Review Of 3D Web Browsers
shelflife points to this very intersting article on the 3D Web browsers in Scientific American. He writes that of the 3D systems mentioned, "A Swiss company, Geonova (www.geonova.ch), seems to demonstrate best that the idea of a geography-based Web is feasible with today's PCs. Engineers there created two impressively detailed models of Switzerland--one of the entire nation with 25-meter resolution and another of two central cantons at 50-centimeter resolution. .. Text and iconic labels hovered quite legibly above towns, lakes, companies and tourist attractions; clicking on the labels opened associated Web pages. What other 3D browsers are there -- VRML plugins have been around a while -- yet they do not seem to be successful. Why is that?"
3D web was a big deal at Siggraph this year. Just goes to show that Adobe owns the web... I have to wonder what Macromedia will come out with that is comparable to Atmosphere. Has anyone tried out the beta version of this?

Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered troll community when last month IDC confirmed that "*BSD is dying" trolls accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all Slashdot posts. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that "*BSD is dying" trolls have lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. "*BSD is dying" trolls are collapsing in complete disarray, as further exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive trolling test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict the future of "*BSD is dying" trolls. The hand writing is on the wall: "*BSD is dying" trolls face a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for "*BSD is dying" trolls because "*BSD is dying" trolls are dying. Things are looking very bad for "*BSD is dying" trolls. As many of us are already aware, "*BSD is dying" trolls continue to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Troll leader Anonymous Coward states that there are 7000 goatse.cx trolls. How many ascii art trolls are there? Let's see. The number of goatse.cx versus ascii art posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 ascii art trolls. "*BSD is dying" posts on Slashdot are about half of the volume of ascii art posts. Therefore there are about 700 "*BSD is dying" trolls. A recent article put "first post" at about 80 percent of the troll market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 "first post" trolls. This is consistent with the number of first posts.
All major surveys show that "*BSD is dying" trolls have steadily declined in market share. "*BSD is dying" is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If "*BSD is dying" trolls are to survive at all it will be among troll hobbyist dabblers. "*BSD is dying" continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, "*BSD is dying" is dead.
I propose that we all take turns sucking each other's dicks. Who shall support me?
