Apple: you can be very much certain that so long as you require a reboot I won't ever upgrade Safari (or, for that matter, bother using it).
Replying to @annevk
If there were a better OS, I'd switch immediately!
Kindle as the real tablet: http://bit.ly/6oG4v2 Very much spot on as far as I'm concerned.
Replying to @dalmaer
With all you guys doing web on phones, how about aligning on a packaging standard so we could write once run anywhere for real? :)
Replying to @hsivonen
Actually it's companies that haven't understood what global demand is. End users get it perfectly well.
Replying to @hsivonen
Indeed. I guess we're both thinking of DVD zoning :)

At least for online video distribution, they often don't have a choice: rights were already sold geographically.
Chevènement fait de la pub sur Facebook! http://berjon.com/tmp/jpc-fb.png À quand Balladur sur Twitter?
Replying to @hsivonen
It's a bug now, it wasn't as much a bug when many of the rights were originally sold. That's the quandary.
Replying to @hsivonen
Right, I'm not saying they're not braindead, just that not *everything* can be blamed on stupidity.
I seem to have lost track of the many beers and bottles of champagne I promised to buy if MS releases SVG in IE some day. Probably best thus
Interesting: the city of Paris is experimenting with a shared microcell phone network to reduce electro-magnetic pollution.

OH in the métro earlier, re Chrome ads: "I don't know much about them computers, but “0 bugs” sounds like a big fat lie to me". Damn right!
Replying to @null and @marcosc
Yes, OH is used in French (for lack of an equivalent). LOL can be MDR, but usually stays LOL. There are a few pure fr acros though.

Tout à fait d'accord avec toi, mais les autres ne sont peut-être pas en rupture de stocks.

So, the TAG elections closed six hours ago — any results yet?
Replying to @roessler
I did that Friday and yesterday. Plus, it's an *election* man. We want results!
Replying to @abcoates
On the other hand, it's a database backed vote — there's little need for counting of any kind :)
Bah, it's looking like the Irish election results come out faster. #w3c
Replying to @rigow
Je pense aux membres du TAG et l'idée me plait beaucoup. On pourrait vendre des billets pour ça!
Mano Solo est mort! Dis-moi que pas si seul...
I woke up this morning with the glee of a child on the first day of snow; yet I go to bed not knowing the results of the TAG election #tough
Replying to @Maitre_Eolas
J'ai vu pas mal de bugs de DST avec l'iPhone.
Okay, that week-end thing is over now, and it's morning in Boston. Unruly throngs of geeks with bad haircuts want TAG election results! #w3c
Replying to @null and @marcosc
Indeed, that should've read "unruly thong of geek" :)
Wow, TAG elections resulted in a tie that had to be broken using RFC 2777! Sadly, no @torgo :(

It defines an algorithm for randomly selecting an item in a list in a way that is publicly verifiable.
la #coopol commence par un gros Flash. FAIL. Des liens non cliquables. FAIL. C'est pas encore ça la politique online en France.
Pour #cdp, "Culture et Communication" sont le même thème. Si Firefox me plait mais pas Rohmer je coche quoi?
#cdp fait le même genre d'amalgame douteux avec "Sécurité et Défense" et "Santé et Solidarité". Révélateur?
#cdp est sensé être indépendant des partis politiques, mais on conseille quand même d'explorer la blogosphère UMP.
#cdp Les initiatives "Près de chez moi" sont à Caen, Le Havre, en Auvergne (j'habite Paris). Avec internet, le monde est petit!
#cdp Suggestion personnalisée d'initiative pour moi "Dominique de Villepin président en 2012". Humour: 10/10.
#coopol est plus difficile à critiquer, y'a moins de contenu (c'est dire...). La réalisation technique est largement supérieure ceci dit.
#coopol Rejoindre une section virtuelle demande l'aval de son secrétaire réel. Ah cette belle structure pyramidale qui étouffe le PS.
#coopol Je corrige: certaines sections acceptent les nouveaux automatiquement. C'est confondant.
Replying to @cdeniaud
Le mélange ouvert mais orienté est potentiellement une très bonne idée, mais niveau communication c'est pas clair du tout.
#coopol Deux demandes rejoindre des sections virtuelles rejetées, avec un message des plus succincts. C'est beau l'ouverture au monde.
#cdp et #coopol ont tant à améliorer que je commence à penser à rédiger un blog en Français #enferEtDamnation
Le nouveau logo du #PS c'est le même logo avec PS écrit en très gros pour ceux qui ne le reconnaîtraient pas. Est-ce une crainte réelle?
Apparemment, tout le #PS passe sous Drupal.
Ergo: la barre de navigation du nouveau site du #ps ouvre tantôt un menu, tantôt un page. FAIL.

Dear Weather, please don't make it be -6C° when I wake up and +5C° a few hours later, it makes sartorial decisions extremely complicated.
New, different TAG election results are now official — and this time @torgo is elected! Whee :)
Replying to @hsivonen
An eventful election if there ever was one! There are 3 appointees; I tend to think it makes sense though I'd like more new blood.
Replying to @hsivonen
I believe that yes, perhaps using something like Joose to emulate the extra OO features.
Replying to @manusporny
Of course, send me an email if you want, and you can patch against CVS too. Tell me if you have any questions!
Replying to @JeniT
Zooming in further shows enough overlap for bricks. If it's a fake, it's a really good fake!
Nouveau site #UMP. Tout graphique, ergonomie zéro, lisibilité zéro, standards zéro, toujours pas fini de charger... Un raté comme rarement.
Any recommendations for a good wireless headset for teleconferences? One that covers both ears preferably.
Hmpf, the jQuery14 stuff seems to be mostly video content — very disappointing. Insult upon injury: it crashed my FF.
Replying to @hsivonen
France has a birth certificate system to prove one's identity. It is messily decentralised at the best of times.
Replying to @hsivonen
Heh. My (French) citizenship is a handwritten piece of paper in a vault near Grenoble. I can get photocopies when needed.
Replying to @cwilso
Congratulations! Nice names too :)
Replying to @dalmaer
Mmm, because toString() applies to the object itself, not to its parameters?

The #DAP WG is looking at potentially exposing some of its APIs as local REST services. Feedback welcome. http://bit.ly/7VDYJk
Replying to @fgeorges
Heh, I don't know if expanding the acronym is all that illuminating, but it's now done!
Replying to @fgeorges
Thanks for the pointer. I think there is stronger interest in simpler APIs using JS, but those are certainly things to watch.
Seeing @ndw as a rock star reminded me I wanted to give Mark Logic a shot. Bah, no OSX build :(
Replying to @koztoujours
Export puis import CSV?
Replying to @null and @ndw
Yeah, but I have an Air and VMs tend to be extra slow here, and then overheat the CPU grinding everything to a halt. Rock on though!

#Seesmic website asking me to install Silverlight. Silverlight? Really? Just because it's a zombie technology doesn't make it cool you know.
Replying to @torgo
Slightly worse than Flash video in that it doesn't have near the install base, thereby adding inconvenience atop proprietaryness.

He was Sarkozy's internet advisor — now we have HADOPI and LOPPSI. I don't exactly trust Loïc's choices :)

Mmmm, seems to me everyone's a groupie in that video!
So the TAG has finally closed issue binaryXML-30! Good, now where do we wreak havoc next?
Replying to @glazou
It would have to be at least as readable — which would mean entirely new screen tech if it also needs to do video.
Back on the SVG WG! Writing down some ideas.
Replying to @jonprice
That's part of the plan, technically through better HTML integration. Beyond that it becomes largely a tooling issue.
Replying to @Fondapol
Le 16 janvier 2011? :)
Replying to @fgeorges
It is defined using WebIDL, so it's technically language-independent though of course the primary target is JS.
Replying to @fgeorges
It's a web spec — does anyone use anything other than JS in a web context? :)
Replying to @null and @vojtechtoman
Know of many browsers that support XQuery?:) Besides I'm not sure how an XQuery WebIDL binding would work. Interesting though!
Replying to @null and @eric_brechemier
In all the wrong directions of course ;-) I'm preparing a blog with some details...
OH: "Niveau gestion du contenu, tu t'es cru à la fête du SPIP toi non?"

Replying to @null and @karlpro
I tend to think that that sort of high-level feature should be handled with a scripting library, no?
Replying to @codedread
Whichever way you please, email, twitter, snail mail, SMS, IRC, log messages with bank transfers, etc.
Replying to @null and @shelleypowers
You mean with /> or floating in content?
Replying to @null and @shelleypowers
That's why I don't expect everything in the list to be acted upon — but we also have to look to the future.
Replying to @shepazu
I think that trimming the fat is important to make it more useful, to get higher quality implementations and tools.
Replying to @Authueil
Y'a-t-il un espoir de voir ces publications modernisées et donc passer du PDF à l'HTML?

Je conçois bien que le secrétariat soit débordé; si tu as qqun à qui causer d'une initiative Open Data en France je suis preneur!
Replying to @null and @karlpro
What I'm not sure about is what you would expect the spec to do versus what would be done in script (it's interactive stuff) Email?
Replying to @codedread
I hate blog comments, they're always done wrong in any of replies, threads, identity... Maybe I'll add it done right some day :)
