    obviously, "standards" are making it impossible to create an unique experience!

  3. Zash

    oh noeeees

  4. fippo

    I do wonder whether he assumes that he app he is using and the app he's giving to me are the same

  5. fippo

    or if they're different and just use a ... NUNDOCUMENTED PROPRIETARY THING instead of a standard to talk with each other

  6. fippo

    because using something document would be bad, that might be called a "standard"

  7. Simon

    Hope he never uses the [standardised] telephone for sales calls.

    what's the "http" thing I've been hearing about?

  9. dwd

    stpeter, Some whack-job out of a Physics lab trying to do protocol design, I hear.

  10. stpeter

    sheesh

  11. dwd

    stpeter, Apparently he decided to use '822 headers for critical machine-machine data.

  12. dwd

    stpeter, Oh, except he mandates ISO-8859-1 instead of ASCII.

  13. Zash

    Dear lord, do they let anyone design protocols now?

  14. fippo

    let's notify the protocol writers guild

  15. ralphm

    on the other hand, stpeter is a philosopher

  16. intosi

    ralphn: that's a good background for a protocol designer ;)

  17. stpeter

    heh

  18. fippo

    watching shadows projected to a cave wall <=> writing a protocol spec ... mh... yeah
