Most of the posts so far seem to have missed the point.
This is not a new GUI toolkit. It is a wrapper API for a large number of underlying graphic toolkits. You write code for AnyGUI and don't have to worry what GUI toolkit is used. "On Windows, the Win32 API might be used (or wxWindows); on MacOS, native calls; on BeOS, Bethon; on Linux, TKinter or GTK"
Also, as far as I know this is not an IBM project. The article is just published on an IBM site.
If this works as well as the AnyDBM module which allows basic database access from Python without having to worry about what actual database you are using it will be great.

vi: vi's main problem is that to insert text into the file you're editing, you have to enter "insert mode", and in this mode, the arrow keys (cursor movement) don't work. Worse, hitting an arrow key can put garbage into your file. This is truly brain-dead behavior.
Actually in vim cursor keys do work in insert mode
I've been a moderator at times and I'm in the UK. I think the moderators are selected randomly from slashdot readers with above a minimum amount of page views or something. This seems fair.
Personally, I like the moderation system. Although it's by no means perfect it has improved slashdot and is better than any other system I've seen at other sites.
The main problem I have is messages being moderated down for being off-topic. For instance, this message is off-topic compared to the headline article but is reply to your post and is relevant to that. I often see these type of posts moderated down.
BTW I notice several posts have been moderated up now:-) We're being watched!
The UK has always had a poor record with regard to individual freedom. We do not have a constitution and the Freedom of Information act about to implemented is pretty much a joke.
Unfortunatley, probably because UK governments have historically been fairly careful about wielding their totalitarian powers, there is little concern in the UK about these issues.
As to the quote about lecturing the US on freedom - I didn't know we had been.
I don't think they are going to enforce key escrow. As I understand it the select committee said key escrow was unworkable so it was taken out of the bill.
I understand what you're saying but I think you're jumping the gun. Lets see if there actually is a change in the type of stuff slashdot posts.
There've been a couple of stories lately about IPO's but these have been relavant to the slashdot community ( RedHat, MP3.com ).
Personally I'm quite interested in where compaq are going. Everything where I work is Compaq.

While the total amount of money spent on sport is certainly of the magnitude nned to speed up space research must of this business. It's a commercial enerprise just like T.V. or any other entertainment business.
I doubt the amount spent by Goverment on sport would help much with space reasearch.
Disclaimer: I could be wrong. I live in the UK, maybe the American goverment spends much more on sport funding than we do.

I am currently using a ADSL line supplied by BT in a trail they are running in North London. 2Mbps download and 384(??)Mbps Upload. It works very well although the value added services ( movies etc. ) are a bit of a joke. During the trial it costs £30 per month but one of the questions their market research form asked me was if I would be willing to pay per Meg! The trail is supposed to be ending in September and I'm praying they don't take my line away. I'm not sure I could cope with going back to a modem.
Slashdot may not have covered the T-Shirts but they did have a story about KDE Konqi the dragon as their Logo. I've never noticed any bias in the stories posted about GUIs on Slashdot

Looks to me like there's a pretty complete analysis of the flaws on the CERT page linked to in articlie
I'm sure what you say is correct.
But until a month or two ago ago the Ximian Desktop download page did say Debian Woody download coming soon.
They probably just meant Woody would be released soon.
They've been promising Woody support RSN for a while but the last I heard it probably wouldn't be supported until Woody becomes stable.

Does anyone know of any events like this in the UK?

All the ones I knew have shut down. There may be some out there but I wouldn't rely on them!
