I don't feel myself to be a part of whatever generation the journalists want to refer to this week. I use Google, but I also read books. I use Facebook, but I also meet up with friends.
Can't we just use the technology available to us, without being branded with the [Insert Keyword] Generation tag?

On Slashdot, everyone's facetious. I don't expect to be modded Informative for this post, for example;)
Or perhaps the author lives outside the only country in the world which calls it a "resumé". Some basic awareness of the world comes in useful when you're a programmer.
As far as I understand it, the Slashcode for submission of comments strips out any characters outside the subset of (lower ASCII + a few accented characters). Unicode pages like Greek, CJK or Klingon won't make it through to the final comment.
So, your Greek isn't rendering because it isn't there:)
And, of course, you deliberately miss the parent's point entirely.
The issue is the shortage in the UK, even though the console hardware and retail package are exactly the same. There's no valid reason for this shortage, other than an artificial restriction somewhere in the chain.
I've got a wireless link (11g) set up between two Linksys routers. At one end, I've put a spider skimmer behind the antenna; it's one of those Chinese cooking tools used to pick items out of a deep fryer. Near-perfect parabola, wire mesh of 6-8mm, bamboo handle; ideal reflective surface for a 2.4GHz signal.
I get about +12dB gain with the "dish" installed; not bad for £5.
I just had a crazy idea one day, that it'd be cool to write an emulator for that fancy new Nintendo DS that was yet to be released (this was mid-'04). And I said what the hell, and started on it; eventually, I ended up with DSemu. Of course the code wasn't massively good, and the design of the plugin architecture was horrid; that was the point. I learned much more in a year of writing an emulator, about code structure and good design, than ever I learned at college.
Many people on here have mentioned existing open-source projects to look at, including MAME; if you add DSemu and mic's Dualis to the list, I'd love to see the fruits of the DS emulation scene in your studies at some point. DSemu's maintained by Chris Double now, so feel free to throw any questions at either Chris or myself.
I'm a EE grad, with multiple years of experience in programming (web and application development), open-source projects released, and even a couple of professional certifications under my belt. And I'm unemployed. I'm not feeling the "shortage" in tech workers over here.
It's not like companies can't afford me (friends of mine will attest that I work for very little money), so I've no idea why I can't even get an interview or callback.
That said, I do have a 0% interview success rate;)
AJACS definitely seems to apply better than the AJAX that everyone calls it at the moment: when was the last time you saw XML being thrown over xmlhttprequest, as opposed to plain HTML/CSS?
I also definitely agree that it's the browser developers (particularly Microsoft) who are dragging their heels on CSS support. Heck, my copy of Firefox 1.5 fails Acid2 hard; fortunately, I know that work is being done there to gain compliance before too long.
As for printing with CSS, I'm a convert. The last document I wrote that wasn't HTML/CSS was my college final project report, about 2 years ago (that was in TeX); since then, everything I've done has been HTML, styled for screen and print. Heck, even my resume's HTML.
I'll probably get modded offtopic, but do people really understand the tagging feature? I don't think "no" is a valid tag for this article, since it tells me nothing about the content. "netscape" I think is a perfect fit; if you wanted to find articles about "netscape", this would pop up, and I expect that.
But articles about "no"? I don't see that happening.
If I'm not mistaken, Westchester was the town where Commodore set up its headquarters, in its heyday of the PET/VIC series. Would they be required to conform to this law, or would they not fall under the 'small business' provisions?
(Ignoring the fact that Commodore would probably implement their own wireless standards with lowest-cost components, to exempt themselves.)
Admittedly, I didn't RTFA, but 'goto' is almost definite to be included in PHP6 upon release. Do we really need this pandering to the VB migration crowd, sacrificing code structure for the sake of a bigger PHP userbase?
The maintainer of the wiki has passworded the ability to edit pages, as he says he wants the information put in to be accurate and verified; only after it's been checked against different batches of hardware should the info go in. And of course, since some of the pages don't exist yet, they'll come up as passworded.

Informative? I don't believe that's the mod Profane was going for ;)

Oh, my kingdom for mod points. Mod parent down; he did ask for it.
You seem somewhat confused.
OOXML is the "Microsoft version". You may be thinking of ODF, the Open Document Format.

Looks like that ndsemu place has an old version of the DSemu emulator. I saw a version that got updated today, over here.
