  3. A less crappy list. by oneiros27 · · Score: 5, Informative · on Most Influential People In Technical Mac Community

    Here's what I know of and/or could find for the ones I didn't.

    Unfortunately, it seems that Slashdot has a limitation on the minimum number of characters per line. So I can't just create a nice, simple list, but instead need a significant amount of text to pad out the list, so that I can make it past the filters being used. But I'm still not there yet... sooner or later I will (20.4 is still too few). I'm probably going to have to type a whole lot of crap in here just to deal with the 25 names that are only a few characters each. (and I tried removing returns from the message, but it didn't seem to help at all)

  5. NetNewsWire, By A Landslide by WCityMike · · Score: 1 · on What is Your Favorite RSS Reader?

    NetNewsWire 2.0 is in the works, and it will have a corresponding Lite version that's freeware. I've been part of the alpha/beta-testing group, and believe you me, it'll blow your socks off. Brent's been working VERY hard on making this a dynamic app. Scan his blog at inessential.com for what he's made public ...

  7. Brent Simmons' Law of CMS URLs by cpeterso · · Score: 4, Insightful · on User-Centered URL Design

    Brent Simmons' Law of CMS URLs:

    The more expensive the Content Management System, the crappier the URLs. Compare, for instance, StoryServer's weird comma-delimited numeric URLs to Radio UserLand's human-readable (and guessable) URLs. Then compare the prices--orders of magnitudes of difference. So, at least in this respect, there's an inverse relationship between price and quality.
