Many shortcomings of http for web apps are being addressed, xul, xmlhttprequest... the main problem being that MSomebody is still trying to fragment standards for its own product line.
Who will get to 3.0? Java, now FOSS?

What is a nation? It's a bunch of people sharing the same land, culture, sometimes race. What did fascists do? Sending those same people to the/dev/null of armies, soviet russia, and during peacetime spying on them, hurting them, making them disappear, changing their own culture to align them to their new order.
And what all of that achieve? Confusion between being a patriot and being a blockhead who does not respect the other citizens of his own nation, that is a traitor. And being peaceful and respectful of others implies the refusal of national identity.
Of course you might answer: "oh but that's just the consequence of errors made by fascist leaders". Sure. But if they succeeded wouldn't have they tainted nationalism and culture anyway by associating it with their regime?
And, as some guy said 2000 years ago: Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
Just to be fair, communist regimes did the same: cultural destruction of their people. The opposition to capitalism has been extremized into the most difficult model to follow, that is stripping people of property. A pity because the problem of capitalism is not property. It's money debt and interests being able to influence real assets of real people according to the needs of people who wanted money to be not a mean but the only recognized metric of civilization.
And the result was: ex communist nations full of people who care only for what has been denied them for so long time: western luxury. And, whoever critical of the world of debt and paper money being tagged as a communist enemy of society.

No it's a cunning plan to divert Mr Gates from the OS biz. Unless you assume the trouble he can cause as President of the USA can beat the damage his OS has done to personal computing experience. I say: elect him.
Right wingers can't be religious people. They can only assert they are (and they probably know it since they kill religion the same way fascism kills nationalism) but reading the ABC of most religions proves the opposite.
This discovery seems to me more "dangerous" for current science theories than current religions. It implies that will could have a different meaning than the mere transition of electrons in some areas of the brain. Down with Darwin, go Lamarck:D
It disproves the higher power Direct intervention in reality, sure. But didn't the predominance of an OS like windows have the same effect, or stronger? Anyway I didn't believe in it already, even if I believe in the possibility of a higher power being responsible for reality. If you think about it, imperfect creatures created by the higher power are much more problematic for theology than a higher power creating the universe, giving freedom to everything inside.
if you say "enough of vrms because of rms" i assume you're not talking about the person but his public role. So i pointed out that you're free to live without minding about him. Unlike some others. It's like you were complaining about being allergic to a rare orchard in a city where people are allergic to smog.
You don't like Stallman? Just don't write GPL code, and if you're not an hypocrite don't use any, even. As simple as that.
It's not like Stallman forces hardware makers to ship with an OS preloaded, engages in constant monopoly abuse, spreads FUD about competing products, creates an entire market for security products because his OS is full of holes.
A couple of days ago, the ranting of some MS manager about interoperability, here on slashdot. But when it's time to ship, having working symlinks (rocket science apparently) for basic interoperation purpose is not there. Same old Microsoft, expect same old frustrations with Vista.
You said it, Joust! No contest. The two players could be allies, adversaries, playing mostly on their own, competing for eggs, one disappearing into the lava lake because it couldn't stop laughing after the "unbeatable?" pterodactyl bit the other in the ass.

hehe I wonder if vrms will get more popular: it could be useful if it incorporates checks for potential problems with patented stuff.
Lets' hear from packages.debian.org:
Package: vrms (1.12)
virtual Richard M. Stallman
The vrms program will analyze the set of currently-installed packages on a Debian-based system, and report all of the packages from the non-free tree which are currently installed.
Note that vrms is not limited to Debian systems only (which means that it also works with Debian-derived distributions such as Ubuntu). It is also not limited to Linux-based systems.
Future versions of vrms will include an option to also display text from the public writings of RMS and others that explain why use of each of the installed non-free packages might cause moral issues for some in the Free Software community. This functionality is not yet included.
3 And out of the smoke locusts came down upon the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth.
4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any plant or tree, but only those people who did not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
5 They were not given power to kill them, but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes a man.
6 During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.
7 The locusts looked like horses prepared for battle. On their heads they wore something like crowns of gold, and their faces resembled human faces.
8 Their hair was like women's hair, and their teeth were like lions' teeth.
9 They had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the sound of their wings was like the thundering of many horses and chariots rushing into battle.
10 They had tails and stings like scorpions, and in their tails they had power to torment people for five months.
can Anybody contribute More OSS than the amount he adopts? Impossible but for a few big corps. Does anybody care? Just as long as adoption by others does not limit my freedom, i can't care less.
Well I admit that if I had a big project developed under PHBs' pressure, I'd take my time cleaning it up before releasing the source. Anyway I didn't mean to be harsh on Sun. I hope, and expect their work of open sourcing java and Solaris bears good fruit to them.
I think we must thank microsoft and its C# initiative, er... plan for world domination, for convincing Sun to open up. That couldn't be done 10 years ago when Java was the only player, and it being free as in beer was already a step forward compared to other environments.
Even if MS were just as evil as any other corporation, the only two forces capable of keeping Microsoft "talk to" Linux would be Linux market penetration and the fact that stopping talking to Linux means being incompatible with older Microsoft proprietary formats who have already been opened.
Since at least 30% of said cluster nodes would not work because the equipment is borked, it would approximate the functionality of a windows cluster. Not cool.
1. Each thing sold must be taxed for its recycling (kind of an additional VAT, with standard amount for item category and the possibility for sellers to certify a different packaging or item composition which gives em a discount)
2. Consumers can either choose to dump stuff in the bin or go to recycling sites and get refunded for the amount and quality of the material they give back.
IMHO that would pressure producers to consider packaging more carefully, let consumers get something in return for the effort of getting stuff properly recycled, and somebody might want to sort garbage to get a lil money.
I know that the idea of tax is not popular. But we pay anyway in the end in a polluted environment.

Well but for potential patent problems affecting FOSS I bet there's no difference whatsoever between the two.

How could SCO benefit by declaring "better to use windows than linux?" :) SCO did not benefit. Their managers probably did.

Besides, MS making the deal with Novell largely about Mono to me is just one more reason to stay well away from Mono.

All with the nice side effect of slashdotting terrorist sites...
