Fuck that, i'd rather have a flawed standard followed to the letter on all major browsers than 10 totally incompatable half-hearted implementations of the same format making even simple tasks such as positioning a box on the screen a fucking nightmare. Microsoft should follow the standard in their 'strict' mode and do whatever they want in the other modes.
..we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the web and P2P, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the wireless networks, we shall defend our warez, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight in the bedrooms, we shall fight on the internet cafes, we shall fight in the universities and in the schools, we shall fight in the ISPs; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this filesharing or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our warez beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the Chinese hackers, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World.mp3, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the RIAA.
If you were to accidentally post them here, slashdotters would all back you up in confirming that it was indeed an accidental posting after your hand slipped on your keyboard..
"If there is any good news in the story it is that the 35% figure represents a substantial reduction from the 71% who fell for the ruse in 2001."
The other good news comes from knowing that 35% of IRS employees have now been suspended pending contract review, re-training or dismissal. Darwin in action.
Wait WhoTF uses Java instead of for example PHP server side and WhatTF are they smoking? Likewise, who uses PHP on the client side browser and HowTF did they do it?
Which is why its so important that this language dies. Do you want _new_ programmers entering the competitive market what with outsourcing and fancy 'memory management'?
And the BBC needs to advertise Dr. Who because...?
I think its more likely someone in an advertising company read that slashdot story and thought "hey, leaking stuff on the net as viral marketing, good idea, lets pretend that the BBC is our client and that we told them to do that so people will think we rock"
Im not inciting anyone to do anything of course but I think it would be beneficial if there accidentally happened to be a worm on the loose that converted people to firefox and disguised it as IE - just to push the un-washed masses into whats good for them. The greatest problem in the web industry is the lack of one single browser with one single standard and one set of bugs, firefox is the answer and unless IE 7 can do everything that FF can do _and_ is cross-platform its just not helping the issue.
Yes I can see the security issue with having everyone use one browser but at the moment its something like 70%/20%/5%/5% which means developers have to pull their hair out making things work in every browser and security holes still fuck everyone over.
Er? yeah amazingly innovative features there

IE7 Details Emerge

So basically its going to be like firefox? except firefox is already here now and has been all year. I must say im looking forward to png support as a web designer its pretty sad that this format has been totally ruined because microsoft fucked up the display on the worlds biggest browser.
Raytracing is fine the real issue is radiosity ie how light reflected from all objects shiney or dull interacts with other objects, maybe this does it well?
Even a relatively low-power signal is now approaching the power range of a microwave oven.
Great, now not only does biometrics encourage would-be ID thieves to cut off peoples fingers or make a copy (which cant be changed like a pin), but RFID is going to start groups pointing microwave guides at people and firing out 800W.
Don't be so sure its not out of reach, it certainly doesn't have to be anywhere near half a mile, less than a meter is more than enough for most pick-pockets and those with more sinister agendas. I see absolutely no need for RFID in cards, swipe and smart cards have worked fine for years, sure they wear out but if people are so fucking lazy that they can't cope with getting a new card every couple of years then they can bloody well have their details and serial numbers tatooed on their head.
Now all we need is some sci-fi esque program that runs when you get in and start the car, it has to have some sort of voice to welcome you and in green-screen run through all the cars systems listing their status and then showing a 3D wireframe of the car and noting that the rear left tire has slightly lower tred than normal but is still within operating safety parameters and that it will notify the mechanic at the next check-up.
Even worse, the PearPC side comes up with basically the equivalent of a smoking gun, bloody finger prints, CCTV, DNA and a man with red hands and he just makes a press release saying "sometimes variables and functions have the same name, damn a load of people would love to be able to use that excuse in other areas "well you see, sometimes in order to tell the same story a film will end up being identical to another.. frame for frame.."
Meanwhile the US government can arrest people without so much as opening an evidence bag.
I don't think anyone (12 year olds maybe?) actually thought Honda invented it, it was done in at least 20 films already its now a cliché, kinda like the way bullet time became famous in the matrix (and any film that attempts even a second of bullet time instantly relegates itself to crappy cliché), Honda gave it a come-back and did it particularly well, at first i was pretty sure at least half of it was done with 3D graphics (the speakers for example) and it fits the advert to a tee, not like some ideas that seemed to be just stuck in an advert because someone thought it would be cool.
Does this mean they will write patches faster and the general public will get them in around the same time they do now, or that they will write patches at the same speed and the public will just have to wait an extra month? Either way, open source communities will probably patch things faster and important organisations can hire extra staff to patch things faster still.
I thought Australia had a law that stopped them extraditing people to countries where those people were likely to face human rights abuses such as torture, execution and right-wing conservatives?
This is why we should thank Microsoft, for years they have consistently produced API's and architectures that are both confusing and full of bugs and special cases, not only that, they have also pioneered the area of rolling out new technologies that do little but serve to confuse. Although the *nix world has managed to gain respect as a 'master craft' of computing wizards making magic with vi and other 2 letter commands, more often than not unix architecture is to the point and sometimes stands for decades, Microsoft on the other hand have created literally millions of jobs, and interfacing windows and *nix based systems has created millions more, i solute you.
trace/printf/cout is enough debugging for anyone. now on a side note does anyone know where i can get the c/c++ equivelent of php's print_r function?
Because they seduce you with hooks! most of them are just taken from old songs and wrapped up with new throw-away lyrics, they play them on the radio, on tv, in shops, everywhere! some times you are powerless to resist, afterwards you must hear the song again before it drives you mad, soon its 1 am and you can't sleep - its like a merry-go-round in your head and you end up on some seedy P2P network trying to download it. Its subliminal advertising i tell you!
Yeah that would have been funnier, but strict rhymes better with dick.. er fuck it doesnt even rhyme that well. Anyway point being, just because someone has lost a child to something and they are very upset about it doesnt mean that something needs to be banned without question, clouded judgement shouldnt spread like a herpes.
In a free trade economy that would be fine - Intel would just be buying a service from company A and that service would be the ignoring of AMD. However no economy works like that, governments want to keep things stable and predictable and so things like this are not legal, if this was allowed then there would be a sudden surge/snowball-effect in the market as everyone decided if they wanted to go with Intel and block AMD or go with AMD and loose profit on Intel, in the end there would be a good chance that AMD would have no customers, fire about 20,000 people and loose its value, which could have a knock-on effect on other businesses and everyone would be running around like headless chickens and scaring the government.
I know the name of my phone company, what data they hold about me, where they got it from, who they give it to (if i say they can give it to anyone), that its safe by law and correct and that i can see it any time i want. But i don't live in the US, you guys need data protection.

I was implying that the RIAA are the 'old' but they need to be liberated of their own insanity.
Ok you got me im an RIAA spy and im taking down all your user names for evidence..

which faces ongoing competition from Web open-source scripting tools, such as PHP, and Microsoft's .Net line of tools.
What im saying is how has Java faced competition from PHP, only fools use jsp

Amazon UK's data protection register entry, looks like it just expired too.
