True, however the scripts aren't compulsory - you can have uzbl call anything in response to actions, so you could call scripts in python, bash, whatever - or other native compiled apps, or tool your own stuff in assembler if you like - it

Anyone interested in this at all, or desktop UI design in general, should really read Jensen Harris' fascinating series of blog posts that were written during the development of the Office 2007 UI: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/tag

As far as I can see, one of the problems with this gatekeeper thing, is that it doesn't scale very well - you can't do a proper job of talking to each developer and making a fully informed decision in each and every case - they just don't h

I would imagine that if tivo et. al. - or even fast forward buttons - are legal on DVD & PVR's, then I don't see why ad blocking on the web is any different, legally speaking.

I would agree with some of this - as a potential partner site, I would sign up (and maybe pay?) if you were providing me with a complete reputation system, as this would save me coding my own, ala Steam and XBLA Achievements. Is this in the

The closest competitor to OneApp appears to be Opera Mini ( http://www.opera.com/mini/ ) which is a full web browser for the same kind of small cheap cellphones which OneApp targets. Opera Mini is also client-server and pre-processes and co

Yes, there is UV hardening resin - but this is just a slightly improved version of the old amalgam fillings - and does the same job: drill hole, fill with stuff. It's considered better in that it doesn't contain heavy metals, but worse beca

I have noticed this too - does anyone know why? In the UK, the NHS provides excellent healthcare for everything except dentistry, which is noticeably poorer in both availability and (arguably) quality. As far as I can see, dentistry has see

It only requires flash for rendering on browsers which don't have native SVG support - i.e. everyone except IE gets native rendering, and on IE it uses a flash object to do the rendering. There's really not much alternative to this - people

Sounds like an interesting idea, although I'm generally against centralization for stuff like this. The copy on the main jshub page doesn't explain the concept nearly as well as the blog post; just reading the main page would leave me with

It sounds like a lot of this advice would work well for non-games software too. I would imagine that it will be harder to get testers initially, but once you do, the rest of the advice sounds very cogent.

I too have heard a bacteriophage treatment in the same terms in the past. It's basically using viruses that prey on bacteria, as a treatment for bacterial infection. It was fairly widely used in the soviet bloc in lieu of antibiotics, so (p

I would imagine that they could get the cost down and the speed up but I wouldn't imagine that the coverage would improve much if they continue to use short reads - i.e. small ~32 base bits of DNA. As I understand it, there's enough repetit

They kind of already are, for me at least. I know that if I decide I want to buy something that I think Amazon probably sells, I'll just go a look it up on Amazon directly. I have a couple of other sites that I also know and trust for IT st

I agree that these devices risk falling between two categories, not quite big enough, not quite portable enough, but I'm not sure about the keyboard thing. The on-screen keyboard on a decent sized tablet will be about the same size as a net

The future that your looking forward to is already here but, as usual, not evenly distributed yet. I live in the UK and have had an HTC magic ( http://www.htc.com/www/product/magic/overview.html ) for a couple of months (with vodafone). It'

Don't forget that you can setup your webserver to serve font files gzipped, which often gets ~50% compression on ttf's.

Even a tiny little web dev shop like mine ( http://www.codeistry.com/ ) seems to have managed to acquire clients across the globe - much to my surprise. They all seem to know about paypal, but only larger ones are happy with international b

I can only speak for myself, but I'm glad some of my taxes get spent of things like this, even if I were never to benefit, it's still an absolute good.

Having grown up in the UK, I've always taken for granted that this level of healthcare is readily available to me whenever I might need it, money no object. The concept of having to consider the cost implications of treatment like this seem

Does anyone know - or know how to figure out - how much power is 'stored' at any given time in the globe's power transmission lines? Intuitively, this must be a pretty huge amount - basically 1x the global power consumption at any given ins

As usual, there's no conspiracy. They're working on a GStreamer backend for Firefox but it wasn't finished in time for 3.5. It will probably go in next time around; the current version is a functional stopgap until then.

Yeah - I haven't missed it in the last few years, I don't see why I would start now. I actually used it yesterday to play Tales of Monkey Island (excellent, btw) and I remembered why I switched; what a huge pain in the ass everything is.
