  7. Re:Notepad *has* changed on Analysis of .NET Use in Longhorn and Vista · · Score: 1

    You'll find it was on NT that notepad increased its text size capability.

    64k is the maximum amount of memory you could malloc on x86 in real mode becuase 64k is the segment size.

    It is also why Win 3x/9x would run out of memory as resources such as fonts & icons where all kept in one segment.

    > I think it's only a few years away and you'll come across web sites which may at first glance look like like old school html with a bit of flash, but are in fact XAML... a windows application.

    At first glance these will not look like old school html to me, they will look like a big square with "download plugin" or some such in the middle.

    > I can hear you all saying... but Java and Flash are cross platform.

    They are cross platform round here, blank squares are easy to draw.

    > Like Java and Flash, .NET to some is going to increasingly become more cross platform, it's been designed that way from the outset.

    It really isn't hard to keep your sensitive data safe from the first order of inspection.

  15. Re:Requires javascript to work on Accoona - How Does This Search Engine Rate? · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting search because it shows that Accoona can't handle character encodings outside of 32-127. When you can't display é in your search results you have lost.

  16. Re:Requires javascript to work on Accoona - How Does This Search Engine Rate? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it is because Javascript is not available on every platform and we believe in accessibility.

    All of my sites have Javascript in them, my latest even make extensive use of XMLHttpRequest, neither of which are REQUIRED to make it work.

    FFS that web search is a text input and three buttons.

    You display your ignorance with "Apache authentication" it is HTTP Authentication. But you are right about not being able to log out. It was not until the world of Firefox Extensions that such a feature was available.

    "No password in the clear" was very easily available to the developers of the 4.0 browsers but they chose to ignore it, for shame.

    > I just don't see anything beyond static web content with js and cookies unless it's horribly over programmed on the server side.

    It is perhaps because you are blind.
