While Apple's decision to not include Flash in IOS devices arguably accelerated its demise, Flash is going to be obsoleted by HTML5 at some time in the future anyway. So I wouldn't put it this way. Flash going away is beneficial for Adobe a

Yes, but I guess they're rather looking for people who value the goal and not the path.

however, it looks like they've shipped 3.4.0 with a bug that randomly deletes filtered rows. (see here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35345 ) i don't want the "don't trust point-oh releases" mantra to stick around. we have r

i kind of expected this to be a more serious attempt at solving the current state of privacy policies being "hidden" behind overly long and complicated documents. i think it's a brilliant idea to have a few standard privacy policies and/or

one good property of xml is that it's also a database. it can be queried once inside, say, postgresql's xml type. json lacks that level of support from mainstream relational databases, which makes it a waste of time for certain use-cases.

I kind of expected the XML to disappear in level 3. In its current form, this is a non-standard extension to HTTP.

i don't think it's the fact that they are good at implementing algorithms. they're rather good at running those algorithms at exceptionally high scale. (once implemented, viterbi decoding is viterbi decoding, after all)

um, yes? the way i see it exi is to reduce the time to parse xml. but i'm not terribly familiar with exi standard (draft) and would like to know what's so terribly wrong with it. so, care to elaborate?

i get the feeling that an important concern that prevents soap adoption is the bulkiness of the xml standard that it's based on. i hope that the efficient xml interchange standard will make that concern go away that. solutions like thrift s

why does it suprise you? it's coming from a company whose latest operating system still doesn't offer A PROPER TERMINAL EMULATOR (you know, like putty minus the ssh) on the grounds of lack of demand from its customers.

irc is still the only way to meet "the guy on the street" online. that's mainly why it still survives, despite its quirks. i don't know what you mean by "good" server/channels, but let me say this: back when irc was _the_ chatting medium, a
