Might be a reasonable option since AJAX applications are (should be) single page applications.

Most of the 9/11 questions raised by sights like reopen911.org, flight77.info, 911research, and 911truth.org appear to the layman, like me, to raise valid questions about the answers supplied by the 9/11 commission. Are these, in fact, just your run-of-the-mill consipracy theories? Is there coverage that rebuts these claims?

I wish everyone would stop using it OR that firefox always put new windows in a tab unless I explicitly chose new window.

I posted this as a story, but as usual, they are rejected so I put them here instead.

Basically about how XMLHttpRequest can't be stopped by the browsers stop button. It's a serious problem when google's services cause the browser to consume 100% CPU. Imagine the problems when less proficient developers write crappy applications.

Why Ajax Sucks (Most of the Time)

it seems the following mozilla preference causes gmail not to load.
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.onunload","noAccess");

I want a means to generate a file's contents whenever it's referenced (and have it cached unless something has changed). I think this can be accompilshed with devices (at least on Linux) but I'm not sure that that's the right approach. Ideally I'd like to be able to write a script in, say, Bash, python or perl, that produced output that, for all intents and purposes, was the contents of a readonly file.

I want a way to bookmark my email messages. What would be very cool is if mozilla mail tagged email messages and threads with unique ids that the browser could access via something like mailbox://localhost/?mail=12345 and mailbox://localhost/?thread=12345.

For the time being, I suppose I'll just use perl to publish my mail folders and produce anchors that I can bookmark.

1. Dynamic, temporary/expiring email addresses. If the address includes a plain-text date of expiration, it will allow spammers to know that the address is no longer valid so don't bother sending it.

e.g.
myID-20040113@somedomain.com will be good until January 13th, 2004
myID-200401@somed

There is a technological solution to spam that is 100% effective. Dynamically
generated, encoded and encrypted email address that, when decryted and decoded,
contain who is allowed to send the email and/or for how the long address is valid.
For example, I can encode/encrypt "org.slashdot" to indicate that the address is
only valid from slashdot.org. The address can become
b3JnLnNsYXNoZG90-20030801-myuser@mydomain.com.
