  1. Re:Great! Just look at "javascript" on Public Standards: C# 2, Java 0 · · Score: 1

    The standard EMCA libs. don't include DOM support, which is where MSIE and Netscape 4 screw you, as the W3C DOM standard libs were not out, so both just made it up as they went along.
    Now; MSIE 6, Moz and KHTML all support the w3c DOM quite nicely.

    I had added GeoTags when /. mentioned them quite some time ago.
    All the "Agg Evil Gov." posts, I really dont get, as with all HTML-metadata it is optional (and almost always under used).

    I'd guess that the memory for the pictures is held in the replacable barrel. Which is also the clip.
    Thus it would have say 10 shots, and memory for 10 pictures.
    omehow this doesn't seem to be the answer to gun crime.
    Nope, but it does mean that cops and US-home/gun owners don't get shot where their own gun.
    This has uses, like the police force, and legal gun owners, it would be very good for places where people claim they require a gun, for hunting for example (you then also get a nice picture of the foxes brains splatter accross the field, and your pack of hounds jumping on it, or the animal-rights actervist standard just a little too close to the evil nastie fox).

  17. Re:It depends on the OS on Do Scripters Suffer Discrimination? · · Score: 1

    Under Windows, the scripting language of choice is the cmd.exe language, whatever that is
    Not true, I recomend you read up on Windows Scripting Host (which supports PERL, VBscript & JScript), or look at Cygwin.

    hooray for the registry
    Yeah, Hooray. One cenrelised and standardized settings location. No parsing .rc/xml/ini/insert-random-format-here files, just a set of OS given fucntions.

    WSH has one major problem, which does not exist in SH world. Documentation, which is why more ofton than not, I end up using Cygwin (that is BASH) for scripting under windows, and I am no more limited than under insert-unix-a-like-of-choice.

    Gecko includes a lot of extras, such as it's AWT-alike (abstract windowing toolkit), these AFAIK are not actually needed.

    Mozilla & Netscape include loads of extras (mail, news, IM, i.e its a Application Suit not a browser).

    Plus things like KHTML (Apple uses this) are smaller than the Gecko engine, but not quite as compilent. h1:after { content: "Stuff"; } for example.

    (this is my understanding of it, I could be wrong)

    Mozilla is an Open Source browser, based on the Open Source rendering engine (platform/middleware) Gecko.

    Thus Mozilla is the interface, while Gecko does the work.
