  4. Re:Wrong! Grog is made with rum on First Cocktail 5,000 Years Old · · Score: 1

    Nah. If it's a grogg or a drink only has to do with the way it is mixed.
    A grogg is non-fancy, just some booze and some soda or juice mixed together to hide most of the booze taste.
    A drink is carefully mixed, usually with several types of alcolhol and/or beverages designed to make the drink look and taste good (or in a specific pre-calculated way).

    Drinking grogg is like "make me fucking drunk already, duh!" and drinking drinks is like "make me fucking drunk already, please!". :)

    I think it's more that when HURD was in its initial development and not yet really useful, Linux came from nowhere with a minimal kernel that worked right now so developers could develop the kernel while using it (thanks to the GNU operating system that could be run on top of it), it shifted the focus away from HURD so much that its development almost halted. It's not that they weren't able to, they just changed priorities and focused more on the userland again.

  9. Re:This is fantastic stuff! on Ruby on Rails 0.13 Out Today with AJAX Superpowers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'm in the middle of rewriting that part but here is the logic:

    Make sure textfields are inside a <div class="editable" id="text_id"> and wrap strings in <span class="editable" id="string_id"> where text_id/string_id is the id of the text/string in the database.

    Create a Javascript behaviour that finds all nodes that has class "editable". Prototype comes with the function getElementsByClassName().
    On each div, add a ondblclick event that:
    * creates a textarea node and put it inside the div.
    * hide the old content
    * set value of the textarea to the text content
    * add a submit button that has onclick = "new Ajax(foo);" where foo is the parameters for your ajax call and set it to update the current editable div (so the textarea will be overwritten)
    * the action for the Ajax call should return the output of the saved text.

    do the same for strings but use a input type="text" instead.

  10. This is fantastic stuff! on Ruby on Rails 0.13 Out Today with AJAX Superpowers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've been playing with Rails since september and I've run edge rails (subversion trunk) for about a month while developing my soon-to-be-released rewrite of my site that uses a lot of this Ajax stuff in a user friendly way.

    Users can sort the pictures in their galleries by dragging them to the position they want and doubleclick them to hide them (it then becomes 50% transparent). The user always get immediate feedback without reloading the page thanks to Ajax. For translators the site is inline editable. Just doubleclick on a textfield or alt+click on a string to edit it inline. Click "save" and it's changed. Admin stuff is always available but hidden by default in drawers that you can slide in when you need them so you can be logged in as an admin an change any setting, delete posts etc without needing to go to a separate admin page or have a cluttered interface. You don't even have to reload the page in most cases...

    All this stuff is damn easy to implement thanks to the wonders of Ruby on Rails and the Prototype framework.

  11. Integrated BT is cool... on Opera Embedding BitTorrent Client · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    ..but I rather see that they fix their single-threaded Javascript implementation first. Like adding support for asynchronous callbacks from XMLHttpRequest and not waiting until a previous function has finished befor running the other function started by a different event handler.

    As an example: try adding onmouseover="do_some_stuff(this);" to 10 objects and let the do_some_stuff-function take one second to finish. Then quickly move your mousebutton over the the 10 objects and see Opera execute them in order, taking a total of 10 seconds to finish. All other non-ancient browser runs 10 do_some_stuff() in parallell.

    Oh, and opacity on block-level elements would be nice also :)

    Please don't dismiss the PostgreSQL "zealots" as trolls, most of their points are truly valid as of the latest released MySQL (4.1) and it's outright embarassing to hear people tell developers using MS SQL Server to migrate to MySQL which is a very common thing to hear here on Slashdot and other technical forums with a Linux/OSS bias.

    MySQL 5 is a HUGE leap forward for MySQL and most of the points will probably become moot. Let's just hope they fix the default-value fiasco also...

    When MySQL 5 is released PostgreSQL will get some more Open Source competition and that is a good thing.

    I believe it depends on the situation.. I don't think it's criminal to state that you hate gay people at the dinner table with your friends (even if it could be proven), but if you for example are in a position of power like an employer you are not allowed to say such things to your employees. An employer who treats employees differently because of ethnic group or sexual preference is commiting a crime. Same thing with teachers, politicans or any type of leader (including the leader of a teddybear collectors club*s*).

    But obviuosly this law doesn't apply to religious fundamentalist fuckheads like pastor Åke Green. I wrote a peace about that at the Dekadance website some weeks ago...
