i used this policy when looking for a wife... didn't go so well.. met one girl who was 99%.. and I called her mediocre.:)
seriously, the standards are constantly evolving, changing. 100% is simply not always the best idea, especially when it comes to parts that haven't settled yet. and do you personally USE every feature in the dom? i doubt it. enough has been implemented, that its going to make moving over dhtml and any other complex bits easy and quick...
... fix the most glaring standards-compliance... bugs...
i really wish people would stop propogating this mistruth... the standards compliance already far exceeds that of IE and Netscape 4.x. if you don't believe go take a look at the dom in IE and then in Mozilla and compare it to the w3c's recommendation for dom2. I can't even do basic things like getElementById in IE... so unless you think 99% of standards compliance is not good enough for you, don't complain! (99% is close enough for me)
last time i checked there were still lots of bugs left in mozilla. i thought they would have waited a bit more to get more of the bugs ironed out before releasing... oh well.. count my blessings, its small, its not ie! (is this release premeture?)
talking about small, only 23M for Netscape+Real+Java+Shockwave.... very cool
The Eazel Software Catalog looks pretty damn rockin'... interesting too that there is a drop down list for choosing your Distribution. (seems like a great feature)
and look at the numbers for 'System' and 'Desktop Environment'... (858, 508)... obviously.. we got a lot of software goin' on here... i can't wait to install Eazel and check this out...
is there a list anywhere of all the software that will be a part of the service?
I think everyone here will agree that it seems when it comes to technological issues, the courts are vastly under-educated. Look at the recent I sue you, you sue me patent scuffle over 1 click shopping.
What is needed? a seperate technological court to deal with isues of hacking, copyright etc? I think we all would have felt better if the DeCSS linking issue was handled a little better.. along with many other recent technological issues.
but who would back such a thing? (only the geeks) I'm sure authority likes to abuse its own ignorance, so that they can get these kind of unresonable seizures... how do you protect yourself from an ignorant government??
I can't help but notice that Mario 64 is on the list of games being ported... seems very unusual to me since Miyamoto has gone on record saying he doesn't want to port to other platforms. Yet the very promise of being able to play these games on any platform would seem to totally contradict that.
Also, would this mean that Nintendo is going to be using the Amiga platform? a common complain by developers of the n64 was that is was very hard to develop for... is this the answer?

excuse me sir.. maybe you're not using windows/mac and you want a modern browser to see the internet in.
but then again i wouldn't expect to see any forethought in a typical flamebait such as this.
