In Topic: Internet Explorer 9 and 10 now fully pass Acid3 test!

19 September 2011 - 07:45 AM

Realistically the Acid test isn't good for real world scenarios before. It tests for obscure compliance scenarios that simply do not happen.


Aren't these ACID tests supposed to be just that - 'acid test'? They are not there to test real world scenarios, they are there to see how far has the standards been adhered to.
See it this way - when you attend a general knowledge quiz, say, you should prepare yourself to face obscure questions from around the world, on almost anything. I've never visited the US, but I need to know who the president is, if I want to have a realistic chance of winning the quiz. If you are going to say "no, that doesn't apply to me, he/she isn't my president/premier", well you're right, but then that isn't a "general knowledge" quiz, it might be your country knowledge test. And the people who are so well versed that they know the capital of East Timor (opera :) ) aren't going to be content at that (guess what - they may still beat you even if you localise the quiz)

In Topic: Easypad Notepad with Ribbon UI

@monkeypoo: Could you please share your experience with Fluent Notepad? It didn't quite work out for me and I was hoping I could find out if this is an issue only on my system. (I can't believe villian would endorse it if it gets such basics as load up time, quick experience and window non closure horribly wrong, which is why I am led to believe that this might be a local issue - a software conflict perhaps???)

I don't like metro, good for e-books, but not for screens with 16 million colors.


Looking Nice! Specilly i liked the METRO Styly. Keep up!


How about to learn some grammar before posting?


@Tataarujin : I don't think you can use the to+infinitive form in this case, only gerund form.
"How about learning some grammar before posting?"

Seems yours might need a bit of brushing up as well, huh?

In Topic: The Next-Generation Browser: No URL Bar

I can see uses for this in space constrained display units such as netbooks and perhaps even 7 inch tablets (if with say, chrome OS installed).
How about this idea :
you have a small button at the top left (like opera 11 and firefox 4 but smaller in size) which instead of bringing the menu would instead switch to address bar and extensions for a few seconds (could be made adjustable), and then when the time runs out, it switches back to tabs? :)

(I also had another idea - how about when we are in tabs only view like this, and we take the mouse pointer and left click on the tab - it could hide all the tabs and expand the current tab into address bar. I don't think we can get the extension buttons if this is implemented though)
