I hope that instead of a save button, some programs will constantly save work and provide a timeline-like feature to go through all changes in the document if neccessary. Obviously, it'll need a clear history feature for publishing, and it'll need a smart algorithm to save memory/diskspace.
Just as an example as to how backwards compatiblity should work, Python has it about right.
For example, the current python version returns 2 when you type 5/2. In Python 3.0, the behavior would be changed to returning a float (2.5).
This could break plenty of scripts, such as parse_lines(file_size/2) where the argument could only be an int. Now, to the magic:
These future changes are announced years before the actual forced change in the language. However, for your current Python 2.3 program you can import future behaviors, like so:
from __future__ import division
Which will make sure that your division doesn't break once python reaches 3.0.

That crazy window effect is absolutely amazing. All the window functions are still functional, the mouse clicks just mapped slightly wrong. Thanks for sharing.

It'll run off a fuel cell 3mm from your head.
The site has a .au TLD, can you guess it from there?

Anyone know where I can download the revision log utility to view changes in .doc files? I've searched google and usenet, and found nothing.
Hi, you must not be from around here. This is Slashdot.
Nice way to rephrase the totally obvious joke and put it in your own words making it not funny at all.
just about everything?
Mod the parent down redundant. It's obvious the comment is stolen.
That's right, because manipulating the stock market is illegal.
You **CAN** convey **EMPHASIS** with just bold or CAPITALS.
Actually, slashdot has a PDA link: http://slashdot.org/palm/
You were probably querying it hundreds of times per hour, because twice per hour is fine with slashdot.
90% of filesharing is illegal, get over it.

Did they teach you how to make plurals of words when you were in grade school?
Wikipedians can revert changes easily.
How does loopback address make all Windows PCs go slow?
Because the windows machines are DDoSing www.sco.com, stupid.
Go ahead, blame Saint Andreas. Its all his fault! (I've had that one stored up for years, waiting to use on Slashdot.)
It's a shame you executed it poorly.
They - the people spamming google with this stuff - would just switch to underscores.
Underscores aren't allowed in domain names.
Don't miss today's Google logo.
Many people miss the Google logo nowdays because they never go to the homepage. (thanks to google search bars and keyword searching).
Sure thing.
