There are decade-old Bugzilla bugs for this feature. It gets ignored purely because of money - Google gives Mozilla a huge chunk of change and in return they prevent users from having (by default) the ability to block AdSense, and set the default page to a google search box.
Microsoft has no such dependency on advertisers, which is why they had no inhibitions to adding a JS whitelist/blacklist (via its security zones) over 10 years ago. The rest of the browser is shit, but that's just MS software for you.
Makes me wonder if money was the reason for killing MNG off and replacing it with a stillborn format...
Don't get your hopes up... I've seen real code that's worse.

No, no no. PHP is the "new COBOL". It's a horrible language, but it's built up too much inertia to get rid of it or most of its backward-compatibility disasters.
If you want the new VB take a look at Ruby - a language that lets you bring any webserver to its knees in only 5 minutes and 10* lines of code, no experience required.
But your break-even equation is invalid, because it's based on the assumption that grid electricity will remain cheap for the next ~15 years. The grid doesn't exactly have 99.999% uptime either.
There was a TV programme about someone who had a car crash, spent 20 years in a coma then woke up one day. Presumably by your language, you already know about that, right? And every other unusual case like this?
I was disappointed that I had to get halfway down the comments before anyone pointed out Disney. They're the reason copyright is as evil as it is today.
My electricity's about £0.11/kWh which is more or less the same. There were a few places here selling 300W wind turbines (which works better than solar since it's a semi-rural area with lots of crap weather), but the local power company (which has a monopoly, again since it's in the middle of nowhere) slings FUD around and fights tooth and nail against things like that, so it didn't last long.
If it's anything like the computing course I did in college, they spent 80% of the time doing paperwork and 19% watching slideshow presentations. Maybe they thought they were learning something but were too bored to notice the difference.

I can post comments less than 5 minutes apart just fine. Maybe it's based on the amount of whining a user does?
How about first getting the PHP developers to add a sane and logical way of sanitizing HTML.
Hackers can just fire up a different browser, so the number of hackers this will stop are exactly ZERO.
If you're that ignorant to how XSS actually works, then no amount of browser-based security will save you.

Are you calling Javascript proprietary? Or are you claiming OOXML is an open standard?

*plus 800000 lines of framework
Skip TFA - the conclusion is that these benchmarks are invalid.
At least they've improved since last time - they no longer benchmark filesystems using a Quake 3 timedemo.
Nothing wrong with the protocol
Sorry, but any protocol that corrupts data because a notepad.exe compatibility switch was set the wrong way is just completely fucked up.
After seeing the difficulty people have in arranging those four letters in the correct order, I agree
Just because you're one (by your own logic), doesn't mean I am.

No retraction. He merely bought off the civil cases. Any moron knows what happened,let alone wise men.
Obviously you are a pedophile and serial killer then, since you can't buy me out.

Are you sure it's not you who's full of shit?

If you think by using windows in any form will get you 'assimilated by a botnet' by default, then are you sure you can administer any OS that well?
Remember MSBLAST.EXE? You obviously don't, or you wouldn't post such rubbish.
I seem to remember a story a few months back where they distributed code taken from a PC game crack in an official update.
They obviously consider this sort of behaviour acceptable, so I expect they'll have no problem with people pirating their software en masse.
Now in 2009 we have the Unreal Engines which are cross platform compatible and easy to develop for
Having to reboot into Windows to use the UE editor - or UT3 at all - is not "easy to develop for", nor is it cross platform.

At this point, your displays of ignorance have reached comic levels.
But at the same time, you come across as being as much of an asshole as Jack Thompson.
And where do you think that climate came from, eh?
That's the wonderful thing about computers! Thanks to copy and paste he doesn't have to write the entire thing twice.
I propose we use corrupt execs as an alternative fuel source. Once we run out of them we can move on to RIAA lawyers.
Wrong! It doesn't need to spin the disc anticlockwise because it also spins the laser lens around at twice the RPM of the disc!
So what did they do for 6 years?
If it's anything like the computing course I did in college, they spent 80% of the time doing paperwork and 19% watching slideshow presentations. Maybe they thought they were learning something but were too bored to notice the difference.
