( continues...) according to a description at [link] this is the "discussion list is for the distribution of AIDS statistics from various agencies", mainly the Center for Disease Control's monthly AIDS Surveillance Report act-up-request@world.std.com -- the mailing list of AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power eagles-request@flash.usc.edu -- described as a "discussion list for scouts, scout-masters, and former scouts who identify as gay, lesbian, or bisexual" noglstp-request@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov -- the mailing list of the "National Organization of Gay and Lesbian Scientists and Technical Professionals", whose web site describes the group as an organization opposing discrimination and stereotyping in the sciences "Keys to the Kingdom" also reported that Net Nanny blocked all mailing lists run by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Said the authors of the article, "Guess those computer geeks talk blue when they're not pumping out C code."

NetNanny blocks access to any sites on its blacklist

· It blocks pages containing over four words that are on NetNanny’s list of objectionable words.

· It masks objectionable words on web sites, IRC chat rooms, news groups and plain text emails, replacing letters with ####.

Hmm. I'm pretty sure it's not a keyword thing -- most of the page blocked is names. And honestly, as much as I'd giggle to think I'd made their radar -- puh-lease.

Weird.

Mythical Motorola/Apple iPod phone maybe will happen for real: [link]

"The Always With You mobile handsets will be able to carry about a dozen iTunes songs downloaded from a PC or Macintosh starting in the first half of next year."

That's like the dark ages of CDs.

CSS is eating my brain. I have styled my links thusly:

a { color : #000000; background-color : transparent; text-decoration : none; }
a:link, a:visited { border-bottom : 1px dotted #000000; }

All the text looks just fine. But I have a picture that is a link, that's in a div styled thusly:

#picture { border: none; }

Whis is in a div styled thusly:

#pictureblock {
text-align:center;
margin:0px auto;
border-width: thin;
border-style: groove;
border-color: black;
}

I'd hoped the border:none would get rid of the underline, but not. My hierarchy seems off. I want to accomplish this change in the CSS, not in the HTML, since I'm sharing the HTML. What am I missing?

ReplayTV 40-hour DVRs from $40 (updated)** - 9:59 am

http://dealnews.com/newsdaily.html?article,77315

Digital Networks' ReplayTV Outlet Store has the factory-refurbished ReplayTV RTV5504 40-hour Digital Video Recorder for $99.99. A $10 off coupon code ("PW55A4N") and $50 mail-in rebate combine to yield a net price of $39.99. Shipping is free. It's the lowest total price we've seen, although Amazon.com has the same unit, new and factory-sealed, for $104.99 shipped before the rebate, $54.99 after. Offer ends December 31. Update: Amazon.com cut its price the new ReplayTV RTV5504 40-hour to $99.99 before a $50 mail-in rebate, $49.99 after, with free shipping. Also of note, TiVo's competing model costs the same after rebate.

ita, try adding

a#picture { border:none; }

So...Apple sues to stop product leaks.

That doesn't work, amych. I also tried

a.picture:link { border-style : none}

and

a:link#picture { border-style : none}

and

a#picture:link { border-style : none}

and

a:link.picture { border-style : none}

and even

a.picture { border-style : none}

While I was at it, but nothing. Still bordered.

You're right. That's what I get for suggesting off the top of my head.

Try

#picture a { border: none; }

Which works in Firefox/Win2K. Haven't played with it in any other browsers.
