  1. Re:Adobe Acrobat 4.0 on From Paper To PDF? · · Score: 1
    Or, for the microsoft crowd, if you use Aieeee! (IE, that is) you can save a webpage (Just one) as a .mht file, which I assume is some sort of zip or cab that contains all the files and is readable by IE5.

    Actually I think that is mhtml there - a standard no less; MIME HTML. It's a mime multipart format, where each part has a content id (cid) and the href's point to the parts via the cid: URI scheme.

    ...and they are both integrated into Turbine, which is an excellent Java framework for building web applications produced by the Java Apache Project. I'm bang into its elegant MVC based architecture and rich utility services. If you're looking at building a servlet based application, look at this before you start or you'll end up rewriting half the code that's in there anyway (except not as elegantly :-)

  3. Re:Why do we need this word "meme"? on Censorware and Memetic Warfare · · Score: 1

    The scientific weakness of this study of memes is that there is no rule for why they do or do not spread. Genes and natural selection are two great tastes that go well together, since creatures with bad genes die. But if a person has a really dumb idea and gets killed, (e.g., lies down in the middle of a two-way street) then whether it is imitated or not depends on whether they get on the evening news.

    All you're showing here is that memes and memetic evolution are orthogonal to genes and genetic evolution. It's true though that the mechanism behind memetic selection is not as well defined as that for genetic selection.
