Alternative browsers are allowed in the Metro interface, but not on the desktop in RT, that's what this article is about. Mozilla needs to be able to run binary code, and Microsoft has blocked all third party code from the desktop in RT.
Both "substance" and "a lot" are entirely a matter of personal taste in this instance, I guess. I don't consider a word "x" appearing 0.04482294935006723442402510085% of the time in a post to be "a lot", but I recognize the existence of people who believe more than 0 of anything is a lot.

For the substance, well, there's a lot of words there, but of course I've read posts with 40 words and posts with 11,000 words that both conveyed the same small amount of substance. I do think the link has a non-zero not-insignificant amount to add (or why bother sharing as a child of another link-sharing comment) especially if you include the links from that link; I think it has at least as much substance as the actual submission here. (And look, the author himself has even posted here, splendid. If you think his light-weight comments here have substance, make sure you give him an upvote.)

The other interesting thing is that it renders those divs as single pixel wide strips, apparently just as the original Wolfenstein did rendering for walls and such. Pretty cool!

That's some brass fucking balls, right there. Break working software, demand users pay for the fix.

The guy didn't care enough to ask for more than $2, why should I care on his behalf?

The problem I have with your rant is that you're implicitly segregating the population into two groups, one which knows better and one which needs the other group to take care of it. Of course you're placing yourself in the group that knows better...

I have enough work taking care of myself. If saying, "That guy can look out for himself also" makes me an "asshole" or a "scumbag" then so be it.
As we are in the <pedantic> sub-thread, we can point out that actually a Python process can use more than one core at the same time, just trying to acquire the GIL.

This is how Python programs can show up using more than 100% CPU in `top`.

Firefox, or any web browser getting kicked out of mobile or future desktop computers, means open web is in danger. So it is not a problem for Firefox, it will be a problem for every one who has a stake in an open world wide web.
Yes, just checked, they strip the keywords from the referrer when using https.

Not only that. We appear to be far better at learning the meaning of new unknown symbols than one would expect.

Anecdotal evidence: when I first encountered a floppy icon, its purpose wasn't obvious to me at all, despite I've already used a floppy before. See the Chinese writing example in this thread as well. Apparently, prior knowledge of the real-world object doesn't affect usability as much as other visual features of an icon.

This makes me believe that, in future,

1) younger generations won't have any trouble with icons that represent old things they'll never see;

2) icon design business is going to profit.

Also note that SVG logo's are rendered far better than a scaled down pixel version. I tried a lot of different reduction methods but the SVG version was always "sharper".
Just include it in your image-tag: <img src="logo.svg" alt="my logo">

I think you can use a background image as fallback.

Google decides what the referrer is since it redirects first to a url it controls (downgrading to http if necessary).
ruby_on_tails, who's apparently the author of the site, has been dead-banned, probably for suspected spam, even though I think that the mods/algorithms have had a heavy hand: he submited two links to his site in two months, and the second one was flagged, even though it was on topic.

It would be nice if he could be unbanned.

Mozilla should make more fuss about this because it's important.

I see my family happily using Linux on their laptops because 80% of what they need is a browser. And Google with ChromeOS also thinks that a browser should, in time, be enough.

So, the fact that we have ecosystems being developed where there is only one blessed browser (be it Safari or IE) is a severe roadblock.

The browser isn't like another app, it's more like another kind of AppStore. If we accept the current situation, they will find a way to monetize that too and there will be no escape.
On reading that paragraph, my instinctive reaction was that they (Adobe) got to be kidding. But no, they are completely serious.
Simple Permutations of a String
You can't even reliably fit raster images to screen pixels on the web. Images can easily end up at non-integer screen pixel locations which requires resampling (and ruining your careful alignment) to render.

Finally article with good explanation of differences. Most of comments I found till now was that Titanium translates JS to native code, which sounded really hard and almost impossible to me.
Focus for these tools should be getting native UI/UX look&feel, and it looks like Titanium has little advantage here. Phonegap looks more RAD.
Someone who sees Google Instant as a feature. Interesting, I can't disable it quickly enough.

Penetration of 200kbps connections is meaningless in a post-1998 world. That's not even enough to watch YouTube. Also, coverage by zip code or census tract is misleading, as large zipcodes in rural areas may count as having multiple providers, but only a small portion of the zip code actually has coverage.

In order for coverage and competition statistics to be useful, they need to keep up with modern bandwidth and latency requirements. IMO the absolute bare minimum that should be acceptable is 2mbit/s (for sub-SDTV video quality), with ping times less than 80ms. Meaningful participation in the modern digital world requires 15mbit/s or better, especially for households with more than one person.
Adobe has a new marketing strategy! This must have come straight from the sales team... after a wild night of drunken fun in Vegas.

Under details they state

> Adobe released a security upgrade for Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 and earlier for Windows and Macintosh. This upgrade addresses vulnerabilities that could allow an attacker who successfully exploits these vulnerabilities to take control of the affected system.

so what is it now? Still - even using security fixes as a vehicle to push people into upgrading is a bit crazy considering that the new version has just come out. Not even volunteer-supported software stops supporting the previous version the moment the new one comes out.
Anything that lets you write. Pick a toolset you like and run with it.
This is completely stupid, what ever the fix is;

Why can the not just take the patch file from the commit which fixed the flaw, apply it against previous versions of Photoshop and release a upgrade for all versions instead of making people charge for it.

A better bit of advice would be "Do not use TIF files unless you have brought CS6"
I see your point, but Mozilla is in an impossible position.

Encrypting people's search is a good idea. Mozilla should do this, and as others in this thread have pointed out, they could be chastised for not having done it.

The fault is Google's who tamper with the referrer data intentionally to obscure the keyword data. They do this for the users 'privacy', but then you can still get the data if you're a paying Adwords customer. I have trouble reconciling 'privacy' and 'you can buy it'.
Can't someone make a binary patch for it? Any enterprising reversers wanna take this up? Charge 5-15% of the cost of CS6 even.

I find it is easiest to use javascript to set fallbacks.
That path seems to go in the same direction, but then it diverges in Science, mostly due to the first sentence on that page, where [Latin] and [knowledge] are links:

> Science (from [Latin] scientia, meaning "knowledge") is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes [knowledge]...

It happens again in Taxonomy, which otherwise would surely lead to Philosophy from the [classification] link:

> Taxonomy (from [Greek]: τάξις taxis "arrangement" and Greek: νομία nomia "method"[1]) is the science of identifying and naming species, and arranging them into a [classification].

On our way to Philosophy we are constantly confronted with Latin and Greek concepts, because Rome and Greece are where many of the concepts in Philosophy originated.

A correction on the title: beats Flipkart in traffic numbers only. They are doing a lot of aggressive marketing and the surprising part is it is not just online ads. There are bigger things in India which tip-off traffic. A big learning for all sites.

ARM Windows will only be the Metro version with all the isolated processes, etc. While Win x86 might have that, it shares nothing else with the traditional Windows model and is it to all intents and purposes as different as OSX and iOS.

I really don't see the problem with this if people don't have a problem with iOS only allowing Safari as the default browser.
Indeed, it's peculiar how bad Bing is at times. With a Windows Phone in family, I occasionally hit the dedicated Bing-button to quickly search for something only to realize that I'd find the thing I was looking for much faster if I just used browser, typed google.com and then searched. That always reminds me how bad web search was before Google.
I quite like the idea of doing an app where all the icons are Chinese ideographs with native language tooltips and descriptions.

It would be a little like living in the Firefly universe but with more iPhones.

Confirmed! Interesting. Safari on OSX and iOS makes the request regardless. Firefox didn't request the far-future file, but also didn't request one of the must-revalidate files. Not sure what it's doing. Good spot.

One suggestion (from David Pearce) was Conway’s Game of Life: a simple simulation of finite automata. This seems like a good demonstration of most of the properties.

If Hello World is inadequate, what canonical program would better serve to demonstrate the salient features of a programming language?

Must it use variables?
Must it have flow control?
Must it actually compute something?
Must it use non-primitive data structures?
Must it exhibit use of the language’s code organisation features?

These are some of the more generic properties that programs can have.

Well, I didn't know you could fine tune your ELB's. In fact reading the Developer Guide (http://awsdocs.s3.amazonaws.com/ElasticLoadBalancing/latest/..., page 46) it seems that it's now possible to choose SSL protocols and ciphers via the web interface (and I supposse also via the API).

Regarding the comparison you suggest, we are too short-handed right know not only to do this kind of comparisons but even to think to manage our own load balancers ;) Thanks for the suggestion anyway.
I can't believe they are allowed to do this...
I always wonder what they try to achieve by hiding swastikas. I mean, come on, you can find swastikas everywhere if you look at greek vases, at Japan maps (temples are symbolized with swastikas in Japan), and in a number of ancestral cultures. It's completely ridiculous, and it does not prevent anyway right-wing extremism in the countries mentioned.
Adobe's internal culture is all about denying the existence of problems. Alpha/beta testing for them is...challenging.

Wow. I don't even. Not that I advocate hacking, but it would be righteously ironic if some of Adobe's employees hadn't upgraded to CS6 yet, and someone broke into their systems using this vulnerability.
It's also worth noting that there's no Photoshop CS5.5, only Photoshop CS5.1 (which comes bundled with Adobe CS5.5).

To a much lesser effect, I find it true in Israel as well. I recently bought an iPad for my mom as she uses the computer just for browsing, emailing and skype. Turns out that even now, two websites she frequents (a workers' committee website and some state sponsored mutual fund website) are IE only and in a way that they truly don't work otherwise.
Don't forget that the majority of people see computers as tools or vehicles, and just like you have to fill your gas tank from time to time with expensive gas, they think it's perfectly normal to pay for software regularly, even when it doesn't offer new features. Just keeping it going costs money. That the upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 is a 'Critical security vulnerability fix' is a detail most users won't even notice.
The one thing this article doesn't even mention is that PhoneGap is free and open source, and Titanium is expensive. Yes, Titanium has a free level, all the other price levels listed on their website are 'Contact Sales'. When I researched this last year, Titanium started just under $100/month and went wayyyy up from there. I've since published an app on Android and iOS using PhoneGap, and was happy with the result. Like any project, it takes a lot of work make it polished and look good.
the "neighbor" site jamendo.com recently switched to a buggy new version without prior notice. with reduced functionality, completely changed focus (single tracks instead of albums) and no community communication features (forums, private messages). instead of announcing it early and working with the community, they had to backpedal and post apologies.
The number of ARM-based Windows machines must be miniscule.
They have been lazy in essence. They decided not to backport the fix because it is too hard or it didn't fit in the schedule to ship CS6 out of the door.
