Why not just stick with PDF for everybody? There are plenty of free (beer/speech) utilites out there to make any document a PDF in Linux, as well as (costly perhaps) Acrobat for Windows. That solves you're common format problem...and you could use any one of the bazillions of version control systems to manage the PDFs.
This leads to stuff like:
byte[] baBuf;
whereas without Hungarian, it might be called:
byte[] message;
which would be much more meaningful.
Or you could do this:
byte[] bamessage;
whereas without Hungarian, it might be called:
byte[} Buf;
which could be much less meaningful.
If you're going to knock on something at least do it correctly. I agree, Hungarian notation can be harder to understand sometimes, but other times, it makes more sense. Plus, it enforces a STANDARD naming system, not just 'This looks good to me' conventions.
BTW: Unix man pages are usually easier to read than windows help for just about anything;)
Isn't that what made Dos and Windows popular to begin with? After all, Bill G and Co. are responisble for 'opening up the hardware' and stuff, back in the day;)
If you can backup the root servers on a "beefy laptop" at a moments notice, then why the worry about a DDoS? Just setup a "beefy laptop" and drive around from 802.11b to 802.11b and host from many networks! Or not.
How will this really be any different than a mega-corp credit buearau like EquiFax? Not only do they have your credit card numbers, but also your SS#, and your financial life history! Granted, there are more than one credit reporting firm....but they aren't really decentralized, are they?
Anybody remeber the Lucky Dragon chain of 24/7 convience stores in Idoru and other Gibson novels? I think this is just one sign of us moving towards the inevitable Mega-Corp world;)
So, is IPv6 done as a international standard yet? I realize it's in a few of the *nixs, but afaik (which may not be much), it isn't being implemented in a large scale way anywhere ('cept maybe Internet2). If it is a done standard, why not? MS is still beta-testing their implementation for Win2k, but why, if it's backwards compatable, isn't it sticking up all over the place yet?

It's called Novell ZENWorks, and believe you me, it can do a whole Boat Load more than what you've let on to.
You can compile most things with a --use-prefix=/path/to/executable , which I believe works with RPM too...I'm not sure about RPM's though.
