They're actually pretty decent, with the lates 2010 updates and html5 markup option work well enough, though sass/less support would be nice and chirpy is a must have plugin for web dev.
I was thinking the same... also thinking a.kids TLD would be nice.. have a $50,000 registration fee, for 5 years, that includes people to vet every.kids site every month. So many complaints, and poof, domain gone, no refund. Essentially a G rated tld. nick.kids, pbs.kids and disney.kids would probably be the main sites, but far easier to allow *.kids, then to try blocking anything.. white-listing is easier... I don't know if it'd be truly worthwhile to do though. The biggest issue is in the US you can't legally ask someone under 13 their age online. Kind of hard to create sites for those < 12yo with that restriction.
I actually like Win7's taskbar, also, usually fine grouping the taskbar, not a click, but hover with thumbnails.. as to the start menu, I often hit the win key, type a few characters and enter to launch anythin I haven't docked on the taskbar. On my mac, accessing anything not docked is a pain...Unity/gnome 3 suck on a large screen.
I do have a big complaint about windows though.. with wide screens would love to have the taskbar on the left, but when you do this,the start menu is alien to mouse with... either the button should remain on the bottom, or the order should be reversed.
I've been using.less a bit myself, which is similar. what I use is pre-compiled, but there are supporting modules for on-the-fly delivery. I believe there are js interpreters as well.
HTML5 itself started off with WhatWG documenting the "breaking" browser specific extensions to HTML by various browsers... XmlHttpRequest is based on a non-standard MS active-x control. All of HTML itself is a series of non-compliant extensions later ratified... at least this time there are three disparate third parties behind it. If google, ms and yahoo are for it, it's probably not a bad thing... besides they've already been using this metadata for a while. though I think meta-* attributes to counterpart data-* attributes may be better... I usually only need/use one data attribute (populated with json) when needed
Microsoft was and still is a leading mfg of computer mice... started as an effort to push the features of a mouse driven UI in early versions of MS Office...
in IE, filters for gradients etc are supported... rounded borders are supported... gradient + border radius = fail... I can only say that expected rendering work more consistently for Chrome than IE in my experience. As fore standard.. well, thats what vendor prefixes are for... -ie-* would be acceptable imho. It's still better than falling back to complex markup and tables for said rendering...
And what of CSS3, no linear gradient backgrounds in IE9, which has caused me a *LOT* of headaches, as rounded corners + the filter for gradients in IE9 fails... css3pie works okay for IE6-8, but I can't do a lot of things in IE9 that I would like/want to do... I can get around a lot of this with inner shadows, but not the same. There's also the fact that MS isn't releasing IE9 for XP, or IE10 for Vista... I'd rather have chrome's always updated by default and continuous develop/release approach so then the experience is at least predictable.
First, also an AZ resident... I don't think that privately owned/operated prisons are the way to go, I also think that many of the laws regarding recreational drug use should be repealed. Beyond that, I've never said I want no government.. just less of it, at better efficiency. Whenever I make posts about reducing government, the responses are always along the lines of your response.. generally assuming I want all government functions privatized or eliminated... that isn't the case... however the fact that almost 1/3 of my check is taken away in various taxation before I see it, then another 10-20% of what's left gets taken in other obvious taxes (tacked onto sales, water bill, cell, cable etc bills), not to mention taxes that are more obscured (property via rental, tarrafs and other taxes on trade directly before I see the pricing, and ATF, gas, licensing (car, truck)) etc... it winds up being well over half of my income going out into taxes... This is simply wrong... *NOBODY* should have more than half their income taken in taxes (TOTAL)... it isn't right, never will be right, and you can't convince me that half of the population's income needs to be taken to fund the government. No government should be that big.
I have a lot more neatly organized fles and as it stands don't like the "Library" setup in vista/win7... that said, win7 is my current fav OS, ubuntu and osx have been in the past though.
The larger issue is that the amount of taxes collected, vs. the amount spent on corporate oversight is insanely small... there's very little, or no need to increase sales taxes to cover this need. Most states with sales taxes have their own IRS equivalent capable of taking on the issue of actually collecting taxes. This burden in the end will fall to the tax payers. I don't think anyone is suggesting that there be no oversight, only that there is too much taxation, and far to much government encroachment into the liberties of its' citizens.
had a problem earlier today with ie7 specifically.. grr... need to get XP users to Chrome or FF... everyone I've introduced to Chrome loves it.. multi-user scenarios in windows is the only pain with it. I would like an adblock that really works like the FF version (blocked before remote requests)... but that's my only real gripe. The auto update is my biggest reason to push now, tired of out-dated browsers at every turn.
You could always be a bit more discrete, like this when viewed in IE. Personally, if it's up to me, I check in IE9, Chrome Dev channel and Firefox (latest)... I tend to use Chrome dev channel as a rendering bencmark of how it *should* look... firefox rarely needs tweaking, IE9 a few here and there, and older IE, takes more...
Some general html5 syntax with additional tags, and css5 do a lot of the heavy lifting now, and js is relatively light/fast when done right. I try to make non-admin interfaces at least functional in older browsers... but depends on your needs and the target.. not doing some test as you go for layout will lead to dramatic issues further in.

MS's Expression Web does a decent job for static site gen from templates as well.

"Open" was specifically mentioned..opera isn't open/libre.
I like chrome a little better... also a fan of "always up to date" as the default to avoid a 6+ year old browser being an option too.
Doesn't have adobe flash or pdf iirc.
Thanks...
I don't know why they didn't just use Lego Mindstorm.
I think people confuse TM - Trade Mark with (R) registered trademark.

Might be a better example... also, it allows for a easier client-side reformatting in JS.

so registering, and running it under therealsonycorp.com should do it.

Maybe nvidia could come up with a really fast quad-core tegra design, with a higher end gpu (for 1080p output).. that would be cool...
