  1. Open Source! on IE Developer Responds to Mozilla Accusations · · Score: 1

    "To be clear there are no Operating System APIs that IE uses that are not documented on MSDN as part of the platform SDK and available to other browsers and any other software that runs on Windows..'"

    If Microsoft would merely provide the source, then we could determine this for ourselves. =)

  2. In a word ... on Utah Considers Forcing ISPs to Filter Content · · Score: 1

    No.

  3. Photoshop on Microsoft AntiSpyware thinks Firefox is Spyware · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's a fake image.

    Hello ... it looks like Photoshop has gotten some riled up again.

  4. Re:Still don't get it? on U.S. Scientists Say They Are Told to Alter Finding · · Score: 1

    If the trains *were* late -- which they never are, of course -- just get a note from the conductor and give it to your boss.

  5. Re:What is this world coming to? on Bill Gates Claims OSS Has Poor Interoperability · · Score: 1

    Everyone might not believe in God, but I've been told numerous times that Jesus saves.

  6. DirecTiVos on TiVo to Offer SDK · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately for DirecTV subscribers, this SDK will not work on their DirecTV Tivos (well, out of the box anyway or on most hacked boxes either).

  7. WBXML (this is really binary XML) on W3C launches Binary XML Packaging · · Score: 1

    Read this if you want to know about binary XML (http://www.w3.org/TR/wbxml/).

    The XOP proposal is a mechanism to represent and refer to binary data in an XML document.

    XOP is not a proposal to compress XML documents.


    You might say, oh, I can use CDATA, right.

    Unfortunately, no. CDATA cannot be reliably used because the character range for CDATA is loosely 0x9, 0xA, 0xD, and anything above 0x20. (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#NT-Char)

    Currently, you have to resort to your own scheme to reliably include binary data in an XML document.
  8. Re:This is a great idea on Nokia to Port Perl to Mobiles · · Score: 1

    So essentially saying you have no idea. Next contestant please.

  9. Re:This is a great idea on Nokia to Port Perl to Mobiles · · Score: 2, Troll

    Are you on crack? That Nokia phone is slower than pig in slop retrieving "real time quotes". It's not going to matter if you're using Perl, C++, or Java....the bottleneck to doing it "quickly" is the network...not the programming language.

  10. Makefile patent on JBoss Queries Apache Geronimo Code Similarity · · Score: 1

    What's next?... The patent for Makefile is on the horizon. Not like that's ever been copied...
