Where do you hget the idea that I might think that? I was just relating *my* story. Sorry if it bother you that I happened to work at a subsidiary of Microsoft in particular. Gee.
Software patents are patently ridiculous. When I worked for a subsidiary of Microsoft, I was harassed (it's how I felt, being interrupted from writing code for what I perceived as silliness) into helping finding any angle in the code which could be turned into a patent, and to help with the serious-sounding language to describe the patent. I'm ashamed my name is out there attached to silly laughable software patents which purpose is just to perform the obvious.
What part of the code causes other HTML5-enabled browsers to fail?
(I would try to figure on my own if only it did not require to sign-in onto Amazon, which I boycott because of their handling of Wikileaks.)
'The idea that a car runs free, those days are about to close.'
"About to close"? Laugh at mental picture of hordes of people trapped in long rush hours jams on a at least twice a day basis for years feeling like their cars has been running free all that time.
I will be glad to pay you directly for your work. The problem really is the greedy dinosaurs between you and me who try hard to stay relevant despite technological advances.
I like the idea, there are already nice HTML5 charts library out there (ex.: http://www.rgraph.net/examples/index.html), so if this can be reused in Excel, that makes sense.
(05:13:21 PM) bradass87: oh, btw... china has a massive botnet
(05:13:31 PM) bradass87: 45+ million, grows 100,000 every two weeks
(05:14:44 PM) bradass87: it pings eucom and pacom servers every two weeks at the same time... spread out slightly to prevent the bandwidth from being detected (it was identified at 20 million in late 2008)
(05:15:53 PM) bradass87: 45+ million ip addresses... i figure they must have a pre-installed system on consumer electronics
(05:20:00 PM) bradass87: are you familiar with the Byzantine problem sets?
(05:22:15 PM) info@adrianlamo.com: nope
(05:23:10 PM) bradass87: Byzantine is the code word for all the chinese infiltration problem sets... the ones that get.mil info... as well as penetrate google (like what became public earlier this year)
(05:23:16 PM) bradass87: yahoo, etc
(05:23:23 PM) bradass87: mostly.gov and.mil
(05:23:46 PM) bradass87: there are several sub-problem sets...
(05:24:15 PM) bradass87: Byzantine Candor, for instance
(05:24:51 PM) bradass87: its what 95% of information warfare people work on in DoD
(05:25:15 PM) bradass87: china can knock out any network in the world with a DDos
(05:36:07 PM) bradass87: their gateways throughout the world are clearly identified, and are being tracked carefully
Essentially, if you don't defend yourself, then your trademark is automatically weakened
"defend"? They were attacked? Sounds more like the opposite to me... In any case, they prevented "weakening" of their trademark by weakening their brand (seriously, who likes bully corp. lawyers?)
The main processor is an ARM-based application processor with... 128 MB of Ram...
There is a picture of Firefox running (along with console, Inkscape or whatever that is). I am currently running Linux, and when I look at the Firefox process, it shows 186MB used. So.... 128MB of RAM, really?
Ugh, I cut my teeth when 1200 bds was bleeding edge... Not sure that I agree completely with the author though. Whether a programmer write efficient code depends on his natural skills, not when they were born. Regardless of whether one programmed in assembly in some distant past in order to squeeze every single CPU cycle they could, I think natural skills is what matters most. Bad programmers back then when resources were very limited, would still suck big time nowadays producing efficient HTML/PHP/Javascript.
I agree that it is very useful to know how things really work under the hood, and good programmers, past or present, tend to naturally inquire about "what is behind," so even today's naturally skilled programmers will do as well as naturally skilled programmers of the past IMO.
My problem in this distant past is that I was on a never ending quest to save yet another CPU cycle, even if it meant zilch to the end-user. I eventually understood that shipping a product is quite important, and changed my focus to convince management that "shipping a product that doesn't suck is quite important," and all went well from then on.
inferring global warming from a 3 Martian year regional trend is unwarranted. The observed regional changes in south polar ice cover are almost certainly due to a regional climate transition, not a global phenomenon, and are demonstrably unrelated to external forcing. There is a slight irony in people rushing to claim that the glacier changes on Mars are a sure sign of global warming, while not being swayed by the much more persuasive analogous phenomena here on Earth
Oh and Mars' atmosphere is almost all CO2, you didn't hear about this?

Cameron should shut up, with plans like that, he will just instigate more and larger riots.

Since it's the "Chinese official Xinhua news agency", the readers will understand that whatever they read, the truth is actually the opposite.
