  1. Re:Is there a cure? on Genetic Reason for Your Gadget Habit · · Score: 1
  2. Re:has there been..... on Google Declares War on Microsoft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Microsoft could easily introduce a DHTML bug (unintentionally?) in IE7 that would have broken google's AJAX-based app, and there there goes market share.

  3. Re:Funny, I was thinking something similar... on Playing CDs a Privilege Not A Right · · Score: 1

    Record company owns the music. You pay for a privilege to use that music in some specific ways that you and the music company agree upon. If you don't like the agreement, you don't have to pay. It's the same thing for most intellectual properties (software, music, movies, patented discoveries among other things) you either have to play by the owner's rules (pay money, subject yourself to DRM, GPL your derivative works, etc.), or you don't have access.

  4. Canvas tag = Bloat? on Mozilla Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Released · · Score: 1

    One of the new features in 1.5 is the support of tag (http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Drawing_Grap hics_with_Canvas). I thought firefox was about being fast, having a small memory footprint and letting users add bloat features through extensions. <canvas> tag is currently supported only on Safari, is not a W3C standard (unlike SVG), and I don't see why do I need to load its support stub/code into memory every time I want to browse the web.

    Can these sort of things be moved to extension land?

  5. Re:Yes, but how efficient overall? on New Way to Make Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    After you add water to this sodium mixture, what about the NaOH byproducts? It is potentially corrosive and therefore not very environmentally friendly.

  6. Re:buy an icon collection on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I like icons from http://www.iconexperience.com/. Their collection has lots of useful icons with consistent look and feel.
