Well, some are "common sense" like crashing the car at 150km/h or throwing yourself under the train. There are however methods like programming some industrial robot to drill your skull and vacuum brains out… :/

By this account Chrome and Opera are also Safari with different UI. (Yes, I do know that engines are really the forks, not the same WebKit). My point is, that we should be able to tell the difference between a browser and a rendering engine

The problem is that for me it looks that whaterver is happening in JavaScript world it is not going forward. More like running on the treadmill or just spinning around catching own tail. The note about gazillion MV* frameworks is spot on,

Yep, you ar not asking the others to do the same, you wanto to implement censorship and deny others that possibility without even asking. Some ideas: get off the internet, a lot of very very evil things are going on there. Also, start fight

Wasn't Basecamp started as a side project of 37Signals where DHH spent like 10 hours a week working on it? And yes Basecamp is now a company and god nows how many businesses are involved with Ruby on Rails.

Please, tell, what jokes are acceptable? That's a very serious question. You cannot joke about gender or race, ok, fair enough. The I guess you cannot joke about nationality as well. Same goes for physical traits or occupation. Same g

Well, I assume OS X is quite popular among students. I'd say opening terminal and typing "python" or "irb" beats the hell out of "running in browser".

No browser ever paid any attention to the version of the HTML specified. The only use for DOCTYPE—and the reason it remains in HTML5—is "doctype switching", i.e. different rendering modes are triggered in the browsers. You can use

I am curious, which slice of previously desktop apps is already taken by web apps?

Well, what I meant was more APIs than tooling itself. Many hate XCode, but I think it OK, and AppCode is decent alternative. I've been dealing with the web tech for some 18 years now, and iOS development experience was really refreshin
