  1. IE's biggest problem on IE11 To Support WebGL · · Score: 1

    IE's problem isn't particular support in one area or another, it's that they take years to release new versions, thereby falling behind other browsers. They are never that bad on release, but fall behind other browsers that strive to remain current. But IE8 still has ~10% marketshare, and that was released 4 years ago. IE6 finally became negligible 2 years ago, after 10 years.

    But they're starting to get better, IE10 was the least bad version and it only took them ~17 months to release it after IE9.

    How about:
    Mentally health people don't go mow down other human beings for no good reason - only those with severe mental deficiencies do.

    Assuming orders are a good reason.

    The addition of the "No" does not contradict:

  6. Re:By The Numbers on IE 10 Almost Finished For Windows 7 With Final Preview · · Score: 1

    October 2008 - October 2009 IE had 61.67% of the worldwide share compared with 35.14% in the past year. Compared with 62.84% in the US down to 43.4%. (And compared with 85-95% of the market in the early 2000s)

    Also, each proceeding version is less popular than the last starting with 6.

    And the w3schools shows IE with a high of 88% in March 2003, and October 2012, it had 16.1%.

    GP greatly exaggerated IE's demise, but it's not faring well.

  11. Re:Reasonable Goals Already Accomplished on Space Vs. Poverty Debate In India · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The point of going to space was not simply to say, "we've done it." but all the advances it caused us to make, and to be able to better explore the universe, we need to start somewhere.
    And we're still reaping the rewards of having raced to space.

    If you're really really good at Starcraft, you could end up a pro-gamer in Korea, which would put you in the same ranks in their society as a NFL player is here.

    Depends on the kid, I guess. My dad was all about Sci-Fi and fantasy. And because of that, so was I. But he didn't try to push on me, but rather encouraged it. Not to say the things he pushed on me I hated, but that wasn't one of those things.

    "On most university campuses, CS grew out of mathematics or engineering departments, not (ahem) from accounting or business departments, according to Williams and others."

    You mean a specialized mathematics degree started in mathematics and engineering departments and not in departments that are completely unrelated? SHOCKER!
