I haven't looked in to XML on Perl (although I had a friend write a regexp-based parser of a fairly large XML feed), but I did look passingly at XML in PHP... it seemed like PHP had a fairly decent implementation. I plan to explore the PHP version in the future, but if the need exists, I'm always open to Perl.:)
I've never even looked at Python code, but I hear it has a few... oddities... over other languages. I've never heard anyone say it sucks, though, so that's a plus.:)
I'd buy it ...

... but I thought Perl was a write-only language?
How can I be expected to read the book, if it's just gibberish like Perl? Geez.:)
(Okay, fine - I admit it - I kinda like Perl. But that's another story.)
While I would never use it on my server (I choose YOU, FreeBSD!), Windows XP does have a built-in firewall. I think 2K might, as well, but I'm not sure.
It works well enough to annoy the crap out of me after installing a third-party firewall AND a hardware firewall, and wondering why I can't get a server to work, without realizing that the built-in firewall was enabled...:)
Not to mention that XP seems to have the Guest account disabled (or at least, tells you to disable it) by default, and only lets users with accounts log in... It's my favourite Windows to date! A bit expensive though.
*cough, cough* <slashdot_mode> Windows sucks! Microsoft is horrible! I want to use UNIX and BeOS, dangit! </slashdot_mode>
I'm over 18 and I don't live in America. Hah, in your face!:)
Canada is considering such a limit as well, I think. Not sure what the status of that is. I know some people got, like, carded - just for buying Soldier of Fortune.
To be fair, I have used a newer XWindows than that, when I installed Debian Woody.
It worked fine. I didn't like KDE/GNome (never have), so I installed Fluxbox. That was fun to play with:)
I'll admit that it's come a long ways recently, but... it still has vague little oddities that irk me. Copying and pasting between apps, the way buttons look, how "disconnected" some applications feel from their respective interfaces.
The worst crime ever (and it exists in every OS I've used, to some extent) is a GUI application that wraps a command-line tool. I find such applications to be unbearable, and they are rampant in X-Windows. I don't mind using vi (or webmin:), to edit config files. I don't mind using cdrecord by hand. I don't mind using wget by hand.
I do mind when GUI applications think they can do it for me. Especially when they fail. I think webmin and a few mkisofs wrappers are the only exceptions I've encountered.
The thing I like about Windows XP is that all these GUI tools essentially have all the required code compiled in - no need to call command-line applications. It's cleaner. Less likely to break if someone upgrades the command-line app.:)

That's all fine and good, but I _still_ don't know which motherboards take what RAM ...
See?

You know, I think Slashdot needs to implement a new moderation option.
+1, In Soviet Russia, SLASHDOT MODERATES YOU!
Thoughts?
In Soviet Russia, slackware trolls YOU! (You asked for it!)
In Soviet Norway, Copyright violates YOU!

I guess they don't have double jeopardy
On second thought, I guess an "appeal" doesn't really invoke double jeopardy laws. Ah well. At least it was a good movie.

Can I start up "Slashdot King"?
But the real question is, does Moore's Law apply? :)
No, they need to explore the fine arts of parallel processing. :)
I think it was more accurate the first way. :)
Ludicrous speed?
They've gone PLAID!
I'm just curious if anyone has actually contacted microsoft and ASKED that custom stuff be signed?
Would that even work, for (say) installing Linux to the HD?
I can't believe I had to scroll through half the comments to get to a post like this :)
How many XBoxes would it take to crack the XBox key? :)
I thought the NSA had a backdoor all to their selves? :)

Anyway, those are just some thoughts.
