Before everybody and their mothers starts flaming them because they use XML as their protocol, I would like to point out that they are using WBXML to send their messages.
WBXML is a packed encoding for XML, thus saving space and all those that can be highly compressed. Just have a look at the specs, it's not because it has WAP tagged to it that it's a load of crap.
And then, to those saying that the parser will kill the perfs, I'd like to point out that this protocol doesn't rely on string parsing but _byte_ parsing..

After getting their FTP server rammed in the sockets, I bet the maintainers of ftp.gnu.org will be just more than happy to go through a good ol' slashdotting because someone _has_ to convert urls into hyperlinks for his/. submission.
Or maybe to survey the damage at a post nuclear accident or some kind of toxic gas filled area. Then again you could allways fit it with a laser and paint targets for cruise missiles.
Are you suggesting we should come up with a device that could allow us to fire a cruise missile on a target that survived a friggin' nuclear accident??? Talk about overkill!

Also, the genres of games being made show that it's not just for geeks anymore. A lot more sports games, GTA3, etc.
I don't think I ever met someone who played more Kick-Off than my buddy Yoan and me.
Could not stand any other football game, but still, please, don't ditch every sport-related as being jocks games. Have you ever tried controlling that damn ball in KickOff ? Just playing that game makes you a geek !
Hi,
I am all for html hyperlinks but I think I can find Eweek's website, as well as microsoft's website and its dot net section, especially after three years.
Of course I know, I wouldn't be bothered if I didn't try to read the article. Who reads the articles on slashdot anyways?

To sum up the last few posts: Electronic Voting can't be trusted, NVidia can't be trusted, Microsoft Update can't be trusted... that's enough for one day. I'll go to sleep right now.
Please don't take my previous post as a flame, I completely agree with your point. What I was whining about was the fact that java doesn't play nice with system libs, as it is 'easy' to import other libs, but exporting java classes to other languages is...
Let's say that few people feel like embedding a JVM to their C app:)

Dear ${team_member},
It has recently come to our attention that some corridors have a very strong smell of incense, patchouli and other unidentified substances.
As much as we value the quality of your working environment, we would like to remind you that marijuana is not yet allowed within the united states.
Sincerely,

Am I the only one a bit saddened by the fact that Sun botched it with java that much, that we now exclude java from 'generic implementations'

Then the rendering engine will just get patched as to show the normals of each poly without z-buffer test.
Thus when you see a tight pack of white lines moving, chances are that there's someone coming a round...
Oh wait, this already exists.
