It doesn't matter what wrapper the data has, you still need documentation for the details to figure out how exactly it works, what format you can send data in, what's likely to trigger error codes, semantics, etc, etc, etc. Every interface is going to have its own special requirements and capabilities and just jamming it in RDF or SIOC or FOAF doesn't change that.

you have the same problem with simple file downloads, flash, sl, activex components, firefox/chrome plugins etc...
even if they do eliminate all plugins/apps, that still leaves direct file downloads. sure, some can be filtered using reputation-based services, but i find all that kinda stuff creepy.
also, aren't they being hypocritical? they dont want java applets to run, but they wanna replace JS with Dart and basically introduce the same set of vulnerabilities....

True | Rhomboid | null | > So how do you think Adobe was going to have Flash running on WP7 which has a browser that doesn't support plugins?
By convincing Microsoft to add a plugin interface to IE. When Adobe initially [announced](http://www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=5500) that they were porting Flash to WP7, they referred to it as a plug-in:
> This evening Adobe issued a statement about Flash compatibility with Microsoft's Windows Mobile 7. It said, "Microsoft and Adobe are working closely together. While the newest version of Windows Phone won't support Flash at initial availability, both companies are working to include a browser plug-in for the full Flash player in future versions of Windows Phone.
You can call it "deployed with the browser" or "a plugin", but that's really irrelevant. The point is that Microsoft in one form or another has to cooperate to allow this to happen, whether by endorsing a full public plugin API for IE mobile, or just simply "working closely together" with Adobe. It can't happen without MS's support, so when MS says that there will be no plugins in IE10, that pretty much means no Flash, regardless of what Adobe says or wants. | null | 0 | 1316091958 | False | 0 | c2k1nup | t3_kgb4h | null | t1_c2k1nup | t1_c2k1ci4 | null | 1427603158 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

True | red-moon | null | Good. We got the word from MS recently that all our web sites - even those that had nothing to do with them - had to be silverlight-only or our licenses were going to skyrocket. (they're a client)
However, this push to dump *all* plugins appears to be an mostly and MS-only thing, which makes me suspect. Yes, media without plugins is a good idea, but plugins add so much useful functionality to a browser that the inability to have them at all is reason enough to dump that browser (IE10 are you there) completely. See, I like Adblock, and if IE10 is a "plugin-free experience", its experience I can do without. Adblock is just one example - there are many other plugins that I use enough that without them a browser is significantly less useful. Since MS is about the only one beating this drum, it seems like a move intended to extend their control from the desktop into the web.

True | [deleted] | null | No, it's then left up to the browser to implement javascript in the same way. Either way, you're talking about leaving it up to the individual browser to implement the proven global standard (javascript and/or PDF) the same way as everybody else.

Functional programming languages where these kind of type systems come from almost all use the arrow to denote return type.

EDIT: Stop voting me up, OceanSpray is right!
The arrow is just when transitioning from a type to a type.
The colon is indeed used when transitioning from a value to its type.

True | dbeta | null | Browsers should already implement javascript in the same way, that's the point of javascript. Websites don't need to use the PDF javascript thing, the browser does. It can load PDFs just like it loads an about:// or chrome:// page. Then, using the standards it has already implemented, PDFs will render without further work on the browser maker's part. Also, the PDF then has the security of the browser, which is much, much stronger than any PDF reader on the market.
Websites can use the PDF renderer if they want to show a user a PDF, but not give it to them, but normal websites that just link to PDFs need to do nothing. The browsers need to do almost nothing to support PDF.js. It's a win for everyone.

It's clear that you don't really work with javascript or web technologies much, then, because they don't.
If it's up to the browser, why implement it in javascript at all? Given that javascript implementations differ from browser to browser, you're just adding yet another layer of pointless abstraction. It's easier to just allow the browser to implement PDF rendering the fastest way possible. Chrome's, for instance.
You're using adobe reader (the incorrect way to do it) as an example against browser-based PDF viewers which makes absolutely no sense.

As to the HTC plugin, I assume you mean [this](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2-A4F3uWr0).

What is funny is the fact that Microsoft has played nice with the open source community for a long time now.

True | rizla7 | null | fact is, the problem wasnt that they didnt want a desktop OS, it was that the intel atom was not powerful/efficient enough to run windows on a true tablet, but now with windows ARM support and the new intel chips due out, that problem no longer exists. also, cpus+batteries will only get more efficient over time. in about 5 years they will be about 300% more efficient and it will be overkill for running iOS.
also, touch was problematic on those flip-screen devices. and the early ones were just laptops with a flip-screen, my boss has an HP of the same design and he's not too fond of it either...
seriously, people need to get educated. | null | 0 | 1316094194 | True | 0 | c2k1vcc | t3_kgb4h | null | t1_c2k1vcc | t1_c2k1mxg | null | 1427603248 | -3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Most users of the Internet however, are not like me.
