"I personally would LOVE to have an effective "adult content" filter", just so I can be sure I can click a link and be exposed to goatse.cx... if that's what I was aiming to do.
"I'm sure a lot of other people would like such a filter, too, and I see no reason that it can't be done without denying others access to the"... other content they want.
I recently visited the Getty Museum in Los Angeles and low and behold the ancient art exhibit had been 'modified'. All of the greek nude statues of men had been castrated! A nice neat circle indent was where a penis used to be. WTH!!!!
Just an example of how censorship can be used to ruin great things. BTW the Getty is privately funded... shame on them for disfiguring our human heritage.
Well just to be fair, all apps have a read time w/ configs etc.. nearly equivalent to a precompile if it's only done the first time the app is run. What is mentioned is that perl standard requires a recompile every time it is invoked, not just on execution.
" so the set of functionality build into the webbrowser is simply focussed on what it should do: rendering pages."
Can't anyone build a browser/standard w/ a tagset that appropriately reflects the needs of the user? Without requiring 3rd party scripting/plugins? I'm not saying that flash/qt/real/etc isn't viable or that ecma/javascript isn't useful.. but can't a standard webpage have real UI elements outside of a form/dhtml? come on... links/images/text just don't do it anymore... we need some real UI here that doesn't rely on 3rd party/security agnostic solutions.
Certainly an achievement on M$ part:
"Due to some internal mishandling at Microsoft, this was brushed off
until w00w00 informed Microsoft of its intention to release the
information on February 17. We originally gave them a deadline of
two weeks until we discovered that this affected Entourage (an
Outlook-like mail client for Mac OS). When Microsoft determined
this affected most of their Office suite on Mac OS, we felt it was
appropriate to give them time to fix it."
I'll say it again... i recently found out ( http://www.appleturns.com/scene/?id=2094 ) that M$ released Win2K w/ 63,000 bugs in the official release... imagine that... and apparently are still fixing them.
Hey now... we all love the fact that Macs don't have viruses or 'exploits'... don't spill the milk! We wouldn't want everyone in the world driving up the prices for Macs even higher than they already are...!!!! Love my TiG4/wireless 10 Mbit/1GB RAM/34 GB HD wonder! Now coding & compiling in a neighborhood near you...

Beautiful... I just want to add my support to this theory.
Didn't someone once say "It is better to teach a poor man how to fish than to give him fish for a day" or something like that....
ugh... read the article first.. then post... yeah yeah..
Anybody know how much that first hard drive's capacity was?

Didn't you know? M$ has stopped supporting Java! Including the misnamed scripts associated w/ it in preference to vbscript... ;-p and C# ;-p
Actually there are tools to build precompiled Perl as executables... not sure if there is any performance gain though.
