"Zappers," or automated sales suppression devices, have brought unheard of efficiencies and economies of scale to a very simple tax fraud - skimming cash sales at point of sale (POS) terminals (electronic cash registers). Until recently the largest tax fraud case in Connecticut, also the "largest computer driven tax-evasion case in the nation," was a zapper case. Stew Leonard's Dairy in Norwalk Connecticut skimmed $17 million in receipts and hid the cash in St. Martin (a Caribbean island).
I believe the problem is not that IE8 is embedded into the underlying OS, instead the reason for the reboot is probably so the IE common browser controls can be updated. Many applications use these controls because it is easier than developing your own HTML rendering engine from scratch. .
OK, so if what you are saying is correct then, when I update the IE application in Windows, that update loads up files that can make other applications fail if those files are buggy. Good thing, then, that Microsoft doesn't write buggy, insecure code.
I guess we are now holding an authoritative server to the promise not to change the NS record for the duration of the TTL, which is kinda what the TTL is for in the first place:) .
TTL does specify the Time To Live for a cached record before it is no longer considered to be valid.
TTL does not specify the length of time that changes are not allowed.
Go to a museum that archives photographs and ask them what to do. The answer may not be digital, but it will survive the 25 years you want it to survive.
They say that tracing optimization will 'take JavaScript performance into the next tier' and 'get people thinking about JavaScript as a more general-purpose language.' .
Using JavaScript as a general purpose language is a good thing?
I am already starting to receive annoying dinnertime recorded calls, talking about the elections in November. It will only get worse from here. Why doesn't the FTC ban all recorded calls?
Now nearing the ripe age of fifteen, Philo Farnsworth turned his team of horses around at the edge of the field and surveyed his work. Before him lay his mowed hay field, clearly delineated rows cut in alternating directions. Suddenly the future hit him with a vision so startling he could hardly sit still: a vision of television images formed by an electron beam scanning a picture in horizontal lines.... .
Best book on the early days of television that I have read. The above quote is from page 126.
It is not a big win for Microsoft, it is a big win for corps hosting their own app servers. I would think that eventually Google will release google apps on a server that corps could install in their own data centers.
What is needed in the JavaScript world is not more features, but more consistency of implementation across the various browsers. .
It is good to see the standards committee taking a breather from major new features, and instead focusing upon the alignment of behavior of functionality across the various browsers.
Hopefully, there will be a robust and rigorous compliance test suite as a deliverable of this standards process.
One would also think that the submitter could at least put a correct headline on the old news, a headline that reflects the current status of the news item. .
Instead, we are treated to a headline that displays inaccurate three-day old information.

No need to stand outside. You drilled right into the crux of the matter.
Think about it. "utterly indistinguishable" What does that really mean?
Perhaps it means that the limits of our measurement capabilities have been reached.....

If Microsoft is involved, non-responsiveness to users, bloat, and crashing are in its genes. And don't forget DRM.
~~~Do you have the license to look at those stars?~~~
~~~You may only make one copy of those star images.~~~

Practical benefit is not perfection, it is good enough. You are confirming my point. :)
But then the question becomes: is measurement at the atom level really good enough? Or is it accepted as good enough only because we can do no better?
... perfection is only a limitation of the measurement process used to find flaws.

...when Microsoft bought its way to approval of what it wanted? Microsoft has lots of cash. Why should the W3C be any different?

Then IE8 is still too deeply in bed with the underlying OS, requiring extraordinary security mesaures in order to remain secure.
There is no reason why a browser application should require a reboot of the OS.
Do you still have to reboot after installing the IE8 application?

Two additional things are not acceptable:

Just one of the ways to tamp down support for the new release is to incorporate a brain-dead notification screen for self-signed certificates.
Maybe things will balance out. ;)

Three years down the road, Linux will still be suffering from too many distributions and continuing to think that is an advantage.
