So actually watching your kids isn't possible? Probably because it's tough being a parent, and you want to do stuff that doesn't involve your children. Too fucking bad. You lost the right to do anything aside from watching your kids when you reproduced. Now live up to your responsibility instead of asking Slashdot how to do it.

Happily, when you ignore Opera, you're ignoring 20,000 people or so, which is really quite insignificant in the grand scheme of things. After all, if someone chooses to limit their capabilities, is there a reason to listen to their bitching about said limitations?
Wow, so there's Apple zealots, Ruby on Rails zealots, Opera zealots, GNU zealots... does it ever stop? Can't you people stop proselytizing for one day?

OTOH, Windows explorer.exe is currently at 33 Meg!!! WHAT is it doing? It's just listing files!
Not sure how I'm trolling here - maybe because I asked a question instead of jumping right into flame mode? I was trying to understand. I thought that was a good thing.
Then we're in agreement, philosophically. As a UI developer I tend to work very closely with designers on my projects, and I've found that best way to achieve everyone's goals is to keep going back and forth until it works.
By the by, I wouldn't say it make people assholes to desire perfection, just unrealistic:)
Wow, you have 'Troll' in your name, you copy/pasted a well known apple troll, barely making any changes, and you still got serious replies. Well done, sir, I applaud you. May trolling success follow you unto the ends of the earth.
From my experiences driving Honda hybrids, I think your explanation is exactly wrong. It appears that the combustion engine is used as the main drive, and the electric engine kicks in under heavy acceleration. Maybe you're talking about other hybrids, though.
Note - I'm basing this entirely on sensation. I've never bothered to research how they work. I just know that it sounds and feels like a normal car when driving, and that under acceleration, I can hear the whine of the electric motor. That, and there's a little assist meter that normally stays at 0.
You're a fan of Lyndon LaRouche, I take it? I'm regularly accosted by the drunken homeless men his organization employs to annoy people using the subway in DC. They represent him well. Or should I say appropriately? Whatever.
and don't forget to point out my english is bad and I should spell correctly, that will make you right for sure.
Why worry about that?
The simple truth is that no one gets up in arms about taking down #2. Keep up your envy. It's not productive, but the fuel it provides to your fire will keep you warm inside, at least until it burns you out.
So many words, so little understanding. Mock away, my anonymous friend. Your beliefs, and the beliefs of those you claim as compadres, have not one iota of effect on reality.
I'm not saying you do this, exactly, but you're reminding me of the designers I've worked with in the past that would obsess over pixel-precise positioning of things to the point where they would hand me entire pages as graphics so as to get the look they wanted.
Not really "just a function", but a substantially new/different way of architecting a web application, no? A paradigm-shift, if you will.;-)
I won't. It's not even close to new - Microsoft pioneered the technique back in the 90s for Outlook Web Access. It isn't just a function, that is true. It's just an object. Has a few interesting methods and properties. In retrospect, it's so damn obvious it's a wonder netscape didn't include it in their first iteration of Javascript.
I guess the old pageview quota is falling, since the 'editors' decided to deliberately start a flamewar.
Anyone else mentally picturing them sitting around a glowing monitor, rubbing their hands and cackling with glee as the ad pennies mount up in the account?
Here's my contribution - it's not a competition, unless you work for Microsoft or Sun. Since most of us don't, why get so damned up in arms about it? Is it a substitute for a real life? probably.
It wasn't my example, and your explanation wasn't previously stated. I suppose it could be assumed, but since it wasn't the original point, I didn't really think it mattered.
I was more amused by the idea of a woman jamming a handful of leaves up in her birth canal to stop up a heavy flow. What did women do before they invented napkins and such?

Ah, showing up, investigating a possible threat, and then leaving without doing anything constitutes a breach of freedom. I like the way you think.
Obviously, English isn't your first language, so I've gotta ask - are you denying the holocaust in that first sentence?

Sure, I'm building one right now. You can't get to it, though, and I'm not really allowed to tell you much about it.
Most of these applications aren't high-profile public projects. Typically, you're talking about internal business systems.
Overall, it's important to remember: Your belief in the value of a given technique has no effect on the actual value therein.
Implementation.
I know this answer provides no value. I was guessing from the tone of your question that you don't really care to have it answered anyway.
I gave up on it after one week, because I watched the same show about 15 times. Do people out there have the patience for this dreck?
Really? And who came up with this blurb, who is marketing it?

Taco, you're no gamer, stop pretending you are to look cool.
How, exactly, would pretending to be a gamer make him cool? I'm not too sure how that works.
Most people don't pirate things. Don't confuse your lack of morality for a general lack.
Great, a moron apologist. Slashdot definitely needs more of you.
