One of my inexplicably faithful readers (okay, okay, it's Rouslan) informs me that he regularly gets runtime error dialogs when accessing my pages.

Anyone else? If so, please let me know what combination of OS and browser you're using. If you get a line number in your error report, that'd help too.

Thanks!

[update: Thanks to Jeff's comment, I went and changed my templates and re-upped the whole site. Could y'all make sure you do a super-refresh and check to see if you have the same problem? Many thanks...]

A number of consumer advocates and industry experts said that they were skeptical about whether the Forgent patent could be properly applied to the JPEG standard as well as whether the patent should have been properly issued in the first place.

"I view this as a disaster if it holds up," said Mark Nelson, an independent expert on compression technology who is the co-author of "The Data Compression Handbook" (M&T Books, 1995). 2:25:23 AM    please comment []
