    another project might be a YAML C++ library and the equivalent of XSLT for YAML.

    That seems a little under-ambitious. Here's a little wrapper around the parser end of libyaml (which, if I remember correctly, was also a SoC project): http://git.snoyman.com/cppweb.git?a=blob;f=src/cppmodels/yaml.hpp;h=e67377c792309a51eb5a4c9dac05ba89befd38d6;hb=HEAD.

    There's more to it than that. Microsoft is a convicted monopolist, so legally they are in different categories.

    You can find iGestures on eBay, but they're fetching a pretty penny last time I checked. They even have a macro editor and such so you can assign any finger gesture to almost anything.

    Any finger gesture? I have a finger gesture I'd like to map to "send nasty e-mail". Could be useful.

    You forgot one.... You need silverlight to be installed. This one got me.

    You mean you're an Microsoft OEM builder in Australia, and you read Slashdot, and you were interested in the free shirt, but then after finding out you'd need to install yet another Microsoft product (after being an OEM builder mind you) you decided it wasn't worth it?

    Indeed. I'm sure scientists would be astounded to discover that there is a "layer" around the Earth comprised of "ozone".

    Thank you, that was a very informative post on the flaws of Google. I hadn't known/remembered most of those issues, and it's very enlightening. Out of curiosity, do you believe the wikia (I believe I remembered that correctly) would possibly be a good competitor based on this?

  19. Re:And then there were two on Microsoft Bids $44.6 Billion For Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Google really needs competition. We as Internet users really need Google to have competition. Search does not meet our needs as a product.

    Could you please explain where search isn't good enough? Google works well enough for me (and just about everyone I know). I've never really sat back and thought, "Damn, I wish there was some better search engine out there."

  21. Re:Hmmm... on Microsoft Believes IBM Masterminded Anti-OOXML Initiative · · Score: 1

    In reality, we should be pissed at both Microsoft and IBM; they're both subverting a process that is soposed to be for the good of the consumers.

    Frankly, if the only way to stop something bad from occurring is to subvert a flawed process, I don't mind. The fact the M$ was able to buy votes the way it did is flawed enough for me, and I think most people here agree that OOXML passing would have been a Bad Thing. So no, I'm not pissed at IBM over this.

  23. Re:javascript compatibility on Microsoft Confirms IE8 Has 3 Render Modes · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'll admit I haven't done a huge amount of javascript coding, but from what I have done, it seems that intermediate libraries (like jQuery) really abstract away all those issues. I know from (painful) experience that there is no such possibility with CSS. However, please let me know if the former statement is not true, I'd be very interested.

    I've only heard it on the radio. It might be on TV, but I don't watch TV. And no, I don't know the tag line; I wish I did so I could play it for my wife. It's one of the funniest ads I've ever heard.

  25. Re:EULA on Ford Claims Ownership Of Your Pictures · · Score: 1

    But according to their new ad campaign, they're making good cars now. You know, like a Toyota. Seriously, it was so much better I didn't think Ford *possibly* could have made it, so it must be from one of those cool Japanese companies. (I'm referencing the recent Ford ad campaign; if you haven't heard it, this won't make any sense.)
