I do. I like Windows a lot. I'm completely platform agnostic and I've used all 3 major platforms at various times but I always come back to Windows. I think there's a quiet majority of people out there who are perfectly happy with Windows b

This is a reaction to Linux. This will be sold for basically nothing, and given the choice between Windows 7 Starter and Linux on the same netbook at the same price, most people will choose Windows 7 because they're more familiar with it. T

Open source, BSD licensed ( http://code.google.com/p/o3d/ ), available for all 3 platforms. I guess Chrome and the OEMs allows Google to push adoption of the plugin, but I think it'll have an uphill struggle. It'll take a killer app for use

I don't think it is. It just think it largely replaces an internal domain-specific language (the DOM) with an better, more convenient one abstracted on top of it (jQuery). Using jQuery for the DOM feels much more natural and more like JavaS

One reason is that the Linux version of Flash is terrible last time I used it. Not even from a "open web principles" or "proprietary software is evil!" point of view, but rather in a "it crashes the browser on every 2nd or 3rd video viewing

My personal experience is that trains are much quicker, less cramped, much more comfortable, more reliable, and easier to catch. The main downside is they are more expensive and can't offer local services (although trams and the tube are pr

Personally, I'm not too fussed if Mozilla goes in a crazy direction and Firefox loses popularity now. It's served its primary purpose by opening competition in the browser space which was dominated by Internet Explorer and turning it into a

I think the filesystem metaphor can change without it being 'an island'. Just because previously implementations have been poorly thought out doesn't mean future ones have to be. Use a filesystem backed on a document-oriented database. Have

The argument is progressive enhancement: if someone doesn't have JavaScript or CSS enabled the JavaScript-enabled features would be completely hidden from view, plus you get to keep your HTML in your HTML file.

Interesting idea for keeping your HTML in one place, but the advantages are marginal over the alternatives (i.e. CSS abuse or inlining your HTML in JavaScript).

Contrary to the article inline-block on inline attributes is supported by IE6 according to the Quirksmode tables ( http://www.quirksmode.org/css/display.html ); unsurprising as it was originally a non-standard IE-specific attribute. Firefox

I'm sick of it. I'm sick of moans about IE6. IE6 is old and sucks. We get it. Yes, around a fifth of web users use IE6. No, nothing can be done to force users and IT departments to move across. No, it's not Microsoft's fault. If you want to

You could do it via JavaScript or iframes, but it's generally a bad idea. Server-side scripting languages like PHP or even server-side includes exist for a reason and fulfil this exact need transparently from the user and there's no good re

People have been predicting Microsoft's demise for 15 years, and it hasn't happened, and I'd even argue that Microsoft have got better in that time: IIS has gone from being a joke to being a worthy Apache competitor, .NET is a great technol

I'd argue that £100,000 is not "the middle" by any stretch. The median wage is £27,092, while top 10% of earn more than £49,192. (citation: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/cci/nugget.asp?id=285 ).

Oversimplified. Taxes are progressive and the /highest band/ starts at £37,000. Council tax differs from place to place and is also in bands based around the type of property you live in. You can't simply add VAT like you have, because you

I messed up my code example for Object.create above rather badly (I haven't done JS in a while), so I'll redo it here: var constructor = function() { }; originalobject = new constructor(); originalobject.prototype = ...; blah = ne

A quick look. I may have got a few details wrong, since the standard is rather terse: JSON support (adds Internaltype.prototype.toJSON, JSON.parse and JSON.stringify). Object.create now exists, allowing you to create an object from another

It is up to the owner (and their terms and conditions, natch). But it should be opt-in, the same way any other sort of permissive content licensing is explicitly opt-in, and the same way it's bad form to take content that isn't permissively
