XHTML-compliant PNGs, thank you very much. Like gifs are copyrighted or something. To double up on my webdev street cred, why are my examples of prior art always under NDA?
Good one. We've been writing standards-compliant HTML, JS and CSS for years and we manage to make it work in IE5+, Mozilla, Safari, etc. And sometimes we even manage it with C#. I appreciate that no browser perfectly supports specs, but most of the divergence is in fairly obscure stuff, which is why it hasn't been fixed (because almost no one is using it, so there aren't a lot of test cases). Saying "No browser supports standards" is FUD.
Besides, who cares about dominating RSS? It has no strategic value.
You're joking, right? It's about to replace email for all the things people use email for but shouldn't. See this post for an example. Once someone figures out a way to add security (maybe that's in one of these extensions?), it should grow quickly.
I dunno, but I'd trust a developer who investiagted solutions other than Java over the guy who graduated 10 years ago knowing Java and stuck with that.
This may be hard to believe, but i was screwing with the parent poster by suggesting the very foundations of his being (the assumption he'd know if anything halfway important was out there) should be re-evaluated given he didn't know about a TV show.
If only there were a UML language for jokes, we'd be able to clear up a lot of the "I don't think that's funny" issues in this post.
You'll pardon me for not taking the thing literally, but I think the larger point is that there are people out there working on open source that isn't Linux or Mozilla and the unsung heroes are the ones who have already run into the problem you just hit and responded by building a fix and making sure it was available to you.
Yeah, my dad (get with the times/.) sent this to me last night, pointing out the Powerbook was ahead of the sextant. Someone must be doing some amazing work with those Powerbooks.
Way to take a stand and stick it to the man. Be sure to keep us updated on other popular things you don't like so we can confirm you are cooler than the average bear.
Oh happy Christ, Borland must release two tools under the same name, because you and I can't be using the same StarTeam. All you need to know is that StarTeam assigns files to the following status codes: "Current", "Out of Date", "Not in View" and "Unknown". How the hell does it not know?
We spent like $50,000 on it (by "we," I thankfully don't mean me) and that's about the only thing making it difficult to convert us over to svn. I'm hoping to use Trac as a Trojan Horse here.
Keep writing web pages like it's 1997. The rest of us are going to work on building client-server apps that don't feel so much like a Geocities fan page.
While I'm a big fan of tagging in general and delicious in particular, the alternative argument is we'll all be driven to a version of English like the one in 1984. ++ungood.
While I agree with the sentiments here, it should be pointed out the phrase "pursuit of hapiness" replaced, essentially, "pursuit of the buck" when the Founding Fathers borrowed John Locke's phrase.
You've never had a night of Madeline Albright then (of course, your response is a bit deceiving, given that chicks probably do prefer literates over illiterates).

It's indicative of poor taste. One way or the other.

You ungrateful wretches: why can't you appreciate a government so efficient they've already fixed all the security problems below 30,000 feet?

You wouldn't have liked him when he was angry though.
Remember when soup only cost a nickel?

Real mods use the command line.
No life? No sex? Do they have a low user # here?

I don't think it's the only tool under discussion right now.
Fair enough. But there are lots of companies out there with mainframe applications to port that don't feel the way you do.

Poor craftsmen, tools . . . all that.

I think he meant foreign policy, but maybe he meant "foreigner"; remember how they screwed up Dolly the Sheep.
