Uuum, and so is everybody else in there. Believe me, IBM doesn’t like MS fucking up W3C. And so do the others.
But I agree about election in general. Just that that is even easier to subvert, since people are cattle. Look at the government elections. That is what would happen. Only worse.
If, then it should be decided by competent people. election power = competence. election actual choice = election power * election choice. competence = measured by others with competence. The only problem is, how to start this. And I’m still not sure that this can’t be subverted just as easily.
What do you think the W3C is? It’s exactly that! And believe it or not, parts of the most important standards even came from Microsoft people. They are not all evil, you know.
I’m very happy that we now, for the first time, finally have all browsers support one single set of standards (XHTML 1.x / CSS 2.x / DOM 2 / JS), by listening to the W3C again. Instead of the chaos of the entire 90s and 00s!
What strange policies are you talking about? I find the work of the W3C nice. They care. Which is obvious, since they are the browser makers, amongst other interested groups.
And that’s Haskell compilers, fail at every single of those unsafe casts. By language definition.
Sure, you can do sloppy stuff in Haskell too. But it requires writing out a function name that basically says "I am doing sloppy coding, and what I write right now is nasty shit that should never happen!"
Finally. One daring little company, and we finally move forward. Thumbs up for the Colorado mavericks.
Hah. Shutdown pending in 3... 2... 1...
Better than you, asshat! I bet you would have said the same about the guy who tried to assassinate Hitler.
Cut your crab mentality! An attitude like yours is the reason we can’t change anything in the countries of the world. It’s the reason people did not stand up and chased Hitler, or Mobutu, or Cheney, or Kim-Jong Il or Stalin out of the country.
You should be ashamed of yourself. If only for not doing something.
Well, if you’re the loser who lets her get trough with that behavior, it’s your own damn fault. Set rules of what you find acceptable, and what not. And stand by them! Ok, actually you should have started with that when you saw her the first time, as it’s a bit late now.
It’s sad how many man think that a woman will like them more, if they say yes and amen to everything. When in fact it’s much more attractive if you know what you want and have your rules. It feels safe to enter such a world. And safety and stability is very important if you want to invest a third of your life in children.
Bullshit! They care if they can get books and other PDFs for FREE on their reader, by simply copying them via USB. Even my grandma would care for that.
And that’s only possible with open readers.
Besides: Some cheap Chinese company will not give a flying fuck about DRM, and throw out e-readers, just like they throw out DVD and MP3 players right now.
So in essence the best thing to do, is to use ZFS with regular scrubbing on mirrored drives (triple-mirrored is best, as proven in aerospace design). But without ever changing your running system, so it can’t break, and then move the data out to whatever replaces it, if the stream of replacement parts starts to run dry.
That’s the problem with every non-live backup solution, including paper: You never know if you’ll get your data back, unless you try. And if you do, then you can run a live system that automates it, anyway.
I've said this a thousand times before: Make Wikipedia a P2P project without a single control, and build a cascading network of trust relationships on top of it (think CSS rules, but on articles instead of elements, and one CSS file per user, perhaps including those of others), and you solve all problems with then not-existing central authorities, and so also with censorship.
The only caveat: People have to learn again, who to trust and who not. (Example of where this fails: Political parties and other groups with advanced social engineering / rhetorics / mass psychology skills, like marketing companies.)
Man, you all complain about fingerprint scanners, and then you use something that is just as insecure.
I use a smart-card in a class 3 reader with display and pinpad. The key never leaves the reader. And in case of danger, I just need to destroy the card.
Of course I’m still fucked, if someone manages to get the card intact and tries to torture me. Or just if someone is just ignoring that I just wrecked my own and only access to the system. (But at least my data will be safe, when I’m beat to pulp.;)
(The only solution to that would be a storage that destroys itself if its timer is not reset from time to time. And the timer could only be reset with the use of the card and key.)
You got it the wrong way around. Those ideas are not what we actually declared “war” on. But the people behind them.
And I think a real actual war with weapons and all, against the ACTA-proponents, would be a good thing. Ok, it would only last about half a day, and then everyone from the MAFIAA would be shot... But hey, it would still be worth it.;)
Hmm, the word “freedom” is used as a newspeak word, meaning something quite different (whatever fitted the greed for power), for a long time already. But the EU-countries are not really that much better. They mostly try to imitate the US anyway. And badly too.
Luckily, this very article proves that not all is bad. By far.
Also, while the media likes to portrait it as if the people of the US and the EU hate each other, actually it couldn’t be further from the truth. We hate Cheney. And fighting pointless wars. But 1. we BOTH hate that. And 2. what does that have to do with the people, rather than the governments?:) Unless we have met someone personally, we still can’t judge him, can we?:)
So only dumb people would get angry over your comment.
You’re supposed to use JavaScript libraries for interpolation support.
In fact I wrote my first animation library with interpolation in 2003. It allowed you to fade between any two CSS classes. And your time line was a list of such CSS classes with time codes. Worked beautifully and fast, even back then. I wrote it in one and a half days.
Oh, and about SVG and gzip: I don’t think there’s still a professional site out there that doesn’t use Apache’s compression functionality. It’s a simple matter of cutting your bandwidth costs in half.

Bullshit! ;)

Are you even a web developer?

The conventional wisdom is that open source is risky.
No. The conventional wisdom is, that open source is much much safer!
Who wrote this? Some PHBtard?
Speak for yourself, Mr. FullOfYourself!
I think seeing a big impressive machine is always cool. It’s the same reason I like hearing about the newest supercomputer.

Tell them it’s the latest fashion craze, and let them do it themselves!
Worked for rubber boots in the summer for girls, so it will work for rubber caps too.

What if I’m not thinking of a picture at all?
What if I’m not even thinking of something that can be sensed by any human sense, as it is an abstract/fantasy concept/thing/feeling?

One of them seriously thought Windows started with 95.
Well, there you have someone who won’t get your work anytime soon. ^^
Maybe it would be cheaper if she could lose a biiiit of weight. ;) ;)
One or two tons should suffice.
My Roomba does not parse your puny robots.txt! But you still show me everything that I want to see, even if you could deny it. So: MUHAHAHAHAAA!
Well, he should have mentioned that.

Which of course is futile, since they hire people without papers anyway. Just like in every other country where you need papers to get a job.
And they know that. So it’s not to keep off the “illegal immigrants” at all.
But VirtualBox is actually faster, if you disable the use of CPU virtualization functions. (And faster than any other VM I’ve tried.) Look it up.
