  1. But wait ... what about NSBios? on V2 OS · · Score: 1
    Anyone remember that? The last ``Fastest Proprietary 80x86 Based Operating System'' featured here on Slashdot was NSBios. At least that one came with source code!

    Although oddly enough, it doesn't seem to be around anymore ... -spc (Why do I even remember this stuff?)

  2. Re:I support PG, but... on Giving Project Gutenberg Recognition · · Score: 1
    While they may not look great as plain ASCII, as long as they're consistant in formatting with ASCII it's relatively easy to break up and reformat for the web.

    Last week I downloaded a version of the King James Bible (bible10.txt---almost a 5M textfile) and because of the consistant formatting, was able to break it up into book, chapter and verse and create an online version that was primarily (for me) an experiment on making a web-friendly version of a hiarchially structured document (Book.chapter:verse etc).

    More, or inconsistent formatting, would have made the job more difficult that it was.
