One other problem would be choosing your favorite links from Google. If everybody goes that way, the top results for a keyword would continuously gain more links pointing towards them, and they strengthen their place in Google.
MPEG-4 standard, as defined by the ISO, is already based on Quicktime format. Don't be fooled just because Microsoft and DivX has created their own proprietary formats before the standards has been put down.

True Hungarian Notation is exactly about layers of abstraction. Hungarian Notation tells you exactly that it's a pointer to a DEVICE and nothing else. Read Charles Simoni's paper about it
FYI, this paper is from MSDN online library. Also, Charles Simonyi was chief architect at Microsoft at the time he created the Hungarian notation (early 80s?).
I fully agree about the ones who designed the Windows API notation, though.
Go Daddy charges 8.95/year too... They also have a discount if you pay for 2 years or more in advance.

Java IDEs?

It depends on your purpose. Java is not good to make an IDE because of the Swing library, but it may be (and actually is) good for the server applications.
New.net already charges you for such inaccessible-in-general domains. The only difference is that they have some relations with major ISPs who change their DNS to resolve such addresses too.
NewOS is NOT a desktop replacement, Windows killer, or even useful. It may later grow into something that someone may use to get things done, but it probably
wont.
Well, it can be a weapon selectively killing people. Anybody remembers Arthur C. Clarke's Rama series? The spiders (octopods?) used a genetic weapon which kills only older people (over 40) to beat the humans while not causing a genocide. When they are objectioned because of ethics, their response was something like "every kind of war is unethical, but once you are forced to war, the method does not matter".
Last year we were using a commercial content management software called Eprise, and with the latest version they switched from using IE-only IFRAMES/Javascript to a 3rd party product called Ektron eWebEdit...
This is a multi-platform, customizable, programmable product. I don't know how much do they charge for it, but it looks like a good product for your purposes.
After learning a few hard lessons, AnandTech moved on to the plaftform that ColdFusion was the most mature on, "NT". AnandTech also switched from Oracle 8i to a SQL7/2000 environment, which greatly improved administration
time. There was no performance drop from Oracle 8 to SQL 7. In fact, in some cases, performance improved.
Moving from Solaris to NT just to overcome some problems with ColdFusion??? Why didn't they just dumped ColdFusion and moved to a better technology like PHP or JSP/Servlets? I know changing the scripting language needs a lot more effort than changing the O/S, but in the long run it pays back...
If you try to compress random data using one generic algorithm, you will sometimes have size savings, and sometimes will end up with a larger file. If you are smart enough to put a "not compressed" flag in your data file when it becomes larger, you can reduce the size on average.
But, if you are free to select your algorithm after seeing the data file, chances are you can always compress the data (although I may not mathematically prove this). Remember the article here on slashdot a few weeks ago where a prime number, when gunzipped, produces the source code for a DVD decoder. Well, you may say that they are not the same because the source code was compressed with gzip beforehand, but please think a different algorithm than gzip (as in mandelbrot fractals) and you *might* end up with an algorithm which compresses some data which is random to you but not-so-random statistically or mathematically.
PI is infinitely random, but can't you compress it in a few lines of code?
Although I should admit that finding the algorithm itself would be mostly by chance.

But some people just can't pick the right keywords to search for.

nForce is a mainboard chipset, not a 3d accelerator.

And I always thought current jet planes were "powered" too... It seems they aren't.
Actually there is a unix-like operating system for C-64 called "Lunix"... That would be
:-)
LOAD "LUNIX",8,1
then
...and later...
I believe the lack of security in Microsoft software was a deliberate business decision.
Now, you don't have to try to look like neutral in order to successfully bash Microsoft...
Also take the IE's HTML extensions out. Take ActiveX out. Take smart tags out. Take autocomplete out...........
If so, will Slashdot pay me 2 cents for every comment I wrote?
Except that Orion is commercial whereas Jakarta is open source with Apache license.
Wasn't it called "table blocking"?
Wow, two rare words in one sentence - and they are actually names of two competing products. I wonder if chromatic is an affiliate of both of them :-)
Yeah, I know the article's a couple of weeks old -- but it's a good one.
From the web site:
NewOS is NOT a desktop replacement, Windows killer, or even useful. It may later grow into something that someone may use to get things done, but it probably wont.
That's enlightening now...

I think it's not a bug but a feature, in order to correctly wrap text.
But you can't, for example, add two "Integer"s using plus operator... You have to convert back to primitive "int" type.
