Leet, written as "1337" in leetspeek, is an online culture and/or attitude among the Internet population. The word itself is derived phonetically from the word "elite", and is a cipher, or cryptic form of English spelling. This is commonly confused with B1ff, which replaces only some of the letters with numbers.
It doesn't seem to be a face transplant as the way many people would think of it. The recipient's new face would not look like the donor's ( a cadaver ) face.
The operation is about taking skin and other tissue to use for building a face for someone who has lost one.
I was going to mention how this isn't the first time Microsoft has used open source code, but you beat me to mentioned their use of BSD in their NT sockets.
I have two double-boot machines Windows XP and Mandrake Linux. I would love to swith to the classic Windows look and feel on the XP side. Don't know how. Can you help me ?
About the time of the antitrust case a book came out about Microsoft called BREAKING WINDOWS.
In a nutshell, the book showed how there were(are) a lot of creative, talented innovative people at Microsoft who constantly had to pay what Microsoft Employees called "the windows tax".
In other words, if you created something that threatened the dominance of windows, Microsoft would kill it.
Is it any wonder that Microsoft is having trouble with innovations and losing its star baseball players.
Creative like to create.
Nothing turns them away more than having their inspiration and their hard work squashed. More meetings and rules are not a substitute for these people.
This all sounds nice, I will enjoy it, but what I really want from everyone...my web mail, google's usenet, mozilla's news client and the people who make web board software is better filtering.
Yahoo ( the paid version ) has good anti-spam features, but I could get so much more out of them if their plain old filters were more flexible/ powerful.
With the exception of slashdot, most web based forums suffer from either too much control or too little control. The site owners do not want to play umpire, hear complaints, etc and I can't blame them. The time has come for 100% ( note the 100% ) user controlled content.
By this I mean giving the user the ability to make it as if a regular objectionable poster never existed in the forum. Making his/her original posts vanish, along with all replys to his/her post and any mention of him/her.
The org that comes out with this first ( proprietary or open source ) will be able to very visibly set their software apart from all other similar software. The forum owner who implements such software will have a hook for drawing in members, his/her board will not just be another board among many boards for that same subject.
People really want this.
Google seems to be hesitant about these kind of filters. The mozilla mail client will take the entire thread/tree of posts out, they know it is a bug, but nobody seems motivated to fix it.
Yahoo can give their email filters much more flexibility and power, but they do not.
I'm guessing filters are a lot of work, that is why these various groups have been slow to do it.
It seems like what people want the most, more control in getting rid of the crap they don't want.
I have worked ( at no longer existing ) companies that had tens of thousands of dollars worth of work stored on crappy servers that lost such file system tables.
Recovering the information was not easy.
I have to ask myself who is going to go to that expense to recover somebody else's boring mundane data.
A business should keep their old devices or pay someone to destroy them, no doubt.

Those key bindings are hard to get out of your reflexes.
I have several commands bound to gnu emacs key strokes.

Unless something has changed recently the Chinese government has no respect for intellectual property.
Do they really expect to successfully sue these people?
For those of you like me who had trouble understanding this interesting post:

The word itself is derived phonetically from the word "elite", and is a cipher, or cryptic form of English spelling. This is commonly confused with B1ff, which replaces only some of the letters with numbers.
The email client and many of the non programming features were covered in earlier editions.
This was an interesting article.

I used gnu emacs all throughout and college and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.
Then a boss introduced me to slickedit.
It is EXPENSIVE, but it is worth every penny.
Imagine the power of emacs, more power, and an elegant, easy interface.
No offense to anyone, just my two cents worth.

I saw that list.
I will be impressed when gnu/linux comes preinstalled from the MAJOR, WELL KNOWN PC companies in the U.S.
I know very few people who have XP who have not switched to the classic windows look-and-feel.
I noticed that there were no screenshots in the article.
Would people even want the Vista look-and-feel?
Because I would know that there is a significant market for desktop linux among ordinary users.
Corporations have no balls. If any PC maker started selling gnu/linux preinstalled it would be because they are convinced there is a market for it.
I will be impressed when gnu/linux comes preinstalled on computers in the US.

The article mentions that microsoft wants programmers to build software for vista?
However, the article did not mention what the reason would be for building software especially for vista?
Will old software that already runs on windows, not run on vista?
Does vista have some special new features that make it more interesting to software developers?
I didn't even know what I did not know, let alone where to start.
Your post gave me a blueprint of what to do.
Thank you so much for typing it in!
I am going to save it to a text file and use it as a guide.
Thanks so much!
Steve
Does this mean that microsoft will have more releases than Debian Woody?
Yes. The various web board software out there needs, and does not have this kind of functionality.
I wrote to them a long time ago to use the iCal standard for synching their calendars.
I know so many people who would love to use yahoo as their calendar, but really want something that can by synched with a client that is not outlook

America has been trumped again, just when we thought we were number 1.
We thought we were the tops in pissing on the concepts of freedom and privacy. After all, we have George Bush and the Patriot Act.
The Dutch have trumped us. Turns out the Bush administration is not even the best at sucking.
I now understand the slogan "vote for cthlulus, why settle for the lesser of two evils?"

You probably are not wrong.
