I never use web based discussion groups. Some like egroups have both so everything shows up in a mailbox as text. Much faster to deal with a list of text based messages than any kind of pick-and-choose web based intermediate thingy.
For sites like slashdot I grab the whole page of comments nested. Even with 4-500 comments to a page this is better than figuring out what I want online

Before porting 50 meg or so of Office Linux needs a GUI that doesn't suck, so why are we listening to this anti-MS FUD?
More Win98 users will be added in China in the next 6 months than all the present desktop Linux users total. Of course someone who thinks installing '98 is difficult is likely emotionally traumatized by the mere thought of anything Micros~1 and likely to sound like an idiot to anyone who can do both.
Lots of comments on why this is hard. clue- it ain't hard. Combination means you're gonna see voice and GUI working together. If a command is fuzzy you'll get a checkbox of possibles where you can X the obvious wrong ones, let the possibles alone, and Check the one you want this time. Iteration is one of those neat things people do when they refine a design. Grandma can do it too. This isn't too hard cause grandma is gonna converge very swiftly on that checkbook. What the academic perfectionists seem to keep missing is that the silly computer has, for a command, about 0.001% of the possible options that the whole language does. If you say, "Gimme Word" its gonna open MS Word cause "What Word do you want, allmighty master" makes a lot less sense in a command line context. So get off it. Shortcuts gone audio will *not* be that hard to parse.
The bully intimidating everyone analogy is poor. This is an invisible minion of the evil sorcerer. The sorcerer has taught his nasty little imps a few spells and sent them out into the silent war. Ah! the joys of malice.
embrace, extend, extinguish How? Perl ain't Kerberos. (how many of you heard of Kerberos before that blew up, raise hands). And micro~1 isn't doing the work. AS is. That's just enough of a difference to make a difference. For Microsoft to screw around in the (AS) core distro they actually need a reason (any reason, some kind of rationale) to 'extend' and I don't really see one. They want a paperclip? use Win32::API; Something else? XS and make a dll. The Extend may, in fact, go in the other direction, hacking the OS to accomodate Perl and minimizing the differences. We know have a fork(). Alarm, anyone? Anybody with a solid idea of how to embrace, extend, extinguish please bring it out. I haven't heard much but flaming vapor.
Lotsa gekkos in Thailand. I was idly tallying them on the ceiling one night and lost count at 30, they kept moving. Even with that many I can remember maybe twice having one fall on me in 4 years. Good score for the cute little critters. this is actually leading up to a funny Heard about that Spanish painter who specializes in Lizards???? El Geko!
Written any assembler? I've regressed to my childhood and tend to look at $_ as the accumulator and hashes as infinite named registers. Course when you do what Larry is talking about it starts to look like line noise but runs like a champ.
Good move too, IMO. Anything proprietory will be in the plug-in, ActiveState will own it and why bother to open source the code? They might open the API so people can add cool stuff but plug-ins to Visual Studio are so abundant (30 or so things in there I have no idea what they do) its evident that rocket science it ain't and I'm not sure why you'd bother. Documentation will be better and newless cluebies won't be posting I clicked on my program but the box closed so fast I donno what happen please help me type questions. Perl doesn't have a GUI, this will do it. I want a menu item to search for modules and there could be an Active Update, heheheehe check ActiveState for new versions of any modules every time I boot up.:-)) Biggest impact may be a large upsurge in background programs on Win32 doing housekeeping, updating personal news pages, instant flame response forms if someone happens to mention Python on slashdot:-)). Stuff like that.
Yeah, that was a very interesting remark. I'm an old C programmer also and can see where he's coming from. When you're coding right in C the useful part of object orientation shows up anyway. Its just the deep structure showing up. Perl makes it very easy to pop something into a module if you want to without enforcing structure like a prothesis, like you're an old man using a walker or something.:-)
Many organizations either cannot or will not endorse the use of unstandardized languages in their business-critical activities. Some need an ISO or ANSI seal of approval on their tools. This is probably mostly CYA but that's life.
is the best thing that could happen to Microsoft. With Win32-API and Win32-GUI both working nicely the OS is much more accessible and programmable. When Microsoft starts shipping Perl as a part of their standard distribution Perl will hit desktops worldwide and its usage will probably increase by an order of magnitude, Win-Win. (Dave Grove may have a heart attack though, Hi Dave!:-))

This is a big deal!:-) Promising an actual living fork() so I can play robot wars in the background without getting too clunky and memory short. New and possibly recursive regex code on which you can coredump but will be very nice for tag matching of all sorts. Sigh, the only immediate problem is can only install on NT. wait till March for '98.

And, they did an upgrade couple months ago. 3 weeks notice. No problems. Fast setup and very responsive. mySQL was up within hours, Bangkok daylight so they have 24/7 tech people.

most of the classic mystics (Buddha, Lao Tse, and so on) denounced rationality when they bothered to mention it at all. Buddha *demanded* analysis. Putting him in the same bucket as Lao Tse suggests you should stick to areas in which you have a clue.

quantum degenerate regime is way cool, I'm sure. Can you maybe add something to illustrate why its way cool?

If they talk about the actual cost then they are into shoplifting territory
You need a lot more to get into felony range which is what they want.
