It adds more work to already tedious processes and completely ignores any strides made in UI regarding access for those with disabilities.
Cool down, already: Opera is one of the best browsers around for keyboard access, and the best of the GUI browsers. Press Ctrl+J for a list of links on a page. Press Q and A to jump between links, W and S to jump between headings, E and D to jump between elements, Z and X for back and forward, keypad + and - to zoom the entire content in or out...

Of course I noticed it was inside a string. I have no problems with any symbols used inside string literals or whatever - the parser should not see them as language elements.
But as you point out, they are treated as language elements. and hence they are "overloaded" with respect to the use as comments. My point still holds.
ASP is not a programming language. It's a mechanism for using Windows Scripting Host server-side. The host language can be any of VBScript (apparently what people think of when they write "ASP"), JScript, ActiveState PerlScript or Python. Possibly others as well.

>> isn't a comment in Ruby; it uses # as a comment symbol.
What decent language can overload the comment symbol in this fashion?
What is more interesting is, instead of stupidly gloating, to note which companies are still *in* business and why, rather to glibly talk about the failure of e-business.
Go right ahead and write about it. But why attack the authors of that article for writing what they wanted instead of what you wanted? That's childish.
Nope, Scripting Host works client-side in IE as well. You just need to specify e.g. "text/python" as the language. For an example, see my multiplication table (in Norwegian, but it demonstrates the concept).
Because Sun has it locked up tighter than an Martha Stewart's hieney.
Except, of course, the specs are freely available for anyone to implement. How is that "locked up"?
The key points are:
Java and Javascript have become de facto standards, as has Macromedia's Flash technology and RealMedia's streaming technology.
Microsoft are trying to butt into the first and last via their.NET architecture and Windows Media.
Curl will be a YALL. (Yet Another Losing Language), and can join the queue to the soup kitchen behind Eiffel, Dylan, Tcl, Smalltalk and all the others which were "supposed" to win because, like, they were best and it was just a matter of time before the rest of the world would notice.
Java and Javascript won because they had corporate backing, and good "marketing" because they were 'in' webpages. Oh, and because they contain good ideas, and the proponents of the languages can actually communicate with the rest of the world and don't simply assume that the language will psionically make people use it by its mere existance.
All they have to do is to convince Microsoft to include it in their next release of IE.
Actually, with the Scripting Host support built into Windows, you can run client-scripts in IE and ASP-scripts in IIS in any language supporting it. This includes MS' own VBScript and JScript (of course) plus Python and Activestate PerlScript, at least. But those aren't deployed much so people simply assume that scripts in web pages == J(ava)Script and ASP == VBScript.
"They", "them", and "their" are grammatically plural
Bzzt! Check your dictionary again: The pronouns are also legal in singular, though that use diminished over the centuries. It has largely been replaced by "he", "him" and "his", probably because women didn't count when the change occured: There was no need for a common pronoun for "male or female" because only the male was of any importance.:-P
Whether you (another pronoun which is the same in singular and plural form) are using singular or plural should be apparent from the sentence's context.
That $2 figure is something you came up with. There is no guarantee the cost of the software won't be higher. What about a non-optional subscription fee for the filtering database at, say, $50 a year?
Have you at all considered that people want to decide on software to use and install themselves? What if it's not only a $2 "censorware" package (which conveniently filters away articles complaining about how unreliable the software is)? What if they also installed Microsoft Money for an added $10 (don't want it? Uninstall!), Motocross Madness for $12 (don't want it? Uninstall!), etc. until that $2,000 PC turns into a $3,000 computer crammed with non-optional software?
And I haven't even mentioned yet that the filtering software isn't targeted at well-paid 'nerds in the software industry', but a Joe "A.O.helL." Schmoe, shooting your "argument" in the foot. (It bleeds! It dies! Carpet.)
Dark Age of Camelot, Anarchy Online, Horizons, etc. are all in various stages of development, but this makes me wonder who is taking the risk that they are actually going to work and whether that risk is going to continue to be viable if even the well-branded Ultima name wasn't considered enough...
Anarchy Online has the advantage of not being "fantasy" but dark future sci-fi. Ignoring the Dreamcast-based Phantasy Star Online and Verant/Sony's vapourware Star Wars MMORPG, there won't be much competition when it's released — apparently sometime in the July-September timeframe.
But none of those were made by Nintendo, which makes the article's actual statement remain correct. This is Ninentdo's first handheld with this configuration.
A religion attempts to fulfill the spiritual needs of an individual. There is no concern beyond their spiritual welfare and the desire to help them to become a better person.
At least according to the ambassadors of such religions. The native peoples exploited by churches may have a differing opinion.
IMHO, the difference between a "religion" and religion is that in the latter case so long time has passed since its founding that there no longer are anyone left who know the truth about their Hubbard.
Slashdot Mirror
Not necessarily. What aspect of the GPL do you feel prevents someone from selling GPL'ed software for, say, $10,000?
You mean as opposed to if Intel had taken them in as salaried employees?
Well, they're not on the list, so they may have some other strange definition instead of the common meaning.

As in Moria and Angband. Now that cools (cool and rules).
So, what you're saying is someone made a hipper version of the bomb Clean Slate? What's the big deal?
Why do you think that is the only subspecies of Homo Geekus the site targets?

Because Qt is a cross-platform library! There isn't necessarily X underneath.
No, you're definitely right on this one. Add support for .0001 % of the linux population so they can run X a little quicker. Good usage of time
You know, instead of being a prick just because someone adds a software feature you don't need, try writing some software of your own.
All in all, you seem to believe Qt == KDE == Linux. Go play with sharp objects instead of trying to understand anything.

perl 6.0
I guess you can still do a
require 6.0;
if that's what you're after. Require and version numbers have worked for quite some time, I think.
... it's a big enough mess as it is.

A true creator MUST create.. it is an immutable compulsion.
Ah. And a true consumer MUST exploit, yes?
Money is not everything.
People who say that usually have more than enough of it in the first place.
Yes, there is. Just point out to some militant Moslem organization their attempt to convert Moslems to Christianity, and watch the bombings. :-)
