Granted, development was at a snail's pace as interest for it tapered off but E really broke ground on the linux desktop in terms of showing off how different (and excellent) X can look. Sure Afterstep, WindowMaker, etc all co-existed with E, but most if not all of the others were based on TWM. Enlightenment offered total customization, resulting in window manager eyecandy that was really unprecedented at the time. Over the years, how many people have been turned onto Linux from seeing a tricked-out E desktop? I'd say a lot.
As a GUI junky I'm glad to hear about this update from rasterman, and even happier that slashdot reported it. Everyday I mouse around my KDE desktop I miss my tear-off/pinnable menus and wait for the day E will shine once again. Looks like that day might not be too far off.
The new motorola pda/calculator/cellphone/wap-enabled wristable also works as a high frequency contraceptive offering coverage up to 100 meters (UK) away.
...plus an extra $2 million so his family can relocate to Britain. What a great deal!
Step 1: Train in the desert for 2 years under some of the world's most notorious terrorists.
Step 2: Sell out.
Step 3: Profit.
But it doesn't end there...
Step 4: After a few years of an excessive lifestyle, become discontent and disillusioned.
Step 5: Start quoting the koran, rallying fanatics to kill the "capitalist infidels"
Step 6: Train impoverished soldiers in the desert (using US-given millions of dollar)
The potential application of this technology is boundless. Everything from communication to transportation, even society will be changed by the refinment and eventual mastery of this particular branch of quantum physics.
I'm sure 400 years from now people will be using spooky action at a distance to teleport to their flying cars so they can head out to stores to finally buy a shrinkwrapped copy of Duke Nukem Forever.
The problem with boilerplate form letters are that people who only have a shallow understanding of an issue or topic can simply mad-lib a form letter and sound like they're informed. This doesn't benefit the recipient nor the writer (who thanks to these canned letters, is given a cheap way out of actually learning, participating or becoming really involved) I can't help but notice a similarity between this and students who steal code off the web and claim it as their own.
If you build it they will come

A great deal of this article spends its time talking about the "whole product" and applying it to everything from software to cars.
He says when consumers buy a technologically inferior product, they are really buying the ability to chooseand buying product support/longevity
Really? I thought the success of competing standards has always been based on two things: clout and marketing, not technical specifications. Your average consumer will choose brand X not because they've carefully weighed the benefits of it over brand Y but because they saw a really funny ad on superbowl sunday about it. Don't overestimate the average joe since what he will always buy into, is the hype. ___
Yeah the change has nothing to do with the steamy warm pile of bad press Palladium has received for the last 10 months. This solely reflects Microsoft's decision to integrate, augment and "embrace" other secure technology along with Palladium.
Welcome to Echelon v3.11. All attempts to copy this software will result in painful bursts of highly focused photon particles from the sky.
This is Martin Luther King Day and the best/. can come up with that remotely pays respect to it is to post an article about the subhuman consideration of fictional characters.
How about we take care of issues dealing with real people in the real world first and then move onto trivial and completely fabricated realities.
What's this? Windows has innovated a way to give rich people something to complain about AND showoff their luxury items all at the same time? Where do I sign?
