I don't quite get the question. But my understand is that you'll be able to explicitly set the IE render mode through a HTTP header, which can easily be set in your web server.
I did notice that certain pages, Such as Google, make the icon disappear. It must not show up if a render mode is defined in the site, but I'm not sure.
I don't have IE8 installed, but I believe that's because Google doesn't send a doctype and therefore their page is rendered in legacy (IE5) mode.
One trick I've seen is a JavaScript/Flash applet combo which automatically replaces all the H1s and H2s with headings in the company font.
This creates titles which have the corporate look, but doesn't require a bunch of photoshopping and doesn't break accessbility. Furthermore if the web taliban doesn't like it, they can easily block it.
I don't think so. Google Analytics tracks many visitors to the same site, whereas this seems to be aimed at preventing tracking of the same visitor to many sites. In the MS blog it says it'll prevent the same cookie tracking you across more than 10 sites.
Hahaha. Google uses the same cookie across multiple sites, and certainly does track cross-site traffic. They even make some of that information available to end users.
This actually helps the "enterprise" analytics guys like Ominture (aka 2O7.net) because they allow cookies to be set to sub-domains but can still track cross-site traffic.
There appear to be a lot of slashdot people that either don't have a speck of creativity or value what creativity they have at about the level of flipping burgers at McDonald's.
One of the best bit of insights Richard Stallman had was that 90% of programmers flip burgers by working on in-house software. Which is effectively a 'trade secret' and irrelevant to the issues of copyrights/patents/so on.
I agree the attitude is dismissive, but it goes with the IT territory.
Easy explanation. The Amiga was already considered a commercial dead-end by the time the Internet became popular in 1994-5, and Commodore folded soon afterwards.
Admittedly the platform lived on for years with third party hardware/software support, but practically nobody considered 'alive' in this time period.
Camcorders on both the high- and the low-ends are moving to flash storage. This is treated like a conventional 'drive' on the computer so the sustained streaming FW provides isn't required.
So it's quite possible that consumer camcorders will just skip FW800/3200 and go with USB3.
Well, the original complaint was about form elements and 'widgets', so yes I believe it's directly relevant. How much javascript "gunk" is directly related to data input?
I got the impression that the W3C decided that "XForms Is The Future", and therefore was steadfastly ignoring the deficiencies in HTML forms. (Which are still virtually identical to those found in Netscape 2, and never were completely documented in "DOM0".)
Obviously MS and other W3C companies have their own competing technologies, but prior to HTML5 I don't know of any efforts to improve the state of HTML forms.
The issue is that the type you have all the electronics for iPod or USB integration, the CD mechanism is extremely cheap to add. Little point in knocking $10 off a $300 deck.
See the Ford Sync for example (sorry 09 Mustang only:)
Hell, I'd pay more for a system with no cd player, no memory, and only a headphone jack than I'd play for any other type of car audio system without the headphone jack, and I'm not alone.
These are commonly sold, it's called an "amplifier".
I agree the DOM can be a problem in certain corner-cases, but people on this site act like it's 1998 and IE & Netscape use two completely different DOMs. The truth is that 99% of properly-written DOM manipulation code will run cross-browser without big issues.
Oh I agree totally, I'm just pointing out that with a properly designed and controlled environment there's no real requirement for JavaScript. I'd love to see WSH integration for Firefox (and with whatever scripting frameworks exist on *nix and OS X).
That was done years ago. Any scripting language which plugs into the Windows Scripting Host can be used for web scripts in IE. So ActiveState Perl and Python can be used in a suitably controlled environment.

Opera doesn't.
... any more. For years Opera claimed to be MSIE

Looks like they have it on the results page, but not the home page.
In addition to that, administrators can add sites/domains to the Intranet 'zone'.

If you RTFA, he rejected a 3 year manslaughter plea before going to trial. So not really.

Had one too. It had a snap on battery pack which took C-cells IIRC and made it at least somewhat portable.

Why would I have to guess when I know it's perl?

This post could be rewritten as "Reason browsers are the most popular runtimes"

Are you aware that people said the exact same thing about the future being Java applets, ActiveX controls and Flash?
Every few years someone declares HTML to be obsolete and they're always wrong.
Yep. Also the Microsoft reference on "JScript" is pretty good.

And MySpace is written in ColdFusion. According to your logic, therefore ColdFusion is still going strong. ColdFusion Forever!
(Actually PHP still seems broadly popular, but every environment gets that midlife crisis where the bloom is off the rose.)
Actually that makes me think a bit. The regex is hard to understand, a manually-written parser would be much worse.
Yup, see any VB codebase (or anything written by VB programmers). Loads of difficult to read stuff like:
If Mid(blah,x,y)=a And (Left(blah,z)=b Or InStr(blah,p,q) > 0) And Mid(blah,r,s) ...
Which often can be replaced by a very simple regex.
