I guess FF and Safari might be very similar. Though I have not gone into the details yet.

I think the biggest challenge will be to get the user scripts running. I saw a few greasemonkey clones but did not manage to get them working.
You have, what I would term, a very formal turn of phrase not seen in these isles since the old King passed from this world to the next. martin_hughes on VDK

Not really in terms of their rendering engines. Firefox uses Gecko. Safari uses WebKit, which shares its roots with KHTML. They render HTML and CSS very differently.

Yeah. But like I said, there's not a whole lot of Greasemonkey specific stuff we use. Mostly it's the WHATWG globalStorage working draft spec, JS 1.7 stuff, and all the "Hey, it works in Firefox, so it's okay" CSS and HTML we inject into the page. You fix those, you can have CPhog on Safari. ;)

Is it just me, or does does WCF seem clunky, overly complicated, and clumsy?

Wondering to myself if there is a way for perimeter DMZ web GUI's to talk to web services/databases inside the fire wall. Curious, since WCF seems to rely in part on MSMQ which works only intra-domain and DMZ web servers of course are not part of the inside-the-firewall domain... need to read up some more, thanks for bringing up WCF.

MSMQ is only one of the bindings (a damn handy one granted). Other bindings include peer to peer, pipes, SOAP and so on. Effectively you can think of WCF as following ABC: A = Address - the address of the service you are communicating with B = Binding - the binding for the service (see above) C = Contract - the contract that the service exposes for you to communicate with
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Good to know, thanks.

Nope. I like it - I actually find it a better fit for remoting purposes, please it's relatively easy to secure. The biggest problem is a lack of decent articles on it. I started writing one on using it to communicate with Amazon S3, but packed it in when I was spending more and more time clunking round the Amazon API, rather than demonstrating "cool" ways of doing things in WCF. It may be time to revisit this, especially as Visual Studio 2008 makes creating and consuming WCF apps much easier.

Ah yes. The 50 different references you have to update because you decided that Service1 is a really naff name for a service.
