Hmm, yes... Thats true. Actually the biggest problem today is probably stylesheet support. So, if you apply the idea to that it perhaps makes more sense: the server gives the client (browser) something that it is sure will render ok (using whatever horrible hacks it has to - not much difference to todays webpages).
I remember I read on/. something about a guy who had coded a plugin stylesheet for IE that gives better support for modern stylesheets. Thats great, but requires an installation, in which case we could as well require Firefox to begin with!
Perhaps this could be a "business opportunity" soon: code a server transformation module with plugins for each of the kazillions of different browser versions that exists... I doubt that OSS would ever began coding on something so boring!:-D
I'm no expert in XSLT, but since XHTML is in XML, should it not be possible to create a XSLT to transform a XHTML page to good old HTML4? And by configurating the webserver to serve this transformation to legacy browsers (read IE!) you could handle all documents internally in whatever latest XHTML standard you chose to use. Sort of like a serverbased browser plugin...
Another comment attached to this story makes me belive that the current state of XSLT tranformation engines are quite slow? Well, nothing a few months of Moores law can't solve!:-)
One thing I have thought of is that an sufficiently advanced race could have the technology to either move stars or simply igniting them as supernovas.
By doing this in patterns, a message, or atleast proof of tampering, could be created. Perhaps a subproject for Seti to work at?
I guess we all know the message we'll find though... "FP!"
I don't know if an invisible laser is a good combination with a toy... Considering that all laser products are considered somewhat dangerous to your eyesight.
Are you to wear special safety googles while playing? How do you avoid looking at a faulty gun where the trigger has stucked?
MOSK (Mozilla, Opera, Safari, Konqueror) will probably never achive more than 50% market share together. It's hard to compete with something that comes preinstalled.
However, if MOSK manage to become a noticeable minority (say, 10-20%), web projects that targets the public will be forced to consider supporting open standards, instead of some proprietary technology MS dreamed up.
So, keep on promoting a MOSK browser today! It's all about statistics baby!
Well... The demo scene is like BSD: it has died so many times we have lost count.
I also miss the demo scene. But the the PC scene is kinda mixed up since there is no reference machine with certain specs. Yesterdays state-of-art demo can be done in Basic tomorrow...
C=64 demos still rules! I was blown away at The Party '94 (and '95) in Denmark when I saw all the clever tricks they managed to make those old machines do!

"www.openbsd.org and the main OpenBSD ftp site are hosted at a SunSITE at the University of Alberta, Canada. These sites are hosted on a large Sun system, which has access to lots of storage space and Internet bandwidth. The presence of the SunSITE gives the OpenBSD group access to this bandwidth. This is why the main site runs here."
And even given this, ftp.openbsd.org is usually very slow around release time.
The most interesting about this post is that only half the people that has moderated it (up till now) understood the reference. "Score:3 Interesting"... Do you believe in santa too?

Here is the definition of semitic. Seems to support the fact.
