You'd be surprised. After all, on OSNews Sun engineers appear regularily especially in Sun-related threads. I don't doubt that probably someone from Google has already raed my post. The only issue is with an organisation that big will it get seen by the relevant people? A +5 would help draw their attention. It's not like anyone cares about their karma anymore so why I else would I be doing it?
The produced pages claim to be XHTML 1.0 Strict... but it isn't! The mistakes are pretty bad such as not closing <img> and <br> tags. Also there is so ugly HTML like empty <p></p> tags that you'd think would be easily removed. Also, I don't see any support for the semantic web such as annotating your page with rel="". The battle for web-standards will be won on the web-designer front: when the tools produce correct pages that'll give impetus for everyone to produce clean pages and for all other tools to get up to snuff. Frankly, I think the best way is to create an editor that only lets you create pages that pass from valid state to valid state by producing all the necessary tags every time you add an element so that you can't forget. It can be invasive but it can also be done well.
Please mod this up so that maybe somebody at Google will notice.
PS- What if/. required all post to be valid HTML (or plain-text) before posting them? That would definitely increase awareness and encourage good HTML habits! (After that, perhaps passing a spellchecker!:P)
Wouldn't that be protected under the right against self-incrimination?
Really, UK seems no better than the USA in terms of government, which I guess is not shocking since Bush and Blair are in cohoots, but the extent is surprising.
No, before they had just 1: 2 seperate companies each covering 1/2 the spectrum IBM highend, Freescale lowend. On x86 Apple has access to 2 companies that cover the whole spectrum.
Currently, homosexual marriage is legal. The incoming party wants a new free-conscience vote on the matter. The previous vote, the one which passed the bill, was not a free vote since the NDP and Liberals kicked anyone out of their party who voted against it. While a few people who towed the party line might now vote against it (to a very likely backlash from their constituency), others, who voted against it before will vote for it now since they feel that the country has already spoken on the matter and consider the issue closed even if they personally disagree. Current projections look like a new vote would be passed by a small, not slim, margin. The Globe & Mail, arguably Canada's most respected newspaper, recently had an article on the matter.
really? I find that surprising. The main reason I use NetBeans is that I enjoy the boost in productivity it's debugging/code-tracing ulities give me. They are the best I've ever used bar none. It's text editor is also pretty slick with acromyns like "sout" expanding to "System.out".
Well this is health education and I think if it can make a difference in people's lives its worth it. Frankly, I'm using it to get back into shape and am beginning to see results and lose weight.
Also, if we take the 3Rs strictly that precludes the teaching of algebra (algebra being beyond the scope of arithmetic), computer science,and trade class, art class, geography or any other science, literary criticism... and just about anything else worth knowing.
Graphically representing data. You could easily make dynamic bar graphs based on other XML data.Any kind of graph really. I think this will be key: you can dynamically visualise your data with a simple XSLT. Of course you could do this using plain text data and then write a custom script in perl to spit out some bitmap... but XSLT w/ XML source and SVG output will be easier and less error prone and more flexible.
I believe it is deliberate and am looking for confirmation. Usually by looking at a line you can tell if it is deliberate or a typo. I don;t think they'd make it look like a typo in case the code got out there: I think they'd be too cocky to consider it ever getting out.
6 is a rather arbitrary number. It also makes it more difficult to generate HTML since you need to what the previous heading level which can cause problems if you ar generating HTML recursively (I believe that term is the it makes HTML a non-context free grammar ???). Sometimes you only need two levels of headings, sometimes all 6, sometimes even more. It is better to replace it with a more flexible format where heading level is determined by the user-agent by nesting. Have a look at it. It should provide you with everything you need and more with imposing any extra burden.
You've missed the point. Of course they are 'art'. In they same way a poster of two kittens on a blanket is 'art'. There is lighting, focus, composition etc. The question is are games 'Art'. By 'Art' I mean high-brow art with depth to them.
Can they be discussed seriously?
Do they offer insight on the human condition? Do they have engaging metaphors?
Pose questions worth debating?
Leave you exposed to something new you have not considered before?
Considering the way mosts geeks (I suspect) would snicker and dismiss these questions I think gaming as art is not likely to happen. Considering the demographic is heavily dependent on kids and teenagers and other twits. Can you imagine an interactive Citizen Kane ever being a hit on the Xbox?
I think there is a possibility for games to be art... but that will take away from the graphics so we'll have to wait until we receached a peak of graphics and diminishing returns there. A game like Myth (never played but read enough to know the style could be used) or Morrowind have the possibility to be real art since they have a lot of story and offer exploration where themes can be fully realised there could be an authentic experience. Imagine what it would be like to role-play as a house-servant in Hamlet's castle watching his anguish grow? Also, if Sid Meir develops the social model of Civilisation fully there could also be art (like if you reach the optimal productive civilisation and zoom to the city-level and see all you people are slaves and feel pity).
Hmm, come to think of it making gmaes more like art would require an de-emphasis on action and an increased emphasis on thoughtfullness, and not in a chess kind of way.
After all every texture is art... but it's not the kind of art I bother thinking twice about, and definitely wouldn't take a girl out on a date to discuss.
a real shame though since it looked like a really good game. I'm rarely excited about games but this is up there with Oblivion on my anticipated list.

Back in oh... I believe grade 11, I was taking every computer course I could. One of them was practically remedial: the Internet course! As part of the course we learned HTML and JavaScript... but we also had to learn about emoticons (and memorise at least 20), write essays on netiquette, and "get down" with all the "hip" "net lingo". It was all pretty cheesy shit and outdated even back then (seriously, who needs to know about Gopher and Archie?). I remember seeing some of the acronyms thinkg that they were pretty cute/cool but that no one would ever use them. PEBKAC (Probably Error is Between Keyboard And Chair) was definitely one of them. SISO (Shit in, Shit out) was another. So, I just gotta say thanks.
...because the last thing people in this society need are more excuses. Sure this may lead to some treatments... but it will feed into the culture of victimisation. "Well I'd like to get in shape, but some of us don't have it as lucky as you do... we are cursed with lazy genes." Really it may be true, but I think we'd be better not knowing. I think the same thing goes for a biological of sexuality. Because when some government starts doing some "cleansing" we'll wish we didn't know. I think we need a *real* debate about science and ethics; one that isn't treated like a political football.

Oh I think it is coming together together quite well. Attractive theory isn't it?

Of course you could do this using plain text data and then write a custom script in perl to spit out some bitmap... but XSLT w/ XML source and SVG output will be easier and less error prone and more flexible.
how about the ability to be transformed directly for XML data via XSLT? I think that's pretty damn sexy.

I think this is a VERY important point. Though my hunch is that the source code to this backdoor is kept VERY tightly sealed.
C++ remains as the only proper object-oriented language.
Really? Lets ask someone else's opinion on the matter:
Hmm, I think I'll beg to disagree with your quote.well considering geeks' intentions it's probably a safer bet than treating them functionally...
if you only had one that would make it an eyeBall and would clearly be infringing Apple's intellectual property.
