They are just shelving it, not putting it to sleep. We still need to convince them that that "educating" us is stupid. We need to put this issue to rest. Continue to send emails and sign petitions, and join a boycott.

D is a perfect option. Users can just NOT pay for it and go to a competitor.

For all you PHP folks out there, GAE + Java + Quercus means PHP is now on Google App Engine: http://weirdhenge.appspot.com/test.php ... once you have Java on a platform a whole world of tools just opens up!

Yeah, when I first read this article I thought that was the dumbest thing I'd ever heard, but reading it made alot of sense. It's basically just using a simple schema like the "slacker" DBs for canonical storage, and then using additional tables as 'indexes.'

How FriendFeed uses MySQL to store schema-less data

Given their needs in terms of adding features, altering the schema, and building indexes, being able to make the indexes "eventually consistent" was huge. You have to remember that to keep things nice and denormalized, you need lots of tables, joins, and that MySQL (or any other FOSS RDMS) CANNOT build indexes across tables.

• How about blacklisting of domains for Quirks mode? google.com is blacklisted - how about your domain?

ie8blacklist.appspot.com put an API online to check whether a domain is on the list.

No worries for the hordes of IE8 fans around here, Slashdot.org is not on the list. I knew it, I knew it, Slashdot is getting Microsoft friendly.

Well, as far as emailing pictures, as long as they are small.. how about encoding them in ASCII art? I believe this was recently posted on /.

This won't get you more internet access, but here is a site that lets you embed files in ASCII art. You could send the ASCII art as text in the e-mails and your family could "decrypt" them on the other end. You might be able to grab their code somehow and use it offline so you don't burn your internet minutes uploading files to it.

I was at McMurdo 95-96, for 13 months ( Winfly, Summer, Winter, Summer). Yeah, I agree that summer is not that hard. More like: its great. The mating scenarios there are called ice-marriages, ice-wives, ice-husbands. Thats the enduring ones. Then there are the thousands of serial relationship hook-ups. Some got through the winter by logging amazing amounts of hours in bed (WITH SOMEONE ELSE!!). Then there was the whole girls-nude-in-suana-looking-for-a-hookup, thing. Ahem, and a lot of the guys and girls are geeks. My own account is written here: http://lanceville-antarctica.appspot.com/?page=antarctica-alaska As I recall, Christmas at McMurdo was a lot of fun, plenty of people, parties, and the weather is usually great.

Well, in a lot of ways, SVG and all, the canvas tag, other DOM tricks let you do vector graphics already. Launched a web app the other day on app engine that queues up vectors fairly quickly for you... skibble is your multiuser napkin!

However, the free 500MB worth of storage is really attrative for anyone who wants to try a few things out online.
