I've just tried this with the Mac OS X speak service and it ignores a line of dashes. IMO a screenreader should be smart enough to somehow understand how humans write. And you could also use aural style sheets to define a sound file as an alternative.
But I do understand your objection. The problem is, that the alt attribute is now aware of the output medium, so you can't find a text that's optimal for all media. The most common use of the alt attribute is to display it as text and not reading it by a non-human, i.e. text-only browsers, browsers with images turned off (because of low bandwidth) and a broken image, because of a dropped network connection.
"" could be a valid value, i.e. for a spacer image. But how do you want to automatically validate the alt attribute. Most people describe the image instead of putting an alternative in the alt attribute. One example is a seperator line. Most people write
first, in XHTML you are required to provide an alt= attribute (instead of just strongly recommended like in HTML 4) Not true: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/struct/objects.html#ade f-alt
The alt attribute must be specified for the IMG and AREA elements. A MUST is not a recommendation. Also if you look at the DTD it is required:
<!ATTLIST IMG
%attrs; -- %coreattrs, %i18n, %events --
src %URI; #REQUIRED -- URI of image to embed --
alt %Text; #REQUIRED -- short description --
longdesc %URI; #IMPLIED -- link to long description
(complements alt) --
name CDATA #IMPLIED -- name of image for scripting --
height %Length; #IMPLIED -- override height --
width %Length; #IMPLIED -- override width --
usemap %URI; #IMPLIED -- use client-side image map --
ismap (ismap) #IMPLIED -- use server-side image map --

I copied both specs to a pure text file and the only difference I found is a mark in the header lines:

PHP5 could not continue backward compatability, PHP had to break backwards compatibility,...
I keep reading this and am wondering if you ever ported code from PHP4 to PHP5. I did it with a bigger project and the only problem I had was, that someone had uses StdClass without creating an empty instance first. Took about a day to fix that. It's nothing like VB6 vs. VB.NET.

Just play music under a non-commercial creative commons license. If you don't find good songs it's enough to play one a day. Tell ASCAP that you're playing music and as soon as they want money tell the artists and Creative Commons. After all they want money for something that's explicit non-commercial - they can decide if they just want to break the license or the law. They need to learn, that they don't have every right on everything that's copyrighted (it's the same with AKM here in Austria).
You just lost all credibility with me by using that word. I guess prior to that state of evolution the bees made pentagon shapes and before that they made square shapes for their honeycomb? As far as I understand evolution, that's what they did and still do from time to time. It's just not very efficient and that's why it's rare. Of course that also means only a bunch of cells in the honeycomb will have a different structure and not the whole comb.
Er, no it doesn't. Fair use doesn't mean that you can share your MP3's with everyone else. Technologically you can. Legally and ethically you can't. Of course you can (depending on the content of the MP3). My music is released as MP3 or OGG Vorbis under a creative common license. There is nothing ethically stopping you from sharing. I would be pissed if you don't (if you like it).
Finally there's something happening on my birthday =) June 29th needs more great events than "Canada House opening in London" or "Coal is discovered on Vancouver Island" or a building collapse. But I guess iPhone release or GPL3 isn't something you could tell your grandchildren. At least Ray Harryhausen and Bernard Herrmann were born on the same day - now I only need to meet someone who knows who they are..
If other do what I did, visit Canada instead of USA, they may have 3.0% or more very soon. Some people from Finland I met while visiting the Niagara Falls did the same, so it's not that uncommon for Europeans.
IMO the EU shouldn't be afraid of US politics and do the same to tourist from the US in our countries. Maybe this will teach the US how bad it is and how uncomfortable people feel being fingerprinted and storing (forever) as much of their personal data as possible.
There's also a code that has not been decoded. It's most likely a signature on the added meta data. So yes you can replace the post-it note, but your signature on it would be fake.
But the numbers are not completely wrong. I.e. Safari has a very fast Javascript engine. I've written an animation similar to the old tunnel effect in a DOS screensaver: http://leaf.host.edtinger.at/temp/tun.html - Click on the block to start the animation. You'll see how slow Firefox or IE is compared to Safari or Opera. I guess you could also create some complex HTML/CSS for a subjective comparison of the rendering engines.
I've met police men as an EMT and in private, while helping someone after a car accident. It's like night and day. As soon as you're out of your uniform they stop being nice. But it's the same with paramedics. They don't even listen.
Windows had threading for years before POSIX did. Keep your fork().
1003.1c-1994 (real-time extensions and threads). Thus it had to be in Windows 3.0 or 3.1 because for years is at least two years and NT came out in 1993, which is too late.

A better value would've been "----------".
They say Comcasts hates Firefox or Mac users. But they show screenshots of Safari for Windows, which is not Firefox and not for Mac.
You could just use FastCGI to use as many different PHP versions as you want, with the same webserver on the same port and IP.

There's no Sieg Heil in One Vision
BTW zeig means show, thus zeig heil sounds like a religious message, because it means "show salvation".

That should be fixed in 1.5: http://subversion.tigris.org/merge-tracking/
You mean you're looking for a good book, so you can find the switch command.
The reason they get monkey is that someone likes the music or movies they sell and not copy protection. Still they try to screw this people.
Flamebait? Someone can't handle the truth? Tsk tsk :).
;). Need I say more?
Or not all have mem leaks and/or don't care for bugs closed months ago.
PHP is slower than Perl or Python for most stuff.
And your filesystem, database or network is even slower. Benchmarks != real applications.
PHP security?
Maybe show security problems on Flickr or in Yahoo apps or comparable apps written in PHP.
which for a long time didn't even support prepared statements
8 /oci8.c?revision=1.1&view=markup - added 8 years ago. Prepare? Yes. Bind? Yes. For 8 years. Now that's what I call supported for a long time.
Let's take an example: http://viewcvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/php-src/ext/oci
The problem is more with this database named after a child, which didn't support any of the advanced features for years.
Windows had threading for years before POSIX did. Keep your fork().
1003.1c-1994 (real-time extensions and threads). Thus it had to be in Windows 3.0 or 3.1 because for years is at least two years and NT came out in 1993, which is too late.
And fork() is not that bad if done right.
They could also write in their EULA, that I have to give them my first born. At least in my country both are invalid.
