someone hacks the frequence that these things are running at and takes them over and sends them all at the white house...
one can hope.. but no really are these unmaned drones robots or remote controlled? If they are remotely controlled, can they be hacked? If so what would a hacker do with a fleet of unmaned drones?
They will help write the standard and then they will implement what they want out of it, and extend it to suit their needs.
People, look at HTML, CSS, and various other web standards, MS has their name all over these standards and look at how IE implements them. MS does this with all standards, so why should this be any different.
Mod this down if you wish, flame it, etc, but I'm right and you know it!

I've built a library on top of ajax.
on
AJAX and IE7?
·
· Score: 1
basically I have created an ajax object in javascript. That object then handles the differences between IE and gecko based browers and opera and safari and konqueror.
I've done this with several things as well: libjsevent -> event abstraction; libjsdom -> some dom manipulation abstraction; etc. The advantage to this, is that if IE7 supports ajax differently or through activex or some other means, then I can add it to the library and all things work again. If I have to develop some special IE plugin I can check for that in my object and have it prompt the user for a plugin download.
All applications that need ajax use libjsajax and then I update the library and they all work.
I'd have to agree. I tried it and it says it loads in 6 seconds. Not at 992k ( which is as close as my dsl can get to 1.5M )! It took more like 60 seconds or so to load.
Then it failed to open up my resume which is a really simple word document.
I use ajax in my companies web application. I do think that it will take time before people learn how to take advantage of this technology in a way that really makes sense. Some people are doing it now, but I think most people are going to put stuff out there that is to much for what the internet is ready for.
Most people do not have the bandwidth to work with this application. It may make more sense if there was a server in an office that people would run thier applications from.. oh that's what citrix does....
and I have one. I use dreamweaver, eclipse, java, ant and several other programs. So it is rather nice to have the speed and also the 1gig of ram. Yes and I use them at the same time sometimes. Eclipse can be a pig, using lots of ram and processing and so can dreamweaver when you use some extensions.
Thanks, I didn't write the code. I'm stuck with it. Many of these coders don't know what the hell they are doing when they write code, so they wrote lots of bad code.
Alot of the code uses Me which I heard is a nono in.net also. I ran a code checker and it found lots of problems.
I guess we need to pull it into.net and see what blows.
I'd like some info on a.net migration from VB 6.0.
Some background on this. Our VB 6.0 is not object oriented at all, and it was originally VB 3.0 that was ported to VB 6.0. The forms have code in them.
I'd like to know if migrating from VB 3.0/6.0 to.net would be a total rewrite or what. I have analyzed some of the code and I know the biggest issue I see is the Variant types, but not sure what else, and if it is possible. This is a really large project.
On another note, if anyone knows of a way to migrate Vax Basic to C that would be great too.
I've discovered more recnetly that netscraft has a toolbar that can be used to report phishing sites. They will check the site out and then block it in their toolbar. So if you install the toolbar under IE/firefox, you can have known phishing sites blocked, before you get to the phish site.
I'm going to get my roommate to start using this instead of mozilla.
.. and then does not do crap about it... read my journal and see what happened to my roommate.. he lost his account, because he responded to the phish, but yahoo has yet to my knowledge taken the site down
I was going to say the same thing, then I saw your post. I contacted google and asked them not to cache my pages years ago and they said, to put add a meta tag with that in it and my pages would not be cached. It works. What are these guys so into sue someone today that they can't code their pages right?
My DSL modem has an on/off button, so I can 'simulate dialups' not always connected.
I'd recommend a firewall to begin with. Either buy a cheap netgear/linksys/dlink firewall router, for starters. Then get a firewall on your windows box, like zonealarm. There are others as well. Then install ms antispiware, and adaware, and maybe even some virus software as well.
That will help secure your machine some.
Dialup is not more secure, because its slow. Thats like saying that security through obsecurity is security. If you leave the front door open, someones going to come in.
MS does it, we do it and countless sites say you must have cookies to surf this site, or they say things like you are not running browser x, where x usually = IE / netscape / mozilla.
Todays pda's that can surf the web have pretty good browsers, so why should you have to support lynx? Make sure your site does support blind input or at least some degree of blind input support ( use alt / title tags etc ).
The minute someone eyes hit the page, you have about that long to wow them. If there is to much flash on the page, you can actually overwhelm people and turn them off.
FYI: If you are a developer and are developing some web thing and need to impress your boss, you should remember this. You have to wow them the first time. Best thing to do is show them somewhat diverse options, and css is good for that.
The select shows January dropdown for the month, 1-31 for day, and the year goes from 2001 to 2010 or whatever you select. It can be dynamic using the Java Calendar object. If useFUulYear = true then the year is CCYY otherwise its just YY. The input format can change based on a user pref from MMDDYY to DDMMYY. Since its a dropdown, the chances of an incorrect date are slim to none, but there currently is the possiblity of Feb 30 2005, but the db update will fail in that case. The output format is more flexible, and can be MMDDYY, CCYYMMDD or January 1 2005, or January 1, 2005 ( notice the comma ) or 1 January 2005, etc. It makes it really easy to code date stuff and also really flexible. It is my new defacto date selection object.
Does JSTL offer something that easy and flexable? Seriously I don't know, I've never used JSTL, just JSP.
I'd second that but with one comment. Do you have java developers or vb developers?
struts is really cool, and I use that. I've come up with a few of my own tags though, because struts does not have them.
The following, obvious things are missing from all the frameworks I've used.
1) struts tags are nice, but if you use the dynaformbeans, then its a problem to fill the beans from a database. Not really a problem, its possible, but not easy. I've created a request to hashtable to object method, so I can create xml that describes my beans, and then my beans get specialized methods that can covert the data to and from hash tables.
2) simeple things made easy.. certain tags are missing.. date tag. date formats are always a problem in any application, so I have had to create a custom date object, that has a display format and an output format. Some people want to see data in MMDDYY format, others want it in DDMMYY format and others want it with YYYY. So my tag handles this. Its nice because it is 1 tag that creates the 3 dropdowns with full month displayed to the user and some hidden fields, and also javascript for manipulating the format that gets put in the hidden field. To me this is needed for any real web application.
Struts, AFAIK, does not have sort in their select tag. How many well done sites have you gone to that do not format states or coutries alphabetically? Also how many times do you want to get a list and display it alphabetically? Yeah you can do it with the struts tags, but the tag can take a hashtable. It should also be able to sort based on decending / ascending and either option display value or the value itself.
Just my opinion. I'm not bashing struts, and have not played enough with jsf, so it may address these, but I doubt it.
I can see though that web development will get easier when more of these issues are addressed in frameworks like struts and jsp and even.net.

I think my calendar is easier to use. And mine creates the div and checks to see if it already exists.
Someone now needs a UI Design tool that allows people to easyly integrate these into a design WYSIWYG mode.
Calendar foo = new Calendar('your_id');

Its a web standard to use meta tags and the noarchive is a search engine standard as is robots.txt.

if not, its not a flash killer.
Also what about replacing the hard drive with a flash drive, would that be better or worse?
