If you question the ads, look at the number of people on this board who admit that they didn't know what it was about before seeing the movie. You can be almost certain they saw the ads before seeing the movie.
In my opinion, a blunder this bad deserves an apology to those who had not seen the movie. And now that I think about this, why doesn't Slashdot have such a place on the fornt page. "Updates" to the front page blur helps somewhat, but not in this case.

A while back I had an idea for Java "applets" via email. Since Java can be sandbox, thus making applets theoretically safe, can't the same be done in a email context? If so, then you can reproduce a majority of exchange server's benefits in Java applets. The biggest problem I see is the size of java.class files over text scripts. But that can be remedy via downloading the classes off the web and only sending the serialized data.

While Verisign may be the first (loudest?) to start this, the fact that they are publicly posting their specs (kinda necessary anyway) means that any domain name registar can also provide this support.

Apple has a LONG history of dominating every single media-portrayed computer. Look in any wide-release movie in the last 10 years that has computers as a central or interesting part of the movie, and I guarantee its a mac.
Okay, so it wasn't the sites. This is really weird. Something aparently saved my IE web cache on July 7th, then yesterday, copied it over my normal cache and set while setting cache settings to never check for new content. Therefore it looked like several web pages (all those contained in my July 7th cache) had rolled back their news stories and such.

Programming languages only use the same "nouns" as natural languages, and some of the same verbs. In English, we share nouns and verbs with other languages, but that doesn't make the languages equivalent.
Linguistics is a lot more than just the vocabulary. Word ordering and phrase ordering make a big part of it. Culturally, there is also issues in precision and granularity (How many names for snow does an eskimo have? Is a notion important enough to have its own word? (something makes me think there is a language that does not have the word "no"; euphemisms are required)).
Hey, if it worked for dumb-ass script kiddies trying to take over Nike's site (see this article), then it is sure to work when no one actually cares about the domain.
One thing that has recently annoyed me is the sites that add javascript to break out of any containing frames. This is another symptom of "must control the client/browser".
Admittedly, there are a few cases where such code makes sense, such as secure web sites; mixing secure and non-secure is a bad idea. But beyond the generally bad UI problems, how do people feel about this type of control?
XML is better than a standard delimited text file for several reasons:
It includes standard markup to reference sub file information that is not line/character dependant through id attributes.
It is character set independent, providing mappings from almost all major character sets to Unicode.
It defines standard ways of spanning documents across files through external entities. This alos allows a degree of reuse.
Internal entities allow blocks of text to be referenced/'instantiated' through the document, not unlike a C #define statement. Good for details tha might change often.
DSSSL and XSLT stylesheets provide a standard means of converting file formats and exposing particular details of the data.
Unfortunately, it fell short of it's biggest potential achievement: to allow the layering of information from multiple sources. While XML Namespace take care of naming conflicts, they provide NO guidelines on how and where to use them. As such, there is no proper way to validate a document under more than one DTD. And because of that, we are now seeing standards that are definitively not validatable under certain DTDs. XML should have stuck with SGML styled architectures, despite how complicated they are to implement.
As for the speed issue, XML should have been written with a parallel binary format in mind.
First: there's not much advantage. The images will still be projected on the retina, which is composed of discrete sensor cells (rod and cones) of a fixed size, which is reasonably well matched to our current vision. I doubt they could consistently squeeze better than 10% sharper vision out of a pair of normal eyeballs.

This guy studied the optics of living human eyes, developed a 'scanner' to detect deformities, and built (as in physically and exisiting) adaptive optics that correct for the deformities that people real people can see through now with considerably greater than 10% improvement.

Berlin 0.2.0 Released
·
· Score: 1
But Berlin looks like a dog. I know that it is version 0.2.0 and very prototypical, but I would prefer them to work on the underlying stuff rather than generating their own widget sets which look really foul and basic. I approve of the other posters idea of porting GTK+ to Berlin just by rewriting the underlying libraries - that would make things look a lot nicer immediately.
And exactly how do you expect us to test out these underlying features, such as events, without some basic widget set?
The WidgetKit, which determines the look and feel of the Berlin Widegets, is completely pluggable. As long as an implementor matches the coresponding IDL, all it good.
I assume the current look and feel is that way because it was easiest.
BTW, we are looking for a vector graphics designer for widget icons and such.
Actually, that would break display client/display server independence; we don't want your email program to kill the display server. So just like X, we have to deal with a display protocol.
The architecture in Berlin is vary efficient in this area. The client describes a branch of a scene graph, and the display server just happily goes off rendering it. Any change outside that scene branch (i.e., window movement) never affect the client process. Events are handled as Contrller nodes in the scene graph, which filter the types of events sent back to the client.
