    Maybe you would better remember it, if you didn't use the auto-completion.

    I have to agree, Symbian is not yet open source.

    Here in the Netherlands, in Europe we hardly ever have movies advertised with a TV-commercial. I doubt it will happen for this movie. People still go to the movies though.

    Why should I not buy from the manufacturer ? I understand that in the current situation, this is not what is happening in a lot of cases. But why not ? My computer comes directly from the manufacturer (well, they designed it, might not have produced it however). I can buy my milk and cheese at the farm if I want to. I really don't need a middleman for all that.

  5. Re:RAM usage on Firefox Beta Touts Advanced Engine, Solves 8 Flaws · · Score: 1

    That sounds like you have a javascript with a lot of try/catch in there which actually has something to catch. I've noticed that is very slow in Firebug. Also memory usage could be Firebug-relaeted. Disable it when you are not using it, that really does help.

    Euh... Nokia is/has released Symbian as open source. I think we can say Cell Phones is something which has been concurred. LCD-TV's is also a field where Linux is doing well: Sony, Mitsubishi, LG, etc. are selling TV's based on Linux. Most ISPs run their e-mail servers on Linux or BSD with open source POP- or IMAP- and SMTP-software. I could go on, but I do want a life. ;-)

    Are you sure you did not mean Novell instead of IBM ? IBM would be one of those vendors that created a Java-runtime. But you seems to be moving this discussion to server-side languages. I was trying to convey HTML/JavaScript/CSS is vendor neutral.

    Who cares if Silverlight runs on the moon, their really is no point in helping them gain marketshare if that means it won't ever be adopted in a vendor neutral way. You are creating a situation where your company will just be locked in to that one technology created by that one vendor.

    Personally I don't even like the whole Web 2.0 / Ajax stuff, because it prevents people from getting what they are looking for: text/content. so I could care less about who or what invented the A J or X in Ajax.

    The problem with Microsoft is, when they got a really large part of the browser market, they stopped developing it, they made sure people lost interrest in participating in the standards, because Microsoft with their large market share wouldn't implement it anyway.

    On the account of Mozilla, they actually do it the right way, they add -moz-XXXX because then it doesn't clash with any future standard.

    And they work with the standards people to get new things adopted.

    Why do you think all this CSS/Javascript/HTML/Ajax/whatever doesn't work in allo those browsers, it's because of what Microsoft did.

    This is probably the worst reason to go with Microsoft-technology, because you know you will just create an evironment where it easier for them to create the same bad situation all over again.

    Don't push Silverlight, push Firefox or something. Use open standards. Maybe use Firefox Prism.

    Just so you know, there are MSI-packages of Firefox for Windows as well if you need them.

    Hell, getting people from IE-old to IE8 would be a large improvement.

    You should develop for the web, lots of languages there.

    You can use Javascript, HTML, CSS in the browser, SQL, PHP, Java, C, Perl, TCL, whatever on the server. If you use one the scripting languages, you don't need a makefile or build-system.

    It's instant multiplatform as well. :-)

    It would be better if the providers would just implement what is already available, that would solve most problems (DNS updates, proper spoofed traffic filtering, etc.). And work up from there, adding proper BGP-security would be next on my list.
