  1. Re:Finally! on Mozilla Starts Work On XForms · · Score: 1
    IBM has a plugin for IE that supports XForms. Furthermore it has an alternative for Mozilla and other browsers via Javascript and HTML4.

    So the plugin is already there, although I haven't tested it yet. Novell has an XForms tool as well. They probably both have a solid code base already. I hope this means the implementation into Mozilla won't take too long.

  2. Human stupidity on Microsoft Developing Linux Policy, Plan of Attack · · Score: 5, Funny

    Einstein said once: "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." And I'm afraid he's right...

  3. Your Gorilla agent on TeraGrid v. Distributed Computing · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Jesus, there's a horrible thought. I've met the public (and seen it's choice in TV). I'd rather have monkeys choose.

    You might be right about those monkeys. In Holland, we have the Beursgorilla (http://www.beursgorilla.nl/). This gorilla decides what stock to buy or sell based on the bananas presented to him. He proves to be better at "advising" than most of the other "real" and expensive advisors.

    For me, the DistributedComputingGorilla might decide what project will run on my computer.

  4. Include common misspellings on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 0

    Don't use the catchall, but do create some aliases of common misspellings of your name, or common combinations for email addresses, especially those aliases which you have used before with other providers. Furthermore, if someone really does not understand what to type, you can always send them a mail first, and then ask to reply.

  5. Close the windows! on Fiat Joins Microsoft in a Wireless Partnership · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well you know what to do when the vehicle crashes... Close all windows and try a restart.
