None that I know of, but Firefox, Safari, Chrome, (and Opera?) should have rudimentary support for parts of it, like the video tag, and the canvas tag.
Not that I know if that's what they're referring to though.
All major browers today have very poor HTML 5 support though. It's still not even a finalized standard.
Surely there must be ways to write a test for their students where they are not Internet enabled?
Let them mess up their learning process all they want if that's what they wish.:p It's a bit of a cliche, but it's really true -- "they're only fooling themselves".
Complexity, attack vectors, having to spread out resources to commit to maintaining multiple file systems. I'm not saying I'm an advocate for anything specific here, and I'm not saying Windows is better, I'm just trying to answer your question on why it *can* be a bad idea to just keep pushing out file systems. Of course, Linux might need this direly, and then this fs might be a good idea.
But when you get faced with more and more concrete examples of marketed, play-acted extreme violence, which keep trying to outdo each other, and which any mature, moral person apprehends as soul-deadening
Please show me a "soul-deadening" video game. Any one will do.
And it's FAR more accurate in Visual C++ 2010 too.
This was earlier a problem with code complexity and the peculiarities of the C++ language, but the system has been rewritten and I believe is now based on what the compiler itself will have as its "impression" of the code.
OK, seriously and drama aside, I do think that's a good idea, and it also seem to help as a way to help out with memory management. I always thought Safari sucked a lot of RAM, especially on Windows.
The major downside being that this can only do the equivalent of "vs" searches in Wolfram Alpha; i.e. it can't calculate with the information at all. That and the sources often being dubios at best.
Too bad about its accuracy though. The data is not verified or curated like in Wolfram Alpha, so it's pretty much useless for any purpose other than leisure IMHO. It can also not do anything with the data, unlike WA. It can't even sort it. All it has going for it is that it has a lot of data. But quantity above quality for sure.
Boohoo, god forbid that anybody have to wait a few days for something any more. Seriously, unless you are terminally ill and will likely to die before the official street date, why can't you wait. Don't you have anything better to do?
Maybe the user is interested in the game?
It's as if you ordered a camera and is a photographer. Do you want to wait it to arrive, or have it there to play with now?
It's a physical impossibility to get a shipping by the postal service skip ahead in time, but not with piracy.
Hehe, a bit funny considering the background. This is because the EU now noticed that ISP's are actually now not wanting to do any retention in Sweden, in turn due to the new IPRED law. This is a way for them to partially dodge that law by getting less chances of being able to report users sharing copyright infringing work. The idea is that as their users are reported, they have hopefully already deleted the log entries. Why they are wanting to do that is in turn out of competition reasons. No ISP in Sweden want to be "the ISP where you can more easily get caught for copyright infringement when sharing files". You can read more about the case for one of those ISP's, Bahnhof, here.
OK, I went off on a tangent there. What I think is funny is that the EU is only now paying attention and noticing Sweden didn't adopt that law.:-p It's so apparent that this is in response to all the more ISP's not caring for it, not because they have a check on what Sweden is doing. Or maybe they just don't care until certain laws are dodged in practice out of minimizing bureaucracy. It's hard to tell if it's due to incompetence or bureaucracy, but it's either of them.
Before this change, I could "torrent from Windows" at over 10 Mbps on my connection. You must have been doing it wrong.:S
This is only *half open* outbound TCP connection. At *worst', it will cause a torrent to pick up speed slightly slower, but it won't cap the maximum speed or anything.
Of course I can see them wanting to be attributed for calculations? But what's the problem with that? I *want* to see attribution when a blog, newspaper, or scientific report spits out a series of numbers anyway, especially if it involves something else than raw mathematics, like statistics. That's something I see as important as they can just as well demand it in my opinion. I consider it a service to me.
If there's something that annoy me, it's unsourced calculations. If it's attributed to WA, then I can at least use the same query on WA and in turn see what WA used as sources for that specific query (under the "source information" link at the bottom of each page)
Same here. To the contrary, I have not heard of a single data recovery company that specializes in these things, that have taken a hard drive all zeroes out once and even attempted to repair it. So far, all I know have rejected such drives.

So you're unable to get your point across by spelling words properly?
That part would be the childish thing about this, anyway.
No, it is just about using Microsoft. And hopefully being able to make your point regardless.

Why does it matter?

This won't be launched internationally. right? :-p
I mean, then they'd risk competing with piracy at large, and it seems like they prefer pissing people off instead to get their way in that area. :p
The 7.1% the Pirate Party got gives them one seat. See http://www.val.se/val/ep2009/valnatt/rike/index.html [www.val.se]. It is incredibly unlikely that they'd get another one.
They'll get another one of the Lisbon treaty is passed, an issue the PP is against, but will probably happen anyway.

But they aren't... SEPARATED INTO PROCESSES!

He went on to say that he doesn't 'see why over time that shouldn't happen.'
To keep their users? *shrug*
Sometimes I think the ad model works better here. There are so many other free sources for video these days, especially online-based. :-p
The major downside being that this can only do the equivalent of "vs" searches in Wolfram Alpha; i.e. it can't calculate with the information at all. That and the sources often being dubios at best.
Wolfram Alpha does state its sources involved in generating its answer.

So guys, you kept saying everyone pirates because of DRM. Well, this doesnt have one now. What excuse should we use now?
Inferior distribution network? ;-)
Why aren't these guys officially distributing this game already with BT technology and a password scheme on thesims3.com?
Exactly. :-(

They don't? All calculations generate the sources under the "Source information" link on each page.
wtf?
Advertisement. And it worked!
Perhaps beauty is simply inversely proportional to lip size?
That could be an alternative explanation to these results.
But... But... Gartner says they're a useful institution. Gartner!
