as a web developer who makes heavy use of modern standards, I look forward to seeing IE continue to catch up to Mozilla so that I can worry even less about browser-specific issues.
Ah, yes, the 'Not having to worry about browser-specific issues" notion. You haven't exactly been a web-dev long enough, have you? (:P)
This is _exactly_ what we thought HTML 3.2 would turn out to be....and look at how wel that worked!
And anyway, if it isn't W3C standards, it's resolution, colors (allthough that's fixed now...sortof) etc.
That's right! If you just read the truncated version, the Terrorist will have won! I mean, what about the children? Think about it! All your base are belong to them!!!
all the 'visiual stuf' should be clearly pointing too the content and clearly indicating what type of content.
And even if text is considerd 'less visual' by most people (you know what I mean) it's still dramaticly powerfull and should be used with care, just like images.
It's important as a web-dev too realise that because some devs still have the notion of "text is small so lot's of that, images big so little to none of that" which is completely against all web-design rules. This is not as bad as "I got broadband, so I put lot's of pics on!!11" which some silly people are thinking, even when designing public info sites!
The thing is too look clean and purposefull, just check google.com for an example.
This uses a own network based on the Fasttrack design, and has lot's of nice sharing users on it.
Recomended.

Gnutella2?
·
· Score: 2
You're not seeing the "sharing" aspects. For instance, Gnutella uses HTTP for file transfers, but adds special headers to help assist in the transfer (alternate locations, SHA1 URNs, etc...).
Ah, but OpenFT does that too! HASH search, and HTTP for file transfers, etc. It's just that because of the more stable network (it is based on Fasttrack..) there isn't any need to send all those special headers.
I don't know what a "plugin" can do in giFT, but it would need to do quite a lot to be able to act as a Gnutella server.
The existing "plugin", openFT, can be a Fasttrack-like Index, Search or User node, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Personally, I'm not interested in using a protocol like openFT, because it is a marginal protocol with few users. It does not have the critical mass Gnutella has today.
Ah, but what is the critical mass of Gnutella? Because of the limitations of pureP2P you can only see a small part of the whole network and if you get mixed with good old Morpheus nodes, you ain't gonna see anything in this lifetime!
With openFT (hint, the FT stand for FastTrack, like in KaZaA) the network is far more stable and you can actually see the whole network all the time. And, as of this moment there is a mass of 3.6 TB with 8.2 GB/user ratio. (It has been 5.1 TB, but because of developement it breaks with older versions. (only CVS at the mo)
But to go back to the point, a G2 plugin in giFT would bind both networks together to make Gnutella more stable and give openFT more mass.
It currently only has the OpenFT protocol as plugin, but you're free (or anybody else for that matter) to write a Gnutella2 plugin or whatnot, and it still connects via the same nice GUI of choice!
and I'm afraid that until OO.org has a 100% hit rate on file compatability they won't take the leap.
Ah, but Open Source has all the time in the world, and anyway business (who'll have Office 97/2000 ), don't want to change over right now anyway, so there is more time to get OO.org up to scratch.
Goodbye has an 'e' on the end. Just like Dan Quale's potato;)

Microsoft (MSIE) has just released a beta version of there upcoming Human Resource Management tool, called MS Brainwash 2003. It's said to give offices serious productivity spurs and makes office meetings a breeze. The product is expeced to release around sping 2003.
Nope. If you'd read the article you'd've seen that uptill woody they released every year.
The reasons for Woody taking extra long were: - BIG jump in archs...up to 11, with stuf like X-Windows not actually designed for those archs, but they fixed it! - Security Patch maintainers where up to there neck in work and it was a bottle neck (remember the planned may release? This was why it was prosponed) - They only started fixing the above 2 probs after the freeze so that no new stuf could get in.
But thankfully these issues are resolved now, so Sarge should release (ahem) on time. And anyway the PM (Project Manager) of Sarge wants to have cds of testing too.
Slashdot Mirror
..can use source RPM packages that meet the LSB specs..
Just RPM or also Deb ?
..the ganja, too...
It's jonku....or just weed, gras etc.
No wait, that's the OMFG! one...
AltaVista Renewed?
:(
Eh? As in almost, but not quite slashdotted out of existance?
But anyway, there tech was allready renewed, now it's just the new design, which, as with all proper web-design, is as unspectaculair as google now.
Anyway, I do feel old now....

Why not try giFT with the included openFT plugin.
This uses a own network based on the Fasttrack design, and has lot's of nice sharing users on it.

It's a win-win situation.
Simple.
1. Does it have what I'm looking for.
2. Is it easy to get there.
You want giFT.
It currently only has the OpenFT protocol as plugin, but you're free (or anybody else for that matter) to write a Gnutella2 plugin or whatnot, and it still connects via the same nice GUI of choice!
and I'm afraid that until OO.org has a 100% hit rate on file compatability they won't take the leap.

..they have always a stick behind the door to still screw some of your hard earnd dosh (tm) out of you!
Yes, that right! Just read this:
"It's up to our clients [the cable operators] to decide how they offer our services,"
Translation: we got a stick behind the door.
"It's our hope that our affiliates would use whatever tactics are available to increase their premium penetration."
Translation: We're gonna screw you with it!
Bzzt. Wrong. You're the weakest link, goodby!
Let me correct you're comment:
GWB - We're introducing tariffs on all european products imported into the states!
EU - No you're not, we'll do the same to you, and this'll hit you harder than us Muhahahahaha!
"click" (sound of button being pressed to revoke the certificates of every bit of Fritz Chip managed M$ office software in Europe)
"Ping" (Sound of business not having to buy costly MS updates ever again, and can plan out a nice move to Linux)
You were saying?
Mod this guy up...it halarious!
Not to mention the methane and ammonia gas.
A, but that can be, ahem, fixed. The earth itself didn't always have the correct gasses, but plants came, and filled it with nice O2.
Well, *I* sure as hell don't want a picture of uranus.
*runs too*
What can I say? At least you proved one thesis correct:
truth hurts
1. Kill people for bad jokes
2. Letting them turn you psychotic
3.
4. Pro...
No, I just don't have the heart.
Anyone ever see an OLED, TOLED, SOLED or FOLED display? I am perplexed as to why it isn't starting to take over or get more coverage.
:P for the ;P-Impaired
Maybe because you've been FOOLED!
I just hope hyperthreading is the real deal, not a load of hyperhype.
You just answerd yourself.
Hyperthreading is just for really dealing with the load.
ICANN looks after 3 things:
1) Protocol numbers.
2) IP addresses
3) Domain names.
You forgot the most important thing:
4) Proffit!!!
In a perfect world this actually would be a joke...
What? The French make exelent cars..(Peugeot, Citroen)...
The American cars on the other hand are *completely* hopeless!
Try a Peugeot 206 / 307 and feel how it handels the road. Then you don't even want to go back!
