Well, as soon as we get all of the web browsers out there to adopt your so called "new language", we'll be all set. Your comment about Macromedia Flash made me laugh. Explain to me how Action Script interacting with the server with XML.send() is any different than JavaScript using XMLHttpRequest??
Obviously you're not a web developer;)
Instead, how about a JavaScript 2.0? The language is only short a few key elements (like a native JSON serializer).
I started developing web based applications 7 years ago. At that time, JavaScript was really only useful for image mouse overs and was more or less useless and I refused to use it for anything.
Well, about 8 months ago I decided to give JavaScript another chance. All I can say is, wow it's come a loooong way.
I'm a bit skeptical of all of the frameworks that have popped up. They seem to overcomplicate things profoundly. I've looked at a lot of them, but haven't decided that any of them are less work than the solution I developed on my own.
My approach is to use JSON instead of XML. I have a server side script (can be any language, I used PHP for my last application) which acts as a listener script. The listener script accepts and sends JSON strings. The client JS composes and sends JSON strings with XMLHTTP request.
It's clean, fast and simple to maintain and expand. I think these claims of AJAX being "too complex" are ridiculous.
I think it's because the average user can't type as fast as they can form sentences in their mind.... so you becomes u and then it's all downhill from there.
So the question I have is, Will americans have a shot of being able to download BBC shows like "Top Gear"? (instead of having to watch the edited / censored version that the discovery channel plays).
If not, I'll have to continue to download top gear via bittorrent...

No flush urinals came [i]before[/i] flush urinals.
The article makes them seem like they're a new invention or something and that the USA is somehow behind the times when it comes to technological advancements in bathroom.
Now that that's out of the way... flushing urinals were invented for a reason. That reason, undoubtedly, was to help reduce the smell of dried urine.
My car makes 300ft lbs at 2000 RPM which is about 125 horsepower to the wheels. That 125 hp carries through the RPM range. All that means is that even though my car's peak hp is less than the peak hp of the VR6, it's average hp over an RPM range is greater.
In a quarter mile drag race the VR6 will win - it has longer legs. But for day to day driving, there's no way I would trade.
Sorry to throw a wrench in your logic, but I burn biodiesel, which costs me about 80 cents per gallon.
Also, you are correct that power is horsepower, but a diesels massive amount of low end torque causes the car to have more horsepower than a typical gas motor at the same RPM. Which is why my modded TDI will dust a 180hp VW VR6 at a stop light.
Not only do VW TDIs get phenomenal fuel mileage, they also make power. Something hybrids do not do. Granted, I modded my TDI, but it's making 300 ft lbs of torque and still getting 45 MPG. If VW actually built an anemic TDI (that is, one that only made as much power as your average hybrid) I would bet it would double the fuel economy.
Diesel motors are more efficient by design. They have lower exhaust temps (less energy wasted through heat) and they don't have a throttle (when your foot is off of the throttle on a gas car, you've turned the motor into a vacuum pump - again, wasting energy).
That being said, why hasn't anyone built a diesel-electric hybrid car? Surely it would maximize power & economy?
I prefer AJASON - that is, replace XML with JavaScript Object Notation or, serialized javasacript objects. It parses much faster and easier than XML.
I have a JSON class for PHP which lets me serialze any PHP object into JSON. I can send the JSON to the client, eval() it with javascript and viola, my PHP object is now a JavaScript object.
The only problem with it is that there isn't an object serializer built into JavaScript (that I'm aware), so sending data back to the PHP script isn't as easy. I haven't been able to find any classes that do it either...
Dunno why you are saying grandparent is an asshole post. it's real data. Plus the original discussion was about revenue, not stock prices which are 2 separate things.
Because it's a troll. Some jack ass creates a post called "Just another Apple myth" which is full of bull shit about Dell's revenue going up and apple "fanbois" who are in the reality distortion field, and oh yeah, Apple is on the verge of death.
Shit like that should be modded down, not up for fuck's sake.
And if you think that stock prices are not directly linked to a company's growth (which IS what the original discussion is about) then enough said, you just
The time period was not arbitrarily chosen. The grandparent said 2 years. I simply showed that when comparing the two companies relatively over the last two years, AAPL kicks DELL's ass. In fact, AAPL kicks DELL's ass in the 5 year chart as well. It's proof of the trend that we're seeing, which is the point of the main article in the first place.
I wonder if this means we'll be able to buy a google search appliance that can index Lotus Notes databases in the future. I work for a company that has spent the last 15 years throwing information into lotus notes. We now have several thousand notes "databases" and no one can find anything. It's a complete mess.

References too fat ass americans and shitty american cars. I guess the Discovery channel thinks the truth might reduce their audiences approval.
So the question I have is, Will americans have a shot of being able to download BBC shows like "Top Gear"? (instead of having to watch the edited / censored version that the discovery channel plays).
If not, I'll have to continue to download top gear via bittorrent...
how has Lux escaped the wrath of hasbro?
The news is in the second link... the article on thinksecrets.com
Basically the news is that Apple will be letting users stream purchased content from .mac iDisk drives - including full length movies.
I still can't decide if this is a good idea or not... this model has its advantages, but it most certainly has its disadvantages as well.

POS slashdot software keeps obliterating the URL. One more try: mac_hdtv_timer.home.comcast.net
There is software available as part of the Apple FireWire SDK that lets you record MPEG2 streams direct from a firewire enabled cable box. Hmmm....

But wait... that is what I was after in the first place
And on Adium
By anemic, I meant something like VW's prototype 1 liter Diesel. It's a lightweight diesel car that gets 239 MPG @ 60mph.
I forgot to throw the formula in my post...
horsepower = torque X RPM / 5252
My car makes 300ft lbs at 2000 RPM which is about 125 horsepower to the wheels. That 125 hp carries through the RPM range. All that means is that even though my car's peak hp is less than the peak hp of the VR6, it's average hp over an RPM range is greater.

I'll second that.
