  6. Mysteriously Two Years Old on How Google Will Have Achieved The Semantic Web · · Score: 1

    The article in question is dated Friday, July 26, 2002. It's not only from the future, it's from the past!

  7. Team Interview on DragonFlyBSD 1.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Here's a nice, in depth interview at ONLamp with the core developer team from just last week. Covers a lot of ground, I found it very informative.

  13. Re:Sony Connect Reviewed on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Pardon me, here's a different link, the Google News workaround link. Don't be shy about looking it up yourself next time -- comes in handy if you're actually interested in the content.

    On the other hand, if your objective is to rail against evil site registration then I can see how you couldn't be bothered.

  14. Sony Connect Reviewed on Sony Connect To Hook Up With PlayStation Portable? · · Score: 4, Informative

    David Pogue at NY Times trashes Sony's Connect service.

  15. Star Wars in a Nutshell on Star Wars Episode 3 Release Date Announced · · Score: 1

    Basic summary of a Star Wars movie

    1. R2D2 will use at least one new accessory, to the delight of the audience;
    2. R2D2 will be seen in the background either ascending or descending a set of stairs; this will largely go unnoticed by the audience;
    3. One of the characters will fall into a very deep hole/shaft.

    Note that Episode II violated item number three, but this was largely offset by Ms Portman's presence.

  16. Re:"Progress"? on Can Your ATM Play Beethoven? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Darn, sure wish my ATM gave me "cash, and viola," then we could play Beethoven together.

    Thanks for posting that code. It's yummy. I'm going to use it for my Desktop Wallpaper.

  18. Conclusion/Highlights on Exegesis 7 Released (Perl 6 Text Formatting) · · Score: 2, Informative
    Form follows format. From the end of this Exegis, some hightlights:
    "Report generation was one of Perl's original raisons d'etre. Over the years we've found out what format does well, and where its limitations lurk. The new Perl 6 form function aims to preserve format's simple approach to report generation and build on its strengths by adding:
    • independence from the I/O system;
    • run-time specifiable format strings;
    • a wider range of useful field types, including fully justified, verbatim, and overflow fields;
    • the ability to define new field types;
    • sophisticated formatting of numeric/currency data;
    • declarative, imperative, distributive, and extensible field widths;
    • more flexible control of headers, footers, and page layout;
    • control over line-breaking, whitespace squeezing, and filling of empty fields; and
    • support for creating plaintext lists, tables, and graphs.

    And because it's now part of a module, rather than a core component, form will be able to evolve more easily to meet the needs of its community. For example, we are currently investigating how we might add facilities for specifying numerical bullets, for formatting text using variable-width fonts, and for outputting HTML instead of plaintext."

  24. Snacks Anyone? on India Plans Hypersonic Space Plane by 2007 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Cat got your tongue? (something important seems to be missing from your comment ... like the body or the subject!)

    Snacks -- it's the snacks what are missing.

    Metamoderating with benign indifference and a dash of randomness since 1812.
