"Apache AxKit is an XML Application Server for Apache. It provides on-the-fly conversion from XML to any format, such as HTML, WAP or text using either W3C standard techniques, or flexible custom code. AxKit also uses a built-in Perl interpreter to provide some amazingly powerful techniques for XML transformation."
picture coccoon for perl. using perl for xsp pages and doing pipline transformations on xml. great stuff.
having worked with flash, and asp, and perl, and javascript, and.... as both a designer and a programmer, i have a few things i would like to clear up.
1)Accessibility Most people, have no problem with both a long winding ramp leading into the bank, and a short flight of stairs. You pick the one that best suits you and your needs. If a designer builds his bank with only stairs, yes there is a problem, but choice is good.
2)Flash is a Tool!! Flash is a tool, it is only as useful as it's users. It can be used to create very good, nice, easy to use sites. Unfortunately a lot of people have misused this tool. Doesn't mean that it is an evil tool. (that it is proprietary is a much better reason to say that it is evil)
3)Flash is dynamic! For a while now, flash could make a request to a cgi, or asp page and receive dynamic input! The cgi contacts the database and posts the information back to flash. And, unlike html the flash application does not need to reload. In addition flash can read XML allowing for a non-database dynamic solution that makes use of an open standard. The fact that information can be dynamically loaded (from XML or a database) means that you can set up the plain HTML version and the flash version to make use of the SAME CONTENT!!! Using XML and XSLT and FLASH, it is possible to do a flash version, html version, phone version, low bandwidth sucky browser version, all drawing from the same content. let the user decide how they want to see it.
4)Flash is not HTML Flash is closer to being an application or a java applet than an HTML page. When I play chess using a java app, i don't expect the back button on my browser to undo my last move, don't expect similar functionality from flash. What does need to happen is that the users of the tool should try and make it clear how to navigate within the flash application. A standard way of navigating in a flash application could be helpful, but we don't even have standard ways of changing preferences in programs on our desktop. flash is not a web page, but an application displayed in a web page.
ya... like pieces of paper that says "LEGAL TENDER"... it should all hold no value, no matter what....
get a life. the degree represents something just as a $100 bill does. so if you want more worthless pieces of paper with "LEGAL TENDER" on it, get one that says "DEGREE" on it.
Plus... they only request a total of 20 000 paying users to open their code up... thus making the other 112 500 users, interested in games but not interested in paying for them, happy!
1) it's an alpha of winamp 3, containing a different feature set than the winamp most of you know (and that xmms borrowed the look of)One thing is an extreamly flexible skinning script language, allowing for a custom shaped, custom programmed interface (for the most part, from what I understand).
2) it's an alpha! bitchin'bout it ain't makin' it better! if you want to use winamp in the future, than write the team with constructive notes. yes it's not open source, but it is free. negative shit like some of these postings is not a good way to encourage people to develop for linux.
Some seem to have got the wrong idea. This is a way to add extra information into a printed page. For instance (taken from the pdf above) a physical blueprint could have extra information imbedded in it such as the pluming layout and the wiring information etc. Then when viewed under a Glyph-O-Scope (magic magnifier type device)the chosen extra information would be superimposed (aligned properly of course) and would move with the page.
It is not an encryption scheme. If you want to encrypt, you would do so before you encode.
If you try and add more depth to the encoding by adding colour to the scheme, you destroy the ability to have the message embedded in a full colour image.

Given that they are not copy protecting Harry Potter, this seems to make sense. Better to make a little money selling it.

or "Lind-OS"
however, just because it's a game, tv show, movie, code, or even pigment on canvas, does not automatically make it art. you must EARN the title.
the possiblity exists in all things to be art.
YOUR numbers.
10 Million Users.
1.5 % or 150 000 Users interested in games
25% of that or 37 500 Users willing to pay for it
37 500 Users * $5/month = $187 500/month!
Nothing to sneeze at!
Plus... they only request a total of 20 000 paying users to open their code up... thus making the other 112 500 users, interested in games but not interested in paying for them, happy!

Neat stuff. Check the pdf.
