World: r3wp

Jerry;  Check out the Dialects forum.  Geomol has written a starter 
bbcbasic interpretter in REBOL.

And while you're at it, check out the 1937 Fords.. I hear they're 
the 'bees knees'.

btiffin, the point is not the BASIC language. it's the compiler.
Most of the applications developed in BBC Basic for Windows is 
under 100 KB. Only one EXE, no DLLs needed.

someone made saltwater burn

i don't understand - if he's just using radio waves to break the 
bonds between H and O in the water, then the energy he gets is exactly 
the same he puts in. it's not an energy source - he's just converting 
electricity into radio waves then into fire.

a clean way to make heat

just use a resistor if you want heat from electricity ;)

I think the media just gets so hyped up on the headline idea of water 
as a fuel source.  They do more damage than good!

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_fuel_celllook under 
lawsuit

Yeah, let's teach people how to start the ocean on fire.  Luckily 
it's not even close to break even on energy.  I read his machine 
was using about 10 times more joules than was coming out of the burn.

People seem to believe that there is talk about a perpetual motion 
machine, which of course isn't true. Same with the water fuel cell, 
which has a strange and sad story, but seems to be moving forward 
now.

Converting water into something burnable with radiowaves is a big 
thing. It's a new discovery, which is something _really_ rare these 
days. Something that can open up new fields of science. If you can 
do this with water, what can you do with other liquids/gases?

QNX Opens it Neutrino micro kernel OS source code - http://www.qnx.com/news/pr_2471_1.html

henrik, microwaves being absorbed by matter is not that new ;) surely 
this is an interesting discovery, but it's not really breaking news.

remember when we talked about how to avoid spambots on Carl's blog 
and on rebol sites in general? For once Microsoft seem to have come 
up with something good: http://research.microsoft.com/asirra/

I don't think it's good

why not? it's great

because every visit to your page will be logged on some microsoft 
project site, whatever it is. And I don't want to click on dogs and 
cats as I don't want to rewrite crypted texts. I'm human, not a robot 
so why to do that? I still prefere other methods how to avaid spam. 
Which is for example for inserted by javascript and or IP blocking 
on the server side if someone relly sucks (and I never had to do 
that)

(inserted form)

So what about people without javascript? They have no right to see 
the page? Bad method I think.

CodeGear Ruby IDE is almost done. http://grabtherail.com/

It's called 3rd Rail, watch the video here http://video.codegear.com/3rdRail/TourOfTheIDE/TourOfTheIDE.html

Remember the mac guy pc guy commercial? there is a java guy and ruby 
guy video. it's so funny http://www.grabtherail.com/ImRuby.html

We probably should make a commercials like this.
Hello I REBOL
 "and I am Ruby" ... 
Making funny video is one of the good ways to get noticed.

Graham, cool thing. I'm seeking for something like this being based 
on Debian.

Anyone know if this exists?

I got classified as a bot when I tried the asirra test :(

Interestingly they plan to use geolocation services to show animals 
that are close to you in case you get tempted and want to adopt one 
of the animals.

Hello, I'm Rebol
   .... "and I'm .. er  sorry, who did you say you are?"

Robert, not sure if you want a Virtual Debian or a Host Debian, but 
check this small page.  Note: I've not  tried any virtualization 
myself.  Live dangerously and practice unprotected computing.  :)

Thanks for the links.

So it seems North Americans have to rely on Europe to reign in Microsoft. 
 Thanks Europe, well done.

A new kind to streamline public finances...

But I too think they are right.

they = the EU

Yep,  I hope this ruling puts the kibosh on the possiblity of hardware 
manufacturers being forced to sign non-disclosure agreements if they 
want drivers to function on Windows with DRM.  GNU/Linux would quickly 
start to lose out if that happens en masse.  Today is a good news 
day in my biased and perhaps  naive opinion.

IBM offers up Lotus Symphony
http://symphony.lotus.com/software/lotus/symphony/home.jspa

Actually it's OpenOffice - IBM's version

I wondered...so that's what they get for donating 35 coders... a 
little bit of press and some branding.  :)

I downloaded IBM Lotus Symphony yesterday, I am using it now. So 
far, I don't like it.

Great ajax grid http://www.turboajax.com/products/turbogrid/index.html

jerry, just from the screenshots, it does not look particularly impressive.

Henrik, you're right. And not just that, the performance is not good, 
because of Java. The download size is 150MB, and the installation 
size is 300+ MB. Why does IBM make everything dull and huge? We should 
make an Rebol Office, I mean it. After REBOL/View system has been 
improved in R3, this is not impossible.

This seems interesting...  Lina Software released the source code 
for LINA under the GPL v2. LINA enables Linux binaries to run with 
native look and feel on Windows, Mac, and Linux, without recompiling.

Interesting comparison of Open Office Writer and Microsoft Word 2007 
- http://www.linux.com/feature/118986


I thought Writer couldn't be compared to Word, but now I try to download 
Open Office to judge myself ....
