• When someone attempts to use one of Chuck Norris’ deprecated methods, they automatically get a roundhouse kick to the face at compile time.
• The java.lang package originally contained a ChuckNorris class, but it punched its way out the package during a design review and roundhouse kicked Bill Joy in the face.

Microsoft fined $1.3 Billion by EU

Talk about a hefty fine. Microsoft has indeed taken it on the chin with this one, with a record fine of $1.3 billion by the European Union for what it considers unfair business practices by the giant software company.

The fine stems from an investigation that claims that Microsoft unfairly charged software competitors for wanting to develop software that was compatible with the Windows OS. Back in March of 2007, the EU disputed that Microsoft fees for sharing information software developers was unfair.

Creating bookmarkable AJAX and Flash sites
Ajax and Flash apps are cool, funny, rich and interactive, but - there’s always a but - they have some usability problems.

First of all, most Flash and Ajax sites disable the browser’s Back button. If you think that the back button isn’t important, think again. According to the W3C, the “back” button is second most used navigation tool, after clicking on hyper links.

Another problem that AJAX and Flash sites share is the inability to be bookmarked. Because the navigation takes place without refreshing the page and the URL doesn’t change, it’s impossible to save the link to certain page in the page for future reference. If you hit CTRL+D in your browser, you’ll see that only the first page is bookmarked and you’ll have to find the information you want in the site, again and again…

jBookmarker is a small Javascript framework developed by Tudor Barbu some time ago that aims to solve those problems.

Why use jBookmarker?

• jBookmarker is open source, you can use it free of charge according to the terms of the MIT license (basically you have to retain my copyright notice)

• jBookmarker was tested in the following browsers: Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror and Safari (the Windows version), but it should work with any browser!
• jBookmarker is very scalable and can be used to manage multiple flash embeds and Ajax requests simultaneously
• It uses a familiar way of storing information (like HTTP GET) and has a very steep learning curve.
• It’s really small. A compressed version of the script is less than 2K in size.
• It’s very unobtrusive. You can easily use jBookmarker with any Javascript framework and/or programming pattern.

More details are available on jBookmarker’s official site.

News Flash::Vista is gone

Oh yeah! Finally! I have removed Windows Vista from my hard drive and guess what?! I don’t even miss its glossy appearance. Its predecessor took its place but I’m not saying that this thing is perfect. It’s actually far from perfect but you know that saying: choose the least of all evils.

Acum câteva minute am avut curiozitatea să văd dacă s-a reparat ceva pe site-urile pe care m-am jucat cu XSS (vezi aici și aici). Uimitor sau nu rezultatele sunt aceleași. Variantele sunt multiple:
