Let's say that suddenly Coke was restricted from having sugar put into it by the government. What are the alternatives? Well, maybe premixing corn syrup...nutrisweet...or selling packets of sugar separately. Most stores would have enough common sense to include SOMETHING so you don't have to go without. The "how would I get a web browser if I don't have a web browser!?!" argument is moot. I personally would put all three in...as that would be sweet indeed.
Gentoo currently defaults to mono being off if you don't specify a use flag for it. But I suppose I started off outside of the scope of your argement anyway...
Would this be compairable to putting DRM on porn to keep youngsters out of places they shouldn't be? I mean, both acts of restriction would be based off of social beliefs and ethics. The only difference is what they are doing is a lot more elaborite.
Actually...um..yeah. You hit the nail on the head. I have been thinking that for the last four days since I had lost the charger to my leg. The damn thing is in safety mode making it a pain in the ass to walk. *Sigh* It makes me miss my old non-robo leg that used plan old hydrolics instead of the DYNAMIC hydrolics of this one. If I look around I should be able to find the cigarette-car-lighter plug in. But unfortunately I haven't seen it in a year.
I find it a bit funky how my doctor did the initial setup of my knee using bluetooth. I would like to try hacking it someday, but I would need to get some password breaking software together. I hope to figure out how I can attach a speaker to it so it makes cool robotic sounds when I walk. Or maybe have it say random pre-recorded comments like, "hey baby!" Another cool idea is make it do a symbol/bass drum tap as I walk. Then have it speed up/slow down the tempo with my gate. Oh the possibilities!!!!!
It was odd with Mozilla. The developers had a fixation with making Mozilla look exactly like Netscape Communicator. No one was allowed to try to improve the interface at all in the classic theme. It was one of the most extreme cases of shortsightedness I had ever seen...at the time, most users were verbal about wanting a more native looking theme. Modern did not fit that bill either.
Firefox is what had finally delivered what people had wanted.
It sounds more like Microsoft is messing with my code. There is only one way to render the code correctly in most cases with a strict doctype tag. I want my web pages to view correctly 10 years for now; that is what the standard and doctype tags were made for. What Microsoft is doing now is going to fuck that up and it pisses me off.
If you want a webpage to be displayed IE6 style, use the damn HTML4 transitional doctype or no doctype declarations at all.
Microsoft should just continue to improve the standards complaint rendering engine. It's that simple. They can leave the IE6 stuff for the transitional/unlabeled html.
I agree with your point when it comes to differences between ie6 and ie7. But with ie8, the standard complaint rendering engine should be reasonably similar to ie7's. On top of that, people who are using the correct doctype to signal strict html rendering are most likely expecting better rendering down the road from ie and in the mean time do their initial layout testing on a gecko or webkit or presto based browser.
. In addition to preventing tens of thousands of websites from breaking, there are plenty of CDs and other media containing websites written over the last 10 years.
Holy fuckshit batman! Wasn't that the point of implementing standards in the first place? So the browsers that are given a specific doctype will render the same? And in the future if we want to add features we can just up the html version number? Are you TRYING to destroy that concept? Don't fuck with my standards. I want MY pages to display correctly in 10 years on _ANY_ browser.
If you want to keep your crappy ie6 rendering for future compatibility, use the damned html 4 transitional doc type. Hell, firefox will also go into quirks mode for you when you do that too.

What Microsoft _should_ have done was codename this Windows version as "Windows 7-eleven." That way they could have kept a bunch of current Microsoft traditions. They would have a greater version number than their competitors (xbox 360), the number would make absolutely no versioning sense what so ever (xbox 360, windows xp), and they would have some letters in the version for no reason whatsoever (windows xp.)
I can't remember any more. Is the GPL about freedom of developers or the "the bits want to be free!!!!!!!1111" free? Arg, my head is starting to hurt. Blarg.
Crap! I managed to brick my iPhone into a firewall. But I didn't think that Windows CE-ME-NT would dry so quickly all over it! Seriously, the 2000 grade formula drys in XP amount of time.
Please, feel free to brick me now with your brick iPhone that I know you think are now just useless bricks now. Mwa ha ha ha ha. Score.
Save yourself some frustration and realizer the term brick changed when it hit the mainstream market. Like 'Hacker'. You can't stop it, just sigh and go on, otherwise your just screaming into the wind. What you said is true when talking to the general public. But with how these "bricked" articles keep popping up, one can only assume that the slashdot editors are TRYING to piss off it's readers (perhaps to get more comments and indirectly more ad revenue.) When talking to other specialists about their specialty, you don't go around purposely misusing words. I'm looking at you slashdot, home of news for nerds, stuff that matters. Commander Taco and company might just have some atomic wedgies in their near futures.
It might take a few years, but I believe VBA is on it's way out. It's just Mac developers tend to jump the gun a few years early. (Dropping serial ports for only USB, dropping the floppy drives, dropping the cdrom bay...)
If VBA is actually here to stay, I say the telltale sign will be if VBA support is included in the NEXT version of Mac Office X. That is called backtracking.
Number 4. LINUX AND OSX!!!! It's not like Windows is the only game in town...it is perhaps for gaming, but that is not Microsoft's fault...you wouldn't try to sue Sony because your PS3 can't play an Amiga game, would you? It's a little bit more fault than you might think. Making windows the only game in town to play games on has long been Microsoft's strategy.
1. DirectX was made to pull people away from OpenGL which makes games MUCH harder to port. To accomplish making people use DirectX, the made Microsoft make the DirectX tools much better and more complete than using OpenGL-mabobs.
2. Microsoft bought the last great Mac Developer Bungie.
3. The Xbox was originally made to funnel developers to Windows.
4. I hate lists that I can't think of more than three things.
KDE4 sounds basically like a total rewrite. They somehow did it much faster than e17. Is it because of developer/user base size?
I have been a gnome user for the longest time as I have waited for e17 to mature. But kde4 is the first version that seems to be the version to interest me the most in a long time.
LCDs, because of how they are made have only one resolution that doesn't look like poop called the natural resolution of the display. So companies usually choose the resolution for the monitor size that works the best for the most people and make that the natural resolution. Another words, they choose the resolution that ensures the icons and texts don't get so small it's an eye sore. Because of the above, saying that you want a higher resolution LCD is basically synonymous with I want a larger LCD.
When interfaces become a bit more resolution independent or things start getting upscaled in the OS again we'll start seeing the higher resolution LCDs.
Anyone have anything they want to correct anything poopishly wrong?
I was flamed for this, but I'll state it again: Ubuntu tried PulseAudio by default before Fedora. The Ubuntu developers set it to default in Hoary until a huge flow of bug reports came in. I am curious whether Fedora will suffer the same fate, or if PulseAudio has matured enough from when it was called Polypaudio.
Consequently, Hoary was the release of Ubuntu with horrible audio problems ranging for ESD lag to polypaudio not playing sounds in some programs to OSS emulation causing only one program being capable of playing sounds at a time.
Mod parent up. There were plenty of people who had posted earlier that they wouldn't mind waiting about two weeks for results. On another note, having the counting slowed to two weeks destroys the effects of live counting by the networks on the people who still haven't voted yet.

To summarize: The closer something is to perfection, the easier it is to screw it up when trying to improve it.
I think do my dismay, my point turned out that I like sugar. ;P
Let's say that suddenly Coke was restricted from having sugar put into it by the government. What are the alternatives? Well, maybe premixing corn syrup...nutrisweet...or selling packets of sugar separately. Most stores would have enough common sense to include SOMETHING so you don't have to go without.

What's the diff? I do hope Webkit is less of a compile than Gecko. (Gentoo User)

Relax. He is probably already 30 and with 19 years of web development is already going senile. Just let him stay in his corner.
