  1. Re:META headers on Independent Data and Formatting with Microformats · · Score: 4, Informative
    How much of this could have been done 5 years ago
    All of it. Microformats use features introduced with HTML 4.0 in 1997, so all of this was possible nearly 10 years ago.

    How much of microformats could have been done using META
    None of it. META tags and microformats serve two entirely seperate purposes, and neither is in any way a replacement for the other.

    The class attribute was never intended to be limited to CSS. From the HTML 4.01 specification:
    The class attribute... assigns one or more class names to an element; the element may be said to belong to these classes. A class name may be shared by several element instances. The class attribute has several roles in HTML:
    • As a style sheet selector (when an author wishes to assign style information to a set of elements).
    • For general purpose processing by user agents.

    Society really goes to hell, as in labor camps and mass exterminations, when we let right-wing ideologies like yours come into power.


    First, the concept you're looking for is "authoritarian", not "right-wing". You'll find that authoritarians come in both left-wing and right-wing varieties. The two camps never agree on the problems that need to be solved, but they always agree on the solution -- more power for them, less power for you.

    Is your post a joke?
    Yes, all of Dada's posts are jokes.

    Dada is a troll in the classic sense. He posts insanely stupid comments and delights in the replies by anyone foolish enough to take him seriously. Posters like him provide an invaluable service to the Slashdot community, by reminding us all that we should be skeptical of everything we read.

    I was secretly hoping you really had made your last-ever post to slashdot. Frankly, your trolls have become tedious and boring.

    I'm reasonably certain that you have simply adopted a batshit insane persona, and routinely game the slashdot moderation system. I doubt you believe half the crap you write here. And sometimes, you have a flash of brilliance -- like the Chihuly lawsuit reference -- that could only come from someone with an intuitive understanding of (and contempt for) the slashdot hive mind.

    But you continue to repeat the same trite, over and over and over again. And it's not even useful tripe. Most of your posts are obviously, painfully, and shockingly painful to read. You're almost never right. You're usually not even wrong. Mostly your ideas are just lost and confused, and wander around like blind puppies tied in a burlap sack.

    But you repeat yourself enough that I'm forced to consider that you may actually believe the drivel that you post. Or, you're just posting to drive traffic to the advertisements on your vanity sites. Or both.

    Cagel, while I agree with your post, I have to add as someone who regularly meta-mods, the troll mod is rarely used correctly at all. By "correctly" I mean posts like the GNAA crap and goatse links
    GNAA and goatse posts are not trolls, they're crapfloods. They're two entirely different things.

    If you want to read a troll, read the ultimate ancestor to this post. That post is a troll, and a very damned good one too.

    With any luck it won't have to come down to those nasty tiebreakers, because those are much harder to determine. If it did however, they would then hire some well-connected, very expensive consultants (i.e. friends/relatives of the ruling class) to sort through the technical issues.
    No, I'm pretty sure the consultants will be hired regardless.

    I would go more often if I knew cellphones would not work (and the people who have them would not be there).
    No, you wouldn't. The reason you don't go to movies anymore is because movies are marketed almost exclusively to 14 year old kids.

    You remember how great the movies were when you were 14, and how comfortable the theaters were, and how the popcorn didn't taste like ass, and how Saturday Night Live didn't suck as much as it did now.

    But you're wrong. There have always been jerks in theaters. Most movies have always sucked. And Chris Farley really wasn't that funny most of the time.

    What the hell did you people worrying about babysitters do ten years ago?


    Ten years ago, you could call a theater in an emergency, and they'd go find the person you were looking for.

    Theaters won't do that now. Hell, they don't even bother to kick out the people talking in the theater. Why would they spend any effort finding someone in a theater?

    Personally, I'd rather see cell phone jammers become more common--in restaurants and theaters, especially.
    If someone is talking in the theater while you watch a movie, talk to the manager and demand your money back. If enough people did this, the theaters would hire ushers.

    Wow, that troll went over like a glass balloon. It's a shame, too, since the Chihuly case really seems like something the Slashdot editors could have milked for at least three or four flame-and-stupidity filled articles.
