Any chance you have -offline as a command line option?
When I see how unusable it is (i.e. every time I touch it) I can't help being surprised no one has managed to beat Excel yet.
Excel's horrid UI has now caused me to delete several hours of data entry. If I ever meet someone from that team...

As we say in French, if my aunt had two we'd call her my uncle.

I think there are WP plugins out there to make SVG embedding easy.

I take a Wikipedia list and just assign names based on that (I used the flightless birds list) Plenty: http://bit.ly/cwXWVg

The last version of Windows that I could use without screaming was 98. Sure it crashed, but in a comfortingly regular manner.
@vojtechtoman I thought you mind find a bit of this funny :) http://bit.ly/aTAHze
DAP WG is thinking about moving the System Information API to LC, any thoughts? Like? Hate? Love? http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/system-info/

In France we vote in schools — wish we voted in pubs though, it'd bring better turn out!
Come on @nick_clegg, not with the Tories. They'll get it wrong yet again, and drag you down with them.

Comments are expected on the public-device-apis list, and they're more than welcome!

Ce câble est certes génial pour ça, par contre la petite télécommande est très, très fragile.

W3C has already succeeded far beyond MPEG in MD standards, it's a large industry already.

You could model an XDM based on DocumentFragments I guess, use Document as the referencing base URI?

Je vous rejoins sur beaucoup dans votre article, mais la basse comparaison à Bush ne vous fait pas honneur.
Adobe could easily come back if they lost their puzzling obsession with SWF. Who cares about SWF? Output HTML from the Flash authoring tool.

Y'a des parcs plus sympa pour pique-niquer, Buttes-Chaumont, Belleville, etc. Et on peut y picoler tranquille.

Losing 7% of revenue isn't "fine" :) But yeah, it would survive. It could trash SWF, author to better format, and lose much less

Oooh, wish I'd thought of that one :)

Is there a way to tell git that a given file is text/html (so that a web server can use that info)? I can't seem to find anything. #lazyweb

Votre mémoire est-il disponible en ligne?

C'est une très bonne idée, mais il faut naturellement qu'elle soit bien réalisée. Les aspects coopératifs impliquant les...

I've been thinking about a full XPath plugin for jQuery, it shouldn't be too hard.

Replying to @edd

It would be even better if all languages supported here docs rather than the poor substitutes often offered for multiline strings!
Ce soir, je vais à la XLIIe République des blogs!

Replying to @CarolineFel

Oui c'est un bot, il suit une recherche permanente sur certains mots-clefs et répond en fonction. Celui-ci est un peu bête :)

Replying to @dporyngier

Ben bien sûr!

Replying to @alainlambert

Je suppose que si un anonyme contribue deux fois, on ne sait pas que c'est la même personne.

Replying to @CarolineFel

Si un blogueur était anonyme, il ne posterait pas deux fois dans le même blog. L'anonymat n'a pas d'identification continue.

Replying to @alainlambert

Ou en tout cas, ne serait-ce que l'adresse du blog fait office de pseudonyme.

Je suis déçu, il manque au moins un "Domenech et la franc-maçonnerie" sur cette couverture.

Replying to @bradneuberg

jQuery's APIs are still way more usable than the DOM's.

Predictions: micropayments, peer-to-peer as part of the Web stack, fuzzying the browser boundaries to access more stuff.

It might be cheap enough that you might want to rent something just in case you get stranded there? I'd love to go to Ulan Bator!

I wish browsers had a "no, really, please do reload *everything* in this page with the utmost prejudice".

No, but 95 did :)
Whoa. I checked a draft in, and it immediately passed pubrules and linkcheck! That's like bugfree code at first try. I ♥ #ReSpec.

Replying to @null and @SofienneR

Je pense que c'est une première :)

Replying to @null and @sgalineau

95 crashed very differently depending on hardware. 98 was fine for me. I didn't have a computer in the 3.x era :)

Replying to @annevk

Have you thought about splitting it into small independent bits that could be worked on separately? It makes getting help easier.

Replying to @annevk

Yeah I know, but people tend to be less scared of smaller documents. Splitting is like violence, if it doesn't work SPLIT MORE!
IT systems in big companies are horrible. Being asked to pick security questions in German, truthful answers too short for the system, etc.

Replying to @annevk

Worked for widgets, seems to work for DAP. I guess you have to be careful not to split things that are deeply related.

Replying to @consttype and @octoberequus

I have no idea what's running behind it all. Frankly, in this case, I really don't want to know :)
