Well, Jesux sounded like a fun idea. Implementation as it was described smelled like hoax, but one idea, the biblical quotes in the fortune files sounded like a nice one.
There aren't too much bible quotes in the fortune files (the greatest one having to do with binary communication =), which is a shame since the Bible does have something I would call pure wisdom. (Feel free to disagree. =) Where I'm going to find Eccelesiastes now as a fortune file, mind if I ask? I'm infortunately too lazy to do that myself, and I'm fairly confident someone has done the conversion already...
Goes well with my personal philosophy that simply states that every product of creativity should be called art. And fine programs, or that's how I see it, can be called fine works of art - you need a lot of creativity to write a good program!
...VERY cool thing. VERY VERY cool thing. =) Too bad they didn't released TP 7.0, but I'm not complaining 'cuz I have the original floppies and manuals.
Ah, nostalgy... I learned OOP when I was using TP 7.0, and TP 3.x was the first DOS compiler I have used.
...is that I Love Holy Wars. Holy wars make the life interesting. Sticking to one option is boring, and arguing about what is the best thing for certain use is fun and hopefully rewarding. Holy Wars are what make the life in Linuxland so interesting.
Umm, I think I will not put here the Obligatory War Cry. =)
...one spam someone forwarded to me that advertised "URL Encryption". The addresses were "mathematically encrypted using proprietary extremely complex mathematical formula". Gee, I didn't knew inet_ntoa() and inet_aton() used extremely complex mathematics, let alone proprietary algorithms. =)
...but figuring out the correct complaint address is faster by hand, at least for me. Nothing beats the handcraft these days, when the newbie spam warriors need toys like this.

Looks pretty damn snappy to me. Of course, I use Lynx. =)
Okay, take a look at my front page. Believe it or not, no k00l WYSIWYG stuff was used to create it. Just GNU Emacs (originally) and XEmacs.
BTW, your comment was, as it is said in foreign language, argumentum ad hominem. Lesson learned: Listen to what he's saying, don't look what he has done.
I have been doing web stuff since 1996 or so, so these things aren't too unfamiliar...
I have just found that using raw text editors is NOT bad, NOT hard and NOT even a bad idea. Ever heard of template files? That's what the WYSIWYG programs basically use. With just a nice ^X^I, I drop the HTML template in, write the body, and there's my kewl page. With CSS, I can do the hard visual stuff much easier, and apply it to many pages very easily. Just as easy as opening stuff into the WYSIWYG program and clicking away, even easier in some cases.
And I certainly don't want to write CGI scripts in WYSIWYG drool-proof program - I use a real text editor.
Just to let the people know that XEmacs is the best one if you need to write for Web, no matter if the language is HTML, Perl or Java.
What's wrong with the Professionals? Are they afraid to admit that they won't even want to learn and obey simple languages like HTML and CSS? C'mon, writing standards-compliant HTML is not any harder than writing non-standards-compliant HTML! Why the people get shudders when we say "Standard compliance"? It isn't about inhaling the voluminous W3C HTML standard specifications and then trying to understand the basics, it's about using your brain and doing intelligent site designing, not just stuff that looks kewl on one place but crashes everywhere else.
Well, hope I can get it soon - it looked nice. =) Two megs of source and all, and I have no interest in installing the 3dfx devel things yet - are there any pre-built binaries yet?
The Customers, the gray mass that believes everything MS says, will be fooled, as are those who don't read any news from other sources. MS will fool a few people with that trick, especially, well, MS-drones.

BTW, those slogans at the end of the document can be found from fortune cookie packages. I fell from my chair when I saw them first time.
Oh yeah, and the cookie files also said this:

I wonder how long movies we can NOW put on DVDs. =)
I think Microsoft will never learn.

XEmacs.
Accept no substitute.
(Oh yeah, I am an HTML fascist. So what? you can make übercool pages with XEmacs too.)

Well, could've been better if they had used GNOME, but maybe they didn't think
it was mature enough.
