So my conclusion is that you have never done any real programming in JS as a general-purpose language, instead of just using it as an interface to a browser DOM.
Those are pretty strong words;-) You're right, my earlier beef was about the DOM (although the checkbox/array beef wasn't). I'll admit that most of my javascript coding revolves around the browser DOM, but I've written a calendar app that was a lot more than that. Anyways, that's for the feedback and the insight.
Yeah I've seen that before and it was in the back of my mind as I wrote my comment. But truth be told you'd have to be hard pressed to run a business on something like that.
Amen to that! I used to think that tabbing as a form of indent was a major sin, but since most IDEs these days (and every text editor worth its weight in salt) will allow you to adjust tab length/replace tabs with spaces/replace spaces with tabs, I don't see what the big deal is any more, and in fact I think tabs are a better choice.
What I both hate and like about javascript (btw, all the spaces are thanks to the kind folks at/.:
document.forms["formName"].elements["elementName"].value; document.formName.elementName.value; doc ument.forms["formName"].elementName.value; docume nt.formName.elements["elementName"].value; eval(" document." + formName + "." + elementName + ".value;"); document.getElementById("elementId");//okay, so not quite the same
You'd think it was perl there are so many ways to do it, and people are rarely consistent.
One other beef about javascript. Say you have an array of checkboxes, but it's possible that there is only 1 checkbox, then you are forced to check first if there's only one instead of checkboxes.length == 1 sigh.
Cool thanks! The N64 at our apartment was and still is used solely for MarioKart. We've got tons of other games, but stopped playing them all years ago. Only mariokart has stood the test of time. If this game is as good as it looks, then I think I'll be buying a game cube.
Uh, Apple didn't copy that feature. They started using BSD (or whatever), which already had a multiuser setup. And if memory serves me correct, that sort of feature existed in Unix/Linux long before it was in XP, so I'd say XP is the one that copied in this case.

I have a 19 inch CRT, and the aformentioned keyboard tray. Even with the tray the screen is still too damn close to my face because I can't push it back any further. In addition, it takes up so much desk space I don't have room to lay documents or books out. I'm debating moving to a 17 or even 15 inch LCD just so I can get some sanity back, Unreal Tournament be damned!
My recommendation is IntelliJ's IDEA. I've used JBuilder, JDeveloper and plain old Ultra-Edit, and IDEA has made me the happiest...it has definitely made my job easier and made me more productive. Plus if you're good you'll never touch a mouse again.
...it's pretty damning of the USPTO if it did award a trademark for to someone for a domain name that belonged to a third party.
Although he obtained the domain name by illegitimate means, at the time it didn't belong to a third party as far as the books were concerned, so how was the USPTO to know?
Ahhh, I didn't think about the charging aspect. Good point.
Personally, I'd be willing to give up a bit of size/weight if I knew the device would stay up and running for a week at a time. I believe the article mentioned 4 hours of streaming with it. That's still pretty good if you just want to 'session' the device, but means having to charge more than once a day to do any 'always on' stuff. The good news is that, unlike my old Palm III, it is hard drive based and when the batteries drain you don't need to worry about losing info.
As for the wifi standards, I'm guessing that since 802.11g is not final yet they are holding off on that one...and it could also be a battery drain issue too.
BTW, your idea of (a) + (g) is pretty damn cool. Kudos!
Once you get home, you pop it into your computer and bam, you've got the same info.
With the wifi you wouldn't even need to pop it into your computer. Leave it in your bag/briefcase, like you do at work, and it'll be accessible through your home network.
People still have a hard time thinking about the possibilities of this technology. Think about how easily data that could be swapped while sitting on a bus, or even stuck in traffic? What about having all your mp3s available to play off your wifi enable car stereo, or even home stereo. All of these are beautiful, but the nicest part is that you never have to interact with it, no cables, no synchronizing (the biggest dissadvantage of current PDAs), just access it like as a networked drive from whatever computer you happen to be around.
Hehe, believe me when I say that in no way was I advocating C#. I myself program in Java, for Win32 and Linux, and have no interest in C#. What I was aluding to is that MS doesn't need Java because it already has C#. And the cross platform ability of Java is not something MS is interested in since they want everyone to be on Windows anyway.

Of course you're right. I was aluding to perl's There's more than one way to do it philosophy.

Yeah, too bad you'll be stuck running your code on a microsoft server, bwahahaha. What a waste of money, let alone pseudo-security.

What about public computer terminals though?
No problem, it will be safely available everywhere from MS.Passport. What do you mean it isn't safe?
Seriously. That was one wasn't a sample, it was a blantant rip.

You've obviously never heard of C#, or at least don't understand what it is. Whoever rated you insightful is in the same boat.
It was too funny...the stairs sequence had me laughing on my ass. Be glad that I made the link available before the site crashed.
