XHTML is not really replacing HTML. Maybe at a few standards-conscious sites. The vast majority of the web is still HTML. It will stay like that for a long time.

1. RSS has already hit critical mass. Mass media sites like the new york times, reuter's, etc all support it. These companies are not quick to change.
2. Atom vs RSS cannot be seen as an evolution, since atom is not backward compatible. If it had been then it would have been the clear successor to RSS. This was a huge mistake of atom's creators. It should have been backwards compatible.
3. Sorry dude, but gopher never hit critical mass.
4. I don't know the details of IPX. I assume that it was a propriety protocol? RSS is documented and easy to implement. Those are features that are hard to beat.
I'd be happy to make a friendly bet about the most common syndication format in 5 or ten years. My money is on RSS.

Ha! You do not know much about history if you think that atom will replace RSS. Once a protocol hits critical mass it is almost impossible to replace it, even if the substitutes are technically better.
RSS has hit critical mass. It will be around for a long, long time yet.
You fools. The solution to the rubik's cube is clearly a nation security issue. If that information fell into the wrong hands who knows what bad things could happen.
It's time for all Americans to band together and burn all the rubik's cubes. Destroy any written solutions you may have. If you know the solution then you should forget it, or at least kill yourself.
This was pretty surprising news to me. I guess the US election really is a race to the center as many have been saying. Kerry wants to be gun-totin and Bush wants to be gay-friendly.
If I was in the US I would seriously consider voting for that Badnarik guy. It seems as if he is by far the smartest voice out there.
When putty goes out over the web, if an attacker can find it then they can press a piece of newsprint against it. Putty will come away from this with some arbitrary instructions left inside. Scary.
The solution is to always keep your putty inside it's protective egg when in unknown territory.
The Association of Shareware Professions has loads of good info in and around its website. There are member-only newsgroups that are also very useful. It costs $100/year to be a member, but if you are planning to make a business out of it it is well worth it.
I never learned how to touch type. I tried running through some Mavis Beacon teaches typing kind of programs, but they never stuck. I still type using around 3-6 fingers, and must be looking at the keyboard. Playing a MUD for a while gave my the ability to hammer stuff out pretty fast though. I am now a programmer by trade.
So has not been able to touch-type harmed me? Not a great deal. But I still wish that my school had offered a typing course. As productive as I am, I am sure I would be more so if I had really learned how to type.
PS: I like to give 'Not being able to touch type' as my biggest weakness in job interviews.
The board game Risk has survived in both original and computerized forms. It's still as much fun as it was back in the day (assuming you have some good people to play with). Of course, I am a little biased, I like Risk so much that I created a videogame version of it. See my sig for details.

And with such a great business model you can be sure that it will last for a long time.

So does this mean there's no help for the huge online sock emporium I am currently running?
Uh, how bad does a film have to be before Ed Wood won't release it?
Wow, what a great piece of games news. I can't wait to play...
Finally the giant space odyssey baby has been discovered!
Wow, using the internet to sell directly to customers. How did they ever think of that???

Is there a correct answer? I see it in print 1000 times more often then use it verbally, so I don't have a good base to judge from.

Heeheehee. Just imagine how funny a list of all the things that outsold the xbox in Japan would be:

- lots of other brands of computers
- iPods
- Aibos
- vibrators
- etc. feel free to add more...

Why should your body rest itself when it hasn't been worked? At the very least you can run around the block once or twice an hour before your bedtime.
