HTML 4.01 doesn't stop you writing good HTML, hell i have been doing it for years and still don't feel the need to unnecessarily start using XHTML (All I need to do is change one variable and all my HTML would be fully XHTML 1.1 compliant apart from I wouldn't be servering it correctly to IE).
I've started re-rewriting my javascript as well to be xhtml compliant but this is a slower task.
Anyway, I use HTML for the main reason of:
If a user saves such an text/html document to disk and later reopens it locally, triggering the content type sniffing code since filesystems typically do not include file type information, the document could be reopened as XML, potentially resulting is validation errors, parsing differences, or styling differences. The same differences as if you start sending the file with an XML MIME type.)
followed up with that if my code is handed over to someone else then it wont matter as much if the stuff up.
AND slashdot doesn't even validate with html4.01 so using XHTML would leave you in a world of hurt!
I let someone else explain this one, but basically you should be using html 4.01 and not xhtml unless you really know what you are doing and have good reason to do so.

I agree with what you are saying, but for me the ratio of augmentation:lazy seems more dependant on how late I was out the previous night and how much I drank.
We're not talking about Windows safe mode here, It was switched onto safe mode because a glich was occuring.
In safe mode to turns to the sun to funny charge its battery and allows communication with Earth on its low-gain antenna. Which is presumably to work out what is wrong makes changes and reboot the system.
You have to remember that this craft has been in space since 1996 so is old and might have radiation damage by now so this kind of thing is to be expected.
There is a steady birth rate of about 130,000,000 born every year versus a death rate of 60,000,000. The only reason that the earths population is thought to be stablizing is that death rates will be reaching 130,000,000 in about 2025. If people stop dying then so is our population control is gone and the earth will increase its population by 130,000,000 a year instead of 70,000,000 (which is a deacreasing number).
In america 4,500,000 people are born vs 2,800,000 deaths, if you stop dying you are almost doubling growth. Do you think that America could handle that? What about after 20 years of increased growth?
I personally think that America would shut it borders faster than I play snap! That goes for lots of other western countries.
If people stop dying, then we would have to change our policy/laws on birth control or face a over population crisis
I don't think you quiet understand how many people 6,000,000,000 really is. If only 5% of people decide that they want to have more than there fair shares of kids you have 300,000,000 people to deal with. You simple can't blast 300 million people into space.
Worldwide I'm pretty sure that the population is growing at a fairly fast rate ("Global population increase is currently equivalent to adding a new Israel, Egypt, Jordan, West Bank, and Gaza to the existing world total each year." Source).
If people in the west stop dying and then our populations would start to add to the problem.
Without death we have no balance and without balance... well, we've all seen star wars
Yes I would recommend it, it is one of the best books I've read. Its really well writen and extraordinarily insightful. It brings up lots of really cool issues and really makes you think.
It can be alittle slow in places (about 30% of the last book is dull) but its worth reading through.
that would be filed under "People will die in riots if the government give us the technology but try to control over population with laws controlling birth rights".
If the government tried that then people (at least some) would demand to have to right to both. In india only about 50% of the country use birth control despite its massive growth rate and how many people in the Western world would accept forced baby limits like in China?
Even if you blast 1,000,000 people of to space every month you're not even going to dent earths current population let alone a population that doesn't die.
You dont know my friends! To them, toxicins are almost as good as drugs!
Plus the other occassions it happened, none were the same person and only one other was someone trying to drink the water. The rest were accidents like people walking into my pc or kicking it under my desk.
It was a really shit PC until I got a job and 'upgraded' (read: no original parts left) into the monster it is now.

It would show definite evidence that man is affecting climate change.
Every we go we seem to fuck up the climate.

Its ok, I'm pretty sure the Bush Junior will 'pre-empt' us and will nuke everyone at the same time to stop retaliation.
Then, finally you will be safe!
You do live in a 'free' country, so what do you expect?
Rich people to play fair?
My current password is "ilovepigs" and all i have to do to find it is look through my slashdot post history on another PC.
I don't understand why people bother with postit notes
Earth as in soil, not our planet.

Thank god I use public transport!
Wow, i just read http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/20 05-08-09-our-view_x.htm and it made me laugh, you guys are better at watsing money than our government (UK)
right*, doh!
They're both partially.
Ruin the plot why dont you!

(Presuming governments try and withhold the technology).
People will die in mass over population if the government give us this technology.
People will die in riots if the government give us the technology but try to control over population with laws controling birth rights
It at time like this I wish I hadn't read Kim Stanley Robinson's 'Red Mars' series.
After doing some of my own research it looks like some of the facts might have been wrong.
I have to say, i feel alittle disappointed in the Guardian right now.
The wall around the Netherlands is longer than the Great Wall of China and is thought to have cost 1.5 trillon dollers to build.

I welcome cooler CPU and hard drives, not only does it help extend the lifespan but also helps keep my sperm count up!
