I like to think of it as "open" as in 'you need MS-Word to "open" the file'.

The intersection of OSS developers and good technical writers is a small part of the Venn diagram. Nothing would ever be released if a project wasn't considered done until documentation was complete and well written. The strength of OSS is that each person can contribute the part they're good at. If someone makes a good piece of software, it'd be great if someone else came along to document it, and everybody wins.

# man linux
No manual entry for linux

Yup. It's lacking

He seems to be taking out his anger for Microsoft on PHP

They will have to call it GoToo!

No HD projector, no shaver. Lame

this is where it's at.

If Nintendo thinks it'll sell and make them money, they'll made a DSi with the bigger screen. If Smith is truly satisfied with his 3.25" DSi screens then he should enjoy using it as he presumably does now, and get over the fact that he doesn't have "the latest" that Nintendo has to offer. Sheesh.

I think the lesson to take away from this is to kill all animals, everywhere you find them. Only then can the environment be saved from their eco-footprints.

I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451 for the first time. It reminded me a lot of 1984, but didn't terrify me (in a good way) as much. Still, I thought it was a fantastic read and Bradbury's vision of a society lulled by TV into political complacence to be very relevant today, even prophetic.

In my office an unlocked computer is fair game for harmless pranks that have become known simply as pwning.

Nothing too nasty happens as the shame is in having been pwnd, not in the severity of damage inflicted.

There, my computer just announced "it's one thirty" in a robot voice. Nice. Thanks a lot, guys.

Trouble is they spent all this money lobbying politicians to make DRM stick, and tampering with it a federal offense, so they'll keep going down that road while abandoning it in their business models

HTML 5 is no longer just a hypertext markup language. The work the WHATWG is doing covers a new DOM, new scripting elements, and multimedia support for video, audio, svg and CSS animations. For this reason I think HTML 5 is misleadingly named, it should be something like "Web application framework 1.0". With this in mind it's not unreasonable to discuss what codecs should be universally supported by browsers.

And DocBook

Then, wow. What a hack-job website Asus put together.

This website is such a hack-job. I can't believe MS or Asus was involved. The video player is FlowPlayer, the tracking uses Google Analytics, the fonts are all wrong for a MS job. There's no copyright, disclaimer, contact. Nothing. I call bullshit.

That, and I don't believe MS would be encouraging people to use XP with Vista taking so much heat and Windows 7 just on the horizon.
