While Free6.com included a notice warning that the posting of “child pornography or other illegal material” would be reported to “local authorities,” Burdick had site administrators add a line noting that, “Free6.com may disclose these communications to the authorities at its discretion.”
Site says to stop posting inappropriate, illegal material. Site warns that it will report such content to authorities. Site acts on threat.
Uh, Java is Open Source,
Sorry, OP is right.
Regarding standardization, we just had a client come to us with a pretty nice AJAX application and told us to rebuild it in Silverlight. See the client realizes that it's the user experience that's the most important, not the tech that the app is built with. Simply put, there are things that we can so in Silverllight right now that just can't be done well in HTML5 or even Flash. Conversely, there are apps that will work better in Flash and or HTML 5 than Silverlight.
Also I could build the same application in HTM5, Flash and Silverlight. Dollars to donuts, with either Flash or SL, it's going to be more maintainable than HTML5. I am working on an AJAX project right and have done many, so my previous comment is based on personal development experiences.
If God had not given us sticky tape, it would have been necessary to invent it.
