The problem comes in from the splitting of resources between XForms and Web Forms 2. Browser developers aren't necessarily going to work on both, so one will get implemented and the other wont, at least in the short term.
Time is an issue, because Microsoft's solution is possibly only a year away.
So while the Web Forms 2 crowd say there's no conflict in their FAQ, implementers are being put in the position of having to make a decision.
One point in the supressed memory concept is that your subconscious retains the memory. Contrary to your earlier statement, a supressed memory is not erased; only, your conscious self does not recall the memory. So, if this is a supressed memory, it is still roaming around in your mind, and you won't really be able to heal until it is resolved. That's the theory as I understand it. It is also the reason that people are so eager to restore suppressed memories.
I think that's somewhat to do with the politicising of repressed memories. I'm quite happy to leave mine hidden. My life is just fine with it buried away, never to be remembered. Sure, it's hurt my relationships with boats and boat propellers, but I can deal with those not in my life, thanks very much:)
Even if I shut my eyes, I would still recall the event. I simply have no memory of that moment in time. It's like watching a video and noticing that a few seconds have been cut out. The flow of the video either side is continuous, but those few seconds are completely gone.
I don't see why people find this so incredibly difficult to believe. It's quite straight forward, and repressed memories actually aren't considered to be an imaginary concept, like the earlier poster made out. They're quite common, and I have a personal example of one of the starkest varieties of them.
Just because some children have fabricated memories whilst under hypnosis, suddenly every case of repressed memories must be bunk? What bullshit.
Do you remember a loud noise, which seemed to drown out everything around you?
I was underwater. No loud noise.
It is likely you would have been looking at it. You might not have felt it, as pain takes some time to set in, especially if it is extreme pain. You may not have had enough time to have felt the event as it happened (sensory overload).
I was 100% definitely looking at it, because I saw the propeller coming towards me, right up to the moment before contact. I didn't say I would have felt pain, I said I would have felt it.
My theory is that whatever memory you might have of the event is only a very weak signal, because your awareness of the event was limited, and hardly recorded.
No. Everything recalled in the seconds previous to and after the event are incredibly strong memories. The contact itself, I have no visual or sensual memory of at all. It's been blacked out. It was recorded, probably in excruciating detail, then removed.
At no time was I unconscious. I exchanged shouted words with someone from the boat, seconds after I resurfaced. them: "Hey! It's alright!" me: [looks into water] "No. Everything's not alright".
I didn't lose consciousness soon after, during, or at all that day. Every detail of the day is recorded in stark, unforgettable detail, except for the gory moment of contact, that I was looking directly at. It was blacked out.
I'm not sure I'm understanding you right. You're saying you think there's no such thing as repressed memories? I can't see that anyone could argue such a thing in the face of all the counter evidence.
I, for one, know for absolute certain that repressed memories exist. I suffered a very traumatic and gory accident when I was 13. I have vivid memories of the details right up to and right after the event, but have absolutely no memory of the moment of the accident. I know for certain that I would have seen it with my eyes, and would have felt it, but yet I have no recollection of seeing it or feeling it.
I can reasonably safely assume that I had recollection of the event immediately afterwards, as I recall immediately looking to the part of my body where it happened. So my mind must have blanked the event out sometime shortly after that.
Repressed memories exist. I imagine it's to do with the mind blocking out events which are so traumatic that we wouldn't be able to cope with reliving them in thought.
Oh, for the record, my accident was having one of my legs sliced repeatedly by a boat propeller. It's the kind of thing you'd think you'd remember.
Oops. Too late. "Optimizing volume "Innie": 95% complete". I'm guessing it's a bit too late in the game to worry about disconnecting the firewire drives:-/

Indeed. The irony is the comment opened with a negative reference to a paper on how people with substandard knowledge often presume themselves to be more capable than they are. Looks like he walked right into that one.
Well to be fair, Dashboard's implementation is airily similar to Konfabulator's. They both are either XML or HTML based and use Javascript. But on the other hand, I'd be more inclined to say that's a sign of the times more than anything else.
I know the feeling. Even though I'm impressed with where other distributions have got themselves to, I can't settle into any other than Debian because I just don't know where to find important files in them.
I went the same way and ended up in OS X. Debian still on the servers though.
I regularly do X-less Debian installs from tiny netinst CD images. A base Debian install includes just the bare essentials and nothing more. I guess you haven't tried Debian.

Insightful? Either grossly ill informed or a troll.
a) If it's crashing regularly, something's wrong. It's not supposed to do that. Get it fixed. That's what everyone else does instead of whining about it.
b) Hold down the power button for hard reset. Taking the battery out is not necessary.
c) If you want second button click for your trackpad, get Sidetrack.
I've basically just repeated someone else's reply word for word, but I don't have mod points and these things need to be ground in to you anyway. Your whining is annoying.
So you're saying that if a product is lacking a particular feature that users have come to expect as standard, then we should just politely ignore the omission and say nothing of it?
If I'm in the market for a new car, and the model that I'm interested in doesn't have power stearing, I'd like to know.
For me, it was in the range of $700 they were going to hold forever. I did actually get them to release it, without jumping through the hoops they required. I wrote up an email stating that they were putting me out of business and apartment, and cc'd it to webmaster/postmaster/support/abuse@paypay.com/ebay.com. Oh, I think I cc'd a few others as well.
I never got a single email reply (infact, through the whole dispute I never received a single human written email), but the money did turn up in my bank account a week later.
Uhh, no. To receive compensation you only need to have opened an account with Paypal during the specified dates (~1999 - 2004).
Even if you want to do the long form, and apply for a bigger piece of the pie, you only have to show that they didn't deal appropriately with the resolution of an issue.
Actually it doesn't exclude all countries that they work in other than the US. I'm a customer located in New Zealand, who was royally fucked over by them, and the text of the letter and site does not exclude New Zealand.
Of course, I can't actually get any money out of them, because you bastards Slashdotted the site as I was half way through filling out the form:) Maybe tomorrow I'll have more luck.
Oh, but the form insists you give it a valid US zip code. That aint gonna happen, considering my country doesn't even use zip codes.
The fact remains that God did not want them to eat from the tree. He didn't want them to have knowledge.
What exactly he was punishing them for is secondary to his rationale for denying them the privilege in the first place.
It also doesn't change the basis of religious belief, which is to take on faith things that you have no real knowledge or proof of. It's a fundamentally opposed system to science.
Considering a 2GB DVD is actually quite small, and your average DVD movie is more around the 4GB mark, compressing it to 500MB without significant loss is actually quite easily done.
Yes you'd have to sacrifice video resolution and audio quality, but not to any major degree. I think you're setting your standards too high when you say you require 1.3GB at least, and the parent poster's claim of 1/4 size is actually reasonably fair.

I don't know what you're talking about. I've got a 12" Powerbook and the keyboard is Just Right(tm). I have reasonably average sized hands.
Revisions of the Powerbook line are expected in a matter of weeks. The current models have been end of lined and stocks are depleting.
The upcoming Powerbook revisions aren't expected to be G5s, but will have speed boosts, graphics boosts, and a few other rumoured upgrades.
