Err yes! That's what it was designed for. A way of allowing website website communication as well as thickclient website communication.
It is a RPC mechanism which is primarilly layered on top of HTTP. Don't make the mistake that just becuase it typically uses HTTP for transport, or is used in "Web Services" that it will only be used in a benign way, or that it is benign by design.
People are alreay starting to use it for mission critical RPC. It is a disaster waiting to happen.
Um. Kind of like how people are using HTTP and the web for mission critical *manual* data input and presentation?
Want to do RPC? Sure! Just tunnel it through port 80!
Well, SOAP is designed to allow applications to have access to the kind of context-full information humans would have access to through the web anyway.
You're not sending anything that wouldn't have been sent anyway.
Take the Google webservice as an example. You can make RPC calls to Google over port 80 -- but it's not much different from a human doing a manual Google search from a browser.
It is though windows developers are expected to always have windows the same size that they use, where MacOSX developer will always be thinking about how the window behaves at all sizes.
Well Windows is heavily coordinate based -- and it encourages. Dialog boxes (for example) are defined as resources with sizes and locations all strictly defined in pixel coordinates.
The Windows API doesn't have inbuilt support for layout management. MFC doesn't have inbuilt support for layoutmanagement. And Windows Forms, even though it is relatively new, has such poor support (compared to Swing and other toolkits) that one has to wonder if the developer responsible had a computer science degree.
It's ofcourse, possible to write wrapper toolkits that support advanced layout management on windows. My point was that Windows doesn't natively support it and Microsoft doesn't encourage it (their own products don't use layout management).
Uh huh. And that's why Windows apps still don't use layout management?
How many times have you seen:
+ Fixed sized text boxes that are 5 lines long. + Controls that extend off the edge of the window. + Fixed sized windows and dialog boxes.
And no, layout management in Windows Forms doesn't count. Docking is *terrible*. Controls Don't cooperate with each other causing docked and anchored controls to overlap each other.
What's wrong with Grok? I use Grok all the time -- and I never say fsck instead of fuck.
"They're" is a contraction of "they are". So, according to you, the sentence should read, "They mentioned they are extremely high selling live cards too."
It makes sense if you thought that he was saying that the Audigy cards were extremely high selling.
Other scientists said that while the prints appear well-preserved, they add little to knowledge about human evolution, since footprints of far older human ancestors have been found.
Admittedly most their articles are funny because they're true (all their articles are based on "bible facts"). However, I think if you read all their articles and quizes you'll see they have a very cunning satirical nature.
Would the brain always remember things or, in the case of trauma, learn to halt impulses before they reach the implanted area so that they are "forgotten"?
Well the article says that the hippocampus is responsible for making us learn new memories. Surely, the information has *already* passed by the hippocampus so halting the impulses before they reach the implanted area won't make them "forgetten" it'll make them "never remembered".

Slash removed my arrows.
The third sentence should be:
A way of allowing website <-> website communication as well as thickclient <-> website communication.
Err, no

Oh, and I forgot to mention...
HTML has non-trivial layout management support and Microsoft have had *no* problems designing a good GUI designer for it (Frontpage).
I'd rather design dialogs in the Dialog Editor (or whatever they call it now) than on the fly with Tk/wxWindows/whatever.
Have you seen the Netbeans UI designer? It does drag'n'drop with full layout management support suprisingly well.
I'd rather just define the general layout of my form rather than sit there fidgetting with pixel locations (VB style).
It is though windows developers are expected to always have windows the same size that they use, where MacOSX developer will always be thinking about how the window behaves at all sizes.
Absolutely. Think "Visual Basic".

Yeah, I felt like an idiot.
I actually thought Telastyn was trying to point out that the Audigy was high selling as a direct response to the parent post's slow-selling comment.
That's what I get for staying up all night.
What's wrong with Grok? I use Grok all the time -- and I never say fsck instead of fuck.

I misunderstood what he was trying to say.
I thought he meant to say that the Audigy cards were high selling.
I misread.
Oops.
Huh? they mentioned their extremely high selling live cards too.
Your comment took me ages to grok. I assume you meant they're and not their.
World's Oldest Human Footprints
Other scientists said that while the prints appear well-preserved, they add little to knowledge about human evolution, since footprints of far older human ancestors have been found.
I'd hardly call the EV1 small, ugly or impractical.

Uh it's a parady site written by atheists. Isn't it obvious?
He's a guy but according to my church he's also gay.
Windows Media Player has been bundled with windows as far back as Win31 (perhaps more).

Well actually the application .config file can be used to tell the app to specifically bind to a definite assembly version.
I always thought ".DNA" (Dot Net Assembly) was a good extension.
:\.
Microsoft obviously don't agree
Even ActiveX controls had a recommended non DLL file extension (.OCX).
So you're saying that the new DB based file system prohibits the use of floppy drives, zip drives, cdrws, email, ftp, http etc?
Where are you getting this information or are you just making it up like the article does?
So you're saying that if I have a 120GB ATA133 drive I will be limited to 5Kb/s (home user) or 100MBps ("large company" user).
.net server.
Dream on. The file system has nothing to do with *forcing* users to pass flies through a
