I really impresses me how slashdot is able to change at least some parts of the only world. not only with slashdotting other servers;), but although no big know firm is behind slashdot people from the whole IT listen on slashdot, as it's their own voice.
It's no wonder if your page doesn't render correctly. It's not the lack of features or some MS-standard - you just have awfull mistakes.

How shall we tell people, that patents stinks. It seems like they are costing more money than they help to save. Maybe a free institute should be build, which checks if anything is real invention. Most of it just discovery - or maybe everything is just discovery - similar to a turing-machine: everything is a discovery - if something isn't a discovery it couldn't be, thus it couldn't be invented. So to we need patents if nothing is really an invetion?;)
seems like things changed in the last years *g* I've to look at it once again. BTW is there a simple Plug-In (only once) that can be installed as easy as flash. This'd be needed - The same way Flash became that successfull.
IMHO Flash is more than SVG. Flash has many build-in effects, SVG was meant for Vector-Graphics, nothing else... So you could add J(ava)Script to do the things Flash does. But IMO it would be better to keep things going, but changing Flash in an XML-based language. MSIE does it the same way. You may define this special filters via CSS. So why couldn't Flash define some special XML-Tags like <flash:move from="5,3" to="60,30"><span id="mytext">My text</span></flash><flash:wait time="5s"/><flash:rotate id="mytext" angle="30"/> This would be backward compatible. Not implementing this effects in JavaScript would make them much faster and as easy to use as Flash is today.
Or someone might use Mozilla on Windows, someone on X-Windows, someone on MacOS X - now we see what Skins were made for.
Or ever seen Winamp with drop-down Menus (like others Windows-Apps). It would suck - because I want it looking like my "hardware" CD-Player.
..., it wasn't made to hide it. Andy Müller-Maguhn of german ChaosComputerClub said this over a year ago (IIRC "Der PC ist eine Dateverarbeitungsmaschine, keine Datenversteckmaschine")
you could also add more stylesheets. It's pretty amazing what can be done with XHTML and CSS - but MSIE still has no clue about the really good things.

Personally there is one thing at slashcode I don't like - it's written in perl. Don't get me wrong - if someone likes to write perl there's nothing wrong, but I like PHP and for me it's the better language for writting code.
You meant most of the Nuke site's look too similar - there's not so much difference with slashcode sites. Maybe because it's an easy way to design a page that is readable and navigateable.
To customize everything I do something very simple: I read foreign code and look at sites I like (like slashdot) and then I write everything I need from scratch. Of course this needs longer, but many PHP-scripts are written ugly and it's better doing it once again, then fooling around with someones else crap.
But for example Nullsoft (who are making winamp) was told they may do whatever they want. So Justin Frankel (the original author of winamp) wrote a little "winamp-plugin" for AIM, so ads get replaced by some animation. And in the next few hours AOL took down nullsoft.com - So they may to what they want if they obey the rules of AOL.
BTW the some people from Nullsoft get fired from AOL as well. Thats why the many good stories on the winamp-frontpage are now past.
On a personal level I appreciate that this is short and clever:
@P=split//,".URRUU\c8R";@d=split//,"\nrekcah xinU / lreP rehtona tsuJ";sub p{
@p{"r$p","u$p"}=(P,P);pipe"r$p","u$p";++$p;($q*=2) +=$f=!fork;map{$P=$P[$f^ord
($p{$_})&6];$p{$_}=/ ^$P/ix?$P:close$_}keys%p}p;p;p;p;p;map{$p{$_}=~/^[ P.]/&&
close$_}%p;wait until$?;map{/^r/&&}%p;$_=$d[$q];sleep rand(2)if/\S/;print
Why do people love perl? Maybe I'm a fool but I can't unterstand it. I've uses many languages and IMHO the way C does it (syntax) is still one of the easiest (if you mean programming - not Vbasic things;). Perl is very hard to read and I don't think it's the same with writing code in perl.
IMHO php is the best programming language, if you follow some rules.
no I don't think they are really interested in XHTML. Just try the w3c validator. If they really wanted to use XHTML they wouldn't make so many mistakes (I believe they know how XHTML works and so on).
A thing that suprised me... why are they even blocking the w3c validator? Is it bad to know MS don't want to standards?
