but you get the point :-)
could make a piece of 100$ hardware worth 250$ with REBOL alone

Jaime has APs etc that run Rebol embedded.

Brock, yes not a bad idea! I'm just waiting for a version of REBOL 
(with DRAW), that works the same on major graphical platforms (Win, 
OSX and Linux/UNIX).

Java was not open source? I did not know that.

They had their own funky license. Don't know what it is, because 
I never really pay attention to Java. But they've been bragging about 
some sort of "developer community" for about ... 1 year?

They've been bragging for much longer than that, but their license 
was more like shared source, but more restrictive.

Yes, I think it was that any improvements you made to the core were 
owned by Sun. Something like that.

Some things are clearer with hindsight of several years. It is necessary 
to evolve HTML incrementally. The attempt to get the world to switch 
to XML, including quotes around attribute values and slashes in empty 
tags and namespaces all at once didn’t work. The large HTML-generating 
public did not move, largely because the browsers didn’t complain. 
Some large communities did shift and are enjoying the fruits of well-formed 
systems, but not all. It is important to maintain HTML incrementally, 
as well as continuing a transition to well-formed world, and developing 
more power in that world.

The plan is to charter a completely new 
HTML group. Unlike the previous one, this one will be chartered to 
do incremental improvements to HTML, as also in parallel xHTML. It 
will have a different chair and staff contact. It will work on HTML 
and xHTML together. We have strong support for this group, from many 
people we have talked to, including browser makers.

This is basically LSL and PHP code that can be used to communicate 
between an object in SecondLife and your web server.

The flawed word of web standards? http://arstechnica.com/news.ars/post/20061029-8101.html
maybe Reichart should think about QTask interface for R3 :-)

As W3C have discovered, a "standard" is what the majority of people 
are using, not necessarily what a committee says it is. :-)

Cute, has anyone made a peerless thing like Skype?  It would assume 
that each client would need to relay to at least one additional client.
We use TeamSpeak still,  it works about 85% of the time, and with 
about 85% of people.  For example Europe gets messed up sometimes.

I'm still interested in non-proprietary stuff.  I'd like to try out 
walkietalkie sometime. Linux source is available. Could probably 
make something like that in rebol, with a support DLL.  But not today....

Is sun going to be the technology leader instead of IBM? - http://www.sun.com/emrkt/blackbox/index.jsp

what does IBM meant to you nowadays?


To me, they are just a Professional Services Organization.. , granted, 
they have R&D etc.


But, they have been slowly getting rid of various assets over the 
years.

'The "Penelope" project's intention is to join the Eudora® user experience 
with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora 
that is open source and based on mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* 
our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement 
it.'

Yeksoon - are you kidding, right? Dunno precise SUN portfolio, but 
except their CPU/Server technology plus corresponding sw, JAVA, what 
are they doing technology wise?
IBM, in that regard, even if they sold their PC business, has much 
more broader aproach ...
... not to mention their sw division ...

Wish RT would support Firebird natively ... :)
Can't use it on Linux ..., and I see it now has support for incremental 
online backup too.

Yes ... so stuck on windows
Pekr

why no Linux? I also read it can be used in non-server = local file 
version?

Firebird is on Linux, Solaris etc.  But how to connect?  No Rebol 
driver.

there isn't odbc driver for linux?
