  1. Re:THX1138 on The Wired Top Twenty Sci-Fi Movies · · Score: 1

    The great thing about THX 1138 was the concept that every task/pursuit had a monetary value associated with it. Top that movie off with Logan's Run's premise where overpopulation has sentenced all humans to death at age 30 and you have the two greatest Science Fiction movies of all time.

  2. InStranet on Content Management Nightmares · · Score: 2, Interesting

    There's a great new product on the market by a company called InStranet (www.instranet.com) that uses an interesting approach to organizing the content; instead of securing the objects in a hierarchical fashion using ACLs, etc., they employ a multi-dimensional framework to organize and secure the content. It uses the same technology as a lot of business intelligence applications on the market and is far more robust than Interwoven or any of the other behemoths on the market. Something to keep in mind is that a lot of products like Interwoven et al. utilize a proprietary repository for storing the information. So, you can only access your content through their application. InStranet uses Oracle or DB2 so you have greater flexibility in customizing your app. Much better choice if you don't want to get locked into one company's app.
