Brain Training, Brain Games And Memory Programs, Brain Fitness - CogniFit How Did We Get Here? You are here: Home Dive Into HTML5 Diving In Recently, I stumbled across a quote from a Mozilla developer about the tension inherent in creating standards: Implementations and specifications have to do a delicate dance together. Keep this quote in the back of your mind, and let me explain how HTML5 came to be. MIME types This book is about HTML5, not previous versions of HTML, and not any version of XHTML. Every time your web browser requests a page, the web server sends “headers” before it sends the actual page markup. Content-Type: text/html “text/html” is called the “content type” or “MIME type” of the page. Of course, reality is more complicated than that. Tuck that under your hat. A long digression into how standards are made Why do we have an <img> element? One of the great things about standards that are developed “out in the open” is that you can go back in time and answer these kinds of questions. (There are a number of typographical errors in the following quotes. Tony continued:
Whats the Difference Between Viruses, Trojans, Worms, and Other Malware? @DarkestRitual: my friend had a MacBook... it was pretty darn good. So he was using it with me and asked me for a good free mac program to do some stuff, so I said he could google it. so he found something over google. So he went on installing it. then after installation, he tried to run the program. Days after, every time he looks at me, he looks in this very angry-ish look. Anyways, long story short, MACs don't get viruses! //end sarcasm @zaghy2zy: Mac's generally speaking don't. With POSIX compliant systems (UNIX, Linux, BSD, et al) it's most likley to be a rootkit than anything else. Also, your friend is an idiot. @DarkestRitual: Exactly, no OS protects you from user stupidity. @zaghy2zy: Macs DONT get viruses.

Introducing Web Sockets: Bringing Sockets to the Web The Problem: Low Latency Client-Server and Server-Client Connections The web has been largely built around the so-called request/response paradigm of HTTP. A client loads up a web page and then nothing happens until the user clicks onto the next page. Around 2005, AJAX started to make the web feel more dynamic. Still, all HTTP communication was steered by the client, which required user interaction or periodic polling to load new data from the server. However, all of these work-arounds share one problem: They carry the overhead of HTTP, which doesn't make them well suited for low latency applications. Introducing WebSocket: Bringing Sockets to the Web The WebSocket specification defines an API establishing "socket" connections between a web browser and a server. Getting Started You open up a WebSocket connection simply by calling the WebSocket constructor: var connection = new WebSocket(' ['soap', 'xmpp']); Notice the ws:. Communicating with the Server
10 Search Terms To Put Wolfram Alpha To Good Use Everyday If you are still drunk on Google and other traditional ways of doing search, take a sober pill and give Wolfram Alpha a look.

After understanding the true power of Wolfram Alpha, you will appreciate it as one of the most powerful search engines out there. But is Wolfram Alpha too daunting for a layman? Looking at all the mathematical equations and statistical graphs that the search tool drums out, it seems so. But even an Average Joe like me can sometimes throw everyday problems at it.
