I *hear* the money went to build schools and hospitals. I'm so glad they didn't waste the money
"wireing" the country. Sadly global warming and rising sea levels is going to wipe out the country.
So the profited by luck and one global trend and lost by another.

According to Star Trek the U.S. goes metric some time. Will that happen in our lifetimes?
This version of Moz on Linux finally draws up sites like
CNN legibly. The text in small fonts
can be read. Now I don't feel like a second
class citizen. Yipee.
(I have RedHat 7.2 with Windows 95 TrueType fonts added.)
Does that mean the modern day people of Europe
are immune? After all their ancestors lived
thru the Plague. Or -perhaps- less likely
to get it. That would include many people in
the New World also.

So many of the comments are negative so I just want
to say that I like it and with I was using it now instead of dumb C++. Every time I have to declare a member or function twice (in heading and.cpp file) I curse C++ and D fixes that.
Java isn't an option because it requires a VM
(usually) and can't using the standard C APIs.
On Windows you need the real APIs or you are in
a "play" language. So D looks drop-i ready to
replace C++ and that's fine with me.
Passport says it solves the problems of having
to keep track of different logins for all the
sites you access. Well, most sensible people
use different logins on different sites so the sysadmin of EBay can't
access your bank account, for example. If you don't like this: use the same
userid/password for all the site you access. Of course that's less secure but
that's what Passport proposes.

Also, Miguel suggest that instead of Microsoft holding your login info
alternate trusted parties might include your Swiss bank, etc. Well, why not
place your info on your home page in a standard format like this:
www.myisp.com/~myuserid/profile.xml
Then you can point everyone there.
One dictionary defines
hubris as "exaggerated pride or self-confidence". I think we can safely say that Microsoft isn't bordering on hubris...they got it bad!

All you sysadmin who thought you were going

If only they used the demoroniser!!!
Ooops, now Windows XP is out the name XPCOM (Mozilla's cross-platform component stuff) doesn't seem so great.
You were close with "Ideas for Cryptography" but it was actually New Directions in Cryptography
You're close, it's designed after the Teletubbies. Geeze, first they copy the Mac and now this.
Of course, browser can't display XML so doesn't anybody know what's going on?
(These guys are really into the "latest thing")
Yes, we all do.
Why do they use a database to serve out articles?
What's wrong with giving the Unix path!
Nice and easy, reliable, etc.

No, in Perl this is written:
$d = "$a$b$c";
I think the icon showing Tux with a briefcase would be the one to use here - if there ever was a time to use it!
Soon Linux will get around it's clustering shortcommings - it's all part of the World Dominiation tm plan!
I see ASCI White runs AIX and IBM said gladly replace AIX with Linux someday so we could see the fastest computers running Linux not too soon.
Well, that's no good

OK, so Linux is replacing some Unix boxes. That's a no brainer. I want to hear about it replacing NT boxes - now that would be exciting.
Dan Gilmore writes that now is the time to stop WinXP. Darn good points - every one.

Maybe someday we'll see RFCs in HTML - that way we there can be links instead of footnotes. Now that would be progress.
