He may be muddled because of 'Microsoft.NET Compact Framework 1.0 SP3 Developer' which comes with MS Visual Studio 2005. I think it's the equivalent of the.NET 1.0/1.1 SDK...then again maybe not, I never do.NET development.
'Entirely different platform'? I thought WinFX was based on what MS started with.NET. Renaming it to.NET sounds alot more sensible than 'WinFX', which just sounds corny and gimmicky. Atleast when people hear '.NET' they think of the Internet and everything it's done.
Interesting to note that the WinFX Wikipedia article is now redirecting to '.NET Framework 3.0'
I'm bored of Google bring out ape-shitloads of new 'services'. They are spreading themselves to thin and I don't get the impression they are treating any of these wonderful new toys with any seriousness, or infact, have any grand scheme for them at all.
Wake me up when they make their search engine better... or make Gmail a decent paid service where I can ditch the ads and get more features.
I'm a little bored of all these DRM claims. 'Digital Rights Management' always used to apply to media and preventing unlawful distribution (by preventing easy copying), now the term seems to be applied to anything.
Anyone want to furnish the/. audience with a list of 'DRM' in Vista, including references?
Unless i'm mistaken, that probably won't happen. The 1.5.x tree has essentially been dropped from active development and now consists entirely of bugfixes. Firefox 2.x and Firefox 3.x are were active development is atm. You can see progress being made in trunk at The Burning Edge blog
Xorg 7.1 is incompatible with alot of drivers atm, including nVidia's (and presumeably ATI's) proprietary drivers. I doubt we'll see it in wide use just yet.
Suckers like me using Gentoo are just too scared to move to GCC 4.1 and Xorg 7.0, especially on the AMD64 arch.
And someone would have had the decency to write a FAQ about it...and these days people write a Wikipedia article about it.
OpenGL? (for the sake of new conversation)

DirectX 10 Only On Vista

· Score: 2, Interesting
How will DirectX 10 compete with OpenGL for game developer mindshare? With news of version 10 does the DirectX featureset now dwarf OpenGL's (if it didn't already)? Are there any amazing revelations coming to OpenGL anytime soon?
An OEM key won't work with a retail version of XP because major OEM installations don't use Activation.
Most OEM versions of Windows are now activated via OEM BIOS verification, a method called SLP, rather than WPA. The solution to get XP to activate via this method is to copy the OEMBIOS.* files from the OEM version (probably on the recovery disc or on the hard drive) onto your retail XP CD (or into your installation if you've already installed it).
"In a world without copyright, the GPL would be unnecessary"
No, the GPL uses copyright and license terms to force developers to release work under the GPL that they built upon the foundation of other GPL'd code. If you want to mimic a world without copyright, you use the BSD license, because a world without copyright doesn't translate into people sharing code.
* Their control panel is elegant and their their ideas are fresh. * They bring out new original features often (but lack some of the grandeur of Dreamhost for example) * You get 2 cents of balance when you signup (~20 MB of transfer) so you can see for yourself. * You can buy 'buckets' of bandwidth, you specify how much you want and when you want it to expire and get varying discounts on their (quite high by shared hosting standards) bandwidth rate. * Responses from support are quick, intelligent and to the point.
I'd highly recommend them for hosting websites with a sparse # of hits, especially personal sites.
Actually it's Gentoo running Xfce (The window manager you see is XFWM, Xfce's window manager). As you can tell from the screenshot I still use Gnome's nautilus and alot of Gnome utilities.
If you really want to embed PHP into your HTML and want to cope those HTML monkeys happy it's worth knowing that the PHP interpreter understands this:
<script language="php">
your code here </script>
Unfortunately the language attribute is depreciated as of HTML 4.01:( so your pages won't validate in their un-executed form, and PHP doesn't understand the type attribute.
Slashdot Mirror
On the other hand, marketing it as a 'minor version' could also impact the products perception ;)
So they rank video's by how _suddenly_ they become popular...and we go an put it up for a Slashdotting. Good luck unraveling them stats Googlers.

I heard "Web Vista" is going to bring transparent PNG's to the interweb
As your eyesight gets worse you tend to use a bad posture to get closer to the screen...
Doesn't the GPL containa a disclaimer of warranty anyway?

super-informative++;
So what software versions are supported by Dapper out of the box? Theres Gnome 2.14, Xorg 7?
Anyone know of a list?

Well this is one of the scariest things i've ever had to witness on my process list in recent times...
Theres no reason you cant compile in or out features that aren't applicable to specific platform. If your project is well structured.
