Dunno, my parents used to leash me when we walk in the neighborhood when I was 4-5 years old, because I was far too curious for my own sake and would flee running anytime I'd see something looking interresting.
They considered that I was better leashed, looking stupid and safe than unleashed, looking cool and very flat after trying to headbutt a truck by accident.
Or people don't grasp that a dog is a slave to man, while a cat is only slave to himself and doesn't give jack shit about his so called owner unless it's feeding time or he wants to play. Cats are t3h w1n.
have you ever seen a new york times article appear in google?
Yes, because the Googlebot is a special exception on the NYTime's website (and a handful of other news-related subscription websites) and can go through anytime.
Drop the Googlebot's User Agent String [ Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html) ] into your browser if you're using Opera, or Firefox with Chris Pederick's User Agent Switcher extension, Safari and Konqueror probably provide User Agent faking as well. Then try to reach a "subscription only" NYTimes page, switch your UAS to Googlebot's, boom you're allowed in.
Check some previous slashdot news, our music labels (as well as some other stupid lobbys) have decided to become about 42 times worse than the American ones in a single move by trying to ban open-source and free (as in freedom) software.
It's not clear at all that one is faster than the other; in fact it really depends on how fast the DOM access is, which varies wildly between browsers and depends on exactly what it is you are doing.
"Fast" and "DOM Access" should never belong to the same phrase. Ever. Not without a negation somewhere anyway.
Or they should just create the application in the "legacy" way, then check if there is any area of the current application that could use AJAX (or other advanced Javascript technique) to improve usability, comfort or response time (user-wise) and layer it on top of the existing and working application.
This is the principle behind the Progressive Enhancement philosophy, and it allows your application to work fine in any and every context, be it your local nerd's text browser, your mom's Internet Explorer, your own Safapera 0.61.12.5 alpha or your gf's mobile phone (with it's probabilistic implementation of Javascript and it's 120*200px display)
Some people will have smoother interfaces, one or two more shinies, but everyone will have something that works, and that works (mainly) the same way.
Google, of all organisations, should know better than to trust IE for anything.
Would it be so hard for them to include a safer rendering engine? Gecko's good. KHTML's good. Both are free. Couldn't they have used those instead? Then if there were any bugs discovered, Google (having the source code) could fix 'em, rather than having to implement some workaround because Microsoft won't.
Embedding the MSHTML engine in a Win32 application (or using a framework that wraps the controls) takes a few seconds and requires no code integration at all, while using the Gecko engine takes a bit more work.
Or when I go to my ISP, I could pay more for more bandwidth.
Or when I go to my hosting provider, I could pay more for additional servers and storage.
You're a client of both your ISP and your provider, while your ISP is a client of the various websites that provide it with data and services (usually for free, mind you)
Last time I checked, the client isn't paid by the provider, yet that's exactly what that nutjob wants.
Not really, the issue here is that the hordes of mindless ZDNet goons can't tell the difference between an Email app (Mozilla Thunderbir) and a Groupware suite (Outlook).
To these failures of the journalism world, if you can get emails through it it's an email client.
So the headline should really state "ZDNET Fails To Grasp That A Groupware Application Is Not An Email Client"
What the hell do any of those things have to do with email?!
The fact that the ZDNet guys are to journalism what China is to freedom, and couldn't understand the difference between an Email client (Thunderbird, Mutt, Pine, Outlook Express) and a Groupware application/client (Outlook) to save their lives.
As it is, that's some damned fine performance; keeping level with dual core, incredibly hot, desktop processors?
Slow down cowboy, it's not Pentium-Ds or dual core Xeons we're talking about here, it's Athlon X2. 3800+ tops at 140W... Yeah Yonah "only" reaches 105W or something, but god I wouldn't want THAT one sitting on my lap, sorry mate but while a 30W CPU is ok with me I'm not fond of cooking my balls with a 100+W one (to give you a basis of comparison, that heat production is higher than AMD's Venice single core desktop CPUs).

Duh, frames still suck period.
Few has changed since Nielsen's first article on them, the only thing we could add being that iframes suck just as much as regular frames.
Most cats get fed as well, while doing what pleases them.
Mmm, very true indeed.
Sorry, just comes from observing the dogs&cats I or family owned, cats don't care about you unless you may be of any use.
If you're nice enough to them, they may reward you with a dead mice or something, though
Cats are never lost anyway, they perfectly know where they are.
At worst, they're geographically impaired.
Just buy a real dog instead of a crappy wimp of a stupid poodle.
Seriously, poodles are only good for kicking them across the fields, and feeding their rotten brains to their stupid owners.
Get a f'cking Siberian Husky or an Alaskan Malamute, feed him raw frozen meat as God meant him to be fed, and see if he gets "nervous or excited"
Or just get a Saint Bernard or a Great Pyrenee, these dogs had "nervousness" ripped out of their genomes centuries ago.

No, because it was not a bug in Google Desktop but a bug in IE that allowed the abuse of the Google Desktop software (and others, BTW).
Google changed part of their server software to remove the ability to use GDesktop the way it was used, but the flaw in MSIE is still there...
The VLC features documentation states that VLC is able to read WMV under (Open|Free)BSD
Yes it is, synchronizing thread is a fucking pain and synchronizing threads that deeply affect each other is a fiendish task.
Not PPC970 at all.
970 branches from IBM's Power4 architecture while the SPE/SPP cores branch from another PowerPC line (much simpler).
Whoa, not only you didn't RTFA (well, that's slashdot so it's ok) but you didn't even read the headline?

Please, pretty please, could I get to rent a flat in the fantasy world in which you're living?
