  1. Ancient Wisdom on Science Documentaries for Youngsters? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Bereishit bara Elohim et hashamayim ve'et ha'aretz

  2. The Solution Is So Obvious on The New School of Information Security · · Score: 1

    The solution just is so obvious. *Start* using the technology the way it was meant to be used by the original designers. And *stop* using open protocols (HTTP etc.) and the web browser to support application development. http://www.responsive.co.nz/source.html [responsive.co.nz]

  3. Re:The current browsers are fundamentally flawed[e on Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser? · · Score: 1

    Precisely. It's called Windows (or Linux if you prefer.)

  4. The Problem with Browsers on Is There Room For a Secure Web Browser? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's obvious something's wrong with most Internet software. Either the world is full of *inadequate programmers* or the problem is something more fundamental. I think we need to ask why an Internet application has to run in a browser? Why not make it a native (Windows, Linux etc.) application and only provide data to the browser (via HTTP) when it's necessary to expose it to the general public? This would make things a lot easier for the programmer and also provide significant security if the HTTP protocol is not used to transfer sensitive data across the Internet. Here's an example of the concept implemented in Delphi for Windows http://www.responsive.co.nz/source.html

  6. What about Christianity? on New Explanation For the Industrial Revolution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What's this? A scholarly explanation of the Industrial Revolution that ignores the influence of the 16th century Christian Reformation on the attitudes and behaviour of people in the Protestant countries of Europe that made the Industrial Revolution possible. Isn't there at least some possibility that the influence of Reformed Christianity may go some way towards explaining the so called "strange behaviour" of nonviolence, literacy, long working hours, and a willingness to save.
