Exactly. That's it. Simply use a different search engine. Despite reports to the contrary, the Internet is actually bigger than what Google indexes, and the Internet works just fine without Google too.

Well, Mr. Pinkwart, that's how you position yourself as the ideal replacement partner for the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia. Instead of blocking traffic policy, you demand an end to coal subsidies, which certainly ensures that the SPD in North Rhine-Westphalia loses the next election. Great strategy, Steinbrück will definitely jump on that.

So Firebird is quite cute. However, it's terribly slow (especially scrolling through pages is unbearable with this awful stuttering), I'm used to faster performance from Safari. But one thing is absolutely top-notch: the extensions (see link at the title). I loaded the Webdeveloper extension and the Checky extension there, the former provides a whole set of web developer tools (such as visual representation of document structure, quick source display, various validators, tools for images, forms, enable/disable various features, etc.). Checky is simply an extension that plugs a large collection of validators for various purposes into the document's popup menu - including auto-discovery of the corresponding parts (e.g., CSS or RSS feeds are automatically found and then validated on request). Great. Now just make the whole thing faster and then I'll be happy.
Wiglaf Droste settles accounts bitterly with Friedmann and all the coke noise. Nothing but the truth, the whole truth.
I found the reason: SCRIPT is an element that can be used both as a block element and as an inline element. A is an inline element. So I can use SCRIPT within A. NOSCRIPT, on the other hand, is a block element. So it's not allowed within an A. That's garbage!
Stupid W3C. Don't they have anyone there who can think? The SCRIPT tag has its counterpart in NOSCRIPT. So it only makes sense if I can use NOSCRIPT in the same place as SCRIPT. But that doesn't work. In the Python Desktop Server Javascript is used in comment links to insert the number of existing comments. There should be an alternative display for this (just a question mark) so empty brackets don't appear. But since the whole thing is inside an A tag, I can use SCRIPT there, but not NOSCRIPT. That's garbage!
Yes, I know I'm repeating myself, but with such stupidity you can only scream. Now I have to choose whether I want valid HTML or HTML that complies with accessibility guidelines. Unfortunately, it's not easy to change the technology in the Python Desktop Server because the Python Community Server only delivers static HTML and therefore dynamic content has to be inserted via Javascript. And that's exactly what Document.write() was invented for. And it could be trivially implemented with a NOSCRIPT alternative for those who don't have or don't want Javascript. Any suggestions (other than changing careers)? Update: here someone commented on this on the W3C mailing lists. The suggestion: set the whole paragraph as an alternative block. No thanks. So NOSCRIPT gets removed - because there are a number of browsers that render the contents of NOSCRIPT even when Javascript is enabled. Here's the original article.
So so. IBM is no longer allowed to use its own AIX either. So if IBM wants to respond to SCO now, they should do it now. The entire industry is waiting for IBM to give SCO a piece of their mind, so come on Big Blue, take them down!
Even though it's quite entertaining this time, overall the whole thing is just another proof of how idiotic all these patent and trademark proceedings are and how absurd such scenarios can become when lawyers and business managers smell money. The whole nonsense certainly no longer serves the actual purpose of patents - securing innovations and protecting inventors from exploitation by companies.

Great. So people will soon see poverty written on their faces.
For the money bags in parliament and party leadership, it's easy to pass something like this – it doesn't cause them any problems. But normal employees often already have problems with the co-payments for dental prosthetics that exist today. And the fact that dental prosthetic solutions and comprehensive coverage were introduced for good reason (because poor teeth and broken dentures come with various follow-up problems that the health insurance has to pay for anyway), the politicians daydreaming about this aren't thinking about that either. The main thing is to have some kind of position, no matter how absurd or silly it is.

iCab requires me to write an ampersand as an entity within JavaScript code, even though the JavaScript code is marked as an HTML comment, so it shouldn't be relevant to the validator and should be ignored. Somehow people don't seem to get the hang of writing validators correctly...

Could someone please explain to me what the heck is wrong with my use of NOSCRIPT? If I read the spec correctly, NOSCRIPT can appear within any block area. But the validator expects APPLET, OBJECT, MAP, IFRAME or BUTTON - at least that's what it says in the linked validation report. Very strange. Bug in the validator? The NOSCRIPT is supposed to be there only because the comment count and trackback count are written into the pages via JavaScript on the Python Desktop Server (can't be done any other way since the community server only gets static HTML). Weird. Here's the original article.
Well, that's not really a loss for the Mac community. It may have been ahead of the Windows counterpart initially, but they didn't do anything with it after that. And honestly: Safari, Chimera and Omniweb are all three far better. I only use IE anymore where some weird web idiots have cobbled together sites that have problems with non-IE browsers. And even for that it's not really suitable anymore, since IE 6 has new idiotic properties that dummy designers can eagerly abuse ... Alternatively, you can indulge in similar MS megalomania fantasies like Dave Winer. But honestly - does anyone still believe in his future predictions and market assessments? I personally think his claim that the Web now belongs to Microsoft and they're driving it over a cliff into the abyss to secure their old position as a software monopolist is just a teensy bit absurd ...

Today, railway facilities are monitored by video. Tomorrow it will be intensified. Oh, you can also practically search for suspicious persons? Of course, terrorists have to be found, no one can object to that. Oh, doing that manually is too time-consuming? No problem, next week we'll just add automatic biometric systems that compare against a database of terrorists. Oh, the database also contains political opponents or civil rights activists? Never mind, some waste is always expected. Ouch, a bomb package in a public park? No problem, we'll just expand the video system. Oh, also include intersections and shopping zones while we're at it, for safety's sake, naturally. The secret services want access to it because they're also responsible for security? Sure, no problem. And we'll also avoid bothersome court orders right away, that has to be more efficient. Complete surveillance profiles of citizens without any possibility for them to defend themselves? Ridiculous, what these left-wing cranks keep babbling about, they're probably just terrorist sympathizers anyway, put them in the database too, Otto.
On the road to the surveillance state. All of course only in the name of security. No one can be against security.

Hmm. That's strange somehow: they're supposedly leading in Linux antivirus scanners, but I've never heard of them in that field? I mean, it's not like I have nothing to do with the topic—we sell firewalls with integrated antivirus scanners after all, where we simply use Amavis, and Sophos as the antivirus scanner. By the way, Amavis is really a kind of market leader—just as open source. What's interesting is that on the Amavis pages a number of antivirus scanners are listed that are supported. Gecad (RAV) doesn't appear in that list. I also can't find anything about that scanner on OpenAntivirus.org. Ok, a few times it's mentioned in passing, but somehow I can't find anything to back up this market leader hype!
Sorry, but I have a strong suspicion that a small shop is being played up here as something it's not.

SUN doesn't get it at all. No, it's not just about us Linux and BSD users wanting to use some Unix on Intel machines. Or how else would the SUN folks explain the many ports of both Linux and the various BSD kernels to all sorts of platforms? Intel is mostly used simply because it's a cheap (in both the positive and negative sense) platform. And it's not about just any Unix - both the Linux camp and the devil worshippers (sorry, BSD users
) have very good technical reasons why they rely on their respective systems. An important aspect is definitely the complete availability of source code and the ability to get involved everywhere, not just where the manufacturer graciously allows it. SUN is still far too arrogant to understand what's really happening in the market. And that's why sooner or later SUN will make itself obsolete - or will have to change course.

Ridiculous. The country with the largest military machinery, which has demonstrably fabricated evidence and used outright extortionist methods to start a war just to push through its own interests, which massively violates international law and wants to continue doing so, and violates international disarmament treaties—of all things, soldiers from this country should be spared from prosecution by the International Court of Justice? That's completely farcical.

Terrible fine of 510 euros. I already find it ridiculous that he refused to pay it at all and sued against it, so that an administrative court even has to deal with such nonsense. The costs for the ridiculous proceedings surely exceeded the 510 euros that were imposed on him...
But politicians are only good at taking things away from others anyway. They themselves see themselves above the law. And why doesn't he want to swear to his statement before the investigative committee? Is perjury perhaps more expensive than 510 euros?

Interesting - just a few screenshots, but what they show would be really nice: a native Smalltalk for Mac OS X. I've already played around a bit with VisualWorks, but it's just not native - you still see your own system world there, and it's poorly integrated into OS X at best. A Smalltalk that looks and feels like an OS X application, and that could perhaps use all the Objective-C classes via a corresponding bridge, that would be something.

Well, here's someone writing again who doesn't know what he's talking about (no, not majo, but the scribbler from Süddeutsche!) Because the first file-sharing system with greater distribution and encryption is FreeNet - all data and search queries are transmitted there in such a way that no one can tell where data is located and who wants it. Precisely a system that makes censorship absurd, because it's impossible in such a system. Not even the operators of nodes in FreeNet can see what data is stored on their nodes and what paths the data takes. Very interesting concept, all things considered, unfortunately a FreeNet node consumes bandwidth for breakfast. At Industrial Technology & Witchcraft you can find the original article.
I need to check this out, it sounds a bit confusing, but quite interesting. This might be a way to break up some of the rather tight couplings and bindings of modules in the Python Desktop Server. And since the Python Desktop Server is still in Beta, you're allowed to do that sort of thing.

Sounds absurd? It is: essentially a plastic construction with a couple of lenses that provide a 35mm focal length on full frame, with 3.5 mm shift travel. Various connections for the body.

Hmm. Too bad – there's a report about a Python library class that offers a much better alternative to readline (the input routine used in the Python interpreter). You can do multiline editing with it and, for example, use Tab to autocomplete Python names (modules and other globals). Disadvantage: it requires curses. And oddly enough, curses isn't generated when building the private Python for PyDS. Strange.
Ok, so I simply copied the files from the standard Python that comes with OS X 10.2, and it works. Nice module. Only: once again, the programmers have no idea about unusual environments like, for example, 8-bit character sets. Umlauts don't work. Backspace doesn't work; you have to use Ctrl-H instead.
But it's definitely more comfortable, even if it takes a bit longer to load. Let's see if it can possibly be integrated into the monitoring client in the Python Desktop Server, since that suffers mainly from its absolutely spartan input capabilities.

Yeah, great.

Even more absurd: that's why Linux will never be as innovative as Windows. - I'm still waiting for Microsoft to implement innovative features like tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer, and for Microsoft to implement something as innovative as a functioning package management system for post-installation software like Debian apt-get or Red Hat rpm. Sorry, Ballmer, but that's only good enough as background material for the Monkeydance.
