  1. AT LAST (Just a year late) on Firefox 1.1 Plans Native SVG Support · · Score: -1

    I have been waiting for this, for over a year. XSLT and XML can be shown in full strength with the help of SVG. It is hard to think what computers could do if they could understand images in more detail.

    The big issue though is that Firefox should have been on this bandwagan as the initial proposal came out.

  24. Re:Screw patents on MSNBC Looks At Patent Abusers' Victims · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think that the speed that the patent office takes holding developments back. Personally I would like to see patents recevied and processed within a month and all small time I.T. patents expire in 5 years.

  25. Very strange on MSNBC Looks At Patent Abusers' Victims · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "...saying he had patented the electronic process by which the donations were made. Ziarno demanded a licensing fee from the non-profit agency for infringing on his patent, which he applied for in 1993 -- before most people had even heard of the World Wide Web."

    This seams strange (in 1993?). For some reason, I do not think I understand US patents.
