While it would be nice if Firefox did Acid 2 right, I'd much rather that people worked on things like and SVG and XForms, which are far more exciting and useful than a single test.
There actually is a technology called HAHA. I'd link to it, but unfortunately it's a rather difficult acronym to search for. Basically the idea is to use XmlHttpRequest to get HTML and dump it straight on the page (rather than processing XML or JSON with Javascript to get the final HTML). I think the idea (of calling it HAHA) originated with one of the microformats guys.
Personally I think the idea (of getting HTML from the server) is too bloody obvious to need an acronym, but what do I know?
Humans may be clever, but they're also pieces of shit. I bet we survive too, but I hardly call that an optimistic outlook.
Energy isn't our problem; rampant idiocy and selfishness are. There's plenty of energy available in this universe - whether anything humanity does with it will be worthwhile is another question.
Oh, go ahead and do it; just don't pretend that it's actually going to accomplish anything. I'm afraid the only solution is massive population reduction; the only permanent solution is extinction.
Well, that's not entirely true. You get 2 free calls to the hotline, but (speaking as an ex-"Windows XP Support Professional") the best advice you're likely to get is format & reinstall.
It seems to me that using del.icio.us and GreaseMonkey to tag a URL and then display those tags makes more sense than every site creating its own implementation.
A centralized tagging service (think hoodwink.d, if anyone knows what I'm talking about) means that it's easy to get connections between those tags (jump to Flickr straight from Amazon, for example). And of course, it doesn't need to be centralized; you could just as easy run your own tag server for private things, or subscribe to interest-specific tag servers.
Lots of flexibility on other sites too; on Slashdot, rather than marking someone "friend" or "foe" I could tag them "idiot" or "troll" or "guru".
organizations like the MPAA and RIAA don't even have a big problem regulating content on the internet here in North America, with the help of the U.S. gov't
But-but-but that's OK because copyright infringement is illegal!
Somehow the developers found a workaround to the infamous MS-compiled ACPI bugs that make it difficult to read battery status, etc. I've got to figure out how they did that.

...hence Punycode.

Some browsers support IRIs, basically Unicode in ASCII. So the actual URI is still ASCII but any program aware of IRIs will present them as Unicode.

Berkeley DB XML is decent.
Look on the bright side, at least it didn't have Dan Brown.
No, it's because you're proud of a "skill" that's stupid.

Tagging is slang for writing graffiti.
Christ, it's not even a pun.
Yeah, but only in browsers if you have the (utter crap IMO) Adobe plugin.
XForms and SVG!
Pretty much. Your point? I'd say the same thing if some stoner came up with magical glasses that could detect pot smokers.
