There's way too many content management systems out there that focus too much on the content aspect. I found it hard to locate quality open source CMS that wasn't trying to be Slashdot-like. Many people just want some for easily organizing lots of pages in a quick and easy manner. They don't all want to have forums, user profiles, galleries, news, or blogs built into the system.
Lambda Lambda Lambda, is our fraternity;

Most file sharing programs have some form of instant messaging. This effort will work from the other direction. Add file sharing to an established instant messenger.
Their About page lists the developers. Three are ex-spinner.com/AOL and one is ex-Microsoft. They are currently in Beta development, so it is being offered free.
...it's going to be a lot simpler
for those users who want it to be.
Does that mean you've had people ask you to keep things complicated because they like banging their heads against their desks trying to figure out why they can't get things to connect? All users can benefit from better design. At this point, more will benifit from simplification than those who would benifit from the extra tweakables.
I am glad to hear there are developers working on the project. Many good software ideas often die after work halts on them for a while.
Integration of two technologies always kills off both technologies in my experience.
In a sense, yes. In the early 20th century, the mechanical reaper integrated with the mechanical harvester to create the combine harvester. It killed development of the two seperate technologies, but from the integration emerged one more useful technology.
Most file sharing apps add instant messaging capabilities. So, why not add file sharing capabilities to an instant messanger? They are adding it as a plugin, meaning it would be optional.
Making a program that only geeks can use won't cut it. The goal, after all, is to keep people out of jail.
They were probably talking about WASTE when they mentioned this. My friends and I tried it for a while. It was too complex to set up and maintain. My friends need simpler point and click installation. Firewalls gave a lot of greif, too.
I have, however, gotten several of my friends to switch to GAIM after they've realized how crappy and bloated MSN messenger is. I hope something useful can come out of this.
Uh, I believe oxen driven wagons were able to cross the untamed frontiers of the United States with airless tires. Before that, horses pulled wooden carts with solid wood wheels.
The point is that the new tires will be similar in design to the current and have the same stability and flexibility.
X-prize is all about giving the amatuers a try. They need a few massive failures before experience can give them anything to work from.
They can still have people watch, but like at the space centers, from a distance.
Gelatin (also gelatine) is a protein product, manufactured by partial hydrolysis of collagen found in bones, hooves, connective tissues, and skin of animals.
Yes, Nutch is designed to be a good bot and follow the normal rules, but just like any open source project, it could potentially be used badly by someone.
I don't believe it's actually being used in practice, but Nutch is developing rapidly. The largest test crawl they've completed has been about a hundred million pages. They're asking for donations to develop a larger demo system.
Anyone. ZenStrings provides inexpensive music than can be used to add depth to a
website, intrigue to a film, or atmosphere to a video game.
I can see an interest for video games, bu websites? Music on a webpage does not add depth, but only gives horrible flashbacks to the days of animated GIF and <blink> tag hell.

Keep it simple, stupid.

The first Revenge of the Nerds was great, but did they really need four?

Where's the +1 Weirdo option when you need it?

Yes, Nutch is designed to be a good bot and follow the normal rules, but just like any open source project, it could potentially be used badly by someone.
More information can be found on the Nutch Webmaster Information Page.
There is one open source search engine that seems to be up-and-coming. Nutch is now powering Mozdex, and it looks fairly impressive so far.
Now, instead of the previous free-will donations, you can support the project through purchasing very cheap sponsered listings that appear to the right of the results (similar to Google)

...or unless you have Firebird's free Adblock extension.
PNG hasn't caught on because Internet Explorer has yet to properly support it.
You can sign the petition for Internet Explorer PNG support.
Do you really think it would be a good idea to flatulate in a small, air-tight box?
I haven't seen any of those large boxes at slashdot in a long time since I have added the Adblock extension to Firebird.
Don't you know it's not how big your sword is, it's who you slay with it.
