Glide File Sharing Service Debuts 226
Dotnaught writes "Glide Effortless has gone live. New York Times columnist David Pogue describes it as "full-blown online operating system" that's a mix of genius and interface awkwardness. (Glide has been covered previously on Slashdot.) Pogue concludes "Glide's core idea is unassailably fresh and useful. If TransMedia's plans for world domination fall into place, maybe it won't need an elevator pitch. Maybe 'You gotta try this' will be the only pitch it needs.""

Windows takes a naive approach with a global DPI setting, but if you make sure that that setting is correct then compliant software will render fonts the right size. Most Linux GUIs actually poll the monitor for the proper measurements so they get it right automagically, but some environments and individual programs (like GIMP and Inkscape) let you do exact calibration via a 'Measure this line. How many inches long is it?' dialog. When I open a 4x6 photo in GIMP it displays exactly 4"x6". When I draw 36pt text it is exactly 1/2" tall. If you suffer from shrinking fonts, get better software.

someone else steals your number. If you actually purchase something at that one time,
it will process on your real account. If not, like in this case, it just verifys you
have an account, and are + 18 years old.

Materials provided to TransMedia or Posted at any TransMedia Web Site
TransMedia does not claim ownership of the materials you provide to TransMedia (including feedback and suggestions) or post, upload, input or submit to any Services or its associated services for review by the general public, or by the members of any public or private community, (each a "Submission" and collectively "Submissions"). However, by posting, uploading, inputting, providing or submitting ("Posting") your Submission you are granting TransMedia, its affiliated companies and necessary sublicensees permission to use your Submission in connection with the operation of their Internet businesses (including, without limitation, all TransMedia Services), including, without limitation, the license rights to: copy, distribute, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform, reproduce, edit, translate and reformat your Submission; to publish your name in connection with your Submission; and the right to sublicense such rights to any supplier of the Services....
What this basically means is that you're giving them management rights to whatever you're posting on their service. So if you're a starving artist and you store your next hit song on their service, they have the right to copy, distribute, transmit etc. that song, or just sublicense it to someone else.
This is wrong. They are basically asking for you to give up all the rights without any compensation for it just by using the service. I definitively won't be using this service.

As another poster pointed out, your mastercard doesn't start with a 5, which they all do. Also, if you meant visa, you don't have the right number of digits.

It's pretty clever, they just divide up the article text and show/hide it with style settings. If you do View->Page Style->No Style (in firefox) you see the raw page layout (including the full article text), everything else, like positioning the main article and everything, is CSS.
