  1. For those Getting Started... on The Current State of Ajax · · Score: 1

    There is a great AJAX API/ToolKit for those just getting started. It is the easiest I have used so far in any of my applications.. It is called "AJFORM". I do not remember the URL however.

  2. It may run ON Linux... on Palm OS To Run On Linux · · Score: 1

    But does it _RUN_ linux?

  3. Re:Time to rename IBM? on IBM Puts PC Business Up for Sale · · Score: 1

    Thats no better than:

    "So, would you like to buy a service contract from IBM?"

    "You what? Well.. err the restroom is right down the hall."

  4. Re:um...pay per unique visit? Hello??? on Google Battles Fraudulent Clicks · · Score: 1

    They already do that. The problem is that you can gather a list of say 2,000 proxies and really go to town with it.

  5. Re:Netscape is ruining the purpose of FireFox. on AOL Releases Netscape Beta, Based on Firefox · · Score: 1

    90210 actually IS my zip code.

  6. Calculating Contract Rates on Switching to Contracting? · · Score: 1

    To calculate the equivalent contract rate of a base salary, divide your yearly base salary by 2000 and that will give you your hourly rate.

    Example:

    ($100,000 / 2000) would be $50 per hour

  7. replaced files on Shootout: 'rm -Rf /' vs. 'Format C:' · · Score: 1

    From TFA...

    "I began to get dialog boxes which popped up informing me, not that files were missing, but that files had been replaced with unrecognized versions. I find this to be a very misleading message considering files had not been replaced, but removed from the system entirely."

    The explanation for this is that windows will actually replace some files which are deleted. But if you have security updates installed, it may replace the system with older files. One prime example of this is if you delete iexplore.exe (internet explorer).

  8. Re:Fishy? on Blackboxvoting.org Raises Vote-Audit FOIA Request · · Score: 1

    this is, as of right now, purely correlatory

  9. Re:Mozilla tool to make it truly the default brows on Firefox Shooting For 10 Percent · · Score: 1

    No, DO NOT do this! I have tried this and windows will actually create a new IEXPLORE.EXE and it will create a lot of random problems.

  10. Right Tool for the Right Job(TM) on OSDDP: Involving Students With Open Source Docs · · Score: 1

    At the risk of being modded down into oblivion I will say that your question touches on one of the very reasons that the now almost defunct jabberdoc.org saw such great demise. Despite pleas from the Jabber community to release JabberDoc under the Creative Commons, the JabberDoc team decided to go with the GNU Free Documentation License instead. This led to many restrictive policies as well as bureaucratic confusion. You can read more about it on old Jabber mailing lists.

    Obviously, there was a lot to be learned here, but it is really just a matter of using the right tool for the right job, and in many cases the GNU Free Documentation License is not the right tool for certain jobs. Even RMS himself stated this when first interviewed on the scope of the license.

  11. Re:Easy to work around on Big Day For Browser Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    A tad misinformed are we?

    launchTimedPrompt() is a user defined function. How are you going to block that "across the board"?

    The real solution to the problem is to restrict dialogs to their respective windows/tabs.

  12. the obvious reply on Cherry OS Claims Mac OS X Capability For x86 · · Score: 1

    or comparing Cherries to Pears?

  13. Re:Ha ha ha on Auto Accident at SANE Conference Kills One · · Score: 1

    My condolences to your spell-checker. May it rest in peace werever it may have gone off to.

  16. Re:Funnily enough... on Mechanical Pong · · Score: -1, Troll

    I dont usually take my BM's home. Thet tend to get smelly.

  17. People should be Free.... on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    ...but should information and the pursuit of it be free? My understanding is that you are well experienced programmer/software engineer. What are your thoughts on...

    -Reverse Engineering Proprietary software and protocols
    -Exporting Crypto to various restricted nations
    -The validity of software patents

  18. Re:In my experience on Ask Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik · · Score: 1

    I might add one more such example as abolishing seatbelt laws.

    Simon of Simon & Garfunkel was indeed a math teacher, but a crypto expert? I don't think so.

    A solution this robust has not come along since Homer's CompuGlobalHyperMegaNet.

  22. Re:Nowhere near finished, but due out soon? on Mozilla 1.7, Firefox 0.9 Release Candidates Out · · Score: 1

    Before flaming the Firefox devs, take into account that this was not simply some egotistical power play by Ben and the other devs. This was mainly the result of a restrictive licensing issue on the artwork.

  23. Re:Failure forseen. on Mozilla, Opera Form Group to Develop Web App Specs · · Score: 1

    "Its time for goverments to step in and force standards. The Internet must remain open and interoperability is essential."

    Haha, nice troll. You've really fooled the mods. I applaud you.

  24. Small fact... on VisiCalc Turns 25, Creators Interviewed · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I dont think the article mentioned this, but VisiCalc was also the first (known) enterprise app to be ported from the Apple OS to a *Nix based system.

  25. 3com ~= Hayes on The 3Com Saga · · Score: 1

    3Com has been hurt in a very similar way that Hayes was with their modems.

    They were high quality and fairly high priced, but in the end, just couldnt keep up when the latest wave of networking technology rolled through.
