OK, here is an example of what I mean. Standard 3 column layout, with a left nav, right nav, and centered content. Commonly done simply like this.
left content... center content... right content...
Show me how to do that succinctly using CSS2 in a way that properly flows the center content as you resize the browser. You can't. You can ONLY do it by using a big mess of floats and percentages that is anything but simple and results in a pile of markup.
The big problem with CSS2 (and even CSS3) is it is seeminly designed by publishing professionals, all geared up around fixed sizing. It does not work well with reflowing content at all.
And how do you make sane rules deciding what is on your network and what is not when every machine in your network has a globally routable IP address? And don't point me at the horribly busted RFC 4193.
That's not possible for a few reasons. First, you would need root-access to the Android OS. Second, even if you have rooted your phone, any time an app asks for root a big box takes over the phone and you HAVE to accept it within 5 seconds or that app is blacklisted from ever asking for root again.
The idea that NAT will go away just because a network is IPv6 is a pipe dream. No sane security admin would ever allow that. The idea that the firewall is the only thing between you and the outside world is, and should be, a non starter.
IT security is all about multiple layers, and one of them is the fact that you have a DMZ between you and the internet, and that the internet can't route outside of it. That is not going anywhere.
You may think "photoshop can't be browser based", but you may be surprised. As an example, my wife recently directed all her desktop photo apps and only uses picnik.com. Granted, it is certainly not photoshop - but I can see it eventually getting there, maybe as early as a year or two.
Really, with Canvas and WebGL, there is nothing browsers can't do today that a desktop app can do.
I don't understand how the privacy commissioner of Canada (who has actually no powers at all, all she can do is recommended things) got to see the logs, while the AGs of several states (who actually do have a lot of legal power) can not.
Nature doesn't care how it looks, it cares what it's footprint is. Roads result in a segmented habitat, millions of tons of CO2, and roadkill galore. This would result in none of those.
With UBB in Canada coming down thanks to the CRTC, increased speed is irrelevant. Hell I have 25 Mbit now with only a 125 GB cap - I can download my whole cap in under 11 hours.
Until broadband is unmetered the raw speed is becoming irrelevant since you will be unable to use it for anything it demands.
I think the point was making a comment like "wow more than two people buy from the android market" is something only a fanboy would say, because it is complete BS.
CSS has no sane table layout syntax. The only way to do tables in CSS is to basically DUPLICATE the HTML table syntax using div tags with table properties on them - tell me how that is better in any way shape or form?
There is a difference between content markup, content layout, and content styling. The problem is people get them all confused and try to shoe-horn improper tools in each.
As has been mentioned above - you can tell from your comments you are just a home user.
Try writing OS-level software (stuff that is imaged onto the device) that depends on the NIC in position 1 on the PCI bus always being the management interface (IE, the first port in the chassis). Remember this software has to know IN ADVANCE which port it is, you can't use the MAC for this at all.
This has been a problem in Linux for years and one that developers have always had to hack and slash around. I am glad RedHat is finally fixing it. Hopefully other distributions will follow suit.
Most laser pointers are polarized. Why isn't the glass in airfraft fitted with a polarizing filter.
The odds of someone's handheld laser (which is subjet to random orientation) being able to replicate the exact polarization of a windshield is very very small.
The cost to switch to IPv6 is not flipping a switch. It will cost trillions upon trillions of dollars globally to migrate. Selling investments like that in the middle of a global recession is not small potatoes
People on slahsdot talk about IPv6 migration like it is simple - it is NOT. There are a lot more devices than your local router, and a lot more pieces of software then your desktop OS, that have to support IPv6 before it can be migrated. Companies have decades worth of software with hundreds upon hundreds of millions of lines of code, all assuming an IP is 4 bytes.
The IPv6 switchover makes the Y2k thing look like small potatoes, namely because the IP stack is a much more integral piece of functionality in a lot of software than the absolute date ever was - that and you have a lot more to switch over today than you did in 1999.
While schemes like the MPAA and ESRB systems are good in theory (rate the content, allow people to make their own decisions), the market realities of them basically end up resulting in "no adult content allowed". No one will stock or publish an ESRB AO game, just like no theatres ever show NC-17 films. As such there is no money in them, and the end up never being made.
I am getting really tired of arguments like the above, which are total nonsense.
The idea that the masses would just ditch YouTube because they have to install a plugin is nonsensical. It has so much content and such branding that it is simply not realistic, there is no current competitor to YouTube on the web. The closest thing, was Google Video!
If people have to do a one-time install of a plugin to watch YouTube in IE - they will.
Saying that people will ditch YouTube because they have to install a plugin, is like saying people will ditch their favorite cereal because you change the box art. It just IS NOT going to happen. You may lose a couple, gain a couple, but on the whole the impact will be immaterial.
I see no signs that pirating is "rampant" on the PS3, or that it will have any meaningful impact on Sony's busniess. In fact, the 360 has been modded FOREVER, as have the Wii.
Anyone can pirate any games they want on these platforms, and I don't see that fact hurting the bottom line of the Xbox division or Nintendo.
The game media seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill here. I doubt Sony cares about this as much as the media thinks they do.
Once installed, Soundminder sits in the background and waits for a call to be placed -- hence the access to the 'Phone calls' category....
Er, perhaps this is why you should not be giving random applications access to your phone calls. There is a reason the android security system prompts you for this stuff.
Yahoo! mail is the back-end provider of mail for all Rogers internet customers in Canada, and also their default home page.
That alone accounts for 2 million or more homes according to stats I just googled.
I don't know if they are also the back-end provider for any US or EU ISPs but if they are then that is significant. I think they are... they inherited everyone who was an "@Home" ISP back in the day.
The argument against allowing custom ROMs usually comes down to one of supportability. A company can not be reasonably expected to sit back and honour their warranty while you go around flashing custom modem firmware that could brick your device at any moment.
What they should come up with, is a hardware-level version of the water immersion sticker. An eFuse write-once-only bit that, if an unauthorized firmware is detected, gets set. From that moment on, your warranty is void.
This solves all problems. Hackers can install their own ROMs if they want, and Motorola does not have to worry about support fees.
If you have a rooted Android and your own kernel you can make the base filesystems anything you want, included AES encrypted loopback. It takes some doing, but anyone who knows how to do it in linux can do it in android, it is just a bit of a hassle to do so.

The same way one does in 2011?

Show me hard evidence. On both sides.Until then this whole thing is heresay.

Wow that brings back some memories!!!
Now THAT is a movie I would like to get a BD remaster of, all cleaned up, so that when I have kids I know they can watch it...
Time for some googling...
