A while ago, I've read somewhere ( don't remember the place, sorry ) that some old versions of some browsers had issues about ISO char tables. Moreover, I've seen many ISO web pages rendered weirdly on Macs ( random accents stuff ) and I just don't wanna see my web page wrecked like these, so I consider it more safe to use the original char table even while writing in French, and WYSIWYG editors allow me to do it quite alright.
WYSIWYG HTML editors are very useful to get most of your interface done FAST ; then, you can change some details with your favorite text editor.
Furthermore, writing accuented text in plain HTML is such a pain in the ass it's not even funny. You have to type stuff like "é" instead of a sole key on a French keyboard ( I'm French-speaking ), and since most languages have non-standard - according to English, that is... - characters and that these are very common in text for some languages, I think such a feature is essential to a top notch international HTML editor.
I don't care much about vi and Emacs fanboys in here arguing how lame WYSIWYG editors are, the fact remains the same : these can do the bulk of some work fast, easily and effectively, and details can then be reworked in HTML mode as needed. Get the memo : knowing HTML doesn't make you 1337.
Of course I do. It's just that he is so blatantly contradicting himself by arranging the stories the way he did here, from whatever pespective one might use, it's not even funny.
If you think the last submission is the most interesting one ( I agree, btw ), why the fuck did you put it at the end of the post and didn't mention it in the first paragraph ?!
People ALWAYS have prospects somehow. You just have to think about it some more and get some help from friends or professionals if you have problems figuring out what to do.
...of course, if you still wanna kill yourself, jumping off of some very high thing is the most beautiful way out... but still, don't do it:)
Of note is that 92 percent of the new information was stored on magnetic media, which may create an interesting problem for historians and archaeologists of the future.

One of the government's concern is about security, and this of course can be both good and bad because it has to consider not only the people's safety but it's own too, and that of course can have very bad consequences the moment the government considers you its "enemy".
If you want to avoid the possibility that the government watch stuff it shouldn't, you better think about alternatives to the State because governments will always seek for their own protection just like every other social organization, except that governments have tremendous powers that other organizations can't have.
Social phenomena cannot occur "naturally", since you always start from some social constructs to go to other ones - that's what culture is all about. Even facing some purely physical observations ( "A comet is going to hit the Earth !" ), you will interact with other people according to social habits you already have. Therefore, capitalism, like all -isms, is a social phenomenon and hence can be put aside.
Capitalism is not the mere exchange of goods and services ; capitalism implies property. On the other hand, there have been many places and times in history where things were managed in a purely communal way, where things were shared among the people without restrincting individual rights ( that is, unless someone just knowingly wasted ressources ). Unfortunately, most of these communes got crushed by external reaction ( though some did from internal problems ) ; anarchist Catalonia around 1937 is a great example of all this.
I didn't even have to offer you a counter-example though, it's just fundamental observation : social constructs do not exist as is, and other ways are possible and shall happen sooner or later. Nothing lasts forever.

My little math sucked : you should copy the output three times, not four. Guess I should get back to my books a bit ;)
Now, here's a little math for you

Well, why won't they just print it ? Sheesh...
Lindows, of course.
He invented robots.txt though.
Well about computers and chess, you could start with this discussion here on /. two weeks ago...
Just got a NewsForge ad on top of this discussion thread called "Keeping the alligators out of your sewer"...
At least Gator still releases software ;)
