25.01.2006, 19:44 Postel's Law "Be conservative in what you do; be liberal in what you accept from others."  I seem to have it with laws these days. I was reminded of this one in Ed Dumbills post on Firebug (found on lngr) where he maintains, that Browsers follow only half of it. Guess which one. In WiPe Postel's Law is called the Robustness Principle. According to the JP Memorial Site at ISI the law or principle or whatever it is now, it originated in RFC 760 DOD STANDARD INTERNET PROTOCOL RFC 1122 - Requirements for Internet Hosts - Communication Layers and RFC 1958 - Architectural Principles of the Internet treat the Principle in extension. The former contains this: ... host software should be prepared, not just to survive other misbehaving hosts, but also to cooperate to limit the amount of disruption such hosts can cause to the shared communication facility. The latter is said to be the latest RFC formulation of Postel's Law. §3.9 of it gives the following interpretation: Be strict when sending and tolerant when receiving. Implementations must follow specifications precisely when sending to the network, and tolerate faulty input from the network. When in doubt, discard faulty input silently, without returning an error message unless this is required by the specification. Slauti now ventures to put a reformulation of a smart observation by Alan Kay into this pool of robustness: Sharing's important - everybody is a communications junkie - just keep this in mind: Humans have large bandwidth disparity; they take in fast and easily but give out slow and arduously; luckily the bandwidth disparity of our devices is reciprocal to the human one; it's hard for them to take in but they can give out - what they have - very fast and very easily.  In slauti's eyes such combinations make for pretty robust overall systems. |

Die Serie war wirklich toll. Ich hoffe auf Staffel 2 und natürlich darauf, dass auch diese hier gezeigt wird. Ich werde mal in schauen, wenn ich in Israel bin, ob es dort die DvD zu einem erschwinglichen Preis gibt. Außerdem weiß dort vielleicht jemand, ob eine zweite Staffel geplant ist.... by Goldchen (06.07.2008, 19:58) kennste das schon?

Schade, dass heute keine Probe ist. Das geht mir richtig ab.
