Lying on DS-160 was the reason the Feds managed to initially arrest 9/11 attacker Zacarias Moussaoui [1]. It is significantly easier for cops to prove you lied to the US Government and detain/deport/ban you from entry if yo

Congrats on launching! How will you differentiate yourselves from Stripe when they launch in India?

That's cool; what are the repercussions of getting such a card, though? Do you get on TSA's no-fly lists? Are you automatically exempt from holding jobs in the Government? Something else that I'm missing, perhaps?

Thanks; I just purchased the book+video; is there a recommended way to print out a paper copy for my own use beyond just hammering my own (or work) printer?

(Disclaimer: I worked on IE from 2007-2013) Yes, the current IE team is extremely strong, and has only gotten smarter & stronger during the time I worked there. There's tons of meetings I've walked out of where we made a decis

The only correct and 100% reliable way to identify IE should a web dev need to, is to look for the 'Trident' token in the UA String.

Very cool, thanks for sharing the source, too! What's future plans with this app, if at all any?

That is correct, 2007 was the first year this whole mess started, and resulted in the creation of a lottery system. It was the year I got my H1B, and I didn't know until late June - early July if I made it or not ...

I'm not sure what you're referring to, and am not aware of system settings being trumped vis-a-vis Cleartype ... do you have more info so I can investigate deeper? Please reply here, or email me that is more convenient; I'm at ravi.rao@micr

I hope you like IE10; It's been a lot of work for a lot of people to make it happen. If you don't, please do not fail to voice your concerns. Thanks, and enjoy!

And here's a Microsoft-adapted version of the same document: http://www.bouldertherapist.com/html/humor/MentalHealthHumor... I wonder which one came first.

So now that the WakeMate has been out for some time ... does this thing actually give you better sleep/rest, in practice?

IE9 does indeed have software fallback. You can toggle the setting from inetcpl.cpl -> advanced to disable hardware acceleration if you wish.

If someone has a TLDR version of this article, sharing that is much appreciated. I tried reading this twice, but I am failing to understand the author's point(s) ... What exactly are the problems with IE9?

by zaatar 16y ago
Yes, dedicated tab row was one of the #1 feature requests, and indeed, was fixed for the IE9 Release Candidate. See: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2011/02/15/user-experienc...

You get rewarded in the USA for past performance (and to a limited extent, future potential). Nobody is giving you raises purely on what you promise to deliver in the future. Therefore, you should have no guilt in accepting promotions/rai

That's a fascinating conspiracy theory, but having looked at the code myself, I'd have to say someone must be nuts to have gone to extra efforts to create a new engine that specifically won't run on XP.
54.
by zaatar 16y ago
Actually, no. The good reason that IE9 does not run on Windows XP has been publicly stated for at least an year, if not actually longer. The FAQ on ietestdrive.com [1] answers this question. The short answer is that the Graphics stack tha

Perhaps. But it sure as hell won't be including any immigrant folk in it, which is quite against the spirit of free software. Any immigrant in Montreal who is even remotely into that sorta stuff that I personally know have moved onto more w

Why is this relevant? Not every site I read is in English either, but that doesn't make the OP's point invalid.

From an Engineering + Compatibility point of view, we just can't take the hit. There are way too many third party apps that host Trident, and having multiple copies puts those apps out of wack. It's simply impossible to have multiple copi
