Whats commonly confused in the community, if there is no client-side xsl transformations using the browser, their is still interface load. This is not a true AJAX imap client, it is an AJA, and the xml is rendered server-side to xhtml standards.
If you are interested in a pure implementation that has been around longer thats true ajax, check out http://www.communik8r.org/
This is a key component to the future of Free Software in any setting. If students and other young people learn of the benefits to using Free Software they might think again what things like the MS EULA hold them for. Knowledge is like a virus, you hit the nest and it just spreads out to ever branch in the world. I will support this as much as I can as a student, and hopefully get friends of mine involved in my local area. We all should do the same, spread the word, Free Software isn't going anywhere but in our education system!
When we talk about the BIOS, we talk about firmware written for a piece of hardware to talk to software. Now OpenFirmware from Sun's labs had caught on, but didn't catch any waves. (IMHO)The pc market doesn't go for something thats going to make us be able to install a new version of our firmware and create adapters that can be easily programmed to interface with the that firmware, a plentiful abstraction layer. Apple, Sun, Compaq, and a few others have implemented it, but they aren't going to package this into a pc motherboard. It's enough to get 20 pcb pc motherboard manufacturers to follow the same chipset. If a company like NVidia or VIA adopt, or even our chip manufactures, bring the idea back to the drawing board, we might have a chance at seeing firmware upgrades in our hardware be able to increase performance out of those old boards. With an open standard, WE, US, The People, will be able to manage, extend, manipulate, integrate the firmware into things it has never been supposed to do before. Honestly, Solid state devices are the future, we're just not there yet, but we will get there. Anyone out there could be breaking out their breadboard right now building an implementation of OpenFirmware or alike. The first step to this must be a partnership formed by hardware and software manufacturers to develop such a standard. I don't think IEEE1275(which was denied) got anywhere because the community wasn't open enough at the time. Now that Free Software has made its dent into the economy, I think its time they jump on the band wagon. Thats my 2cents for today =)
Right now, I'm a freshman at Arizona State University. Number one reason i am going is because instate is cheap. Second is if its a university, it couldn't be as bad as other college's in the state.
Well, its been 3 months, I've learned a ton about college. It's responsibility of learning content yourself. My CSE200 course which is a java language programming course is just a snap. I've been programming for so many years that a traditional class doesn't cut it.
Now, I have brought up numerous subjects of conversation to the students about different programming styles and languages. Frameworks for different developments, Operating Systems etc.
I've met three people who have used suse linux 8.0 in which they "bought". When i first learned of linux, it was way back before the underground hacker/cracker tutorial sites were exposed to the public(sounds corny don't it;) ) and they told me i needed linux to do any real hacking... I was 10 years old shush! So I looked on the net and downloaded and failed to install it heh. Anyways lesson to be told, CS majors aren't prepared for the real world. I'm a CSE major cuz CS is cake because I've already been using many methods of programming in my work. I guess you can say i got the pimples to show it.
> >students are taught *how* to program, not what language they should be programming. your yardstick should be the university's standing and the grade of the student - First Class with Honours *means* they are versatile and skillful - and that's all you should need! >
Hrm, first class? how do you do that when working on REAL projects or working at an internship...grades are a BS Artist's best friend. Real GNU contributors are the true geeks, who donate their time to a "REAL" cause =)
I was recently at H2K2 and heard this forum which right away made me ecstatic(sp?). An issue that was brought up was how this can impact the DMCA, FCC, and the big corps. You guys were saying Sony, and the other conglomerates were forming a committee that would do a digital signature to say what was allowed to be copied, and not through a dual channel checking...My question is what is the status of digital radio and its rights in the present world? To my understanding you can have a very high number of digital channels inside a single band which makes licensed analog frequencies just a waste of money to corporations if they use GNURadio as a means to transmit data long distances. Anyways, looking forward to some feedback and goodwork, I'll be joining this revolution soon, just got the dual server built;)

Been watching it for a while. It has only been getting worse since 10:30 =/
This isn't at all related to whats going on right now is it?

you have to check the mailing lists really, its a slow moving project tho

On the news they changed the fact around, saying Kabul Explosions are not US attacks...
I'm leary of what bush is going to do!
So i heard too, american cruise missiles...
I have a bad thought that this is just the beginning...
