Currently, they've bowed to pressure from WHATWG (a group formed by incumbent minor browser vendors) to require future upgrades to all be backwards compatible, including specifying rules for parsing broken web pages and requiring all future standards to support them.
Since when is XHTML2 going to be backwards compatible? From W3C:
such strict element-wise backwards compatibility is no longer necessary... Much of XHTML 2 works already in existing browsers; much, but not all: just as when forms and tables were added to HTML, and people had to wait for new version of browsers before being able to use the new facilities, some parts of XHTML 2, principally XForms and XML Events, still require user agents that understand that functionality.
And sure they're specifying a rule for parsing broken web pages... they're specifying that they shouldn't be parsed at all.
Not that it will pass, but it would be pleasant not to be a criminal for burning the DVDs I own for viewing on my PSP...
DN Incase the summary was too long to read, that still would be illegal.

then all the federales will be able to see will be the MAC addresses of my network cards, and have no idea where to find said network cards on the wireless network.
Unless you purchased your network card on a credit card at a place that scans the MAC address along with the UPC when they ring you up, like CompUSA does. (to make sure you don't return a different network card for a refund)
I didn't think it was a flame war, I just didn't understand the link you were making between atheism and eugenics. I guess the confusion comes from me not considering atheism to be synonymous with evolution. I know several christians and jews who agree with evolution, and while most atheists agree that evolution does occur, lacking belief in a god doesn't necessarily lead to belief in evolution, any more than it necessarily leads to belief in string theory.
Pretty much what I'm saying is, the premise "evolution is synonymous with atheism" is false if there's even one theist who believes evolution or one atheist who doesn't. Several theists believe evolution, so the premise is false. Your association of between eugenics and atheism depends on that premise, so the argument isn't sound.
This isn't a flame at all. I agree with you that fundamentalist religion isn't necessarily evil, and I'm not trying to argue against that. I'm just pointing out that the logic behind your sig is flawed, regardless of the conclusion it reaches.
Actually, looking here http://www.apple.com/legal/sla/, the phrase is "This License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time."
I took that to mean that I can only install it on one Apple-labeled computer at a time, but as many non-apple computers as i want.
Since when does telling potential customers that they'll have to camp out for several nights in January/February to maybe get a copy of a piece of software encourage people to come to your store?
It's the whole "but you'd better buy now!" thing. It works. If they don't get it now, they might be the only person on the block who doesn't have it! Oh no!
They ask for id where I grew up such that I was unable to purchase rated-R tickets myself. I could go were I to have an adult with me to purchase the tickets. I feel the same premise would work for video games.
That may not be the standard everywhere else but I'm not overly traveled.
Because of company policy, and because the movie industry would take away some privileges if they didn't. They weren't required by law to check your ID. The fact that pretty much every theater in the united states has that policy is proof that you don't need it written in law.
In my experience, you can do it with standards, or you can do it so it renders properly in Internet Explorer.

That's a common problem when you're just starting w/ standards. Just making sure IE's running in standards mode (by giving it a doctype and such) fixes most of the ugliest IE CSS rendering bugs, and there are ways around the others.
(Lets face facts here, I'm paying for the convenience of the packaging (which includes the DVD itself AND the case), not the movie itself, which is available for free (minus ISP costs) online).
I would like to humbly thank you for properly nesting your parentheses. You, sir, are truly a programmer.
Which conveys more information: ASCII character "9" or a pixel?
If the pixel can be one of 256 colors, they convey the exact same amount of information, as the ASCII character "9" is one character of 256 ASCII characters (including control characters and null). And you can fit many such pixels in the space it would take to display an ASCII "9".

Objection to form.
Lack of foundation.
The "ascii" link isn't encoded as ascii, it's encoded as ISO-8859-1.
ISO-8859-1 != ascii
UTF-8 != ascii
"plain text" != ascii (sometimes)

Because if someone doesn't believe in a god, they clearly support the selective breeding of humans. Wtf?
I took that to mean that I can only install it on one Apple-labeled computer at a time, but as many non-apple computers as i want.
Because only the ones you agree with and like are "real" christians. Oh the joys of "no true scotsman".

Fallopian tubes?
only people on slashdot need a wikipedia link to know what fallopian tubes are. after all, they're somewhat related to sex.and iCal keeping track of what time zone you're in while you travel would be very welcome
