I love that the ITU is trying to standardize what is basically a version number.

It'd be like saying "Chrome 7 can't possibly be called that because it's doesn't match our standards for what a Version 7 browser does".

arp poisoning doesn't work on wifi APs since they know the difference between LAN and WAN... and many of them don't allow LAN-to-LAN communication at all.

Especially since gnome-terminal with antialiasing is actually faster than xterm without.

Minecraft will never be available in the appstore because it's written in Java. Yet my mapping program for minecraft will be. That doesn't seem right.

They did remove flash.. the latest Macbook Airs don't have flash installed, and Safari doesn't even prompt you to install it anymore.. instead you have to know to go to adobe's website to install flash.

I really can see it. Who can't see Steve Jobs announcing in 2 years that 10.8 will use the app store exclusively? With a giant slide that says "99% of all mac users exclusively use the app store already" and "No more messing with .dmgs" and "automatically stay up to date for all your software".

He'll push getting rid of manual software installation as a feature.

Except it doesn't cost me $100 a year to get an app in a repository.

Seems to be setup exactly the same as for iOS apps.

I don't even have a printer... but for that, I'd use Send2Phone.

If I select Print... I get a print preview button on the print options page.. must be a linux feature.

That reminds me, I just had to agree to the new App store EULA on my iphone.. it was 58 pages long. Insane.

You use Google to defend SQL against NoSQL, conveniently ignoring the fact that Google is a flag waving NoSQL fan. Why do you think they created BigTable?

There are 86400 seconds in a normal day, however there is an additional second added once or twice a year to adjust for solar time.

No. There is an additional second added every few years... at completely unpredictable times.

The fact that there are government game ratings at all. The US has game ratings through the ESRB, but they're not a government entity, and the ratings are just parental guidelines. It's not illegal for a 10 year old to play a game rated M, or see an R rated movie... and it's certainly not illegal for a game or a movie to forgo getting a rating at all.. in fact that's a selling point for a lot of DVDs.

Dynamic audio. The html5 audio tag is so bad, that browser makers have started developing their own audio APIs... unfortunately, they're still in the planning stages.
