  1. Zero Wing by chorder · · Score: 1 · on Narrative, Plot And Aimlessness In Game Design

    Only problem is, the geek world being as incestuous as it is, I'm quite sure a decent percentage of /. read the same Ars article you did.
    CATS: YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY TO DESTRUCTION.
    CAPTAIN: WHAT YOU SAY!!

  2. Discussion by Kwikymart · · Score: 2 · on Copy Protection Galore

    there is already a bit of discussion at arstechnica on the message boards

  3. Windows zealots by operagost · · Score: 1 · on MSNBC Accused of Rigging OS Poll

    Please ... MS doesn't need to send their employees to web sites to rig polls. They have lots of moronic Windows lovers who are happy to do that for them. People thought Mac and OS/2 zealots were bad.

  4. See Multilingual-capable Software Running! by pbryant · · Score: 2 · on On Creating Multilingual Web Sites?

    I've developed software that is to be used with multiple languages.

    You can see the software running at http://beta.infopop.net.

    It uses XSL and XML to render each page. Users are able to upload their own XSL with different languages if they wish. This is the 'template' approach mentioned by many other posters. Contrary to what has been said about XSL performance however, I've found it works well.

    Also, we use a database to store keyed messages in different languages. Each message is requested by key and looked up by the language of the site its being used on.

    The only problem? Getting Oracle to swallow UTF-8 characters. We're having a daemon of a time. If anyone has worked with Oracle, Java and Unicode I'd love to hear from you! peter @ infopop . com
