Standards-Based CSS/XHTML Slide Show

Posted by timothy on from the look-ma-no-powerpoint dept.

sootman writes "Eric Meyer, the man behind the famous Complex Spiral (CSS) Demo page, is at it again. He has created S5, "a slide show format based entirely on XHTML, CSS, and JavaScript." As he says, "With one file, you can run a complete slide show and have a printer-friendly version as well. The markup used for the slides is very simple, highly semantic, and completely accessible." So it can be used for PowerPoint-like work and the show responds to a variety of input--you can go to the next slide by pressing Return, Right, Space, etc. It is being released under a Creative Commons license. So fire up our favorite standards-compliant browser and check it out!"

    Well of COURSE it's redundant - I mean, heck, the SECOND post says exactly the same thing, right??? /. gets worse and worse, and the anti-slashdotters are only making things worse, not better.

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Bush fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of http://www.georgewbush.com (blocked outside of the U.S) for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to explain to me that Bush is doing a great job, the economy is stronger than ever, that he has never made a mistake in judgement, and that America is safer under his fascist rule. 20 minutes. At home, I can see one hundred reasons [thenation.com] why Bush is unfit for duty, which by all standards should be reason for his impeachment. If not worse.

    In addition, during this fear driven propaganda-fest, free speech is confused with anti-Americanism. And everything else that has made the US a great place to live has ground to a halt. Even the ill-conceived 'freedom zones' are getting further and further away from this war-happy candidate as I type this, and that is ignoring the massive vote fraud, and voter intimidation.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while listening to mouth-breathers spouting Republican talking points, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Republican machine that has run faster from the truth, all the while tossing 'loyalty pledges' and cease and desist orders at anyone who may disagree, despite the millions of people who share the need to be rid of this administration. My Tandy 102 with 32k of RAM demonstrates more resolve and better judgment than Bush most times. From a leadership standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that Bush is a superior candidate for president.

    Bush addicts, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to vote for Bush over other more truthful, reasoned, smarter and stable candidates. --

      You are hopelessly socialistic and very antagonistic. It is quite "in" to be anti-American these days and you are on that bandwagon in a big way. It takes free speech to be anti-American so no, I am not confusing the two. You set up numerous straw man arugments and then dare someone to debate with you. If Kerry wins, then you will find Republicans taking the same pot shots at you from afar where it is safe. I suspect you are fairly young from the tone of your post. If you are not fairly young, then you have grown up poorly in wisdom and judgement.

      Yes you are trying to start a holy war.
      And what the hell does this have to do with CSS. You freaking nut case Slashdot created a politics section just for this kind of rant. Go away now.

    Currently (10:26 PM Eastern) Bush has 193 electoral votes to Kerry's 112. I voted for Kerry, but I can't wait to see the bitching and moaning on Slashdot when Bush wins. It's going to be great!
