Stop it! You're screwing up the argument that the U.S. is the origin of all evil in the world! Don't you know that Iran (praise Allah!) and North Korea (praise Marx!) are our saviours from this wicked Bush regime?

Both my and mseeger's mea culpas, we both read Me-262, the jet fighter, whereas reverseengineer said Me-162, which I believe was the rocket boosted glider
Close, but no cigar. The rocket-powered aircraft was the Me-163.
In the only bit of good the French did for NATO, they developed or claimed to develop neutron bombs. So, the Soviets would still have to plan for them, even after the US said they would not build them anymore.
Well, I'm certain that both sides continued to work on them. The assurances of your enemies aren't worth the paper they're written on as this latest brouhaha between the U.N. and Iraq testifies.
Absolutely. I just hope this takes off in a way that 1) really does grow the economy by leaps and bounds; and 2) gets cheap enough fast enough that I have a chance to get a ride before I die.
Hey, it worked with hookers, why not with space travel?:-)
You do realize that there's a Monty Python foot icon attached to this story, right?
I think people tend to take Slashdot too seriously, as if it were a journalistic concern. It's not. It's simply a bunch of links to things the editors find interesting, stimulating, strange, or just downright funny.
This is especially true of the excellent development tools that come free with OS X.
No kidding there. I only wish more people would realize how clean and elegant the old NeXT frameworks really are instead of pushing GTK or Qt when there are better cross-platform alternatives.
I don't own one yet but I seriously want to get one because I'm a NeXT zealot and want to have a Mac for convenience when GNUstep doesn't have something I need. And because I want to have a *real* Objective-C debugger.:-)
It's strange. I have a Juno account that I've had for years and never got spam in...until about 3 months ago. Suddenly, I started getting 20+ spams per day in Korean (how did I manage to get on a list like *that*--I don't even speak the language).
Relatively little of it is pr0n, surprisingly enough. It's mostly foot powder, dog food, knick-knacks, etc. And the only reason I know what's being advertised is that every single piece of mail is 20 KB of HTML stuffed to the brim with large product images.
I've written to the ISPs responsible and only one responded with assurances that they would deal with the spammer. Methinks Korean ISPs have found a profitable customer base.
On the lighter side, maybe this will spur me on to learn Korean. At least I'll be able to take advantage of all the "great deals" I'm being offered.
The problems with Phoenix are Trademark related. The BIOS manufacturer called 'Phoenix' is releasing a web-browser built in to their BIOSes (though their browser is *not* called Phoenix) and got all huffy because there was an open source browser called Phoenix already. So they threatened to sue/torture/beat the shit out of the Phoenix team unless they changed the name.
Something similar happened with the Chimera browser too, I think.
To broaden the reach of their format. The same reason they gave IE away for free. They aren't concerned with the short term; they concentrate on dominating an industry through formats and protocols.
Bingo. I posted something like this a little further up before seeing your post.
The Microsoft leadership knows what my dad always told me: 'The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.' They know that market dominance is the only goal that matters and they're very good at staying focused on that goal. This *is* bad for Linux and anyone else in the embedded market.
I think it is indeed a big deal. The Microsoft leadership is very market savvy and they *ONLY* do things that significantly enhance their ability to raid and corner markets. Their goal is to destroy anybody and everybody who competes in every given market by embracing and extending them. It's their proven tactic for ruling markets. Ergo, this move *IS* designed to further complete control of the embedded media device market.
After observing every move they've ever made, it is not possible to come to a different conclusion.
Slashdot Mirror
The other half is the lousy writing and complete absence of plot. :-)
Nice links, BTW.

You're possibly right. But why all this talk of 'bands'? Not all music is produced by a 'band'. Some of us actually have musical talent you know. :-)
I don't know about you, but I find it interesting that a *comment* buried in a Slashdot story can get blitzed. We're playing with power here folks. :-)

It doesn't have the same punch, but it fits.
We need a recycling program for trademarks. They're more scarce than paper or plastic...
How about 'Best-Damn-Browser-on-the-Planet'? It's very unlikely to have been used before, and it's appropriate suggestive to potential users.

And don't forget that Cocoa applications are source-portable with GNUstep. There are even GPL'd clones of Mail.app, and Interface Builder and Project Builder.

And you could also have it keep track of how much of any particular product you have 'in stock'. 'Time to buy more hamburger helper!'
I thought it said they had 'concealed their plans' and I thought, 'Wow, they're sure blowing that strategy.'

Well, they tried hitting MS-based devices but they always broke.
Additionally, in the southeastern U.S. 'shag' is a type of dance. I guess the British definition could be described as a dance too but...
