Sort of off topic, but I once added "autoexec.bat" to the end of said file on a friend of mine's DOS machine. It took him:
15 minutes to figure outhe had to turn the thing off
Another 30 minutes to find a boot floppy
I laughed my arse off watching him and claiming I didn't know what was going on. Granted, this was some years ago. The machine was a Packard Bell 386/40 (he deserved it just for using the thing).
By the time XP is released, IE6 will be included in it.
I've ignored all the Netscape 6 naysayers (because most of them don't understand what NS6 is, and it's relation to Mozilla). I know that Mozilla is a superior product. Netscape only hurt themselves when they released 6.0 as a branch from m18, instead of waiting longer.
I've read reviews of the various IE6 betas written by technically inclined windows programmers (read: non-m$ employees) that say the IE6 betas are worse than NS6, which did have it's problems. This decision may be better in the long run anyway.
I think most people fail to remember what Mozilla is. It is much more than a browser, it's an application platform. Go to mozdev.org for proof of this.
On a related note, I had a geometry teacher in high school that didn't know that +x is right and +y is up in a Cartesian coordinate system. If I remember correctly, the people who "learned" Cartesian geometry from her got it wrong on the test. She wasn't a new teacher either.

WOTC needs to get over themselves. Seriously. Does anyone else remember the press release circa 1995 that said, "We don't want to be the biggest game company in the world."
It also seemed to me that even though the new convention hall is bigger now, the Con itself was smaller than three years ago.

Clearly Mr. Knauss does not understand what the Mozilla project's ultimate goal is: a 100% standards compliant browser.
Sure, XUL allows users to change the icing on the cake, but everything else will be reasonably necessary in the era of embedded applications.
Netscape attempted to create a platform before, but the market, technology, and tools to make such a thing useable didn't exist when Netscape 4.0 was released. Now they do, and Mozilla is in a position to regain its marketshare, integrating everything a web developer could want to use. internet Exploiter continues to evolve never-closer to standards compliance.
He has a brilliant sense of timing, too. M17/NSbeta2 branched last week. I read the status report from July 29...there are hardly any beta2 bugs left.
When Mr Knauss begins using Mozilla 5.0 this fall and realizes all the "cool shit" is worthwhile, I hope he writes a retractment.

Because when Netscape PR1 came out, a small bit of news quietly crept past the media: AOL will implement Netscape 6 across its product line.

This is a tremendous opportunity for OSS developers to prove that we can do things better than the corporate behemoths. With the right spin, IE's market share could be destroyed right now. Most end users associate browsers with HTML first and foremost. Playing up he fact that IE 5.5 still has HTML compliency problems inherited from 4.0 might make the public think a little more about what they use.
My predictions:
M$ will continue to produce "innovations" (read: glitter) for their products.
The anti-trust trial will hit them like a brick due to their arrogance.
IIS, IE, and other M$ web technologies will lose ground on the internet, while maintaining a high intranet market share.
Linux, Netscape, OSS will continue to grow. MacOSX will grab Apple a big chunk. IE on a BSD variant? Vaporware.
Over the next 10 years, the balance of power will gradually change. M$ will be reduced to a floundering shell of itself, too busy supporting old products to develop new ones, or in a position similar to Apple before Steve Jobs came back.

Cell phones
So, if a mentally deficient retired-cop-now-truck-driver happens to be following an elderly taxi diver talking on a cell phone, all traffic in the surrounding 10 state area would simultaneously come to a halt. Any combination of the above would yield the same results.
And remember, cell phones are the root of all road rage.

Metallica has largely blown goats since the black album was misconceived.
The name of the band should be legally changed to Metallica, Inc.
CD's should retail for less than cassettes retailed for (reason: no moving parts, cheaper production method, etc).
Because the average CD retails for ~$15, the difference is pure profit to the record companies, and therefore the music industry deluged itself with junk (korn, limp bizkit, puff daddy, kid rock, et al). The record corporations have so much money, they don't know what to do with it.
Lars and the music industry need to realize that their end is near, and fade away in a matter that leaves the fans with a reason to continue to respect them (Metallica, not necessarily the music industry).

Suck On Skins And UI
·

The review of NS6 at c|net said that the ability to change the chrome will be enabled in the final version (slated for late this year). I too think the default chrome is ugly, but I can deal with it because this is a beta release. I also wish I could find how to get it to start without the sidebar.
As far as learning a new UI...not really. All UI's have gone through some amount of convergence. Because Mozilla's source code is ~95% identical across all platforms, a greater amount of UI convergence is to be expected. As far as I've read about XUL, even the menubar can be changed. This is obviously not intended for browser use, but an allowance for application design in general. If skinners want to abuse this, then don't use their skins.
Frodo was given the ring by his adopted uncle Bilbo, who found it/stole it from Gollum in The Hobbit
The Elves' power was fading by the time LOTR happened. LOTR is the end of the Third Age of Middle Earth. There were no companies of Elven cavalry at this point.
If the Ring had been openly marched to its destruction, Sauron would have noticed and intercepted with about 100x as many orcs as there were in the Ring's entire escort. Secrecy was a major strategy

We, as geeks, have a choice in OS because we have taken the initiative to explore the alternatives.
The malevolent MS monopoly will survive as long as their marketing department can BS the public into thinking a pretty logo means an easy-to-use product. As soon as that fails, a tidal wave of commercial developers will abandon their Windows applications and begin to develop for Linux. Adobe has already begun this process, as has Corel and others.
This is the biggest point of the suit: other OSes cannot gain market share (read: user base) if there are no high demand applications (word processors, spreadsheets, etc.) to use for that OS. Granted WE know about StarOffice and the other apps, but the public doesn't.
People naturally fear what they don't understand: Linux is not understood by the public. You can't sit your grandmother down in front of a kde or gnome desktop and expect her to be able to do everything she does in Windows. Chances are she's never installed any software before, which is why she calls you every weekend to fix her minesweeper shortcut. She's not going to hit an ftp site, download something, and MAKE (or even just rpm -i) it.
The primary purpose of a corporation is to create profit. But you can't create profit without a) a monopoly, or b) corporate structure, policies, and public relationships that make people want to give you their money.
The real milestone that needs to be reached is the post-proprietary age. Open Source will eventually force any company that peddles proprietary anything to alter their business model in order to survive. If MS doesn't do this soon, you might as well dump your stocks right now.

Long ago (circa 1995) WOTC proclaimed a desire to not become "the biggest game company". Six months later they increased the price of m:tg.
This open sourcing of 3rd edition D&D just screams "devious marketing scheme".
TSR was not beaten by CCGs or WOTC or anybody: they beat themselves. They spent most of the 80's and the first half of tyhe 90's producing a lot of junk. They failed to realize that gamers are people of greater than average intelligence...we saw the crap and ignored it. Hence, TSR goes into the red and gets bought by a competitor. The rest of the time they spent pissing off their customers by zealously enforcing their intellectual property.
Most if not all the gamers I know consider the current incarnation of AD&D a joke, something you play when you want to laugh at the game. I think there is no chance in the forseeable future that WOTC/TSR will publish anything that will gain the respect of gamers. The movie is going to royally suck, and they hope to use it as a marketing hook for the new game.
As for the plan, the reason other RPG companies exist is because someone said, "I can do something better than D&D". Hoping to make the D20 system act like the Linux kernel is outright silly. Think about how many similarities there aren't between the two. Stablility? Extensibility? I think not.
D&D third edition will be a bandaged rehash of a game with a pretty face. Sure, it's simplified, but that's not going to make it better.
