I think syntax highlight helps by warning of mistakes (like, if I type a class name and the word still the same color, I must have made a typo), and by helping searching for things (like, I want to find some function definition, my brain pays attention to words in brightblue).
So, I don't think (specifically) syntax highlight has this problem, 'cause it is there when I need it, and am paying attention to it.
The right thing to do is *not to give up*. The law is being (ab)used against many of the beliefs of the free software community (decss/copy protection/extending copyrights/etc.).
Now that the OpenSSH crew are clearly on their own right, they must use the law for its real purpose.

Programming languages are more and more about taking away choices for the sake of simplicity (i.e. getting away from the flexibility of language machine and asm). Also, c++ is already a very complex beast.

I think this is the worst thing about c++. If my memory serves, theres a good deal about it in the C++ critique at this link.
I also tested the wma format on a song (unlike your criterious selection, I picked one from the cd on the drive). I encoded it at some bitrate lower than 128 (but greater than 64), since the claim was same (or was it better?) quality on half the size.
The result was poor compared to mp3. Wma created a disturbing "underwater" feeling. Adding that to being one more M$ closed standard, I decided to not touch it again.
Maybe the standard libc could have functions for maintaining configuration text files in/etc and user home directories. So if I wanted to store strings/values I could just call those, and they would store the data in standard ways.
Much like windows apps can store their configuration in the registry, but without the bloat/mess.
I think Matz tried to make things a little comfortable for Perl users, due to it's wide user base.
But I understand that Ruby is much simpler than Python. Ruby don't have many (any?) special types, and that's a big thing about simplicity, IMHO.
Smalltalk uses too much memory. And loading the (huge) image at startup just sucks.
Ruby, on the other hand, has good characteristics of Smalltalk, like pure oo, is faster, the syntax is sweet, you load the modules as you need them, etc. . I suggest everyone to at least take a look at it. It's syntax is very easy (much easier than Python, IMHO), and once you get the grasp, you start to just do right guesses of how to do things.
But how is life for ADD people? Do they like to have ADD? Was it easy to them as kids and teenagers? At least then they can chose to have a more regular life.
You can also use wwwoffle. It's a caching proxy server with features for use with dial-up connections. It lets you browse the pages offline as if you were online, select pages while offline for download when you go online, sort of refresh policies for pages, etc. Take a look at the website: http://www.gedanken.demon.co.uk/wwwoffle/. Debian has a package for it.
There is a document about something like this entitled 'An Evening with Berferd - A cracker from Norway is "lured, endured, and studied."' on the Documentation section of rootshell. Here is the link: http://rootshell.com/docs/berferd_cheswick. ps.gz Check it out.
Ok. This may be true. But, our (brazilian) government uses Win all the way, from what I know. They use MS software and formats for everything. It's a pain to access the sites with Lynx (I'm not going to talk about accessibility, since we have had a good deal of that on Slashdot). It's presumed that you use Windows. Documents for download are.doc (yes, the files end with.doc, not rtf, not pdf...), the html pages are crap loaded as the majority made with frontpage. And don't forget we're talking about a country with many social & economic problems, and wich is paying lots of money for this. By the way, it's been anounced that the receita federal (our IRS) servers will be down since some hours before midnight and 'till 3am of January 1st, to avoid problems with hackers, and still with a special team taking care of the (turned off?) servers. And also the law project says the public administration will be "obligated to preferably use", so I don't think it will be forced in the case there is a good justification. What I hope is that the folks start realizing.doc is not a public format, and so, there should be, at least, other formats as well, and things like this.

"In individuals, insanity is rare, but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule."
The same applies, just include "corporations" in the list.
The individual is supressed in favor of the group, he only sees his part of the problem, having no idea of the bigger picture.
Dammit! I was just going say that!
It doesn't matter. The license matters.

Maybe this will make more companies consider releasing opensource drivers for Linux. Write a driver for Linux and it works also on Solaris.

But it must not be confined to GUIs. It should be an standard API independent from graphics.
They are right.
The tld dot nothing domains are not US exclusive.
Don't be so americanized.

IE5 do the same. Lynx is the best.

So maybe this means that it is very difficult for someone ever have some sort of control over it. Which I think is good.
