  1. Re:Only two ? on Basics of Modern Intel CPUs · · Score: 1

    IBM (well, their subsidiary, VIA) is still in the PC Desktop CPU market. Sites like that ignore them though because H4rdc0r3 G4m3rz don't want a 20 watt motherboard in a 17mm x 17mm form if it's only fast enough to run all their desktop (non-game) applications, watch HD videos, be a SOHO router/firewall/fileserver, be an educational beowulf cluster node, etc. They want power because the salesperson told them they need power.

    Yes. It's a natural monopoly.

    Because you can vote out the government. You can't vote out a company unless it's publicly traded AND you can afford to do a hostile takeover.

  15. hmmm. on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    In the days of NN4/IE4 it was called "loading another frame with dynamically generated pages containing data".

  16. Re:WANTED - AJAX DEVELOPER on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1

    Ummm... I've been doing AJAX-y stuff since Netscape 4 was a new browser. Even without Document.implementation.createDocument or XMLHttpRequest (ActiveX or core), you can still load a document with hidden data in another frame and walk it's DOM tree. Actually, my CGI made pages with embedded dynamicly generated JavaScript to insert the data into my structures, but It could have been done via DOM. So yeah, I've got about 7 years of AJAX experience.

  17. Re:Correct me if i'm wrong but... on AJAX Buzzword Reinvigorates Javascript · · Score: 1
    AJAX also works like this:
    this.adoc = document.implementation.createDocument("","",null) ;
    this.adoc.onload = adoc_onload;
    this.adoc.backref = this;
    this.adoc.onError = adoc_onerror;
    this.adoc.load("foo.xml");
    Which works for local files (when the document itself is local) and remote, at least in Firefox & Mozilla. It's all in the new standard, so it should be in other browsers soon too, but it doesn't work yet in KHTML or Safari (I don't know about Opera or IE, they're not required for my project)

    I wrote a little library that feels around for which method works, but it doesn't work for local files (tries XMLHTTPRequest), and belongs to my employer now.

    International students here pay substantially more for tuition than than the cost of their education, whereas citizens pay substantially less than the cost. More international students means more money to educate citizens without raising taxes.
