I just want to add that I think a very good way to start discussions is a poll with some nonsense or over-the-top choices, like we have here on/.. Or post some extreme opinions on your site.
I thought about that too, but what if the material is too slow to keep up? They must have solved this problem otherwise they wouldn't brag about this new material.
I wonder what life will look like on planets that don't have a moon like ours. The moon is very important in keeping the earth's axis ariented in the same position with regard to the sun. Without the moon, earth's axis could tilt so that one of the poles can be positioned towards the sun, thereby illuminating one side of the earth constantly while keeping the other side in the dark. If life can evolve on such a planet I would very much like to see what it looks like.

That's not entirely true. Lectures can be useful in understanding the material, but only if you can discuss the things you don't understand with the professor. I only went to the lectures when I didn't understand the books. Most of the times this helped.
e-Books are one of the last remnants of the Internet hype. People already discovered that you can easily copy the contents of the e-book displayer window. There was a story on/. about a company or a person that wrote a program to automagically copy a whole e-book that way. I can imagine that MS will sue this guy but that will only be one more example of the stupidity of the DMCA.
Exactly! And while doing that they made this really shitty website! It doesn't work in Lynx and also not in Mozilla although I have flash installed. By the way, I'm Dutch too.
Besides, this is about business not politics. And Europe alone is a much bigger market than the US. And then we're not even talking about India. Billy didn't go there for fun.
What I miss in the timeline, and what I find the most striking thing that happened to Linux in the past year is the many stories we heard about gouvernments and also other large organisations migrating to Linux, or researching the merits of a move from Microsoft to Linux. This in relation to (I think) the new MS licenses. I have a feeling 2003 will be a difficult year for MS.

You're right. I tried it with Mozilla and indeed no problems on this (in my opinion) great website. Mozilla just keeps impressing me. Thanks for the tip!
If you'd like to experience what he's talking about, go to www.whatcar.com and look around, there's bound to be one of those lurking there. They are really annoying.
It's not the GUI that must (or must not) be standardized. The only thing that needs to be standardized are the configuration files that are used in the distro. Location as well as makeup. In that way everyone can use their favorite GUI, distro, whatever, while companies can be sure that software developed for one distro had a great chance of working on all distro's.
I find this article a bit low on details. What do they mean by a 'perfect lens'? And why can't we make it? What's so special about the idea of lenses everywhere? I can't imagine that nobody thought that up before. So: what's the point they try to make in this article?
I'm sure they (I mean Sony et al, not just Sony) are working on a system where the consumer has to pay for every time (s)he listens to a CD (s)he purchased, even if it's played in a regular CD-player.

So I buy a CD and I get punished because other people 'steal' music. Way to go!

I bet they say that there will still be sharks waaaaaayy into the future. After all, what would Animal Planet be without sharks?
I guess I have to go see this movie then!

Luckily parts of ancient oceans are dry land now. That makes discovering the fossils of extinct species that much more comfortable.
I never knew there were so many unknown OS's.

I don't know... a touch screen in my pocket, together with the car keys... It must be a tough touch screen to survive that!

Mustn't you supply a copy of the GPL with your sig?

Thanks for the link, it was indeed more informative. If I had mod-points I would mod you up.

That's freedom of speech for you.

Come on, this is Holland! I bet the girls on the campus (there are about 7 of them I think) have had a hard time though... :-)
