My bad. Something that is interesting about the page I referenced is that "SourceGear" doesn't appear on the page at all. It looked to me like a Microsoft product. I suppose that makes me an idiot for not looking deeper, but I still feel that the critisism was overblown in your response and the instruction to read the page I linked to is certainly in error, as it would not indicate the point you wished to make.
It's good to know you finally understand what he was referring to, although it is still clear you don't understand what was actually said. See, it wasn't that hard to get halfway. I'm sure you can make the rest of the trip.
That's fine if you think the joke he was referencing wasn't funny, but it took you this long to figure out what he was saying (as your previous posts clearly reference the literal joke). Since you asked, where you lost me was in your inability to understand the conversation you were participating in. It's already clear to me where you were lost by it.
This isn't racist, it's speechist. A black person born in China has troubles saying R, like a Chinese person born in America can say R with ease.
Likewise, there are Chinese phonemes that English speakers have a difficulting expressing or even hearing (AIUI, usually related to inflection, though).
It is a fact that when you raise a person with a set of phonemes, the older they get, the harder it is for them to say phonemes out of their scope.
The problem is that America's economy is greatly proped up by the economic colonialism that we've been forcing on to other countries. The best example is our installation of the Shah in Iran, that then allows Shell Oil and other American companyies to be able to mine 40% of the Iranian oil. This in turn pays for the CIA operation that allowed it to have via taxes, and also overall helped our economy by allowing us to have cheaper oil that was practically gifted to our corporations as a thank you for instituting the Shah regime.
The war on Afghanistan has it's form of paybacks in the Unocal gas pipeline and rights to move Caspian Sea oil. A potential war in Iraq will have similar benefits. Protecting South Korea is important to us because our companies have a lot invested in the area. We hate Cuba, not because it's communist, but because it nationalized our corporation's property. We liberated Kuwait because of American interests. We don't care about the Palesting issue beyond how it effects Israel because Palestinians have no money.
Unlike the British before us, we don't politically colonize an area, we just economically take what we can, by force or finesse. That is, after all, what capitalism is about: strength in capital.
The thing that distrubs me about a Republican complaining about welfare is the total non-realization that, like a corporate bailout, a welfare bailout to an individual can enable them to continue in society and reintegrate back into the tax paying workforce. By not having a welfare system, those who need it may turn to crime, or lean on their families in a way that leave them destitute as well.
I don't know any party that likes the idea of a person who continuously and chronicly lives on welfare who doesn't need it and is just gaming the system. I do know that both parties support continuous chronic subsidization of agriculture (in fact, Bush just signed a bill increasing the amount over the next 30 years).
The only thing that does piss me off about how Republican's view Democratic budgets is that Republican budgets have very traditionally made use of deficit financing to achieve their ends, while Democratic budgets have even worked to pay the debt off. While the Democrats are really my number 1 choice, it is truly frustrating to know that 16% of my income taxes (no state tax in florida) are going towards interest on the debt alone.
But it is our citizenry that elects the officials that set our foreign policy. We can't just absolve ourselves of the responsibility of self government while at the same time participating in it.
Struts is a "framework" that you use to build J2EE applications. It dictates a lot of how you build your applications inorder to make them more likely to conform to MVC (although if you want to you can break the MVC model quite esily). It's really a lot of things put together, there is a dispatchng mechanism dirven by an XML file, there's input resolution by matching parameters to bean attributes. There are tag libraries that make developing JSPs a bit easier (like the tags that autorefill the input fields. Nothing too staggering though).
Nothing the stuff in struts is revolutionary, and there really isn't anything there that we have done before Struts came along. However, a good thing abotu Struts is that it is both open and becoming an industry standard. That way, if you come into a new development shop and have Struts experience and they use Struts, you have less to learn about how their application is modelled. If you don't know Struts, then you learn it knowing that the knowledge is applicable at other jobs. I'd say that is it's only, but a very strong, advantange.
If you could carte blanche make changes to the HTML standard (new tags, entities, or attributes to existing tags) for the purpose of making it easier to create accessable sites, what would they be?
I would imagine some kind of hardening would be good. In addition, a mouse that you can't lift, or a keyboard with bigger buttons would probably be better, since a lot of mentally handcapped have poor motor control (and thus are, in a way, physically handicapped).
I thought the reason so many WinCE devices were discontinued was because they kept changing the platform (i.e. the CPU), not anything to do inherently with the OS. With a framgemented architecture, there are going to be some devices that don't get as many programs released for that device as developers aren't willing to port or even just cross-compile. This causes those lines to eventually fail.
A real problem with this article is that is says "avoid IE" but doesn't give an alternative. I know to use Mozilla (and am in fact doing so right now), but many people reading this article are going to wonder what the alternatives are (of course many people are going to think they are ok because they use "Windows" to access the internet, and "not IE, whatever that is"). Without presenting the safer alternatives, most people who read this are going to go "oh well, I'm not going to stop going to eBay, so I'm going to have to continue using IE".
I hoep they don't. My company is bidding on a contract that requires we are NS4.0 and IE4.0 compatible. It's be pretty hard to develop without being able to download it.
You're right. There is no contract between you and the web content provider. So, if they can detect that you aren't allowing popups, they can deny their content from you. How far are you obligated to go? Not far at all. How far are they obligated to go to give you the content? Just as far.

MS actually does already sell software for linux. For example, there is a SourceSafe client for Linux 2.x.x.

Damn, and I really wanted to see that movie. I hate it when they put the best stuff in the trailers (it was pretty funny in the trailer).
Please note the joke in your parent's post refered to was him wanting the linux question asked (stated two up from that).
And the point still remains, if life on Earth started on Mars, we still dont' know how it started there.

This would be insightful if the example given in the link wasn't exactly what your parent poster was talking about.

I'm not sure a sighted person could.
However, nobody would be 'better served' by using text only in a game like Quake
I don't know about that. Sombody thought it was a good idea.
Insightful, WTF? /. moderating has offically jumped the shark.
Just because it's pricey and ethnic, doesn't mean it's good.
And there's nothing wrong with a Big Mac.

Yeah, but this article is on the BBC.
