    Man, all this over one flippant joke....
    Sorry, I didn't realize that was a joke. You see, jokes are supposed to be funny.

  2. ASCII art of all the great paintings. by foniksonik · · Score: 2 · on If You Had Something to Say to Future Generations...?

    I'd send ASCII copies of all the great works of art. both in black and white and in color. What's great about ASCII is it's huge compression rate. You could fit all of them into the space of a good sized/quality jpg file.

    Here's an example:Mona Lisa

    and one in color... html coloring.

  3. flash isn't all bad, it's just certain users by jqubed · · Score: 1 · on Flash and Open Source
    most people, once they discover that basic animations are easy to create in flash, simply use it for that. most people don't look into the more practical applications of flash. with the release of MX, flash included components that could be used for serious application development. flash's ActionScript (which changed only slightly betweend 5 and MX, as well as still currently supporting all older commands) is a surprisingly powerful language very similar to java. MX also has prebuilt components, such as scroll bars and combo boxes. however, most people don't take the time to learn these more powerful uses of flash. flash can be used as a front end for cgi, sql, or xml, and combined with it's own language, i feel in the future we will see flash based apps sprouting up on windows and mac boxes, and if a stable version can be run on linux, we'll see one there too.

    unfortunately, i don't think we'll see the end of cheezey-flashy flash. however, refusing to use flash because of the bad flash content out there is like refusing to use the web because of the bad html out there(like, most geocities pages, or you can look at the crap code FrontPage spits out to see some real garbage). For the most part, we've moved on from telnet and ASCII art (though admitedly there's been some interesting and really good (a little treat for you slightly scary natalie portman fans) ASCII art made over the years). i don't think people who could afford flash and would be good at it should be turned off from it because of the crap some people have made though. it'll only get better as the geeks who can really push it to it's potential do so.
