How many songs would there be for you to copy for free if the artists could get no money? How many books, movies, paintings, etc.? Some people would do it for the love of it, but no one would be able to do it for a living when anyone and everyone was free to copy as they liked. So no one makes money out of open source software then? Better tell Red Hat employees they're out of a job.
This tech is commonly known as "remote scripting".
AJAX is a confusing term since remove scripting doesn't have to use XML (what the X in AJAX stands for surprisingly) infact JSON would be a much better format.
This seems to me to be in direct competition with a number fo XML technologies. By sending XML to the client and getting it to do the leg work (via XSLT, SMIL, SVG, Javascript, etc.) you can keep bandwidth usage down while having all the flashy stuff people seem to be demanding (are they really?) from the web these days. Plus it's XML, so it's easy to work with, fast, easy to pull the data into other applications, and a W3C web standard. Why CURL isn't based on an XML grammar I don't know (perhaps I should read more of their page, but I found it too full of corporate bs for my liking).
"The program is intended to run on a company's network server, and can be accessed by employees via a Web browser, said Richards."
What if the problem is with the users browser?
Also FYI, ELIZA was/is the name of a program created by Joseph Weizenbaum, an MIT artificial intelligence researcher. It analysis what you say and twists it around into a question, and is actually quite convincing for a few minutes.
I think the article was refering to the fact he runs a web site, which (along with the other billions of people who have pages on the web) makes him a "web entrepreneur" (or not).
"Mr. Goyer is no newcomer to the Napster debate. Last year, he and partner John Cormie set up Fairtunes.com, a virtual "tip jar" where Internet users swapping free music on Napster could soothe their conscience by sending cash to artists."
The ability for a user to turn off ads they don't like would be a major step forward in online advertising. Not only do I now have to put up with rubbish 100 frame gifs which eat up my bandwidth and mentally scar me for life, but tracking this info also tells advertising companies that they're ads suck and they need to work harder (or not so hard, in some cases;)
I like the idea of Dogma games, however there is a blatent problem with the guidelines outlined at Gamasutra.
1. The design documents shall contain no reference to any object which is installed inside the outer case of the target machine.
This is a great statement, however the following statement totally goes against the previous.
2. The use of hardware 3D acceleration of any sort is forbidden.
First we are told to ignore the technical hardware a game will run on, and next we are told we cannot use a particular piece of hardware. Surely these two statements conflict, with the second immediately forcing us to think about hardware, which is what we are told not to in the first.
to be honist, i don't want thousands of AOL or MSN users bleeting away on IRC, i'm happy to let them have their pretty pop-up boxes and door bell sound effects while i can just chat to my mates in the "no-fuss" environment which is IRC.
As a HTML programmer, Netscape is a real pain in the ass. If it followed W3Cs standards like Opera does (and IE mostly does) then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I was looking forward to Moz6 and the use of Moz6s rendering engine in Netscape6, but yet again Moz and Netscape have disappointed me. Netscape have killed themselves by producing a 2nd rate product which does not conform, no wonder 95 odd % of web users use IE or an alternative (like Opera).

Control + Tab is the nice easy mouse free way to move between tabs.
Actually the current HTML spec is XHTML 1.0 Revision 2 released last week.

Linux is a clone of a Unix kernel. BSD is a Unix kernel.
When I want to go flying in my Lear Jet, I don't want to have to build it first.
I take it you haven't even bothered asking ICANN for your own geographic TLD ;)

It was a lighthearted joke upon the syntax of the previous item. Take it as such.

If this means we get to replace that annoying women off the AOL TV ads with Bugs Bunny, I'm all for it.
