Well if you can figure out how to provide what amounts to a 2GB/sec pipe without some sort of revenue generation then have at it, I'm sure we would all love the service. Registration brings them the combined benefits of targetted advertising and demographics, which happen to be two of the only 4 ways I know of to support a web site right now.
I forget the name, tiny little country. One of my favorite Sci-Fi authors retired there. Ill try to look it up, or maybe someone else will recognize the reference and reply
i have never seen a drive where you HAD to push the button. im sitting in a room with 5 very different computers right now and all of them retract and close when you nudge the caddy. could you provide the make and model of yours? i would be interested in getting my hands on one
my first FP wont even go through, been trying for a coupla minutes, so I guess i make a real post. I think this will turn out to be a decent language, but whether or not it can break java's foothold remains to be seen. didnt we have this story already though? i remember something about it a while ago
why would you need a plugin to disable something that the client cant do? netscape isnt going to have this featuer, neither is opera. its a feature of IE.
Simple answer to all the "problems" with this.
People who dont want to see links to MS sites wont turn the option on. People who want to keep their site "clean" will opt-out (and then people who really want to see the tags will process out that meta tag). You guys DID all read the article right? It will be OFF by default. And other companies can make their own smart-tag add-ons. I look forward to being able to get contextual links to recent slashdot stories (as i am sure that/. or some user will release such an add-on really quick). If no one else writes it then I will, and i really expect to see a generic news site add-on where you download the [damn, i forgot the extension, that standardized file format that all the big news sites store their headlines in. the thing that the slashboxes use to make the little headline indices] of your favorite news site and the add-on generates smart tags for you based on keywords in the file.
Other good uses will be links to NASDAQ quotes, word definitions, and maps. This is all off the top of my head, i am sure that other people will think up much better uses for the software.
And to all you copyright fanatics: once i download your page i can do any damn thing i want to it as long as i dont redistribute it. that includes letting software do stuff to it as well. if i feel like viewing your web site passed through www.pornolize.com then thats my perogative. ditto for running Atomica or QuickClick or anything else like that.

i doubt your [fire|police|school] department is so loosely related to the local government. they are paid for, ruled, and staffed by the government. libraries are usually privately run with a bit of funding help
So theres 4 ways to see a copy of the Building Codes.
1) Buy a copy for way too much from the copyright holders
2) view a copy owned by the local government
3) "steal" a copy distributed "illegally"
4) go ask the government for a copy
now, why has no one tried #4 yet? the text of the law has to be in the public domain records somewhere, and being for non-profit use the Freedom of Information Act provides that "fees shall be limited to reasonable standard charges for document search and duplication". Why pay $750 when you can get it for $10 from the legislature?

actually the freedom of information act limits the fees for access to public records of this sort to "reasonable standard charges for document search and duplication". so, if they want to charge me for the $.001 of electricity their system used to search their database and provide me a copy then i guess thats fair.
ive lived in quite a few parts of the US and except for a bit of financial backing ive never seen a public library significantly related to the local govt.
RTFA. You can go to the library and look up the law for free.
only if the library has bought a copy of the law in question, which most do but some dont, so you cant count on it.

2) figuring out how to change the layout of said task bar. Things like that should not be that difficult.
how to change the layout of the taskbar? haha, how long would it take to figure out in windows (considering that you cant)?

how will they get the DLL? oh, heaven forbid you bother to know the topic. The "DLL" is part of the *ALREADY AVAILABLE* smart tag SDK.
