VRML was released quite some time ago, and as distressing as it is, the people once again have been lead astray. Why are things efficient only when the rest of the world uses it? VRML would have been one of the biggest break throughs in internet publishing, but what happened? I think the grasp of the marketting giants choked it to death. More than 4 years ago I purchased a book that taught me how to develope VRML, and I figured within about a year, that's all I'd see... so why not? What happened? We can't cope with Virtual Reality?
At some point in time I lost line of VRML. It became a nothing. I was too consumed with the latest version of HTML and the most up to date browsers that, not surprisingly, have created their own versions of HTML. Why when something is multi-platform do they have to tinker with it so that it truely isn't? Are they showing us who's boss? VRML should have been a break though... but it was a flop. It's all about marketting... or maybe it's just that people aren't ready... most people never are so I think the most logical would be the best answer.
This stuff is old new... throwing a bunch of kindling into the fire that went out won't start it up again.
It an ium? Is an "ium" an english literature term for redundancy? I think it is. If it isn't, I'll be calling Webster next Monday. Dammit... looks like I owe my friend $20... We had a bet to see who would be the first to come out with the least logistical public display of ignorance. Wait.. Intel... Bill Gates.. perfectly logical... I win.
Oh goody goody!! Does this mean everyone in Washington, D.C. will get funky new plates that say, "Bull-shitters Capitol" and California will get the "Plastic Surgery Capitol"?!?! What should Rhode Island have??

Undeniably, there is no such thing. In a struggle, there is always an advantage. There is always a disadvantage aswell. On the internal, an NT footwasher would do his best to make NT win, and a Linux puppy would do his best so Linux would come out on top. Then you have all the variables of the integrety of the hardware and the protocols, regaurdless of the fact that this was a beligerant CGI mistake. The common statement is being held that the system is only as good as it's admin. That is all fine and dandy, but do to recent discussions with a close friend of mine, I've come to a conclusion about this world... it is a sad, sad day when, in order to make it to the top you must lie, cheat and steal; and an honest person will never be trusted. I give you Clinton; I give you Gates; I give you Fidel Castro; I give you 65% of Congress; I give you Nike; I give you the majority of today's entertainment industry; and I give you every political leader of this world.
"No Fair!" is what my 12 year old sister says when I beat her in Monopoly.
So the intelligence behind our military efforts are imploring the "user-friendly" Macs as a web server? Despite the fact the Microsoft has it out for them in ever corner of the ring, the nations/worlds computer infiltration leaders will only see this as an invitation. Once the word get's around "been there, done that" is what I believe actually keeps worthy security even an option. You get board, you go on to the next challenge. Only this time they'll be starting fresh, so when something DOES go wrong, they get to sit and stare at their reflection in the monitor. The idea that changing their server will actually provide for a more secure host is silly. Silly I tell you... hahahaha... silly. I was also wondering one other thing; will they recieve *special* camo-coloured G4's???

So what's my point you ask?
Computers don't make mistakes, people do.
