Journal GameboyRMH's Journal: Web Technology Solution Form (work in progress) 3
The discussion on the recent article on JS' problems inspired me to make this, but I've also made it with solutions to the CA problem, client apps, and multimedia tech like Flash/Silverlight/WebGL in mind.
Your proposed web technology is a:
( ) Client-based
( ) Server-based
( ) Network-based
Solution trying to address a lack of:
( ) Speed
( ) Security
( ) Functionality
( ) Interoperability
And requires all devices to:
( ) Have the same CPU architecture
( ) Run the same operating system
( ) Use a proprietary and/or patent-encumbered piece of software
( ) Be carefully administered by security-conscious uber-geeks
( ) Place all trust in one corporation or government agency
( ) Unnecessarily rely on a fragile, hierarchical infrastructure
And furthermore:
( ) Exposes CPU/GPU microcode vulnerabilities to the web
( ) Makes web developers' lives miserable
( ) Makes users' lives miserable
( ) Destroys developer freedom
( ) Destroys user privacy
( ) Only moves the problem to another area
In summary, your solution fails because:
( ) One True Platform solutions are not acceptable
( ) Average Joes have to use computers too
( ) There are bad guys on the Internet
( ) Proprietary and/or hierarchical web technologies are bad and the last thing we need is more of them
I'll take suggestions on what to add to this form, so make some.

And furthermore:
() Requires all users to have an 8 core CPU, a minimum 1 GB video card and specific driver version

Just my jumbled^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hhumbled opinion... but I believe there should be an selection is each section for: ( )Doesn't cost anything at all - OR - ( ) Costs more than any other company is spending on technology so that there is something to make people feel like they're missing something.
