Gravity Mouse- April 11, 2008 Christopher, my 13 year old, has been playing with Flash for quite a while and has produced his first game: Gravity Mouse. It&039;s a really neat concept and has already gotten 28 reviews and received a score of 2.895.0 on Newgrounds. I&039;m really proud of him. Of course, this is what he was doing when he should have been working on his C++ homework, but I think I&039;ll cut him some slack in this case.http://bitworking.org/news/319/Gravity-Mouse Bringing SVG and MathML to the mountainHHHHHHHH web- April 7, 2008 I&039;m not following HTML5, so this was pleasantly surprising news: The last few weeks there has substantive discussion on the HTML WG mailing list (public-html) and the Math WG public dicussion mailing list (www-math) regarding embedding non-HTML languages in the texthtml serialization of HTML focusing mostly on MathML and SVG. It will be nice when the majority of the web has access to both SVG and MathML.http://bitworking.org/news/318/Bringing-SVG-and-MathML-to-the-mountain-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-H-web Revisionist XHistory- April 6, 2008 Brian Redfern Just look at the Css Zen Garden website to see a great demo of the power of xhtml at work.

Well, those concerns end today as we are giving a no-charge, royalty-free license to any patents we have that you would need to implement Atom, AtomPub, or any of those extensions.http://bitworking.org/news/315/Google-Data-APIs-Patent-License A million little lines- April 1, 2008 Cliff Click, chief JVM architect at Azul Systems as quoted in InfoWorld: As your program grows in size, the lack of strong typing basically kills your ability to handle a very large program and so you don&039;t find the million-line Perl program That line in particular has elicited some reactions, including this from chromatic: Second, the reason that there arent many million-line Perl programs is that the people who are capable of writing and managing million-line Perl programs have better...http://bitworking.org/news/314/A-million-little-lines |
