Comment on CSS is crap! by paul

No, thank you. Because of your article I was able to force the styles I wanted onto the elements on my page without resorting to an "important!" tag. I trumped the existing element + class selector combo with an ID selector. Worked like a charm.

I'm glad you found my article helpful Paul. I'll disagree about css being crap, but I do understand why it causes confusion at times. I promise the more you use it, the easier it becomes to work with it.

For some reason (don't know why, and don't care) apachectl restart doesn't work successfully. It SAYS it works, but none of the hosts answer. Rebooting the machine works after that. I gotta replace this old Linux box…

And now Vista doesn't respond to this trick, either. I wish they would fix it. It's very annoying!

Windows 7 suffers from the same fault, but it also appears to be immune to the fix. I guess I'll have to wait for the release version to actually complain about it, though.

Comment on Add Eject Menu to Mac Menu Bar by tuque

As a side note, it seems that Leopard has added the eject button to the menu bar by default. And the CD/DVD on iMacs is called SuperDrive.
