He's referring to a specific measurement of dark matter, specifically a Nibbler steamer, which Fry tells the cops weighs as much as a thousand suns as they are citing him for failure to scoop.
I think there's two reasons for 2. The first is that, tying in with 1., we hope they won't come here and wipe us out. But I think the stronger reason is that most sci-fi is also a morality tale. The stories that have peaceful aliens are intended to be a reflection of what we hope we will be when we are in that position, because as it is now, most people view our species rather dimly: violent, stupid, warmongering, and very likely to go out and rape and pillage some other species.
Depending on what you mean by Mozilla, a quarter of the XULRunner codebase is written in Javascript and more than half of the Firefox codebase is written in Javascript.
Well, that's also kind of why Sun has invested so much effort into the GC; anymore the creation of such short-lived objects in a tight loop will have very minimal effect on the runtime speed and memory usage.
Claim 3 states that validation is done via regular expression. A regular expression doesn't really have that capability (except perhaps what Perl calls regular expressions).
It seems to me the only thing unique about their patent is not the supposed real-time nature of it (people have been using onchange to ensure valid input in fields for years), but rather the uniquely Dojo (and only because everyone stopped doing it years ago) abomination of putting invalid attributes on XHTML elements to embed Dijit specific information. In this case, the patent seems to hinge on this embedding nature by its constant reference of "validation enhanced text-input element."
If I were developing purely for Firefox, I'd use object destructuring, array comprehensions, let scoping, and worker threads. Pretty sure all of that would blow up in any browser other than Firefox.
To be fair, "active characters" is a very bad metric for FFXI, seeing as most people probably have at least one mule, if not more; I had three, two of which had an 80+ crafting skill, and I doubt I was unique.
Yes, because having the Hungarian notation ensures that when (not if) the user passes in the wrong type, everything is still rainbows and lollipops without the type checks...
Right, I see that. Perhaps I'm being dense, but it seems that without copyright the FSF has to depend on everyone being an FOSS supporter. I don't agree with the AC in that I don't think businesses will just shrug and open-source (in this case, release to the public domain) all their software if software copyrights disappear.
Without copyright law, the FSF would no longer be able to achieve its goals. With no copyright, everything is either trade secret or public domain. I fail to see how that ensures that end users will always have access to the source of the programs they use in order to update them.
Unless, of course, I've completely misunderstood the FSF's goals. Which is entirely possible.

With any luck, no. All the things I loved about FFXI were gone in WoW with nothing I wanted to replace it. But that's just me, I guess.
Setup the proxy correctly in Firefox then try. Even at Microsoft you can use Firefox just fine and no one gives a crap.

Trent Reznor (NIN) isn't big?
Chrome has plugins (Flash, etc). You mean add-ons.
Tangentially related, I hate how hard it apparently is for people to not incorrectly interchange upload and download.
This is the part where you curse Muphry.

Guys in real life.

pHash will probably take care of that anyway.
Python, Ruby, x86 Assembly, LOLCODE, the list goes on...
You should check out Pike. Lot nicer than PHP and still has all of those things you mentioned.

And I wrote him an email asking a few questions and he responded by calling me sweety and ranting off-topic. What's your point?
Seems more like a badly repurposed Lisp joke, since syntax is a sin...err...
Can I change professions? I'm tired of being a geek; I want to give outlaw a shot.
