yeah, and Napster, iTunes, Podcasting, newsreaders (you can download files on binaries), emule and DirectConnect clients should be embedded in the browser too...
oh, and a Waste client, since you can use Waste for data exchanges.
Oh, and by the way even though the analogy is flawed (because you don't create softwares the way you create mathematical algorithms, I'll grand you that) Rocard is far from a stupid guy, my guess is that he wanted something that would clarify the matter in the minds of the ones less tech-savvy and informed than him.
Duh, software runs instructions in processors, and every single one of these instructions is a basic mathematical operation. Softwares are awfully complex mathematical formulas generated through several levels of abstractions, but they're still nothing more than that, mathematical formulas.
You got it badly wrong here. The voting shows, that it is an important issue and both sides try to play on safety. Both sides voted against the bill.
The anti-patent side because they feard the bill without proposed amendmends.
The pro-patent side because they feard the amendments.
Mod parent up, this is exactly the reason why it was trashed, anti-patent managed to put enough amendments in to literally prevent the pro-patents lobby to vote for the directive. Had it passed in the current ammended state it would've been a loss-loss situation.
Very well played from the anti-patents
Because the size of the computer is proportional to the difficulty in programming it.
It's not about size here, it's about usability.
computers of the 60s didn't have any kind of screens and keyboards, no languages as high level as *basic* (or anything even remotely close), you were punching cards into the sucker and trying to fit whatever you could into the few avaible bytes and cycles avaible.
So yes, a '60s computer was a magnitude harder to program than a TRS-80.
Well... ok, you have a point here... but you're comparing to One Piece, that's cheating, only animes like Ebichu, Excel Saga or Jungle wa Itsumo manage to take themselves less seriously than One Piece...
It's interesting to note, however, that only Anime targetted at kids is making huge inroads. While an adult may enjoy it, I assume the target audience for Pokemon and DBZ are children. The "serious" anime is limited to well known movies such as Akira and GitS.
It's not "interresting", it's merely cause mainstream westerner culture considers that comic books are mainly for child... and that cartoons are only 100% restricted to children.
Most people would find watching cartoons (and admitting it) shameful unless said cartoons can have some kind of historical or personal value (ol' Tex Avery cartoons and early Warner Bros for example).
That's probably going to change in the next decades or so, with the anime generation (the ones who grew up watching Goldorak and Albator, and mighty sentais such as X-Or) gradually gaining weight as the adult workforce
Bleach? Taking itself seriously? We mustn't have been watching the same show bro. There are serious passages as in just about every shonen, but taking itself seriously is a bit farfetched...
50% of the US voted to keep GWB. Does the fact that there are many of them make'em less stupid? no sir. Being the majority never made you right, it merely makes the opposition shut up from the fear of being beaten to a pulp.
The word is Don Park's, and the problem here is that embedding RSS/Podcasting deep into the os allows attacker to use overflows to inject code right into the OS' libs&spaces instead of merely crashing/killing the application.
It's kinda like ActiveX Vs XUL.
Weapon box versus sandbox and that kind of neafty things
Last time I checked, Safari had RSS support and iTunes 4.9 had podcasting but OSX itself didn't integrate RSS & podcasting into the kernel or os space...
I also spotted the IF in "If there are any vulnerabilities in iPod".
Way to miss the clue train, the phrase was "if there are any vulnerabilities in iPod codec or any MP3 player hooked up to podcast sync client codec then". The issue here is that the codecs may have vulerabilities to buffer overflows (even images formats ain't immune to that) and that integrating RSS & podcasting deep into longhorn may unleash yet another way to fuck it up.
You don't even have to use XML server side, since you can get raw text from the xmlHttpRequest object. For small transferts, the XML overhead is much bigger than the data itself and makes no sense...
In ASP.NET 2.0, it even generates standards-compliant XHTML 1.1 if you want it to.
It may generate it, but it sure as hell won't release it.
OMFG... innerHTML is so much easier; why can't the W3C add it to their standards!?!
Dude, innerHTML is not "easier", it's "faster". much faster. But also a hundred times less powerful, needs heavy string manipulations and can't be re-modified using DOM...
Uh, you're not supposed to *parse* XML using JS, you're supposed to let the browser's XML parser do his job and THEN walk your DOM Tree using JS&JSDOM...
100% standards compliant XHTML? When you can't even have it generate XHTML 1.0 Strict cause the devs thought "XHTML 1.1 is the same" even though god forbid they could send this XHTML 1.1 with the required application/xhtml+xml MIME?
I'm not sure you really understood how the DOM works...
The initial page may still be valid, but the modified DOM won't be.
Try CTRL+A + right click => View Selection Source under Firefox and validate that one.
I betcha the validator will tell you to stick it up your ass.

hey, guess what?
You can do that...
And a text file is... well... textual, just like and HTML file...
Integration doesn't matter at all, you can't shut down "Bittorent" for BT is a protocol, not a network.
Talking about shutting down "Bittorent" is akin to trying to shut down "HTTP" or "TCP/IP".
Uh, if you click on a .torrent, your browser downloads it, then it's up yours to run or not said torrent file in a BT client.
.torrent != Bittorent served file is a whole other issue.
You ask your browser to download a file and it does so, seems pretty fucking consistant to me...
Now, you not being able to understand that
On a side note, it should be noted that Opera is no better in that field...

And since the browser is already open 95% of the time, it's just one click away anyway...

How about reading what the AC said two posts above yours and 5mn earlier?
Whoa, the innovation, able to close a window in a click, almost like magic...

Duh, Microsoft didn't create CSS, they were the firsts to implement it in a browser (because it seemed like a good move over NS4).
Oh, and window.event blows, badly, if only MS could implement the DOM events into MSIE life would be so fucking much easier...
