"The good news is that our beloved great leader is alive. The bad news is that he lost a leg"
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Iraqi Dicator Saddam Hussein was found arrested in his Tikrit cave this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular repression. Truly an Iraqi icon.
I strongly object to the letters on your thread. They are clearly not written by a Software Engineer and are merely included for a cheap laugh.

To differenciate between binary and unary tags. That's an XML rule.
IANAXA (I am not an XML architect), but I guess it allows to parse a document even if there are unknown tags in it. With the old method, you would raise the nesting level when you encountered a tag, only to lower it when encountering a closing tab. But what if there is no closing tag ? That's what the / tells you.
One thing that has always bothered me about the demo scene, is their lack of openness. It's very hard to come across the source code of a demo, or even just a description of how it was done.
It's frustrating for multiple reasons. First, because it's harder for newbies to learn the art, and second because after some time, demos that were real pieces of art, Second Reality for instance, are pretty much unrunnable on a modern computer. And this is truly sad.
Compere: Well, you can't get much more interesting than that, or can you? With me now is Mr Thomas Walters of West Hartlepool who is totally invisible. Good evening, Mr Walters. (turns to empty chair)
Walters: (off-screen) Over here, Hughie.
Compere turns to find a boringly dressed man sitting by him.
Compere: Mr Walters, are you sure you're invisible?
Walters: Oh yes, most certainly.
Compere: Well, Mr Walters, what's it like being invisible?
Walters: (slowly and boringly) Well, for a start, at the office where I work I can be sitting at my desk all day and the others totally ignore me. At home, even though we are in the same room, my wife does not speak to me for hours, people pass me by in the street without a glance in my direction, and I can walk into a room without...

If the Pentium V suceeds, will intel market its successors as Pentium V pro, Pentium V MMX, Pentium V II, Pentium V !!!, and Pentium V 4 ?

Same as me : that you're too cheap for a .com, or that.com was already taken.
Additionally, Apple Electrics may do that as they wish. As can GNOME Electrics and KDE Power.
That's the right you loose from being a monopoly.
Suppose I am an electricity distributor. I have a monopoly where you live. Should I force you to buy natural gas from me ? No, this is illegal.
That's assuming they will even get 19k votes...
