  1. Re:no Palm support on Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2 · · Score: 1

    If I can figure out what the heck a webDAV enabled webserver is, maybe I can drop yahoo...

    You can also use phpiCalendar instead of WebDAV.
    You can seamlessly subscribe/publish to phpiCalendar with Sunbird or Apple's iCal (or keep the seams and use plain FTP).

  2. RCN on AOL/TW Plans for $230 Monthly Cable Bill · · Score: 1

    I'm getting digital cable, phone service,
    and internet service through RCN
    for $130 a month right now. What could
    I possibly get from AT&T that would be would
    be worth the extra $100?

  3. JCreator on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1
    If you are developing on Linux, you should give Netbeans or Forte CE a shot. Both are packed with functionality and are constantly being improved. It Netbeans is too slow for you, then Emacs + JDE is a good choice too.

    If you are on Windows, you should try JCreator. I like it better than every other (graphical) Java IDE that I've tried. It isn't open source, but it is reasonably priced at only $30 or $40. (Note that there is a free version, but it lacks some of the most useful features like code completion and a bean wizard that fills in the setters and getters for you)

  4. On the bright side... on ICANN Selects New Top Level Domains · · Score: 1
    It looks like ICANN was more interested in the intentions and qualifications of the registrars than the actual .names.

    It is a relief to see that some of the winning registrars (.coop for instance) will be enforcing registration requirements. The relaxing of regulations for .com, .net, etc. created the mess that we have now: registering all three to protect your name, registering a .org when you aren't really a not-for-profit, etc... Sorry folks, nobody will get to be the proud owner of "chicken.coop"...

    Take a look at the applications submitted by the winning registrars.

  5. um... on Year 2000 Ig-Nobels Released · · Score: 2
    From the Pawsense (winner of the Ig-Nobel in CS) web page :

    Q. My cat is deaf. Can you help me?
    A. PawSense detects the paws of even deaf cats. Even if a cat is deaf, PawSense blocks cat typing once detected.

  6. Give Pascal a chance on Best Way to Get Kids Started in Programming? · · Score: 1

    I'd have place my vote for Pascal. I learned Pascal in 7th grade and continued programming in Pascal until 9th grade. Of course, way back then (10 years ago :) writing graphical programs by filling arrays, playing with pointers and writing into video memory (we're talking 320x200 here) was both fun and educational. Anyway, I'm sure your kids could find some fun applications for this simple yet elegant language.

    After a couple years of Pascal, I moved up to C++. I had little style sense and little "deep" understanding of the languages, but I picked things up very quickly when I finally got into college and started the CS program.
