A new language designed to "compile" or streamline translation in to many different language. One that contains the meaning structures needed to output English, Mandarin, Spanish or any other language on the fly..
I could easily see how you could import a doc from your native language and have it ask questions from the operator to clarify ambiguities in meaning that would effect translation.
Then we could run Ubuntu in a VM under Chrome.
I wrote this back in 2001, and it's still relevant!

Running through something like a Citrix Netscaler helps filter out much if your lines aren't overwhelmed.

There are a few other companies that seem to have a solution, but this really looks more like a CDN with enough capacity and some filters to ride out what ever attack could be launched at them.

I'll give you my ASCII when you pry it from my cold, dead hands!
But seriously. EBCDIC would work just as well.
ASCII is bad enough with hidden characters and where tabs and spaces look the same.
Where 1 & l & I or 0 & O or ' & ` are nearly identical in the wrong fonts.
How many times have I tried to compile only to get errors related to some invisible character that was imported from DOS or some guy's weird editor in Korea.
Really we want simpler. 8 Bit's is 2 bits to many already, This guy wants 16 Bit characters or 24 Bit.
Imaging 20 varieties of A that all look the same but behave differently!
I'm tell you right now. I will be doing ASCII for the rest of my life. I don't even like GUI IDE's I still prefer VI!
Imagine what a mess when you have 20 A's that all look identical but
really dumb.
Now maybe if it were a wifi spot with shared data, but USB who cares.
We have over 1000's of years found and adapted plants that are good for us. Our diet's have evolved over very long time spans be optimized.
Now we come along since the Industrial revolution and using a little knowledge of Chemistry and Biology think we can do better then what we had been doing.
We let's look at the criteria.
If it's cheaper, tastier and didn't kill the lab rats and first people we fed it too right away, then, great were good.
Well what about 10 or 20 years out?
Now have 1000's of laboratories and companies putting these short term tested chemicals in to our diets. What's is the net effect of that?
What are the Odds that some of these will really have some terrible long term consequences?
One case. trans fats in margarine which was sold to us for 30 years as a cheaper healthier alternative to butter.
Now we know causes heart disease and it so much worse them butter it's being outlawed in several states.
We were all sold bullshit.
Gees man. Listen to your self.
> There is NOTHING you can do to avoid them all. Some of them are even natural.
Why can't we just deal with the Natural ones.
Is it so bad that I don't want pesticides, or any other things that started in an oil well in my food?
Really I don't think this is asking too much.
I so much reading and research in the past 20 on some of this that I don't trust any testing ADM, Monsanto and other mega corporations do.
There is such a long history of people getting screwed up by bad drugs, chemicals, cosmetics that were "tested to be safe", is just overwhelming. So much that you can't really explain it to people.
Cigarettes where proven as having heath benefits at one point in time. The fight to just put warning labels on was monumental!
My point is it something that is so obviously harmful required near super human efforts to get the word out then we don't have any chance to slow down the less dangerous stuff.
The power of billions of dollars just overrides all good sense and judgment. Our political system is completely unequipped to respond.
So my point is, yea a few worked fell sick in China. Mean while we are all eating this stuff.
Just wait till the full effect of GM crops starts to effect us.
We really are the lab rats.
> I don't care if it isn't dangerous,
Maybe I wasn't as clear as I could have been.
First, I know more about Chemistry then you think.
Eric was saying it's just as not as dangerous as the other isomer.
It's still dangerous in higher doses none the less.
It's more like I am noticing that when here in the USA in general I don't feel as well as when I am in China, India, or even Mexico. I have also noticed that is true for many people and the general populations as a whole.
Each short cut they take with our food on it's own we can tolerate. But now it's with everything. High fructose Corn syrup, high salt, food coloring, oily diet full of MSG and all sorts of processed crap. Add to that trace amounts of toxin, and heavy metals.
It starts add up. Each takes it's small toll.
When I am in India there is nothing but fresh. We search for weeks for a can opener with no luck, they just don't have canned food there.
Even refrigerators aren't in common use. Meat is hard to find.
Just don't drink the water.
If I wasn't so damb board when in India and the jobs pay so little I'd move there, I am sure I'd be far healthier. Problem is after a month the cravings for American fast food are far worse then kicking cigarettes. I mean I have tolerated 16 hours in a hot sweaty train just to get a Mc Donalds "Maharaja Mac" Chick version of a Big Mac, or some KFC. http://www.mcdonaldsindia.com/
Eric,
Does it really matter?
Do you really want to eat that crap.
I am sorry but there are several things that I don't want anywhere near my food.
1.) Deification and other bodily fluids.
2.) Heavy metals.
3.) Petroleum products.
You can't tell me well it's just a little bit of feces.
Yea it's just a little bit of neurotoxin.
What do they say "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger".
That may be fine for animal feed, but it's getting to the point the point where no matter how much effort you can't protect yourself and your family from these things.
We are starting to see so many health problems in our western culture. Little by little so many getting traced back to diet.
Are you familiar with the engineering term "Accumulation of Tolerances"
It's about predicting reliability. Say were building a car, and each part can be 1 mm off.
After you connect 10 parts together in a chain, you can have on occasion be 10 mm off.
Well it's like that with tolerating toxins.
Yea we can handle so much mercury and so much hexane and so much BPA, PFOE, Flouride, Aluminum, Cadmium etc. etc. etc
Even Sodium.
With each product it pushing that limit.
But in the real world we eat 20 products per day.
End result, Cancer, Autism, dementia, heart attack, diabetes, stroke, Asthma, allergies, lower IQ's, and a plethora of other problems.
How can anyone sort out what's causing what.
It's like badly written source code. You can't tell where the problem is. The only way out id to start correcting ugly code a piece at a time and without fail, the errors start going away.
Hexane is derived from petroleum. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a mild, gasoline-like odor.
It's used in Electrical contact cleaner, and Computer monitor screen cleaners.
Hexane is the dominate extraction solvent for oil seeds throughout the world, including soybean and other high volume oils used for human and animal consumption. 95% of the world's corn oil is produced from corn germ obtained by wet-milling.
The corn germ is dried, then shipped to hexane extraction facilities to obtain the oil.
Basically corn oil and high fructose corn syrup are contaminated with the stuff in small amounts.

I called some of the Debian Linux guys on there shit. Maybe it was them?
Problem is Acer or who ever Microsoft is going after would have to do the calling.
For them it's down to $, what is cheaper or will make them the most money.
The opponent is counting on negotiating a settlement where it's cheaper to pay them off then to fight.
Corporations don't have principals or a conscience.
Now if there were a group that could legally represent Linux they could file an suit against Microsoft.
Imagine if Microsoft threatened to sue people for using a Apple products.
But this is the inherent problem of non-profit / non-corporate organizations in a world dominated by economics and financial interests.
I really wish I had the time to work on it myself.
Basic audio and video capture should be really trivial, but I have no idea what the Mozilla code looks like inside.
Streaming audio and video from the browser is something I am currently trying to play with using Java, but
I don't know java very well and and very rusty with it. Probably will need to pay a friend to help get it working.
I would be willing to share some of my older code (from livecam) and answer questions for anyone struggling to figure this stuff out.

I have heard as an argument for the legitimacy of a claim that company X,Y & Z have settled and making payments.
So maybe not a legal precedent but still a precedent.
precedent
–noun

2.
any act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations.
–adjective precedent
3.
preceding; anterior.
I've noticed several design suggestions in your code.
