  1. Is this unique? on Apple Publishes Keynote XML Schema · · Score: 1

    Does a similar scripting application exist for PowerPoint? Sounds like a very promising idea.

  2. Doomed, I'm afraid. on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1

    A great idea, really. not quite treating the problem (stopping the spammers in the first place), but a step better than just treating the symptom (filters, where the emails have to be downloaded anyhow and clog up the network). Not to be an out-and-out wet blanket, but I think the following details aren't going to be worked out. Taken from the article: Furthermore, spammers reside in several different states or overseas, bringing up jurisdiction problems. Nevertheless, Congress has failed to pass any of the 19 national antispam bills introduced since 1999, thanks in part to lobbying efforts of the business community.

  3. Death Knell for the Simpsons? on Simpsons on the Silver Screen · · Score: 1
    I hope this doesn't signal the end of a fantastic cartoon. How many other cartoons have met their demise shortly after a movie?

    Beavis and Butthead

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

    My Little Pony

    Just to name a few...

  4. Don't forget the Hubble on Debug your Code, or Else! · · Score: 1

    Remember when the Hubble first came out and everything was fuzzy? The mirror was ground perfectly -- except they had missed a "sin" term in the curvature equation. Result: the outer edge was mis-ground by 1/80th of an inch.
