What's DSV?


DSV: Delimiter Separated values. readelf uses a delimiter matching the regex /\w+/. In AWK, this is $FS by default, so AWK will parse this by default. Or you can pipe

  tr -s [:blank:] 
To cut, which will give you the row you want.


IA?


Internet Archive.


I like http://www.expandrive.com/, but it costs money (50 USD or 75 USD w/ lifetime upgrades).



What book?


Like, playbook of running an abusive relationship. Figure of speech


Please explain why EPS is better.


Most imaging for offset printing is done in PostScript, which can render EPS directly, so there's no format conversion. For web publishing that's not the case, and either is probably fine depending on the workflow.


I've never submitted to a journal that took SVG, nearly everyone I submit to takes EPS.


Reason is quite simple. EPS is based on PostScript. PDF specification contains a subset of PostScript. Embedding EPS into PDF is trivial and yields high quality results. For a printing publication workflow having EPS files at hand saves a lot of time and problems.

SVG is nice too, just needs few more intermediate steps.


Where did you read that?



HP synonyms?


Apparently it's too hard to type "Home Page".


And those "few better solutions" would be?


- XAML

- XUL

- Layout managers like Motif, Swing, Tk, ...

I never had with them half the problems I do have making HTML/CSS work properly across browsers.


Swing didn't have baseline alignment until Java 1.5 iirc, so you couldn't put a label next to a text box without it looking dorky. And the controls felt slightly uncanny on every platform.

No thanks, wouldn't buy again.


Swing is great if one bothers to learn how to use it, instead of relying on the default control behaviours.

What I mean by that, was being aware information like "Filthy Rich Clients" blog, http://filthyrichclients.org/

I have been out of the CSS loop in the last three years.

Can we finally center vertically without lots of tricks in a good way across browsers?

I am not a designer and never managed to control layout in HTML/CSS, as easily as, I do in all the native toolkits I have used thus far.


...well you wouldn't have those problems with XML tags/HTML being used in an app with a framework that uses a custom layout system.


But that isn't the W3C way anymore.

True, the XHTML + XML modules would have brought us there, but another path was chosen.
