As a very early adopter of PWM (cos I fell in love with tabbing at the window level), I can tell you that PWM was the first with tabs. (I have april2001 screenshots of PWM!)
PWM was abandoned as a development dead end (in favour of ION by the same author) before fluxbox forked off blackbox and added tabs. It was too blackbox like for my style, so I stayed with PWM.
PekWM I eventually switched to for improved tabbed goodness, and these days run GNOME. But I do miss windowmanager level tabs.
they're still around, but as the net moves away from the developer/geek crowd and towards more mainstream market penetration (the tipover point on that could be said to be any time between about 1997 and 2003 I think), then the developer-focused RFCs are more rarely seen or cared about. The leading edge of popular focus internet growth is web2.0, facebook, "the cloud", etc. These are not low-level standards which grow from RFCs.
But do they still exist? Sure, they were published at a rate of one every 3 days in January 2009... (based on an eyeball count of 10 at the end of http://www.ietf.org/iesg/1rfc_index.txt)
Anyone got a graph of RFCs per month? How about RFCs that are adopted into STD, shown over time? Anyone want to do some datamining?
The Naming of Hosts is a difficult matter,
It isn't just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a host must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there's the name that the users use daily,
Such as venus, athena, and cisco, and ames,
Such as titan or sirius, hobbes or europa--
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the web pages, some for the flames:
Such as mercury, phoenix, orion, and charon--
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a host needs a name that's particular,
A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can it keep its home page perpendicular,
And spread out its data, send pages world wide?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Like lothlorien, pothole, or kobyashi-maru,
Such as pearly-gates.vatican, or else diplomatic-
Names that never belong to more than one host.
But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover--
But THE NAMESERVER KNOWS, and will us'ually confess.
When you notice a client in rapt meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
The code is engaged in a deep consultation
On the address, the address, the address of its name:
It's ineffable,
effable,
Effanineffable,
Deep and inscrutable,
singular
Name.
Go read http://www.douglasadams.com/movie/ again, this time paying special attention to the Frequently Questioned Answers. Note especially the preceeding bits which FAIL to mention Nighy, since he has NOT been confirmed. Rumoured? Yes. Probably very likely too. But no contract has been signed, so he can't be said to be truly confirmed.
Official Movie Website (current) > Random BBC article (a month old)
Note that Nighy is NOT confirmed for Slarti. Note that Warwick as the body of Marvin means nothing about his voice. And Moore has NOT been cast as the voice. Mos Def is the most controversial choice, but let's not write him off as Ford just cos nobody expected a black guy in the role before.
They sue the users who can't afford legal costs and will settle just for the sake of avoiding legal hell, and SCO gets a nice precedent running and their stock improves yet further.

The patent was granted in 1997... (April1 in fact).
The TiVo came out... when? (I honestly don't know? But I doubt it's development started before 1997)
Of course, who is to say what patents the TiVo uses...
Not to mention that prior art is only an issue if the patent is challenged with it. You can have all the prior art in the world, and the patent will stand if it's not used.
OPINION:
I bet they'd love to get their hands on these logs/cache/whatever... if what people choose to listen to doesn't count as subjective, I dunno what does!
Draw your own conclusions. I am merely presenting facts and opinions.
Lets see if I can get sued for having a discussion shall we? Are they going to sue someone for talking about a "...For Dummies" book in a meeting because the titles then showed up in the minutes, later posted online?
I think not.
Sounds like someone in the legalese department hasn't made the mental leap between a discussion and a publication, as it applies to mailing lists and their web archives.
Has anyone come up with any linux/open-source solutions to making your palm a wireless terminal within your own home?
I don't care about the commercial wireless net access through the PalmVII, but I would be VERY interested in having the PalmVII act even as a vt100 terminal over the wireless. 20metre range would be perfect for in-house:)
I guess what's needed is the frequencies the PalmVII talk on (and can possibly talk on), and appropriate software at each end... anyone have info on this kidna stuff?

yes.
