  1. JavaScript... on JavaScript : The Definitive Guide, 4th Edition · · Score: 1

    ...is a full blown programming language and as with anything that works, it can be used in good and bad ways; so please spare me with the popup bla. JavaScript is the most compatible way of applying client side programming logic for internet applications today (it's been some time since we where talking about mere web pages) and is the best in what it does. This book is indeed the best in it's category (and I've been over a number of books on the subject, as well as several on-line tutorials); I bought it the day it came out. It can be used as a refference as well as a way to learn the language. Another piece of good work by Flanagan.

  2. Re:New bookmarklets for Mozilla on Mozilla 1.1 Beta Out And About · · Score: 1

    Cant we simply have the source for that?

  3. Um.... on Controlling An Embedded Device Using Flash · · Score: 1

    ...can't people just use more open stuff like SVG and DOM scripting?


  4. I used to... on New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS · · Score: 1

    ... love Amigas. I remember dreaming about 4000T and even a clone named draco (or something). Slick mean graphics machines with a great OS. I have no idea about the current status, is there any Amiga Os or something or some new *2n*x flavor?

  5. errrrrr... on Star Wars-like Holograms · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... can we classify ghosts as 'legasy systems' now?

  6. You wheren't expecting that... on Complete Net Cafe Shutdown After Beijing Fire · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... the Chinese gov would admit it's responsibilities regarding the incident did you? If the internet cafe was allowed to be legal, no emergency exits would be locked. Sorry, no sig.

  7. Re:You guys crack me up.. on Surveillance Update · · Score: 1
    I'm surprised you guys don't all have ulcers and hemherroids from constant worrying. The rest of the country just goes back to whatever they were doing the day before. Two things:
    • Sheep usually demonstrate the same kind of behaviour.
    • Actually, most alive beings (including humans) cannot focus on things they fail to evaluate or understand.
  8. Variety, tall legs on Is Evolution Over In Humans? · · Score: 1

    'human populations are now being constantly mixed, again producing a blending that blocks evolutionary change.' This is probably against everything I know about evolution as defined by Darwin (meaning the guy, not any software project). Genetic evolution is very much based and effected by variety. It's not a coinsidence that mixing races produces beautifull people (and women with legs that are above my head).

  9. Re:Hierarchical == Object-Oriented Databases? on With XML, is the Time Right for Hierarchical DBs? · · Score: 1

    Object-oriented databases would not only serve for simple XML data; they would be quite usefull in holding RDF(S) statements without ruining everything... currently i strip RDF tags of the markup to store them in an RDBMS (and almost any XML for that matter).

  10. Re:IE compatibility on Gecko May Replace IE In AOL/CompuServe · · Score: 1

    IE compatibility. Sheeeeeeeeeesh, everything IE has that Mozilla hasn't, is a bigger script object library that just resides on the windows OS.

    What about IE compatibility to standards?

    Script? We're still in JavaScript1.2 (I think).

    CSS? The damn thing doesn't even recognise the elementary selector syntax.

    XML? II'm tired of seen extensions to the DOM, but not the actual DOM spec (I even heard they halted the errata at W3C because it would mark most DOM implementations useless).

    XSLT? The output element has been stripped of it's functionality (that dan incoding issues are a constant pain). Lot's of other bugs. MSXML extensions should work fine though...

    (X)HTML? What IE thinks of HTML, can be seen by the innerHTML property. All elements in upercase, quotes stripped off by values (I had to use an applet to fix this one for my web apps).

    I am really happy about Mozilla not being compliant with IE...

    Just my thoughts.
