Submission + - Military aircraft to get all-fiber network gear (networkworld.com) 1

coondoggie writes: Looking to significantly reduce weight, improve on-board communications and make it easier to upgrade avionics, the US military is developing prototype phonic gear for use in all aircraft. Behind such a drastic shift is a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency project with an ungainly moniker: Network Enabled by Wavelength division multiplexing Highly Integrated Photonics (NEW-HIP).

The border-radius example is definitely a good one when you consider that NO version of IE natively supports it or any of its variants. But, truth be told, why bother? As long as your corners are squared throughout the site as a whole (and thus fit together nicely), not having IE support for them isn't so bad. I've rarely had too much trouble convincing clients that little quirks like that don't have to be made exactly the same across every browser (mostly by pointing out that they'll be adding significantly to their bill if they want me pulling the hours it will take to code a hack that fits).

And may god have mercy on your soul if they demand Netscape 3 support.

The thought of trying to do Netscape support leaves me trembling in the fetal position. Thanks for that image.

Granted somebody will probably read the letter of the clause and try to prosecute perfectly innocent repairmen, but am I the only one who sees this as a potential attack on companies like SafeNet a.k.a. MediaDefender? Looks like someone in the legislature's getting tired of the already overburdened Texas court system getting clogged with RIAA subpoenas and motions for discovery.
