    But by distributing a patent implementation under the GPL then allows for further distribution under the same terms of the GPL.

    Funny how Dictators and Terrorists rounding others up killing and/or dumping them in mass graves makes other people more suspicious and ready to round up people for intensive questioning.

    Reminds me of when my brother got busted with pot. He lost his car and about $3k in fines and court costs. My parents blamed pot. Although pot didn't do that to him the government did. Pot only ever got us high.

    Which parts of the patriot act allow this. I'm not trying to flame I am genuinely curious, not only if you know what you're talking about, but how this is written in.

    "...not compatible at all."

    Come on now. I am as much a Linux zealot as the next Slashdot'er, but even I have to say that most versions of Windows were better then 90% compatible with each other. Incompatibilities were the exception not the rule.

    This way they have the information and a court can subpoena it. Gets Microsoft out of blame and they can point at teh courts as being the ones who are useing the info against their will. And they can catch pirates. Argh.

    Honestly, it's so easy to write "valid" markup that I'm convinced that only gross incompetence and disturbing amounts of laziness are the reasons that any invalid markup exists today.

    Thank your for defining "elitist snobbery" for me. Here's a reality check the world is full of stupid people. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to play.

    That's a pretty ugly warning for forgetting a style option in a css field. Look at the errors. sure there may be 207 but most of them are very minor things that should be ignored by a browser.

  18. Re:Running Nighlty code on Using Safari Slows Your System? · · Score: 1

    You know, when it works fine in both IE and Firefox, why can't Safari handle bad code as well? The quality of, especially, a browser should not be judged strictly on the support of standards, but also and probably more important is it's ability to gracefully handle non-conforming code. Although the purists will say fix the website, there are many many websites that are done by amitures who may not be able to or know how to fix it. Saying they should fix their website, when it works fine in other, more popular, browsers is elitist snobbery. Perhaps they should fix it, but that doesn't absolve Safari from not try to do it's best with what it is given.

    Don't bother switching to windows because it works fine on OSX in Firefox.

    I have found Safari to be almost completely unusable. Sites like http://kbb.com/ wont let you look up certain car values. some web controlled APC power strips we have wont even display the first page, and http://www.az501st.com/ most of the menu's don't work.
