Not according to EU law . Which I think takes precedence.

If anything, this is a serious threat to Italy's netizens. Certainly, the rest of the world won't follow suit.

What I mean is that most flash games require mouseover and mousemove events to be used — or else they're completely void of interactivity — no more useful than a static image. Most web apps, on the other hand, are fully useable without th

Tooltips aren't crucial to use a webpage the way mouseover and mousemove events are crucial to most flash games.

Design isn't pop and zing (I'm aware of the reference). Design is not a coat of paint. Maybe you're just joking, but it doesn't matter because even if you are , there is no lack of programmers who don't have any better of design fundamen

True, definitely, I absolutely agree. But have you not also worked with coders who are fundamentally inept at design, making it seem like they're almost blind ? I know I have, but for some reason we seem to more often accept this kind of v

HTML/CSS may seem so simple as to not even count as coding, to us coders, that is. But consider the fact that many coders don't have the most basic grasp of design. Not even really fundamental things like alignment, proportions, which c

Great, but if remaking Basecamp or StackOverflow also just takes a weekend, you should have been able to do this in about an hour.

I noticed that while the Southpark app was displayed quite a bit, we didn't get to see almost any interaction with the Twitter app. Might be because it's unflattering, might not. I'm sure we'll find out eventually. Given that Adobe has fail

I would too. But consider the fact that on the most popular operating system in the world, pop ups with messages are usually devoid of actionable understandable information. It's just a "huh?" People don't see each popup with fresh eyes, th

Sweden and Norway has very non-uniformly populated areas as well. Don't blame your land mass, blame your telcos. They are screwing you over.

I'm not saying the reason for the US's poor infrastructure development is decidedly because the US has left it in the hands of the market, I'm just saying I have a feeling it has something to do with it, that it's one of the factors. In S

Actually, Norway and Sweden has a lower population density than the US has; we've got even more land mass per person. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_dependenc... I think it has more to do with that we don't leave i

I live in Sweden. I had 10/10 mbit fibre in my (regular non-campus) apartment back in 2001 , for peanuts, maybe $20 a month. In 2005 I briefly upgraded to 100/100 mbit (very common today), but found that it wasn't worth it (about $55) be

Was that what it was? Because I think it sounded a lot like scandinavia sighing that we've had this for a decade. (I'm sure other countries has too, the US really has backwater infrastructure.)

Well, if you spend five minutes on chatroulette you've already seen so much offensive stuff that the next offensive thing you see doesn't really bother you all that much. You just click "next". Being able to not freak out over someone doing

SMS:ing is bigger than (mobile) phone calls in Sweden, especially among young people — all they do is text each other, back and forth, even when calling might be cheaper. It's been this way for years. Key reasons: receiving an SMS is free

People don't use Flash because they like it, they use it to view the content that requires it. It astonishes me that you don't understand this. Like I said; no amount of effort on your part is going to make us forget our experiences with yo

No matter how hard you try, no matter how long you try; you will never ever be able to convince the people of the internets that Flash isn't a crash prone performance hog.

Photoshop used to be better. But with time it has become terrible. It seems as though Adobe focus mostly on putting out new features, and not enough on just making present features work better, faster and more reliably.

He's saying that all the problems that all of us have with Flash on a daily basis actually do not exist. We're just imagining all of it, all of us. That is not doing an incredible job, it's just not listening.

What does high taxes have to do with anything? I'm just saying that it's irrational to think that MPEG LA's plan is to sue consumers. Us being "hackers" does nothing to change those odds.

by tjogin 17y ago
Yeah, but whatever those "still to be specified categories" are, they're not going to include a whole lot of people, because suing people like that as a means to make money does not scale .

by tjogin 17y ago
There are obvious problems with H.264, but I don't believe MPEG LA's plan is to sue regular people for not complying with the license agreement when they did that video that one time. Not because I think they're not evil enough to do it,

In summary, he nailed it as far as where the the wind is blowing but was wrong on timing; on all accounts except the last one. This is no bad feat as nailing both the direction and timing is nearly impossible. Compare with, for instance,
