I don't know what IBM's WebExplorer looked like, but with Mozilla, you can see your browsing history as a tree, in a sidebar, with the domain name/ IP address has root node , all of that classified as "Today", "Yesterday", "3 days ago", etc.
You do lose the "breadcrumb" feeling of knowing where you've been from where (though it could probably be possible to extract this info from the history data) but you could easyly (sp? I'm french speaking...) retrace something your remember you'd browse some days ago...
[W]atch for a commerical product [...] that emphasizes the Linux kernel without excluding other options.
This line make me think about what Novell promise here. They want to allow you to use their network services product over either Linux or Netware. Which is almost exactly what you describe.
For example, look all the thousands of man years that have gone into creating KDE (for example!). And what have they done? Essentially caught up to Microsoft.
Pardon me, but I beg to differ.
There is so much thing I'm missing from KDE when I'm back at my Win2K box at work... Konqueror (the file manager part, here) is so much featurefull than Explorer, I miss so much the virtual desktop, all the little things and settings that makes it easier to set the environnement work like I want it, etc.
So, I'm sorry, but I thing that there is already a lot of innovation going in KDE, Gnome and Linux (the kernel as much as the userland)
I don't know ML, but as RMS as said here, you should not consider a "scripting language for an application" as a mere toy. Because if it is, it won't be use (or useful)...
That's why I stayed away from the inkjet, bubble-jet and that kind of printers...
I got here at home a LED-based Okidata (ie. simili laser) that cost me only two ink cartridges (at 35 CAN$ each) in more than five years. And it's not because I don't print very often : my girlfriend (well, now my wife..;o) and I did all our university homework on it (and she did after our common under-grad studies a master (with 120 pages these, printed a _lot_ of times...) and 2 more years at school). Based on the quantity of paper bought, that means something around 5000-6000 pages. With _2_ cartridges!
So I consider this printer my best computer buy ever!

Compare to Java, I'm right with you, Perl rocks.
But as the parent post says, the problem is that there is other langages that are filling the same niche as Perl, but with something added on it.
I code perl for a living from 4 years now, but I'm force to admit that the parent post is right : all the Perl coding I still see is "legacy" stuf... All the new stuf I see, and all the "newcomers" in programming I see are all learning PHP, Java...
And, as a Perl programmer, I find delight in the Python code I'm learning now... I would code all my personnal stuf in Python if it was not that I so faster in Perl, because I know it so much now. But things like Jython are so cool that I find myself doing more and more Python.

Well, it looks like this only because TurboLinux does not release their patches as fast as the others... Read more thoroughly the LWN.net research, you'll see that one of the security bug was in all the distros, but TurboLinux was the last to give a patch for it...
Try out MMM (Multiple Major Mode) at http://mmm-mode.sourceforge.net/.
From the page:
" MMM Mode is an emacs add-on package providing a minor mode that allows Multiple Major Modes to coexist in one buffer. It is particularly well-suited to editing embedded code or code that generates other code, such as Mason or Embperl server-side Perl code, or HTML output by CGI scripts. It is written and maintained by Michael Abraham Shulman."
I guess that it's probably possible to find (or hack) something to use it with PHP.
If they come up with a different licensing pricing of that kind, what will happend is that lots and lots of little business that are actually paying (part of full) their license will then switch to the "Home" - and cheap - version, cutting precious profits...
One of the things that made the Apache project successfull is the easy way it can be extended by modules.
Anyone can decide to "scratch is own itch" and write a module, helping by that way to extend what Apache can do. So, this could be considered a "Bazar" kind of developpement...

You are actually reading and contributing to what is the real content of /. : the comments...
What /. make for you in this case is make the whole thing possible : server, bandwith, and mostly, a community of users.
