Flash/Silverlight vs Javascript.
by albert kamau 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

Hi Skunks/ettes, Need a bit of advice . My cousin came to me and told me he needed to add a new tool to his arsenal . She was torn between flash/silverlight and javascript. We visited quite a few sites and noted developers could achieve similar experiences that were traditionally done with flash using javascript . Javascript has the additional advantage over flash in terms of accessibility, Search engine friendliness, speed, Cross browser compatibility. The only downside we found with javascript was scripts turned off. A flash banner that would take hours tweening, importing, exporting can be done in minutes with javascripts jquery. The only usage of flash I can see in the near future is making games and an intermediate javascript developer should be able create a decent javascript game Given that, Apple is not longer supporting flash in some of its latest products(iPhone, iPad) and HTML 5 which allows embedding of videos, which was the domain of flash, are the days of flash numbered ?

OT : Unemployment benefits, housing benefits, child benefits and benefits of all kinds
by aki 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

BENEFITS being the keyword here, would anyone have information to how Kenya handles these issues. In many other countries, the govts do this for their citizens, besides the necessary health care and other benefits : - Housing Benefit is to help those who are on a low income or unemployed to pay their rent - Unemployment benefits are payments made by the state or other authorized bodies to unemployed people. It may be based on a compulsory para-governmental insurance system. Depending on the jurisdiction and the status of the person, those sums may be meager, covering only basic needs (thus a form of basic welfare), or may compensate the lost pay somewhat proportionally to the previous earned salary. They often are part of a larger social security scheme. - Child benefit Kenya income tax collection is used to do what? Me thots..
