  1. Re:Why a different version? on CSS for Mobile Devices · · Score: 1
    It seems to be things that increase the viewable area. Like not allowing CSS definitions of 'empty-cells', 'line-height', and also somethings that disallow layering and DHTML like not having 'z-index'. It seems that implementing this shoddy level of CSS on a WAP device wouldn't be too difficult (remember that most WAPs are like fixed width terminals onscreen - they have little need for changing of line-height).

    Regardless however they're going about it the wrong way. Making another CSS definition because the W3C think they know that you don't want an optional 'text-shadow' for a title -- it's condescending to current-day display technology that has made ground in recent years in regards to dotpitch, resolution, and of course colours.

    I hope browser makers rebel against this shitty standard and support the full CSS spec.

    WAP 1.0 sucks arse, WAP 2.0 is XHTML, which is a little better. Does anyone not like WAP2?

    I recently lost a job to an older gentleman who uses Dreamweaver. More to the point he doesn't know HTML and doesn't know how to use Dreamweaver effectively.

    In his test page for the job he used deeply nested tables with image mouseovers (breaks N3) and as I said, he got the job.

  7. Re:Ok maybe this was before my video game career b on Are Virtual Worlds Worth It? · · Score: 1
    Not necessarily. Analog video gaming usually means that a critical part of the game is based upon the output/measurement of a physical thing. Like an osiloscope, for example, that was used in early arcade games of pong.

    I've read that Missle Command (city at night being bombarded while earth gun-turrets shot out the bombs before they hit a town) was analog.

    A friend of mine used a pendulum for a game he built in the early 80s and the acceleration was measured which correlated to the spread of fire from the spaceship. He would immerse the pendulum in liquid when he was playing to lower the spread of fire and win. The bastard.

    Oh, and so I don't dissapoint my audience, and i'm awfully sorry about this but hopefully you'll understand, you funt knuckle bsded poop-head

    Don't mistake me, I think RH is arse too. Not because they're sucessful (hurrah to them for that!) but because they mislabel software. RH7 is fatally flawed in many ways and doesn't even have the stability of a regular point oh redhat release.

    I build houses, I specialise in installing doors.

    I installed a Rimu door, full finish, and tied a string up to a release mechanism for a blade. The string will only activate the release mechanism if someone breaks the door, that I installed. When released the blade will fall down and severe my balls.

    Now do you find this admirable?

    No?

    Well you shouldn't. I'm an idiot that happens to rule the world with an iron fist. But Mr. Young here isn't putting his neck on the line - he won't suffer if people yell back, and when he puts Redhat 7 on a machine that's expected to stay up as long as any other previous release - and if it fails will severe his balls - then we'll see.

    Inviting personal criticism is admirable and takes guts? Bah. Redhat has been getting incesantly bashed with this release and I doubt if this would add anything more to the fire.

    I couldn't disagree more.

    This is a major flaw in the open source advocacy (no not open source, i'm not a troll today, just the way in which some people defend it). It's not laziness if I don't read gigs of source code, learn how it relates to itself, and find bugs and fix them - hell, I can do so why don't I?

    It's common sense not to bother.

    If 1% of computer users had the skill and knowledge to fix software - then 99% of people have to trust their distrbution not to have major flaws in their product.

    The X days and Redhat7 will fallover bug is a bad one.

    Redhat 7 isn't a toy that you found on an FTP site, it's being billed as commercial level software and being sold as a boxed edition.

    Now we all know software never ships bug free. So the standard by which we measure software is the number of bugs and whether they should have released it.

    I would say no.
