We hope you have enjoyed the arrival corridor…

The sign went on, but I was laughing too much to read more. I think it was to do with the artwork in the corridor…

On Firefox 2 having built in spelling checking

Tags: , May 16, 2006 (1 comment)

From Slashdot comment #15324679:

I'm sick of saying this: spell checking is the responsibility of the GUI toolkit not the application. Why does every damn application need to implement its own spell checker? Why does no-one other than Apple and the KDE team seem to realise that this kind of basic functionality should be available in every text box, anywhere in the GUI (but with the option for developers to disable it for fields at design time).

If Firefox 2 has a built in spell checker then it damn well better have an option to disable it and use the standard MacOS spell-checker (the one I already use for every single other application on my system) instead.

Don't even get me started on web-sites that implement a spell checker...

We need your feeds!

Fwd:

RSS and Atom feeds that aren't either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 have proven difficult to find, so I'm calling out to all of you. If you read or publish feeds that are in a character set other than these two, please post them here in the comments. We've just finished adding iconv support to SimplePie, and want to test that support (it's in the trunk build as of this moment). Any help along these lines would be appreciated.
