Is XUL development dead or not necessary anymore?

I'm building a Rich UI web app and looked again at XUL, after not working with it for 3-4 years. Nothing changed, the toolkit looks awful compared to say Gmail. Is plain XHTML, CSS and AJAX all that is required now for rich web UIs? Do you recommend and good tutorials+samples sites about this?
That's right, but all humanity can. The article is right, but the poster put the problem a la slashdot style.
To clarify, we do have global warming due to gases which keep the heat on Earth. This isn't as bad as it should because we also have reduced sun energy reaching Earth, due to air impurities which prevent full water drops to form and fall (clouds are bigger, denser, live longer and they act as a mirror for sunlight). Fact: on 12-13 september 2001, when all flights were grounded in US, the sky was clearer and the temperature rised 1 degree Celsius. With only 1 day of commercial flights off. We are affecting climate severely.
The solution is not only to reduce pollution as in impurities in the air, but also emission gases from factories and cars. If we continue as today, the climate change will be ireversible and catastrofic in 25-30 years. And, due to human nature (better get some more money/confort NOW then in 50 years), it's highly probably that it will happen. So go back to your SUV, I'll go back to my bike and public transport and let us all enjoy life while we still can, each in it's own way.
A bank here in Romania used to require only IE 5.5 or later (website built with SAP Portal).
Starting this year they require IE 5.5 or Netscape or Firefox. Mozilla won't be allowed though (this shows how much they know about browsers... and that it has a plural)
It's quite frustrating when I prepare a lot of Word docs for printing by others
Export to PDF, don't use.doc format. If they need to edit the documents before printing, suggest they install OpenOffice besides MS Office, it will automatically open your files when double clicked and let.docs to MS Office.
For Impress issues, file bugs and request for enhancements for each issue. Include steps to replicate and sample files if needed. This is the least you could do for a free office suite and it's much more efficient than complaining on slashdot.
After using NVidia on Linux, with binary driver installs (which works 95% of the time), and reinstalling after kernel update or new distribution, I gave up.
I switched to intel i845GV and i865GV chipsets. Completly open source drivers, included in distributions, 3D works out-of-the-box. Tuxracer, Enemy Territory, America's Army work great (I haven't tried UT). I love when stuff just works and I don't have to spend time to setup drivers.
I hope more producers will follow and we can finally stop paying for the CD with drivers and software included with hardware products (my motherboard has lots of drivers+norton antivirus, my dvd writer has Nero, I don't need them!)
Why don't you try OOo 2.0 which this article is about before you troll? You would have learned this is much easier.
You can also donate $$$ and asking for a fix of this in the comment field when only ooo 1.x was available. But it's easier to whine. Feel free to buy MS Office and whine to MS, I'm sure they'll listen.
Mondorescue can re-create a system from scratch. To restore you boot from dvd and use text-mode interface in case you don't have mondo already installed. We're using an in-house solution to make a catalog of files backed-up.
Bacula it's the same, but it has a GUI and cataloging. Still testing it.
What impact will have server software translated? I agree on installers, but what it's there to translate on apache, postfix, vsftpd.. besides documentation?
We already have FlightGear, here's an O'Reilly article describing it's development and with screenshots: http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2003/12/ 11/flightgear.html

What Javascript tools do you recommend? (similar to Findbugs for Java) What about ActionScript? Thanks

Batteries will reduce costs even further, igniting the increasing power of explosions, as seen on laptops :)

Isn't this an oxymoron?

With it's 7.x version, Red Hat is offering free of charge SSH, an application which encrypts communication between two computers enhancing security
Debian started to include for free a verifier for weak passwords, integrated with "passwd" command.
Novell/Suse, in order to remain competitive, included a firewall in it's Linux kernel, named iptables. No extra charge.
In a special offer, ending never, Mandrake included free of charge Tripware, which checks integrity of the most important system files.
However, none of Linux distributions include a free Spyware or antivirus. Windows is still ahead.
Postfix or Sendmail? :-)

U have iiyama vision master pro 411. What levels do you use for brightness and constrast?
I keep brightness as 0 and contrast at ~90%, is that good? Or should contranst be lower and brightness higher?
