    Ah, so that's how libertarians justify opposition to land reform now that their ancestors have stolen the commons.

    White males still get ahead easily everywhere, quit whining.

    That's why I set up these things first, instead of waiting until thanksgiving weekend to set things up.

    To continue on the other reply - And 5 days after the Soviets launched their curbstomp of the Kwantung army, 3 months after the Soviets took Berlin...

    Also, funny enough, ww2 started because the allies did exactly what you suggest to Germany.

    There's also the number of assemblies we don't know about that have been disregarded early to be brought back on the table (name forgotten) as something that's a) important and b) much much much more powerful than we thought (Kurzweil likened them to RAM, which they are ostensibly not). Oh, and c) we have no real clue how they work because neuroscience isn't even there yet.

  16. Re:History on New Microsoft Silverlight Features Have Windows Bias · · Score: 1

    There's some people who tried to do it in python, and I know one tech demo that's very elementary "rubyscript" (yes I know JS and java are different :p ). It seems kinda neat, but it has the issue of being mildly slow.

    That's the classic definition of fascism according to the fascists themselves.

    And by "anti-government people" I mean the people who actually make the decisions, not the acclaiming plebe.

    Because what the antigovernment people as a rule don't want to admit they want is to do away with the lower rung of it, not with the top.

    wow, they revised it recently. Let me review and grade if they did their homework, shall we?

    Fail, barely, Fail entirely if you add the fact that the only 100% flash compatible screen reading tech is on Windows.

    Of 5 categories supported, they have 4 with exceptions. 3 with killing exceptions. And only a handful users who are smart enough to implement the solutons.

    i dont't know where and how adobe flash or the other cancer,ms-novell-silverlight-moonlight coud do that.

    It can't, adobe's accessibility recommendations is to keep a separate non-flash version of the site and that's it. It doesn't degrade well (so financial access is problematic), it doesn't work in screen readers (and I've even seen flash shit coders who thought a site with audio without text for its menus, assuming the person is of a particular ethnic group and hearing, was a smart idea), and it's barely searchable.
