Why wouldn't this work. To send cross platform messages, you can just treat the destination like an email addresses.. 1234567@icq to send a message to someone on the ICQ network, and SomeGuy@AIM to send a message to someone on the AIM network. Now each user is unique if you merge the two databases.
you'll probably need some sort of gateway.. but I think some companies are already doing something similar to this (ie everybuddy or something like that).
... bottom of the page Q: Exactly what parts of IES are Open Source? A: Much of the driver level code, API implementations and all kernel code is Open Source. The only exceptions are components of drivers, which must be preserved in a binary library file for security or copy protection integrity and the Xtrema API implementation. Some application components such as the Gecko HTML rendering engine and Necko transport engine are also Open Source. Many application components of the IES, such as the personal video system, will not be Open Source
What about the Lycos MP3 search engine? How is MP3Board different from that... other than the fact that MP3Board tends to return links to mp3s that actually work.
Shouldn't RIAA have filed the lawsuit against Lycos first? The concept is the same, implementation is a bit different. And Lycos had their mp3 search engine installed for a long time... way before Napster.
Of course those pages would be blocked... the experiment was very biased and flawed. When you put together such quotes, taken out of context from the articles (or even the website) they were in, and string them up in such a manner, it really does push the emotional buttons. Hence an easy block.
Take another set of quotes, from the same articles, and you could probably come up with something totally different on a totally different topic.
I mean, politicians do this all the time, they slam each other by quoting each other out of context.
A better experiment would have been to take an entire antigay article (or website), put it on GeoCities, and see if that will get blocked.
If you dont have controlled burns, then all the dead grass/trees/leaves/whatever will just accumulate on the ground and create a nice big fuel rich environment for even bigger wild fires... which is even worse.
There was a story on slashdot a while back... on average, you can go from one web site to any other web site on the Internet in an average of 19 clicks (or something like that).
So pick any two websites, and you should be able to go from one to the other just by clicking links.
It doesn't say when the other guy submitted the story... only when it was posted to the main page. So it's entirely possible that you didn't submit it first....
I dont think he's calling XML proprietary... just that they should also provided a RSS formatted XML backend as well, which is a well established syndication format already used by many sites. Granted it's not hard to translate their XML into RSS...
That shouldn't matter... say I go to JC Penny in Mall A to examine a pair of jeans. Then at a later date, I go to another JC Penny in mall B across town just to buy them. Mall A shouldn't get a cut of the sale that took place in mall B, and vice versa. Now replace mall B with "Internet shopping".
Actually... GoTo.com already does this. You can make bids for a higher placement. It works quite well actually, and their site recieves quite a lot of traffic.
sure.. valid points. My point (sorry if I wasn't too clear) is that there's a central place for end users to easily update their files. It's all point and click. Sure, some of it's implementation might be a bit flaky for now.. but I think it's a good idea and a step in the right direction.
In fact, I believe there have been several pieces of software that does this already.. like Oil Change or something like that. Just because it's from MS doesnt mean it's bad...
Good idea... kinda like the MS Windows Update website. Using IE, you can connect to this site, which will run some ActiveX program, check which MS software needs updating / patching, and let you choose which ones to update. Once you have made your choice, it goes off and does it's thing and installs all the updates you choose. Actually pretty nifty and painless if you've tried it.

If your dreamcast game CD is badly damaged, couldn't you take it back to the store (or sega) and get a 1 for 1 replacement?

hmm... wouldn't that program require a license as well? Since it does deal with the GIF files... tho I could be wrong

try doing that meta-moderation thing then.

here's some stats:

max comments any story ever got was about 1500 or so
actually, I believe the "small GIF formatted graphic using the word 'Go' in a sans serif font" is a trademarked logo, not a patent.
well... the mac only has one button, and you can do a variety of things. like single click, double click, hold a button down...

what you saw was a mirror... not the actual hacked site.
isn't the slashdot software open source as well? I can go grab the code by just clicking on the "code" link in the left column....
There is an online petition being conducted to have the legal action stopped against the don-henley.com site. Please sign it!

This type of system has already been implemented by a company in Canada (http://www.sri.bc.ca/solution.htm). They also provide kiosks as well.

Cool... they changed their name. Anyone know when this happend? I guess adding the keyword "Linux" into their name should help.
argh... i can't get to the site.. I hate it when this happens ;)
