Ugh, make the mean web 2.0 go away ...

RE: Curious -- who blocks Ads, and Why?
I simply block pop-up ads, and ads that make sounds (its the only tiem I'll actually intentionally block a host). Pop-up ads are anonying and quite a few of them make it so you get rid of one, and ten more popup. I don't believe this is theif for the simple reason that I won't go to sites with banner ads if I couldn't block them, and if the site offers a subscription thing (like Slashdot or ezBoard's CSC) to remove ads, and I visit regularly, I buy it. As for ads on TV, we're all forgetting one major thing - when are you susposed to go to the bathroom during a two hour movie after you drink that whole thing of cola?!

RE: Windows Developers still don't get it!
I gave up on the Oracle installer years ago. Most of the time, I do the installation manually with the oratool (I have the instructions written down how to do this). Works every single time without fail. In addition, on Mac OS X, Oracle couldn't even get their crappy installer to work correctly with our 1.4SUN JVM, so they just give us a bunch of tarfiles, and tell us to tar zxvf ora10.tar.gz /home/ora (litterary), and then run /home/ora/MakeDatabase, or something like that. I haven't done this in a long time though.

RE: Forums insecure much?

CS 2.0 was supposed to be released today, feb 20.
I'm starting to look at it now. Should be a big improvement.
Can't wait. I think most of us will be hapopy with many features fixed in CS2.0. BTW, did you get my email about MSSQL CLR UDT?

The namespace is the restrictor, and it serves two purposes. First, it ensures that there will never be a collision between the name of a standard property or binding and a proprietary one. Second, it's an immediate signal to the developer that he/she is using a non-standard construct.
Fair enough, that makes sense. Let's hope we don't see things like, "in IE, the css property -mso-roundedcorner has a sligntly different behavior than the firefox implementation of -mso-roundedcorners, so you have to ..."
@Stan Rogers said:
Oh, I should have added that -moz-binding was created for XUL (and that Firefox is just an XUL document with attached behaviours, when it comes right down to it). When IE is natively doing XAML, I expect that we'll see the same sort of add-ins from MS, and I can only hope that they, too, are namespace-identified.
Already there as HTC behaviors. I've been using them since IE4 (I think?), and they're incredibly useful, letting you do stuff like, <input class="numbersOnly" .="" type="textbox"> without having to deal with onBlur /onChange or whatever else for each and every box.
Not to be a pest, but any idea when we are going to community server 2.0? The bugs are starting to anony me to high heaven. BTW, for your threaded view, check out Invision Power Board, it has a damn good threaded view, and it also has hybrid view (it shows posts like in flat, but it also shows how each post is replied to, etc).

Sounds like she's using thje DVOARK style keyboard over QWERTY which is considerably more effectient.

RE: The entire website on one dll?!?!
Ok, maybe I'm wrong about this, but when dymanicly loading libraries on Windows, the library itself is loaded into RAM, and then it's left there even when it's unused until Windows needs addition RAM, in which case it then unloads the library if nothing is using it. Admittly, if the library has functions a lot of programs need, or if IIS/Apache are using it as a module, then this might be a very effectient way to do it. However, such a case is rare enough I'd deem it WTF unless I saw the code ...

Ah ha, that's what I meant, Nested View ...
What's wrong with it? The posts on the main feed have lots and lots of replies, often going in different directions. With the flat view, you can't tell what's a reply to what.
Invision Power Board has what you want. I worked briefly with them so take this with a grain of salt, but I found their threaded view was quite good. Alteratively, you could run Slashcode, but then you'd need to find someway to bolt forums ontop of that (as it's a feature Slashdot is ... missing). Scope might be a good alterative if you don't mind running PHP (which, honesty as long as you use Apache, is pretty stable on Windows).
