  1. Re:been done, README in StumpWM on Extensible Programming for the 21st Century · · Score: 2, Funny
    Funny thing that I read a very similar story last year: it was the README of the window manager stumpwm, which was written in Common Lisp.

    Cite:
    The current trends shown by Big Software is to use XML for all data formats. It won't be long before we have XML interpreters, XML data being interpreted as functions:

    <math>
    <operator>plus</operator>
    < operand>4</operand>
    <operand>5</operand>
    </math>

    I predict within 2 years Big Software will announce the Next Big
    Thing: XML++. An Object Oriented language with all the advantages of
    the superior XML data format coupled with modern advancements in
    Server side Web based technologies. XML Code and XML Data will be
    almost interchangeable, except for some tweaky markup which will be
    justified by the need for more aggressive innovative content creation
    services.

    But why wait? We have it all already.

  2. Linking between documents on Creating and Using XML-Based Internal Documents? · · Score: 3, Informative

    In your case I'd probably choose docbook, but if you're just looking for a way to automatically setup the links between several XML documents you might take a look at w3make (which I wrote) or a similar project called XWeb which was written by Peter Becker.

  3. bash prompt with colored hostname on What Does Your Command Prompt Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Living in several networks I like to have intuitive signal where I am by first making the hostname standout (colored) and second using different colors in different networks.

    This is one of them
    \[\033]0;\h:\w\007\]\u@\[\033[1;34m\]\h\[\033[0m\] :\W>

  4. security issues on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1

    when you're working in a company taking a close look at security issues it comes to mind that one could encrypt the binaries and sources and start s program that needs to run in ramdisk. Thus it will be destroyed whenever someone tries to lay hand on the computer...

  5. guess what... on October 5: National Techies Day · · Score: 1

    it's mine, too :-)

    So, at least, we got an excuse for parading in front of the Empire Slashdot Builing(TM) ;)

    And BTW: congratulations to you!

  6. Cards still true? on Re-Release of Illuminati Card Game · · Score: 1

    Have the cards been updated? I sincerly hope so, so they still are so true and to the point...

  7. People in contact on egcs to become gcc · · Score: 1

    There has been a short discussion on this a while
    ago in com.emacs.xemacs (which I actually started ;). So, there ARE people interested in this and there ARE people in contact concerning this. But the ones who know what they are talking about say it will be a hell of a work to do this ...
    IF it will happen, it will take quite a long time, I think (the more I'm involved the longer the time *g*). Go and read the archived NGarticles at
    http://www.xemacs.org/list-archives/xemacs/

  8. What about foreign languages? on Ask Slashdot: Technical Speed Reading Courses? · · Score: 1

    I can read and comprehend german texts quite fast,
    as german is my native language.
    When reading english texts it's quite hard to view
    at whole phrases to keep up the speed. It's even harder to remember things right and follow the lines of thought.

    Anybody experience with this? Anybody got an answer _beside_ improving my english ;)

  9. german stuff on SuSE 6.0 First Complete Look · · Score: 1

    What's your point? North America is more important than anything else? Now, YOU get emacs, bash andsoforth running with german umlauts, 8bit charset and stuff. I'd like to see RH or any other us-distro shipping databases of typical german providers so you just choose one and PPP works. Now, you go and get ISDN stuff working fine...


    get the point?

  10. SGI Distribution on SGI Embraces Open Source · · Score: 1

    > Makes me wonder what their rumored

  11. So what? on Does Open Source Fail the Acid Test? · · Score: 1

    Maybe some of the OSS projects will go down, probably others will arise....
    Stability is a question of moving, not unlimited growth. Take a look at evolution...
