"Microsoft first implemented the XMLHttpRequest object in Internet Explorer 5 for Windows as an ActiveX object. Engineers on the Mozilla project implemented a compatible native version for Mozilla 1.0 (and Netscape 7). Apple has done the same starting with Safari 1.2."
The writeup claims that Camino is affected; it is not, since it uses OS X sheets to present javascript dialogs. The dialog is attached to its parent window, which makes it pretty difficult for people to get confused.;)
Next, between those times when the sails are not up, the ship will probably want to keep thrust, so it will have to carry onboard some propellant to keep its thrust up during the times it is without sails. Thus, the ship will lose a significant portion of weight during its travel.
What do you mean by "keep thrust?" It's not like it's going to start slowing down in the middle of space or anything...
Once again, a good programmer knows how tcode his own routines.
on (key press) if (key.down="X" and key.down=CONTROL) { mdm.clipboard = this.selection; this.selection = ""; telltarget ("alertbox") gotand play ("selectedtextcut"); end telltaget } end on
Easy as proverbial pie. What I'm saying here is, yah. You can cut and paste in flash.
What if you're using X Windows, and you select text to copy, and middle mouse button to paste? Usually the browser is able to modify the presentation and interface to meet the user's needs. When using flash, the user's options are ignored for the sake of animations, vector graphics, etc. Also:
Number two, if the flash site does not follow the old model of third-generation www sites (See above) and uses a new convention - AKA dynamic content as generated by user input (See Application) then, bookmarks and the lot become irrelevant. Can you hit the back button in Quake III Arena when somebody shoots you? (Oops! I didn't want tdie. Take it back please. Im a baby) Can you "bookmark" a spot in a Q3 map because you think it looks neat?
A web browser is NOT an FPS. An FPS is a game designed to be fun and fair; a web browser is an application designed to present HTML to a user. What would be bad in a game is fine in a web browser ('view source' for example). I'm not sure exactly what your point is here.
It looks at how to improve software development efficiency through visual modeling, generating code from abstract models, and systematic reuse.
Software development efficiency is affected more by the skill of the programmers and the flexibility of the design than by the use of such tools. Bad code is bad code, no matter how it was written.

Download WordService here, And you can count the words in whatever text you're selecting (in any application), just by pressing shift-command-I, or selecting "Statistics..." from the services menu. Pretty handy.
If you're doing any pixel art on the Mac, you can use Pixen. It's doesn't really compare to something like the GIMP for large-scale images (it starts getting slow for images greater than about 300x300, especially if you have multiple layers), but for icons, isometric-style stuff, and other pixelly art, it's the best open source tool for OS X that I know of. (Of course, I'm one of the developers, so I may be a bit biased...)
For example, here's a program that adds two single-digit numbers together:
Universe is marshy but evaporates downstream. Sense the rapids reverse. Down bridge is now marsh: Marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy marshy now. All evaporates downstream. Sense the rapids now: Rapids rapids rapids rapids rapids rapids rapids rapids sensed. Ugh +.
Take powers from snowmelt therefore;
the current time is of youth. Fountain is young. Bear cannot reverse. Down inverse. Lock young. Switch young. Range. Switch clone to the switch itself. Now inverse. Lock narrows down:
Powers
to append. Up go all young. Bear time evaporates then. Therefore: Spawn power. Invert evaporates it. Down force. Down reverse. Down net. The
net reverses force. Now try: Add add add add add add add now. It is not possible; now count: 0. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18+.
You can now pump in reverse. Down lock goes; narrows lock down: Inverse. Lock young. Range. Sense 0n 1n 2n 3n 4n 5n 6n 7n 8n 9n
Powers lock time now. Inverse. Lock young. Range. Sense 0n 1n 2n 3n 4n 5n 6n 7n 8n 9n
Powers snowmelt now.

No. Just no. This OS would have all the bad things about Mac OS (no x86 software will run), with none of the good (iApps, UNIXness, Cocoa, etc). Sure, the developers could just recompile, but what about all your legacy apps? VPC doesn't really cut it. Sorry, but this idea will never happen, especially considering Microsoft's devotion to legacy app support.
The original article is not about installing Linux on the GPS device itself; it's about getting your Linux machine to talk to said device. I know you can't be expected to "RTFA," but at least read the summary...
A computer is significantly different than a car, or an electrical system, or any of that. The possibilities for a computer's uses are only limited by system resources; a car can only turn wheels around, and an electrical system can only distribute energy. Computers are also connected to the internet, which introduces a whole new level of complexity. The fact is that for computers to behave like a car or an electrical system, modern operating systems must try to manage all this complexity by themselves. They aren't smart enough to do this in all cases, though, so the user has to have some knowledge about how the computer works to use it.

Mathematics isn't a science.
What about this?
Colonizing other worlds and fixing our own are not mutually exclusive goals.
Microsoft is far from a monopoly in the console business. Nobody's being forced to buy an Xbox 360.
I like the background dial image, but does anyone else think the type looks ugly? It doesn't really blend in with the background very well, IMO.
Microsoft, please set the MozUserSelect property of your image nodes to "none". It will make Gecko users love you forever.

Keep in mind that the $9.1bn number is in hardware sales, not software.
Do you have any idea how much OSS is in Mac OS X?

They would probably just fall back down again, and burn up in the atmosphere. Achieving orbital velocity is pretty hard.
The best part is, if apple were to add new data formats later on, every app that supports core data would support that format, for free.

The next version of iChat will include Jabber support.
