I'm actually going to step up and defend Microsoft here.

Since Microsoft do take longer to release security fixes for IE, I think they shouldn't release information about the security holes in IE.

*) You can't do anything about the security hole, in most cases, so you do not benefit from knowing that it's there.
*) Malicious people gain knowledge about how to exploit the browser if the developers release information about the security hole.

With that in mind, would you rather Microsoft kept a lid on it and then later on down the line released a patch that removed the exploit, or would you have them release the information about the security hole and leave end users more exposed for a long period of time?

The Firefox devs can release information about security holes, as security fixes are only days away.

We sort of forgot to update...

My bad.

The good thing about esperanto is that it's created from scratch. Any language that starts off as something else, such as making a slight adjustment to the english language, will inherit all of the problems that the language in question has.

And james, I don't feel disadvantaged next to you. The only thing that people really get stumped on is cultural differences. If I start talking about swedish celebrities, politicians and TV-shows you'll be sitting there wondering what the heck I'm on about. And if you start talking about australian (you said you were from Australia, right?) celebrities and politicians, I'm equally stumped.

It doesn't matter if we're discussing said items in english, swedish or esperanto, we still won't know what the other one is on about

Hehe, I don't know about you but I equate "widespread" with how many that speak it
If a language has five people speaking it in Australia and five people speaking it in Canada doesn't mean it's widespread, eventhough there are people on both sides of the globe speaking it

With "hats", do you mean the ^-character? As far as I know it's an ASCII standard character and it can be represented using ASCII (latin alphabet), so that fits the bill of being standard.

I'm not arguing against esperanto, I'm arguing against non-ASCII/latin alphabets such as the cyrillic alphabet being used for international domain names. How in the heck are the rest of us supposed to enter them? And I know that, like someone said in the thread, there are programs that convert from one alphabet to another, but is that really a solution to it?

I don't have to speak a language to be able to enter an URL in it, as long as it uses the ASCII/latin alphabet.

When is 'j' ever pronounced like 'y' by the way? I've never encountered that, sounds weird

Also, esperanto will most likely develop regional dialects when it's usage reaches the levels that english has reached. Regional dialects are not a function of the language used, but by the mentality of people. And I don't think you will change that any time soon

I'm guessing you'd get more e-mails if you told people what the MOD is...

Låter som en bra idé.
Man kanske skulle ha någon slags utgångspunkt.
Typ, databaslistningen, d.v.s "Här är tabellerna och kolumnerna i databasen, och detta är vad de har hand om".
Den borde bli en relativt fast punkt i tillvaron.
Sen kan man börja se till de olika delarnas interaktion med databasen.
