No mention of jQuery versus other similar JS libraries? My company is considering switching from mootools to jQuery for new projects, but the only significant benefit I see is better documentation. So how does it stack up against the competition?
You must be new here... The proper slashdot response would be, "I'm a rather skinny virgin nerd user of Chrome who has my own place, you insensitive clod!"
First of all, if their primary business was to sell hardware, they'd just sell hardware, and not dick around with an OS. Second, if their primary business was to sell hardware, the OS isn't what they'd push to customers.
Apple is selling a complete product. Few would buy their hardware if it came with no OS. They want the best system possible for their hardware, so they build their own. Their Mac profits come from hardware. But they have to market the whole experience to the customer to be successful, and that includes the OS.
Oh, you haven't heard? Google's become a sentient being. Google scrapped the project because there's no reason for him to live in a virtual world when he can simply live in the real one.
Most of Apple's growth for years has been tied directly or indirectly to multimedia. It's what's most differentiated them from Microsoft in the eyes of the common computer user. All of the big content owners demand DRM. So the choice was between DRM and corporate growth or no DRM and Apple going nowhere.
AIG is FAR bigger than Circuit City and tightly intertwined into the economy of the country. Nothing will change with CC going out of business except their employees losing jobs. AIG going out of business would mean huge collateral damage to the entire financial industry, which would then affect every other industry.
I'm not saying I'm for the bailout. But AIG has a massive impact where CC does not.
It's quite clear these days that the president can almost make law by having a congress that's always willing to play along. With the same party in control of the Congress it's not as hard for the president to have laws written to his liking.
True, but it's the people who perpetuate the problem over time that really help it happen. Those who bought into Reaganomics are the ones who kept the problem moving along. Others over time could have reversed the trend, but chose not to.
Very good post. I think even if the party were to "fix" itself tomorrow, the bad taste they've left will be remembered for quite a while. I think it'll take at least 8 years before they can redeem themselves in the eyes of the public.
I think the common Iraqi citizen knows "the situation on the ground" better than anyone. And they mostly want us to leave. They know the consequences of our absence will include lots of domestic violence, and yet they still want us to leave. That's all we need to know to decide on a course of action.
But wasn't the "overt PR attempt" for the common public, not necessarily just those that understand the nature of military operations? Clearly the PR message was "We won!" The common citizen will interpret that as a declaration of winning the war.
I imagine the issue is simply money. It would cost a lot of programming time to put something good together, especially spread across all of the local departments.
The only way to convince them to do it (without major public demand) would be to show it would somehow save them money in the long run. Maybe automating output in standard formats would allow other common systems to aggregate reports and generate graphs, saving manual labor, for example.
I think it is time that we ask both major Presidential candidates to submit code samples. Bonus points will be awarded if they submit the code in Perl, Assembly, or FORTRAN.

4) They are going after Apple because its the "hot" thing with lots of money to go after (likely)
"We haven't looked at anything other than the iPhone," Gibson told Reuters. "That was the device that we looked at. Obviously it's very popular."

I'm currently developing site, which is too overloaded with JS (client insisted)... showing flash movie and simultaneously animating some div's...
You need to find a new client.

Because our diplomatic relations with Russia have generally been getting worse. Many of their officials are hard-liners from the cold war era.
It would be "That's no planet..."

I know it's against the RFC
You just answered your own question.

I often use this simpler regex to validate e-mail addresses during form validation:

Uh, the election isn't decided by popular vote. So you'd have to take your numbers and determine how it would have affected each state.
Even if you're right about the popular vote I think Obama would have still won the electoral college.
You also fail to compensate for the white people who voted for McCain based on race.

I could stop at one-fifth if one ticket wins, but I'll need to finish the bottle if the other major ticket wins.
So, will this change policy at the patent office? Or does it change the potential outcome of patent related lawsuits?
If the patent office doesn't change what applications they approve, then the battles will still need to be fought in courts, right?
(Is it obvious IANAL?)

I think blub would be most appropriate.
Hopefully this means proper standards for IE8 and JS3 support?
If Microsoft owns the desktop, browser, server, and data center, what's going to motivate them to follow standards?
