Can out-of-staters contribute,...

Yes. However, I don't have a campaign account set up yet; I can put people on a mailing list for when things get rolling.

Let me tell you, you think your dot-com stories are bad...

For the curious, the tale of the dot-com in question can be found here, including mine and Rob's stories.

For a couple of cool demos of the kind of multilingual Web pages that Ken Whistler is talking about, see the announcement for the Tenth Unicode Conference or "I don't know, I only work here." Both of these pages demonstrate Han unification, in which the same code points tagged as different languages get different visual presentation in a compliant browser.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that. I wouldn't be surprised if the first few minutes of the Soyuz launch was more than 80% of the cost.

If you're going to have recursion, just make sure there is some way to trap stack faults and/or prevent hard drive thrashing... "ERROR--program foo caused a THRASH EXCEPTION in module bar. Please choose one of the following: [abort] [thrash for 30 more seconds] [keep thrashing until the process is killed or terminantes on its own]"

I agree. We had fax machines before the 80s too. In fact, there were cumbersome faxes in the 19th century.

The keyword here is "we". If the "we" is companies and individuals with lots of money and/or very special needs, then "we" had mobile telephony a long time ago.

What you really should have said was "could we have had inexpensive mobile telephony aimed at average consumers in the 1960s". The answer is most likely "no".

Museums. Did you read the article? I wonder how many museums can afford the estimated $2 million + price though. Maybe Bill Gates will buy it and put it in Microsoft's lobby.

Cool.

Does anybody care to pick all the errors out of that guy's reply? With a little luck we can exponentially crapflood the internet with discussions about grammar.

The article begins "One way to learn to deployment Tomcat web applications is to explain fully the steps required to deploy a Tomcat web application manually."

What kind of English is that? I don't usually nitpick over grammar, but when there is stuff like that going on in the first paragraph I have to wonder if the rest is worth reading.

A "quality food product"? Did you type that with a straight face? Quite possibly the only thing funnier than that, associated with SPAM, is this oldy but goody.

Surely a corporation as large as IBM must have a sidewalk they could use for testing purposes. I sure hope they test their software better than they tested the chalk.

A lot of people on /. will probably not understand your post. See http://eastvillage.about.com/citiestowns/midlantic us/eastvillage/cs/basquit/ for some background. I wouldn't have understood it either, except that several years ago a friend invited me to an art house cinema to see the movie.
