Yes I have issues with it too. But I don't believe in pure mass. Mass without geometry does not exist in our universe. This means that the equation is missing an information constant, I or such.
Sounds like a perfect job for AppleScript. You can create a scriptable folder, drop your documents in it and let it copy and paste all the paragraphs and add some html tags, etc.
Very flexible.
Just wondered how this fits in the evolution vs. creationism vs. intelligent design debate? Seems to me that everytime we invent something from our dreams we creationists. Now put our little creations together into something that is useful and we are intelligent designers, finally, have someone improve on the design and we are evolutionists.
I have been developing a hosted application (Application as a Service) with WebObjects and I must say it has completely spoiled me over all these other technologies. I have been able to rollout release after release of high quality, maintainable, fast and scalable code. I have used quite a few other technologies except for Ruby and.Net, but I really cannot believe that productivity I have had with WebObjects. Plus, its caching has made people comment on "is this really a web application".
It so far has played nicely with other frameworks, like jFreeChart, and I cannot recommend WebObjects enough.
It kind of reminds me of some article I read where a company chose to use LISP. They were able to constantly stay ahead of the competition etc., until Yahoo bought them out. Well, WebObjects has been our secret weapon and we are able to run rings around the competition wih our productivity.

I use Mambo too and just announced a cool new service. It is in beta so please be nice. You can check it out at http://mambomatic.com/. What is does is that it allows you to instantly create a new custom component. The new component has both admin, and user views, sortable lists, etc.
The article talks about dark matter and energy in the same breath as lensing, computer sifting, etc., I don't know if what they are saying can actually then be correct. Especially in light of the fact that we have no clue about dark matter or energy!
Anyway, here is an interesting link about the electric universe which I feel is much more compelling..

Come on.. this is just getting us closer to telepathic communications. Granted it is a trial and error procedure, but, eventually they will hit upon the right frequency, power, etc. to make telepathic communication a reality.
Well, as the developer of a Portfolio Intelligence product I think our solution is perfect. It is simple, flexible, and really has a nice built in methodology to manage the complete lifecylce of requests, pipeline, project, and finally measurement.
It is also a nice inexpensive subscription based system. You can check out the corporate site at: www.3olivesolutions.com

WebObjects is absolutely phenomenal Java Framework. About six months ago I started a new development for a hosted web application. After reviewing our choices and budget we opted for WebObjects.
Wow where we delightfully surprised. WebObjects Rocks! I cannot tell you how much better it was then other application frameworks I have worked in. Now if Apple would do some marketing there, I could maybe find more jobs using my new tool of choice. Go WebObjects.
Just want to put my two cents in here. I am the developer of a product which is a hosted application. Being a bootstrap startup, we had to be careful with our budget. I was already experienced with Java and wanted to continue in that world leveraging my skills. After much review I came upon WebObjects. The price seemed right and I was just getting into my Apple OS X laptop in a big way. Well, I can't tell you how amazingly productive WebObjects turned out to be. And!, I can deploy it on WebSphere or jBoss too!
WebObjects runs the iTunes store so you know it can scale and the price was right too...$699. Finally, I found the community to be extremely helpful.
The final upshot of all this is that I am single handedly the developer and system administrator of a couple of XServes running WebObjects and mySQL currently getting the application IBM certified with DB2 and WebSphere. This with just one code base that detects the database at runtime.
WebObjects is an outstanding product.
I used to be a LAMP developer but now that I have done a very nice hosted application in WebObjects I really don't want to go back to LAMP.
Until you have tried WebObjects you will not understand the beauty and productivity that is WebObjects. And, it is very cheap too! The more I read about how JAVA is trying to fix J2EE etc., with Hibernate, Struts, etc., the more it is trying to be like WebObjects.
Give WebObjects a try and you too will go eureka!
Where are all the new species? We should be finding one at least once a year?!
Where is all the life on other planets? What ???? Evolution doesn't work there because of ?????
Oh yes and all these beautiful planets were created by star dust too! Sure...
Come on people think about it. When did a tiger vs a lion come about? they can't even mate?! What about that?
Anyway, we are closer genetically to a worm than to an ape.
There is no proof from either. One is a tautology and the other is a matter of faith.
Anyway, the bottom line for me is that G-d answers my prayers. Just try it consistently and honestly and you too will see.
And finally, don't you think that maybe what it means to be "created" in G-d's image means that we can "create" too!!!!!
We sure don't evolve these cars... lol...
Mind - the patterns we see
Body - the manifestation of creations
Spirit - G-d's life force for creation
Cash - the transfer of information to those that wish to receive it.

My take is that creationism and evolution need to go hand in hand. Just think about how humans "create".
Someone comes up with a good idea it becomes created! Then, others like it and create something very similar... not exactly the same but very close.. then successive evolutions happen.
Remember it all comes down to :
Mind | Body | Spirit and Cash

Well the powerpoint slide show didn't really inspire me. However, I am just loving the productivity I have achieved using WebObjects, Direct2Web, mySQL, Apache, BBEdit, jFreeChart, Java all running on my powerbook. My rsync deploy scripts make my server updates a piece of cake and my clients.. at least those who don't need ASP.. love my productivity and the robustness of my applications.
Maybe, when hell freezes over, they will be able to tear my 17"Powerbook from my hands... but until then... there is nothing in my book more productive and easier on the eyes than WebObjects.
If the intelligence is already built in, i.e., algorithms are already in place, where is the evolution? These mutations are all previously encoded.. nothing then is random here.
To me, evolution is like the marketplace. Someone *creates* a product from the spirit of their mind. Suddenly, this idea/product stimulates other peoples mind to create a very similar product but of slightly different encodings. Now suddenly we have all these similar but differnt products.
I mean, don't these scientists really see this? Evolution is just a description for a post creation effect. Sheesh.
Let's see, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics was proven mutable, the speed of light is not constant, can't we now just think different?;-)

OK - Forget belief... there is no such thing as mass without geometry. At last I am not aware of such.

It's Great!
Funny, Microsoft's contraption was the flash ad!!! Conspiracy?

I understand this. But let's face the very very obvious. Man creates from his dreams. Period. To me end of story really.
From there an intellectual echo which we all pick up and add to the dream.
Orwell paints a picture and we start realizing that dream. I know horrible... but look around.

Absolutely... there are even connectors for FileMaker. If you are very adventurous you could use Direct2JavaClient!

I don't know about ASP,,, I know about PHP... but WebObjects puts them all to shame!
