Smart tags is a stupid idea anyway. Someone has to look at ALL the webpages on the web, and include tags to them. No wonder M$ wants to change its licensing scheme---the customer has to pay for this!
How do they connect the building to the blimp? How do they keep the blimp stationary while placing the building on its destined site? And how do they diconnect the building? I can imagine the blimp will go up like a cork once the building is disconnected.
I have a question, maybe you can help me. I still run Xfree86 3.3.6 (or so), and I'm quite happy with it. However, playing movies full screen doesn't work too well. Is X 4.x much faster, so I can really enjoy movies (avi/DivX mostly), or isn't there much difference with 3.3?
This may be one of the reasons they put meoney in Netscape / Mozilla. Lots of computers in China run Linux. Doesn't the Chinese government run Linux only?
Because/. is mentioned in the mainstream media more and more, I'm sure the number of wannane Linux users that read/. is growing fast. This article might help them. However, after reading it I got the feeling that if I were a newbie I would still not know what distro to use. My two cents: go for a distro that someone you know and like uses. Then it's easier for him/her to help you. And take a look at my `Linux for Newbies' text on my website.
I installed Slackware 7.1 a couple of days ago, but Xfree 4.0 is not included in this distro. I also did not find any reference to Xfree 4.0 in info about SW 7.1 on the SW website. I hope Xfree 4.x is included in SW 7.2 when it comes out, though.

Look at it this way: we finally are freed from those annoying pop-up windows!
Philips has a programmable remote control that does that. Very cool, real expensive too!
I really like the `misspelled' section.
Eeuh, what are we going to do tomorrow Bill?
Same as we do every night Steve - Try to take over THE WORLD!!
And who is thinking up all those links? And it has to be content-specific. So it still needs a lot of work.
I disagree. My website is mine and no to be changed by anyone beside me.
I like elvis better :-)

Wow! A handfull of these transistors really is an awful lot of transistors!

What is the difference between this post and that of yesterday?
Exactly. It's more an introduction than an article.
I use aviplay and the Realplayer.

I know I should do that some time but X 3.3.6 is good enough for my needs. I was just surprised that X 4 was mentioned in the article.
A warning for you fungus out there: don't grow in computers! You know what heppened to the Mir! It can happen to you too!

Why is this not moderated `troll', while my comment (#13) is?
If I were Steve Ballmer I would fire the people who put it up there. It's a danger to society in general and Microsoft in particular.
Finally a sensible comment.
I've seen all these structures in porous Si. The resemblance between this material and large structures on land always amazes me.
I meant kiloBYTES, not kiloBITS (kB vs kb)!
I have cable and I usually get around 50kB/s (according to Lynx). Not bad.
