this is really all just pedantic BS. You have to qualify that it is "w3c compliant" or "valid html 4.0", you can't just say that valid html is defined by the w3c when so many apps will render invalid html. The traditional definition of the word defeats the argument. For instance, Jay-Walking is a valid method for getting across the street. Legally you could argue that it is an invalid method for crossing the street, but logically you cannot deny that the walker has crossed the street. So, yes I would say that bad implementations DO automatically define a new kind of validity. If browsers refused to render invalid pages, then the terms "valid html" and "w3c compliant html" would become synonymous, but that has not happened.
I couldn't agree more, education is the foundation of our society. Furthermore the taxes that pay for it are a pittance compared to the taxes paid for other wasteful expenditures. Honestly, I don't think dealing with a simple idiot is enough here, maybe he should live next to a couple of illiterate 28 year olds for a week. After seeing the two of them dive into drugs, alcohol, and non-stop baby-making. The logical conclusion is that money not spent on education is typically spent on corrections.
ot but we had a problem with potholes on our street for years. Finally, after complaining and complaining they finally got fixed. Now our kids can't play in the street cause everyone drives too fast through it.
I was kinda being sarcastic, never been there. Once upon a time it seemed like a likely hood. Can you get someone's autograph? Or a drawing by some nutbag?
I've got two responses to this.
1. I'm sarcastic, heavily so. It causes unfortunate public situations, I deal with it. Some folks don't get it AND may feel insulted. Here's a question, did you watch tv as a kid?
2. the excersize is simple, plan out further in the future. I think it's basically, a method for visualizing how we came to the y2k bug. Essentially, we reverted to our grandparents' style of writing the year. We weren't supposed to, but computers came along and caught us being lazy with our math. I don't know, but after a little contemplation - it fits quite well.
I've been introduced prior to reading this. It's really just the thought of long term planning rather than short term. They want to build a clock that will put things in a longer period of concept. Visually this is a fantastic thing that they want to build. The idea that the hands will move in time frames too large for the naked eye, is an astounding thought. As far as computers go, they intend on building a device that offers itself as a secondary system for keeping math with computers.
this is exactly the point. The kernel is a software project, bugs are bugs, differentiating security bugs from the rest falls into the hands of those that do security audits. The presumption is that a developer ought to write secure code, when they don't it's a bug. Anything beyond that, is simply put: Not the developers job. The distributions are responsible for translating lower level information to the end user, not Linus.
pish, posh. I was raised a feminist without the benefit of a father figure to counterbalance the 'feel-goody-women-are-independent-bullshit'. After 29 years of treating women like they supposedly want to be treated, I've pretty much decided fuckit. I assert the crazy bitch (yea I said it) that decorates her tits up like a wedding cake and gets pissed at guys that look, is doing so for attention (duh, right?). Of all the goddamn things feminists have bitched about, the one thing that gives women the most power is something they have barely even fucking looked at. they need to ask guys out once in a while, you know participate in choosing the mate they are going to spend the rest of their lives with. They will hardly get around being objectified if they are constantly competing with one another over the man of their dreams by dressing up like a damn pinup doll. Seriously, women have very little comradery because they blame one another for stealing each other's boyfriends, dress up like whores to get his attention, settle for an asshole because they are afraid no one else will seek them out, blah blah blah and on and on and on. If women don't want to be objectified they should goddamn well quit acting like "objects" waiting for the most aggressive dick-wad to come along and "pick them up". But, you know, that's just my opinion.
I really would like someone to make a scientific study of this particular phenomenon. WTF is wrong with these bitches - dress in your underwear and people will look, they might not even think you're the hot shit you think you are.
are you sure? Maybe the mentally ill person is wondering why sco gets away with it and he doesn't? Honestly, if we were to admit he were mentally ill he wouldn't belong in prison, if he's not ill then surely he jests.
so, what's the difference between ledgible and artistic? Not all of the typefaces we use are necessarily ledgible. At first I thought the first sample was pretty bad, but after looking at it, I noticed that his lettering was consistent. Whether I thought it was appealing or not does not matter. I have in the past worked on my signature, simply to make it stand out a bit and more distinct. Point? The point is, I can't pen my name with the consistency that Erik Spiekerman spells "handwriting". He has found what works best for him and applies it *every* time he writes, me I still can't decide how big of a loop to make for the letter "e".
I'm one of those adults. I'm 28 and if I walk around with a backpack on I will get pulled over for smoking. been pulled over for curfew, ditching class etc. I would be pretty annoyed if I had to carry around a fake beard just to buy cigs.

Yeah, but we're not talking about high school we're talking about higher education - the place where the corporate predators get brainwashed.
I think you've pointed directly at the Achilles' heel of patent reform

Oh, wow, cause nobody ever argues over the implementation of a spec right?

you mean people don't just stab, kill, and rape each other all the time??
lol, no offense, I used to live in illinois and visit wisconsin, never heard the term before... wonder why? ;)

if cold fusion were possible why isn't everything burning(?) at one temperature or another?

souls are a fiat currency - they have value so long as everyone *believes*.

It's slashdot man. His mom asked him to pick up the condoms. He showed her how to setup a myspace profile and has regretted it ever since.
