People, XML is just a syntax. Unless the DTDs and schemas they use for.NET are fully documented, only Microsoft's own.NET-enabled products will be able to anything useful with the data.
I don't know why the XML angle is being pushed so much; this could all be done with any structured data format, be it text or binary.

Do yourself a favor, though, and pretend that the rest of the series doesn't exist. They were tacked on long after the fact and are LAME.
Primarily because Clarke was lumbered with a co-writer. I have read few co-written books that really worked. Good Omens by Pratchett and Gaiman is a notable exception.

This has been around for yonks, for as long as I remember using the GIMP (pre 0.99). It's called Net-Fu. I don't know if it's being maintained anymore. It is in the directory at the GIMP site:
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/net-fu/
Some sites using the GIMP/net-fu as a backend are:

OPEN SOURCE is a distraction. All software should be free. Letting people see your code as long as they don't do anything useful with it is simply teasing.
This is how all issues like this should be posted on Slashdot. A calm reporting of what happened and the response made, instead of kicking off yet another roiling mass of bile and ignorance.
Well, Java is a proprietary and Mozilla is fully open source and Sun is a bit antsy about opensourcing Java. I've heard about some projects to reverse engineer Java, but mozilla is a corp. entity and they tend to get a bit antsy with legal issues...so...:(
Not an issue. Mozilla will (and does on Win32) support OJI, an API for hooking up JVMs; any free (or open source, ick) JVM could be modified to use plug right in. A JVM does not have to have source available for it to use OJI.
In fact, it would be to Sun's advantage for their JVM to support OJI on all platforms, as the presence of Mozilla on those same platform would give it an immediate application.
GNU GCC currently ships with a pretty decent Java compiler, that can be used with libgcj in order to write native apps. I have no idea how complete libgcj currently is.
We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
Not explicitly "software documentation", but the issue that this license is intended to solve is copyleft-style distribution of documentation for free software.
The FSF has evaluated the Open Content License and the Open Publication License and do not recommend either without reservation.
What I meant was that when the shell chdirs into a symlinked directory, it fakes out chdiring via.. to make the link seem real. Witness the behaviour of the GTK+ file dialog for contrast.
A shortcut is not equivalent to a symlink. A symlink is handled by Unix at the OS level, when path traversal is done. Handling of ".." is done by the shell.
In Windows, shortcuts are handled at the shell level, and they interact badly with path-name traversal.
I don't see why the net should be exempt from tax. Just because the medium in which sales are made has changed shouldn't change everything else. Not taxing net sales, will only mean longer, higher taxation on non-net sold goods
This simply does not follow. Do you honestly think that the government is going to say, "Oh good, we have all this tax from Internet sales, let's reduce standard taxes"?
Of course they won't. They will take all you give them, and more. This is another government attempt to yet another bite out of our collective ass. The people must say no, and say it loudly.
The thing that struck me most upon reading this article (last week) is the depth of thought and attention to detail that has gone into mainframe design. A Pentium-II can't even totally virtualize itself without some *serious* trickery.
PCs clearly have a long way to go, as evidenced by that fact that Microsoft's presence in the mainframe market is zero.
All we need are the specs for the codecs so that we can write decent players. After all, what are the odds of Apple picking a toolkit that everyone likes?
Gates often stated that it was not his intention to run Microsoft forever. Ballmer is easily mean enough and nasty enough to bring Microsoft into the twenty-first century.

Slashdot Mirror
2001: A Space Odyssey was written by Clarke alone.
The script for the movie was co-written by Clarke and Kubrick.

Did the person who moderated this up even *look* at where the links point to? This is a -1 at best.
Idiots.

Gimp 1.1 has layers, channels and paths. Are there things you can't do with these in the GIMP that you can in PSP?

Please add a Nanotechnology section so that I don't have to look at this crap.
Thank you.
Would this include using Exchange and Outlook as your corporate electronic mail standard?
Fine, but can you quantify "fucking fast"? Is there some REALISTIC benchmark that compares more than server applet response time?

Linux is free software, not Open Source. Open Source is not a philosphy, it is a business model, and hence uninteresting.
They should have called it Karma.
That argument is a logically fallacious as the arguments put forward by the "anti-pirating" lobby.
Why do you assume that everything that is bought online would be bought locally if it were not possible to buy it online?
