It's reasonably convincing. I might look at it, but no promises. Not my bag really.

Don't be coy "Ry", you (and your previous identity) have a much-deserved reputation for spamming this group with links to dubious videos (not to mention being completely crackers). I really don't think my response was unreasonable in that context.

Yes, a plain link without *any* description is pretty useless. Jorge, next time could you supply a little context? >> I don't know enough about that subject to offer a review, but would >> love to see one from someone who does.

I would really like to learn more, because, for various reasons, I would love to use JS on the server-side, and not in some Java ghetto as several of the server-side JS solutions seem to prefer. Anyone out there with expertise in web servers and/or server-side JS want to offer analysis of this for us? -- Scott

And 2 months ago, when discussing another of your screwed-up FAQ entries: "FAQ Topic - How can I access the client-side filesystem? ". See: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.javascript/browse_thread/thread/70bad3c72a796504 But, of course: http://google.com/search?q="node.js"+site:jibbering.com sill yields: Your search - "node.js" site:jibbering.com - did not match any documents Because the FAQ is permanently outdated. -- Jorge. |
