... is a left-wing, anti-American online magazine which derives its current popularity from being one of the main hubs for German 9/11 conspiracy-theorists (i.e. they more or less maintain that the U.S. government at least knew what was coming). See
In an ongoing effort to keep the FreeBSD core of OS X open source, Apple has updated Darwin to 6.7 and 6.8, which corresponds to the OS X 10.2.7 and 10.2.8 updates, respectively.
So, when they don't update it, it would become closed somehow? I don't get it.
The final ASCII version is also produced by hand. After two rounds of proofing, the text gets into a queue. From that queue, a 'post-processor' checks it out and reformats it according to the Gutenberg guidelines, along with any error corrections that might still be necessary. Then she or he uploads the final version to Project Gutenberg, where the 'whitewashers' check the text yet again before posting it to the archive.
About the XML: You are in fact welcome to produce an XML version, I believe some fellows at DP indeed do that already. However, the main version is the simple text version, since you can read that with everything. But nothing keeps you from also posting an XML or PDF or TeX or whatever version.

Yeah, because _every_ Mac user is going to stop using MSIE right away from this day on.
For heaven's sake, guys, there's still a considerable portion of people who use Netscape 4.x - after *five* years.
This move by MS, which is consistent with their previous announcement to stop doing MSIE as a standalone app, will *not* change the current browser situation in any perceivable way.
"I also don't want to have to work my way through every line of code before I install."
Hum, so you ask us, who you don't know, which developers, who - in most cases - you nor we know either -, to trust? Maybe you are an NSA agent in search of backdoor-free distributions? Why should we trust you, sir?
Seriously, short of a full code audit, you can never be sure. Security is a process, and not something you can install. I thought that was commonplace around here.
I mean, Goth is something that sprung up long after July 1983, right?
Wrong.
The godfathers of goth-rock were British post-punkers Joy Division, whose bleak, remote, obsessively introspective music and lyrics laid the initial foundation for goth. But for all intents and purposes, the true birth of goth rock was "Bela Lugosi's Dead," the 1979 debut single by Bauhaus. Already chilly post-punk outfits like the Cure and Siouxsie & the Banshees became full-on goth bands around the same time, and their heavy, menacing makeup and dark clothes became an important part of their fans' expression.
An argument that improperly assumes as true the very point the speaker is trying to argue for is said in formal logic to "beg the question." Here is an example of a question-begging argument: "This painting is trash because it is obviously worthless." The speaker is simply asserting the worthlessness of the work, not presenting any evidence to demonstrate that this is in fact the case. Since we never use "begs" with this odd meaning ("to improperly take for granted") in any other phrase, many people mistakenly suppose the phrase implies something quite different: that the argument demands that a question about it be asked--raises the question. If you're not comfortable with formal terms of logic, it's best to stay away from this phrase, or risk embarrassing yourself."
Out of interest, how many people use this as a HTML editor, if so why, or why not?
Quoth the changelog:
Access keys for activating menu entries (Alt + a letter) are now available on Windows versions.[...]
Amaya now allows to create/change a link without using the mouse. [...]
Support of attribute align="left" and align="right"
Amaya is _so_ far behind the curve, it isn't even funny anymore.
Give me htp and a good text editor and I got you a complete website sooner than you figure out how to handle Amaya's incredibly cumbersome interface.
With the advent of structured markup from the XML family, graphical HTML editors seem to become superfluous - you put a logical structure into the text and have it presentated by another file, the style sheet. There's no reason why that should require any form of WYSIWYG editing, especially since all the WYSIWYG editors I know suck at handling style sheets, let alone creating them properly. They are handy when prototyping, but after that, a script can do the same job in one tenth of a time.
Me thinks it's time to set-up www.troll-diary.org and let these reviews be posted alongside the usual ill-thought-out "Linux won't succeed until..." and "distro x isn't as good as BeOS because...". It'll save me checking them out at least:)
Dude, we've got that already. And that *plus* a dominatrix style webmistress who doesn't know the language she's writing in. You can't top that.
Talking about destroying semantic value... Do you know that this probably is the most annoying error for non-native speakers of English?
There's more than a mile between a new subject / verb and a possessive pronoun.

"A big change in Longhorn will be the new Windows Future Storage (WinFS) file system,"
'Windows Future Storage file system' has got to be the silliest FS name I've heard so far.
It's a file system - from the FUTURE! (props to Lowtax).
Wow. Let's see ...
- It's 'dilemma' (spelling).
- The plural would be 'dilemmas' (grammar).
- A dilemma is a usually undesirable or unpleasant choice, where both (di) choices are equally undesireable (strictly speaking) (sense).

Uh, what language is that supposed to be?

I know, I know, telling a /. editor how to use his language properly is futile ...
All of them MSIE addons and - with the exception of NetCaptor - avialable for free. Oh, and you get tabbed browsing and a load of other features, too.

There's no such thing as "X Windows". I mean, come on, if I were to call your software 'Dut', you'd complain, tooHAND
