Isn't it just like Microsoft...

Don't confuse Win32-OS/2 with Win-OS/2

On: Win32-OS/2 source to be released

Win-OS/2 support, which is probably what you were thinking of when you said "win-support in os/2 featured greatly in os/2's downfall," is based on the Windows 3.1 code -- Win32-OS/2 is based on Windows 95 API's. They're different, and Win32-OS/2 will not allow you to run Windows 3.1 programs.

I think this will probably help us OS/2 users a bit more than the WINE developers, but I do think there will be advantages on both sides of the fence.

Work is getting worse?!?

On: Why Work Sucks

How old is Mr. Katz? Do you KNOW he's a Gen X'er? Do you know the author of this book is a Gen X'er? How many 21 year olds do you know who are millionaires? Do you usually typecast people like that, or were you just cranky this morning.

For the record, I'm 27 and I'll never be a millionaire for as long as I live.

The best TV shows this year

On: Best Movie and TV Show of 1998

Babylon 5 was the best TV show this year. Period. I'm looking forward to Crusade.

I also like Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

The X Files, of course, continues to be a mainstay, esp. with its recent tendency to ruthlessly make fun of itself and all its characters.

I also agree that That 70's Show is brilliant and inspired, esp. for a sit-com.

And finally, while I don't generally like cop shows, Homicide: Life on the Streets is one of the best all-around general dramas on TV.
