  1. Raising What Bar? by Sloth503 · · Score: 0, Troll

    This really rose the bar? I don't see how.

    OK, this is cool. From Microsoft, you say?

    As someone whose been burned^Wjaded^Wexposed to Microsoft innovations before, I have to ask the following:

    1. How secure is this? IOW, does it rely on anything at all other than JavaScript on the client side, or does it hook into the OS on some level? If it does, how well is it isolated from the more dangerous bits in the OS?

    2. If it does require anything other than JS - even if it does only require JS - is it Windows only, or have our good friends at Microsoft realised why a goodly portion of the tech community is, ummm, hesitant to accept thier 'vision' of what computing should be?

    If XmlHttpRequest (Capitalised as it is, one could tell right away that it was spawned in Redmond) is all that and a bag of chips, how do us non=MS type enjoy it?

    Michael, you just can't live with the fact that you democrats lost another election can you? You have to try to slam, poke fun, etc at Bush every chance you get. Whats funny is that you lost by a larger margin this time.

    Its so funny to me, you losers (you in particular) posted story after story for your democratic party or should I say against Bush. AND YOU STILL GOT OWNT.

    Oh and FYI, here ARE internets and there has been for about half the life of what YOU call the internet.

    Anyone else sick of losers like him posting stupid shit to get the slashdot crowd going? Mod me up.
