I don't usually correct another's spelling, but since you incorrectly spelled MacLeod while pointing out someone else's spelling mistake, I thought it prudent:)
These problems are generally disjoint. Identical cross browser rendering depends on everyone playing the standards game or everyone playing the let's add fixes for every browser game. The AI problem depends on solving the problem of genuine artificial intelligence without the need to pay attention to cross platform compatibility. That said, I doubt we'll see real AI this decade either:)
Science has, arguably, improved our lives in very real and very practical ways. It's a bit harder to make that case for philosophy.
That's the problem with not being able to see outside of our reality. If our reality was just turned on a second before you made that statement, then for all considerations of our existence, science is at the exact same stage it was when you popped into existence with a complete repertoire of conjured memories. Consider what happens when you boot up a game and everything is pre-oriented as the game was staged. So too may be true for reality. Given that argument, maybe science has done nothing for us;)
Why is it sad that you found him? I would be joyous at having found and stopped such a person. That he committed suicide is his own doing and really shouldn't bear on your own happiness. In fact, when such people commit suicide, deep down I feel happy that they didn't drag their victims through the legal system nor waste even more of society's resources and time.
I didn't see anything new for uploading files. It would be great if improved support for uploads could be considered. Currently uploading 10 files requires 10 file widgets and performing the browse/select process for each one. It would be nice if the kind of interface found on sites like facebook for uploading multiple images/files could be achieved without the need for Flash or Java.
As of PHP 4, eval() returns NULL unless return is called in the evaluated code, in which case the value passed to return is returned. If there is a parse error in the evaluated code, eval() returns FALSE and execution of the following code continues normally. It is not possible to catch a parse error in eval() using set_error_handler()
There are two very distinct sides to the argument. Namely why sites that rely solely on advertising revenue feel ripped off when all their ads are blocked. And conversely, why visitors who get spanked with a myriad of annoying flashing, moving, often very scammy ads are pissed off. But to respond to your comment:
If I use Adblock, this implies that I specifically installed it because I do not want to look at ads, so I block them.
I recently loaded up konqueror to test out my http://www.swarmbuy.com/ site and was quite surprised to find that by default all ads had been blocked. Now, this isn't Firefox, but it does indicate that such functionality, maybe down the road, isn't necessarily specifically installed by the user.
Microsoft's marketing strategy is actually quite simple. It follows the triple E system. Embrace, Extend, Exterminate. It also has another strategy is the triple B system. Buy Out, Bloat Up, and Bilk.
While I agree it's quite expensive especially since it's recurring. One advantage to be had is that it provides a mechanism for an off-site storage location. Your house or business burns down and you still have your data. Part of the question I guess is how easy it would be to backup data to the remote storage area. I imagine that will become very easy using a fuse driver to mount the google storage space as a hard drive. This is superior to using gmail since one would presume changes to the storage mechanism would cause corruption grief:)
That's right, because the content within the layout would use the appropriate semantic tags to describe that very content. Layout is just layout, semantically the table is described as layout, but the content within if you need amphasis or a title can still use the appropriate semantic tag.
No way, that's going back to the old table mess. HTML is semantic, lay-out has no place in it. Your new tag is not semantic. Sure it's semantic. It's telling the browser it's plain old layout. That IS semantic. I'm not saying get rid of CSS, CSS is great, but the way CSS and divs currently complicate what used to be simplistic with tables IMHO is a strong argument for the return to simplicity of using a table for layout. Also if layout has no place in HTML please explain the purpose of the
tag and the tag if not for layout.
If thay can add a tag wrapper around a
tags top change the semantics then I think they should consider also adding a tag wrapper that tells browsers the table used within is for layout purposes only. Then we can be done with the craptastic state of using CSS div kludges to layout data. Old pages wil lbe compatible, future browsers will understand that the table within is just for layout.

You don't get out and about often do you? PHP has an excellent CLI facilitating easy production of shell scripts.
Please cite real studies done that back up this opinion. Thanks. Just because you say it's so, doesn't make it so.

Why is that irony? It's contextual advertising working as it was designed.

Yes it does, it says it's not tabular data, it's layout data :)

Hiring 1 person that works 40 hrs/week is better than hiring 5 people that work 40 hrs/week and produce the same results.
