There used to be a program called hotmole that did that very thing, but the webpage is gone now. I emailed Hugo Rabson, the developer of hotmole, and he told me that considering how often Microsoft changes hotmail's format, it was just too much to try to keep rewriting hotmole to fit every new change. It's too bad because it really came in handy, but then again I completely see his point, I'm sure Microsoft wouldn't blink twice before changing specs again just so hotmole or any program like it, would break.
They had a broadcast about this on NPR this last weekend. Seems as though most of the people in France take all their vacations during the month of August, so that everything sort of stands still for a month until everyone gets back from Normandy or other popular vacation spots. The few who opt to take their vacation some other time end up at the office by themselves. Seems like a pretty interesting concept, of course it would never go over in the US.
From what I've seen of Delphi, it looks nice, a couple of developers up here swear by it. I guess I'm just not a fan of Object Pascal. I would rather see something like C++ Builder. But then again, that was what the poll was for eh?

From the looks of it I would guess it's one or two people. The derogatory comments are about the same for each flame. Since each thread talking about it gets flamed, they must have to reload their screen each time they make a comment. Looks like they just want to start a flame war on this thread, either that or to get all the moderation points wasted.
Pay a little more attention to the person's Subject line "First ON-TOPIC post". As in, he was commenting on the many off-topic comments that had been posted before his, and since, his comment was actually about the article, it was the first _on-topic_ post. Man the ACs are getting a little outta control on this thread.
I'm just getting tired of all these commercials for ABC programs where they take advantage of the Blair Witch Project hype, especially the one scene with the actor right in front of the camera breathing heavily. Not to mention other movie trailers now that do the exact same thing, then they end up posting the name of the movie/tv show, on a black background with one of the little stick figures changed slighty so they won't get sued. I mean come on, why do major entertainment companies, with millions to spend on advertising development, have to steal a few kids' ideas?
I downloaded life for my palm pilot a few weeks ago, and have been doing similar experiements, man those crazy digital bugs, sometimes they look like a glider and go right across the screen, other times they look like a snowflake, then they just spin over and over. I wish I would have known; I could receive grant money for this.
It seems that all this really shows is the result of intelligent design in the "bugs", and programming them beforehand with an idea of the rules of their environment. The Morris Worm competed with other programs for processor time too. I guess I just don't see the novelty in this article.
I'd like to see a robot with two arms or something having stripped wires on the end. Then connect the wires to enough 9 volts so that when they come in contact with the other robot, it'd just fry it's board.

The libretto isn't a CE device though, it actually runs linux. I personally love my Libretto 50CT though, the battery runs down too quickly though, and since it doesn't boot up as quickly as a palm device, I ended up getting a palm pilot for phone numbers and such.
Well, there's the first inhabitant of the U.S. Y2K bunker. Personally I'm more concerned about logic bombs kiddies have set for 1-1-00. Not to mention all the webservers that will be down from kiddie attacks. Oh and I guess that a few non-webservers will crash too (If crackers still know how to get into those).
Yeah, back when we had water gun wars I had always wanted to get one of those 2 gallon crop sprayers you pump up. It would have been cool since you could just put it on the ground and spray around with the wand it was connected to in any direction.
Either that or a regular water hose, and make sure to walk out in a wife-beater T-shirt, when you spray them, and mumble things about "whipper-snappers".
I dunno, sounds pretty big to me, that's why I like my libretto, (although crunching my fingers on the keyboard took awhile to get used to) its really a computer you can take around with you. This 16" screen sounds like about 4 of my screens. It would be nice, but not if you like carrying a linux box in a CD player case.

I wonder if you can overclock the computer considering it's already cool from being on the fridge.
(I hope no one makes a comment about that clustering technique we all know and love)

then they decided to post something stupid as an AC, and mod themselves up. Is this what we get to look forward to now?

The cat would probably respond like all the other cats who are outsmarted by mice on TV.

I think all the highway cameras are put there by Fox for the "World's Wildest police videos".

Use a banner filter, I don't load a page without one.

Considering the percentages of *nixen out there, I feel pretty safe.

So "secure" isn't enough of a verb?
I'll let them secure my server I suppose, just not "proofreadify" my term papers.
I guess people only favor government regulation when it involves Microsoft.

I'm thinking that Katz is going to cash in on all this evolution/creationism hype.
