Not when I have pretty yellow buttons that fart when I touch them. It's so dirty, right?

You're right. Javascript is not Java, but the thing is bigger than just that one function. If you read the bit about what's going on with the code, or view the source of the page, you'll see that it's about six times larger, all told.

[script type="snobbery"] Looking at whole thing though, it feels kind of inefficient to render the whole board every time you move a piece around, and it's certainly not salable. I mean, what if there were more controls, or a bigger board? This thing would fall apart completely. [/script]

Oh dear god, don't remind me. It's like everyone who's ever learned how to write an excel macro suddenly thinks it's the most useful all purpose tool for everything. Then they fashion themselves as "programmers." It's kind of like Fox Pro that way, for the same reason.

You know, they have keyboard kits that you can spend entirely too much money on that will get you a real keyboard for the ipad. Might not be especially useful for porn, but I've heard that people like them.

Don't we already have enough ported, legacy bullshit for Linux and iPad? I know people feel like they're addicted to office, but they're not. They get by just fine without it. Windows tablets will flounder in the market this year and next, and then Microsoft will probably do something idiotic like port office. Then, I'm sure that there will be a couple of people who buy the ported version of office, but as usual, it will be too little, too late from Microsoft. The biggest problem the company has is how fat and complacent they have been through all of this. Windows could have ruled the world of mobile if they had been a little more forward thinking a little earlier in the game. They should have thought about phones and tablets before Apple. There was no reason not to. And while I think rumors of the death of the PC might be premature, I think they missed the boat on mobile, and it will be a lot more difficult for them to catch up.

Literature, even classic literature contains profanity, sex, and violence that would make the FCC rules nazis cringe. Does it really make sense to limit a child's education by omitting it? Figures though, schools in America are already among the worst in the world. Why not go just that little extra distance to seal that worst in the world title?

Well, to your point, it's entirely possible that it is actually illegal in the US. Just because the government is doing it, doesn't make it legal. It still has to be proven in court, be it civil or criminal if this kind of practice will survive in the long run. I would really like to see the present Supreme Court hear this one. They're entertaining, if nothing else.

Yes, but Apple's iOs farting apps have superior usability.

Yeah, if it's not farting, or ringing, or buzzing, or making animal noises, I'm all, why am I even here?
