Well, that depends on whether he meant when we gave black people the right to vote on paper (after the Civil War) or when black people effectively got the right to vote (1965). I assumed he meant the latter ;-)

Instead of doing var request = mozIndexedDB.open("databasename"); request.onsuccess = function(event) { request = event.target.result.setVersion(N); request.onsuccess = function(event) { // set up your database } } it looks like

It says it was tested in Firefox 10, which is a little surprising since it doesn't work at all in Firefox 10. The IndexedDB spec changed and Firefox changed to align with the spec between 9 and 10, but the page uses the old API.

We might prioritize things based on input from Google (we tend to listen to things Google's web properties have to say since they run some of the biggest websites on the planet). This is usually a collaboration between the technical folk

To be clear, the only thing that's "stalled" is integrating large pieces of code into our nightly builds. People are certainly still working on developing their bug fixes/features/etc.

There is no x64->x86 cross compiler with MSVC, so if you want to produce i386 binaries you have to fit under 4GB of memory no matter what.

Heh, I guess I should have known better than to have fun with the title of my email. This really isn't that interesting. Doing whole program optimization on a large codebase takes a fair amount of memory. We've exceeded virtual address sp

I'm not even sure how to respond to the "selling private information to Google" bit. If you think choosing a default search engine equates to selling private information I guess that's cool. I don't agree, and I don't think many (or any)

I'm curious what y'all are using the FileSystem API for and how you're using it. If you wouldn't mind talking about that (or have other people on your team that would be interested in talking about it), drop me an email at <my-hackerne

Gecko (Firefox) does this in quirks mode only. We're holding the line against this for the moment ( http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=11960 ).

Where did you get dropouts per year from? The article is saying that in the year 2007 of the cohort of individuals ages 16 to 24 6.2 million were dropouts. 16% is far too high of a dropout rate ... but 6.2 million per year is clearly impo
