  1. Re:Community V. Content on Open Source Content Management Discussion? · · Score: 1

    Paul, do you have any real world experience with openCMS? I have looked at it but never gone all the way in installing and testing it. It seems like it is the only other open source CMS that can publish out pages via FTP. Or maybe I reading the features wrong. I have been scared off a bit by my lack of Java skills. Any thoughts, if you have used it?

    Some open source CMSs that focus on content over community:
    Magnolia - just released version 2, Java-based, fantastic content element dialog creation.
    Etomite - I am using this currently for a medium-sized business site. Nice addition of HTMLarea, still missing a few features but has the brightest future of the PHP CMSs.
    Bricolage - the only open-source CMS I have seen that will publish, that is, the CMS server is completely seperate from the web server, which is how it should be. Has great content element modeling so pages can be broken down to individual elements.

  3. Move than just proving water on Stellar Apocalypse Shows Water · · Score: 4

    We're already fully aware of water having either existed on other planets in the past or existing now as in the case of the moons of Jupiter. Life can sustain in wildly different environments, not just temperate grasslands.

  4. Re:price of rent???? on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 1

    Same situation here in NYC. I'm moving in soon and looking at 2 bedrooms right now. Most parts of Manhattan are completely out of the question (~$3000/month). Brooklyn Heights is fantastic and should be about $2200. But I'm very hesitant to pay that kind of money given the current market. I have a friend who was denied an apartment when the landlord found out he worked for a dot-com.

  5. Re:Soft Skills no longer needed on Former Dot-Com Workers Crowd Homeless Shelters · · Score: 2

    This is exactly on the mark. It was these "soft" jobs, such as those in marketing, sales, etc that were vastly overpayed. In addition, all these inflated titles and positions such as "Director of E-Commerce Applications and Business blah blah blah" when in reality they were a 22 year old, recent college graduate with no real experience. Face it, the economy got totally out of hand for a few years. It is SUPPOSED to be hard to get a job right out of college, it isn't normal to walk in to a 50K a year job. Everyone got a huge ego (myself included) when looking for a job a year ago when recruiters were knocking down your door and you felt like a rock star, everyone wanted to talk to you. Now you feel like Vanilla Ice.

  6. Re:Katz Hypocrisy Part II on The Return Of Microsoft: Part Two · · Score: 2

    whoa whoa whoa, there is no difference between the monopoly of Standard Oil and AT&T. Except that Microsoft's is scarier. And the fact that no one seems to give a damn anymore.

  7. Re:Wow, could be neat on New Sony Clie: PalmOS Is Back in Style · · Score: 1

    You can already get "widescreen" MPEG video on the iPAQ - there are several players including Pocket TV (you can view in landscape mode and turn the device sideways) and rumors of work on a divx port to PocketPC. I love the form factor of my Palm Vx, but there is certainly geek lust for the ability to watch a decoded DVD on my PDA on the commute home. Or even better, decode the MPEG on my Tivo and catch up on those Battlebots episodes on the train.

  8. SVG and MathML support??? on Mozilla 0.7 Released · · Score: 1

    Where has the SVG and MathML support that were available in some earlier builds gone? From what I understand, they won't be in the 1.0 release, so maybe they were removed. But it sucks having to use an old build to play with this functionality.
