It's a fact you can't ignore though.

These antibiotic immunity related deaths seem only to happen inside hospitals though.

It doesn't solve anything. When you move such functionality into HTML you will just get "thousands" of browser specific datepicker implementations, in each version of said browser.

If there is a badly implemented datepicker written in JavaScript you can use a different library. A good JavaScript library will make sure it works with consistency and as expected in different browsers.

But I have noticed that constantly programming and thinking about software design is hurting the quality in the end. Letting the mind drift of once in a while helps me slow down a bit.

It kind of feels like I'm offloading my thoughts for re-factoring in the back of my mind while I'm doing something else.

It's possible just not feasible and therefore there is no interest in executing these plans by corporations.

HTML should be a markup language, CSS should be the styling language and JavaScript should be used to handle matters such as input, processing and output. The principle of separation of concerns is very simple and elegant. In the long run it makes sure you don't get a mess of a framework in which things can be done in 50 ways, of which 25 work only in browser X and the other 25 behave differently in each browser.

HTML5 is being designed by "professionals" and I have never seen such a mess. Functionality is being introduced that shouldn't even be part of HTML, just look at the amount of new input types.

Unix style fragmentation* is inevitable. We already have version fragmentation.

"To make matters worse, the big new players in the Unix market promptly committed major strategic blunders. One was to seek advantage by product differentiation — a tactic which resulted in the interfaces of different Unixes diverging. This threw away cross-platform compatibility and fragmented the Unix market." - http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch02s01.html

Uhm, I'm not going to enter my password.

Wow, it's so useless and clunky.

Google has rules concerning SEO. A warning for the rest of us not to try to cheat our way to a better ranking.

After 12 years!

That's it folks, Sergey pulled the plug out of the Google server below his desk. Everyone go home.

I don't like Google. But I don't like Microsoft either.

And this guy has evil written all over him. He worked at Microsoft for 3 years prior to joining Google. He is now back working for Microsoft. Blogging on msdn.com.

Overpriced processed juice. Only reason this company is still alive is because it's owned by the Coca-Cola company.

Try to do the same and watch your company go bankrupt within 2 months.

I had to laugh out loud because it still looks the same. Or was that the joke?

The Chromebook is Google's retarded child, we shouldn't challenge it or make fun it. Just let it be.

Dropbox _is_ distributed and resistant to failure by design.

edit:

Not sure why I'm getting downvoted, maybe a link to a source will help.

"Everything in your Dropbox folder is always on your hard drive and merely synced with our online service, so you have access to your files even if you're offline. If you have multiple linked computers on your local area network, we'll even sync from those computers rather than via the Dropbox service whenever it can."

For this reason the Java JPasswordField getPassword() method returns an array with no other copies around. An array can also easily be zero'd out with fill().

SaaS or any other cloud based service model. Storing your data somewhere else where it gets held hostage in a proprietary format is a lot of pain waiting to happen.

Dropbox and Gmail are examples of how it should be done, I have a copy, I can make more copies, they make sure its accessible from everywhere I want. If Dropbox or Gmail suddenly stops I will still have my files.

Correction - Why the cloud is such a fucking stupid idea

Without doctors people would consult each other on what to do about their illness. Without nurses people close to each other will help out. Without firemen people would be passing the water bucket.

Any job can be made to be useless, the difference is that when someone tries to specialize he/she becomes good at it. It's how the world works. You optimize JavaScript, which in turn helps someone else be more productive.

This Disney song should give you better feeling of yourself after reading this dark and depressing blog post. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whDr4MJbIhs :-D

> I’m also going to omit Intel’s library from this comparison.

Without a reason?

Haha, I love this reply. It's how ingenious people (engineers) think, patching and ducktape will solve all your problems! :-D

Baby formula is too expensive, you would need to eat a half week worth every day!

Evil is a relative term

> Results show that brand-keyword ads have no short-term benefits, and that returns from all other keywords are a fraction of conventional estimates.

The article on reuters completely ignores the keyword 'short-term'. Furthermore, if eBay had an actually viable competitor it would be fighting for those ads with every penny.
