pure css menu have better usability than this one. No javascript, just css (except for the virtual pagechange, just for the demo) Take a look at:
As a student I apreciate very much. Send more, please.
I tried this and it works very well except the subnavi which disappers immediately when I move the cursor away from a tab. So I can't access the subnavi at all! Do you have a solution for this? Thanks!
I'm still searching for a CSS solution that is compatible accross all (most) OS platforms and browsers. I liked the look of your menu, but when I tried it on OS-X and IE, I get no menus at all!
Mac OS 10.3.9 (Apple's most current), and Internet Explorer for Rel. 5.2.3 (MS's most current and final version)
Anyone else have this problem?
The example at http://www.alistapart.com/d/hybrid/hybrid-4.html doesn't look good after I increased text size in Firefox (Ctrl++) several times.
Your menu behaves badly in Firefox when I increase text size (Ctrl++). Menu items disappear, extraneous lines appear, etc..
Hi Roman,
Re: my menu (http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/dropdown/demo.asp)
AFAIK, it is possible to use "Ctrl+" three times in FireFox without breaking the layout; this corresponds to more than the "largest" text-size in MSIE.
In any case, I believe it is much better than what the "Hybrid CSS Dropdowns" menu allows ;-)
Probably one of the best css solutions I have seen yet. I love ALA!
The problem with CSS menus is that navigation is very important and problems with like the flashing effect, cross-browser issues, etc. make it less than ideal.
Another problem I have with CSS only menus is that it tries to do behaviour in CSS for which CSS was not designed. CSS should IMO be presentation only.
Also with XHTML markup, CSS styled but Javascript powered navigation you can do some eye candy like the menus I did for my MXR CMS product. see http://mxdemo.infireal.com/ (P.S: the markup is terrible, its on the todo list)
The menu does a roll-up and fade out effect.
I'm having a problem implementing a list in FireFox. When I added the style info into my stylesheet, all of a sudden FireFox stopped recognizing all of the stylesheet from that point down. I can't figure out what's causing this problem. IE can still parse the entire stylesheet, displaying the list properly. (The list is taken from the ALA 2002 article Taming Lists by the way.)
Any suggestions? Thanks!
I was just checking out the linked examples and they look fine in Safari, but totally not working in Explorer??
Sorry for a little off-topic, but I'm struggling with one thing, which maybe you know how to solve
I want a very simple horizontal menu, based on list
I've done it, but I wanted it to have a custom bullet, so I used list-style: url(/image.gif); in the ul style declaration
it appeared ok in mozilla, but there is NO image neither in opera nor IE.
well, if I change the image to just 'circle' or 'square' it does not appear in those browsers anyway
Is it possible to to have bullets (custom too) in horizontal menu based on ul ?
it's easy to make it in vertical on, but I have not found any example of such menu turned to horizontal…
I am in the process of setting this up and I can't get it to center on the page like the rest of my page does. I have a container div around my whole page with margin-left and margin-right set to auto, but the secondary nav is always left aligned. Anyone know a remedy?
I like this example… :) what is to say..
I was working several mothes ago on a similar NAV on a client site http://www.cfatb.com/ using extensively the sluckerfish inspiration.
I enhanced it to fit our requisites and it seems that it works good on many major browsers. Of course the CSS is free to use as well as the HTML code itself. I think I made some mistakes but it works pretty well.

I am trying to create a named viewport in paperspace and have to off selected layer only in selected view port. I Know to do this manually, but i don't get any idea for doing this using .net.
Thanks in advance for any valuable help.....
Thats working............... Is there any way to hide only the selected object in one view port with out hiding the whole layer.
There is a visibility property for the object, but It object specific and not view specific. So it would turn off in all the views.
IF the not-to-show-object viewport is of different scale than other to-show-object viewports, make the bespoke object annonative and assign it the to-show-object viewports' scales

Mammals vary in size from the 100-foot-long blue whale to the two-gram bumblebee bat, one of the world's most endangered species. Most mammals measure less than one foot (including the head and body). That makes small mammals far more common, if less well known, than large mammals like elephants, tigers, and people.
Small mammals cut across categories. Most species are rodents (such as the naked mole-rat), insectivores, and bats, but there are also carnivores (such as slender-tailed meerkats), and primates (such as golden lion tamarins and lemurs).

The animal(s) in this enclosure may have moved out of view.
Watching a black-footed ferret:
You are viewing a black-footed ferret nest box at the Zoo's Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, Virginia, where ferrets are bred to be saved from extinction. This female ferret, Vicki was born at SCBI last year and had six kits on June 1. (Rosebud, the female on the cam previously, has been determined not to be pregnant.)
Family members of this species greet with what looks like a kiss. They're not really kissing, but gently touching their front teeth together. What animals recognize each other this way?
For more than 30 years, this program has been saving these small monkeys through conservation breeding and reintroduction to their natural habitat in Brazil. Thanks to the success of the program, the status of GLTs was downgraded from "critically endangered" to "endangered" by the World Conservation Union (IUCN) in 2003. more

NCI Budget Outlook for 2004
The National Cancer Institute's (NCI) funding has increased by 80 percent since 1998, while the budget for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has doubled. This historic resource growth permitted a re-energizing of the entire biomedical research enterprise in unprecedented ways. The unprecedented growth in biomedical research provides an opportunity for exponential progress. This has allowed the director of NCI to issue a challenge: eliminate the suffering and death due to cancer by 2015. But as NCI continues its operations into fiscal year 2004, it does so without a clear picture of what resources will be available.
Presently, NCI and all of NIH operate under a continuing resolution (CR) that expires January 31, 2004. Congress included appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services in an omnibus spending bill, which the House approved. The Senate is expected to vote on it January 20, 2004. (See Legislative Update.) If the omnibus bill is not enacted, NCI may work under the CR further into 2004.
The CR provides NCI $4.592 billion, the same level as in 2003. The omnibus bill, if enacted, would include the level requested by the president, which is $4.771 billion, or a 3.9 percent increase of $178 million. However, the bill includes two rescissions that would reduce the $178 million increase to approximately $150 million.
NCI must make challenging funding decisions - some interim - to maintain operations and issue grant and contract awards. In the research project grant arena, the non-competing commitments from prior competing awards necessitate an increase of more than 8 percent, or $113 million. NCI remains committed to fund these increases whether the final budget is at the flat CR or the omnibus bill level. This has a direct affect on our ability to fund competing awards. Therefore, interim grant pay-lines and funding levels for all NCI programs are being developed that will permit it to conduct its business until the picture clarifies.
Future indications are that NIH and NCI may not see the significant growth of the last five years continue. Hence, NCI must intensify its review of program portfolios to identify funds that can be re-deployed and to assure the research community that the discovery engine is maintained and discovery translation continues to move. The pace of scientific discovery in cancer has never been more exciting and, correspondingly, NCI has seen an increase in grant applications. More applications with exciting scientific proposals are coming forward just at a time when large increases to the NCI bottom line are unlikely.
Later this month, NCI will convene a retreat of the members of NCI's National Cancer Advisory Board, the Board of Scientific Counselors and the Board of Scientific Advisors to review various funding scenarios and to discuss future program funding in an effort to determine how best to apply NCI's resources so that the institute may achieve its 2015 goal.

Herzing Season of Caring
Inspired by the P.R.I.C.E. of Success and the spirit of giving thanks, the Herzing University – Online campus is encouraging the members of the Herzing community to take time and serve their communities between Friday, November 15 and December 15, 2013.
Members of the Herzing community can record their service and donations here, and we'll compile them to show our overall impact. View our progress by visiting our Facebook page where we'll be updating our service map and sharing photos! You can also search hashtag #HerzingCares for pictures of the Herzing community in action.
Herzing has developed a framework of behaviors and attributes that supports a successful and meaningful career and education. This framework is called the "P.R.I.C.E. of Success". In order to help each student develop and expand upon these qualities, Herzing has created a culture where students are expected to exhibit their behaviors and attributes in all interaction – in and outside the University. Herzing believes students who apply themselves and embody the P.R.I.C.E. characteristics will reach their full human potential for success.

Pectus Excavatum & Pectus Carinatum
Both "excavatum" and "carinatum" describe deformities of the cartilage of the sternum or Breastbone. Pectus Excavatum ("funnel" or "sunken" chest) is characterized by depression of the sternum. Pectus Carinatum ("pigeon" chest) is characterized by a raised sternum that resembles the keel of a boat.
These defects occur in approximately 4 people in every 1000 and are seemingly more common in men. Often the anomaly will not be noticeable until the child begins to rapidly grow. These anomalies are thought to be caused by poorly coordinated and possibly excessive growth of the cartilage between the rib and sternum.
Much research has been done to determine if these anomalies are associated with heart or lung impairment. Families having a child with a pectus anomaly are encouraged to make an appointment and discuss the most appropriate treatment option, which may include bracing or a minimally invasive repair, for their child.

I read this book a few years ago but I recently listened to it and it's vastly more entertaining as an audiobook. Nora Ephron reads her own words and she is droll, disarming and often hilarious.

Fable 3 Delayed on PCThe PC edition of Lionhead's RPG sequel Fable 3 will no longer launch alongside the Xbox 360 version as it's been delayed for an unspecified length of time, IGN reports.
"The console and PC versions are now on different schedules as we're focusing on building experiences optimized for each platform," publisher Microsoft explained. "We aren't announcing a ship date for the PC sku at this time, but expect news soon."
When confirmed in late May, the PC edition of Fable 3 was scheduled to release simultaneously with the Xbox 360 version on October 26. While the Xbox 360 launch is still going ahead as planned, PC gamers are left hanging for now.

Stargazer. This was a composition exercise I started many months back, however I've been super busy and didn't get around to putting the finishing touches on it until now!
I was reading the wonderful Creative Illustration by Andrew Loomis (out of print, but free pdfs available online) and he has a great section about informal subdivision as a compositional tool. Informal subdivision is a process Loomis created where you divide your image space unequally (and somewhat randomly!) by drawing a series of horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines, following some certain rules. Then you use those lines to suggest a composition for whatever subject you're drawing.
You can see the subdivision I created above & overlaid with the final. Instructions on how to do this & further process are on my blog! Try your own!

Oilers at Red Wings, G3/07-08
This is Eddie Joyal. He is in the uniform of the old Edmonton Flyers, a team with a rich hockey history. Actually, Joyal played for the Oil Kings, Flyers and the Oilers in his long and successful career.
I remember him best though as a Los Angeles King. Funny how the mind settles on something, isn't it? Joyal was best known as a very good offensive player who rarely took a penalty. In that way he was from the Val Fonteyne family, except of course he was a better player than Val Fonteyne.
Joyal came from St. Albert. Career highlights would include scoring a massive goal in the 1964 SCF (the Wings would lose though, to Toronto) and ripping 33 goals for LA in 68-69.
He was part of one of the biggest trades in NHL history (Traded to Philadelphia by Los Angeles with Bill Flett, Jean Potvin and Ross Lonsberry for Bill Lesuk, Jim Johnson and Serge Bernier, January 28, 1972) in a deal that gave the Flyers two of their SC wingers in Lonsberry and Flett.
Joyal is the third former WHA Oiler I've used in a GDT, hopefully he'll bring as much good fortune as Messier and Rusty Patenaude.
As for today, I think this is a pretty important game to watch. In the first two games, we got to see some things that might become home game trends.
- Lots of icetime for the kids against the soft parade
- Hard match by the Horcoff line against tough opponents
- Souray-Greene matched up against tougher than expected opponents
- Pitkanen-Staios getting easier than expected opponents
- Staios not being used as often as thought on PK
- MacT relying heavily on the Reasoner line
- MacT going with the hot hand more than I recall in the past
- MacT rolling three lines more heavily than I recall in the most recent past
Things can change on the road, and I suspect we'll see lots of wrinkles. Among the things I'll be watching for are monstrous amounts of icetime for the Horcoff line, the Reasoner line, the Staios tandem and for Tarnstrom-Gilbert to roll out more often against the second toughest opposition in order to shelter the Souray-Greene pairing. I also will be looking to see if that Stoll-Torres-Nilsson line can put up some points and if not how they'll tear it down. One suspects that if Gagner struggles early he may see the ice for less than 10 minutes.
The "big gulp" is the blueline. They are less predictable than they were in the "let's all rip the filthy black thing around the rw so Joff can muscle it out that shoud work" 06-07 season but that Souray-Greene tandem is going to be up against Zetterberg for more than a shift tonight and that's a matchup that must scare everybody.
Looking forward to seeing how the kids do tonight. If Gagner is going to stay all year and if Cogliano is going to be a legit Calder candidate, they need to be successful on the road and in situations where the coach can't protect them like he can in a home game.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - A man has been convicted of killing an Arizona imam over his religious teachings more than two decades ago.
Pima County prosecutors say 52-year-old Glen Francis was found guilty Wednesday of first-degree murder in the January 1990 death of Dr. Rashad Khalifa.
Francis faces up to life in prison when he's sentenced Jan. 28.
He was accused of stabbing the 54-year-old Khalifa nearly 30 times at the Masjid of Tucson.
Francis wasn't arrested in the case until April 2009 when he was located in Canada living under an assumed name. A Canadian court didn't clear him for extradition until 2010.
Tucson police say Francis was named a suspect after the FBI matched his fingerprints and DNA to the victim.

The Xperia Z1S is the most impressive smartphone Sony has ever sold on any carrier, but an inferior screen makes Samsung's Galaxy handsets better deals.
The $150 Slingbox M1 brings TV streaming to nearly any mobile device, PC, or Mac, now with the convenience of built-in Wi-Fi.
Sony's flagship Xperia Z1 packs a Full HD display, a quad-core processor, and a whopping 20.7-megapixel camera into a waterproof body and wraps it in an aluminium frame.
The Hisense Pulse Pro runs "Android TV" software and sports a refreshed user interface and an impressive remote.
If you can stand its speakers, Sony's XBR-X900B will reward you with the best combination of audio and video quality you've ever seen (or heard).
The Vizio S2121w-D0 Sound Stand is cheap but not a good value, with quality that pales against the competition -- including Vizio's own sound bars.
