When you design GTK+ user interfaces with Glade you are saving them in an XML file.
I believe that XUL in Mozilla does the same, and to some extent, WebForms use the same principle.
It is a great way of separating the GUI from the controler and model parts of the program. That is something that the current WinForms model doesn't provide yet.
I preach Opera like a Jehovah's Witness preaches... well... Jehovah.
It is like firefox, with most of the extensions installed, without hoarding your memory, and completelly integrated. Oh, It also reads your mail. It is a 4MB download.
Opera spoiled me because now I cannot use any browser that doesn't use Sessions. Its usability is superb, nothing comes close. Every single detail has been polished.
I have always used the ads to support Opera. Specially since the ad sense ads that occupy the same screen real estate as a toolbar. Getting a free version makes me feel rather guilty actually.If only Microsoft made me feel that way:-)
Mi niece told me the other day that she would rather be beautifull than intelligent.
Society tells women to be stupid and popular and then asks itself why women, on average, seem less inteligent than men.
In Puerto Rico we mistranslated speed to velocity.
When one cop pulled me over and told me that I was driving at excessive velocity I told him that he couldn't prove it because his radar/laser gun measured speed and not velocity... followed by a brief explanation of vectors and scalars.
My last project involved two different ms access databases distributed accross a couple of laptops and a web server, a MySql dabatase, some rich clients (windows apps) and two ASP.NET server apps all connecting through.NET web services for interoperability and disconnected syncronization.
The system works in conjunction with a legacy system involving a web app developed in PHP, a MS SQL server and a non.net c++ windows app.
It couldn't have been smoother or simpler and didn't involve any COM+ style programming.
My next project involves, besides the standard database, a multi tier app that includes load balanced web servers, a session management web server, a server dedicated to web services and a.NET WinForms app distributed across n number of computers.
After my last experience with.NET I am not going back to java unless I really really really have to:-).
Large standard library
Excellent MVC model
Integrated caching capabilities
You can compile your libraries before uploading
Excellent Web Services model
Free tools
Works on Linux (through mono)
Large third party support
Very Fast
Easier to use and deploy than J2EE:-P
With a patch like this you can use the windows xp native skinning engine to apply themes like these for free, without sacrifycing performance, and make your XP look like Longhorn (or Mac or what you like).
You can also download a free program to change your logon screen.
What I really wanted to see were the new innovations that were supposed to be shipped with Longhorn, like the new filesystem. Sadly, some of them will be missing in order to meet the deadlines.
Bundling SUSE as an alternative is a good strategy. SUSE bundles MONO which is a good.NET Linux alternative. Perhaps Fujitsu wants to be able to cover all bases and include a.NET option for migrating enterprises.
The GPL is what I like to call the viral open source license. If you use a GPL database or library you must automatically make your code open source. In a secret Coronel Recipee Scenario this makes no sense.

Actually, this is nothing new.

There can be no evolution without natural selection. We have tampered with natural selection.

Technology has given people with hereditary conditions like diabetes and nearsightedness the same chance to pass its genes to the next generation.
We are a weaker race because of it. Not that I am complaining

The slashcode page looks and works great in Opera 8.02

You are completely right. I hadn't thought of that.
According to my experience, at the workplace, the most atractive people ussually get the promotions and salary increase.

I have never been so ashamed of being part of the slashdot community as I am now.

There is always Nightfall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightfall_(Asimov)
It is a great short story that inspired two terrible movies and a somewhat good book.

Hasn't canon been doing this for years?
Thanks for the info. I would have never imagined that deviantart had windows styles. :-)
I did notice about the spyware wrappers, but to my experience, only a few of them have them.
"DOS was just built to work on the standardised IBM spec"
That is exactly my point.
A thousand companies could have made PC clones, but without being able to install the software that IBM PCs used, they would have been worthless.
Old crappy DOS (that IBM would have never sold to its competitors) made that possible.

If Microsoft hadn't decided to keep the rights to sell DOS, there wouldn't have been any IBM clones ;-)
They opened the market for cheap computers made of interchangeable parts that can exchange software because of software compatibility.
Without this standarized hardware approach we wouldn't have desktop Unix or Linux.
