What does it take to file an anti-trust complaint with the EU? Is Opera's filing against Microsoft available?

Tous les philosophes médiévaux ne sont pas ecclésiastiques, faut pas exagérer :) Dante, Wycliffe, Avicennes, Al-Farabi, ...

Replying to @Maitre_Eolas

...Al-Razi, Al-Kindi, Abélard (avant castration), Averroes... Tu tombes dans l'excès inverse!

One of the many reasons why you never, ever want to use anything from MPEG: http://bit.ly/bAybiP A must read if you ever watch or make video

Replying to @Maitre_Eolas

Dante a écrit De Monarchia, traité de philosophie politique; Averroes était andalou comme plusieurs autres.

Replying to @Maitre_Eolas

Je ne dis pas ça pour nier le rôle positif de l'Église; simplement elle n'est pas le end all and be all de la pensée médiévale

Can Weave work with non-FF browsers? I tend to use different UAs in different places

Replying to @hsivonen

Right, but at this point it's mostly source and summary docs. Any plans to standardise?

@james_clark It's essentially a Unix box on which you don't have to configure wifi and USB all the time. It shouldn't prove too surprising.

Does it render text in simpler SVGs? Does it have a font? Does it work with inches usually? Nothing else jumps up...
And now I've sent my #xmlprague paper in! Thanks @marcosc for the review! Come to the conference, it *always* rocks.

Replying to @james_clark

Flash always crashes, and any browser at that. It's best you find a way to disable it.

Replying to @al3xbrown

You tried innerHTML?

Replying to @DeputeTardy

Courage, on est tous avec vous!

Replying to @al3xbrown

Can you point me to the source? Something's fishy there...

Replying to @al3xbrown

get the result as html, not xml in ajaxForm(), and then insert it with jQuery's .html() — should work I'd hope!

Replying to @al3xbrown

That's normal, which is why I'm suggesting to use text, not XML (or call importNode, but careful how you mix it with jQuery...)

Replying to @al3xbrown

Not true, look at the dataType options in http://bit.ly/cFUwtc XML in browsers is hit and miss, really :)

Replying to @al3xbrown

jQuery.get("getXHTML.pl", function (data) { $("#container").html(data); }); should really just work, even with extra bells!

In many countries you have access to Wikipedia but nothing else (as is the case here in France).

Since it's a lifetime wireless connection you only pay for once, I suspect that's the reason, yes.
