I'm not.....Google is shuffling terabytes of data with very short 
response times.

XML may be a good archive/interchange format -- a better .CSV format 
-- but it just does not scale for operational systems of the size 
Google has.

We are not surprised. Although if they'd wrapped eveyrthing in a 
<google></google> , would that have made a difference ;-)

Try CUIL.  http://cuil.comSearch REBOL.  Nice page, could almost 
be a nice rebol.com frontpage.  CUIL is a google spinoff.

this seems more interesting than cuil, but probably very limited:

Some ppl just call it evolution, not revolution. Some others do appraise 
DirectX, as it works with sound, input devices, etc.

Did anyone see the Cinema 2.0 stuff from ATI? That's pretty amazing. 
It's basically voxel graphics with raytracing. It looks almost as 
good as prerendered graphics, but it's fully realtime.

If you look at the postings by the actual people involved in the 
discussion, you will realize that there is no disharmony now, and 
Adobe is not screwed - they were involved in this decision and agreed 
to it.

Agreed to decision, that MS is not following their proposed standard:) 
I don't mind much.. I'm quite like Nicolas, I can use Rebol to create 
the Adobe's VM bytecode:)
I just can see another room of hell in possible incompatibilities 
between IE and other browsers in near future.

I'm so tempted to just ignore IE as a developer. My latest site fails 
only in IE. If they don't want to play ball in standardization, then 
screw them. I'm just wondering if it would be so bad if all developers 
just ignored IE.

It's much easier to ignore IE when you don't have to support it.

my lcd screen for my computer is dead only after 1 year of use. Syntoma 
when i turn it on the power led indication flash during 5 to 10 minutes 
before the screen lights and became stable. this pumping effect seems 
to be current in the new generation of LCD screen and seems to be 
related to the defective of chimicals condensator next to the alimentation 
block .... having to spend 130 euros  in a new screen only becaue 
two condensators of 0.60 euro are deficient that really piss me off

most brand name LCD screens come with 3 year warranties.
Even then, we have consumer protection here ... so even if it dies 
after the warranty period, it can be argued that to die after 1 years 
use indicates that it was not for fit for the purpose for which it 
was sold.

Auction sites often have cheap LCD screens
Dell dumps their excess stock on auction sites here.

that's a pity those condensors .... the whole screen is new and working 
well apart the pump efect on starting
once the condensors are charged if I turn on/off the screen it worst

shadwolf, is "Syntoma" the brand of the LCD monitor ?

Having to wait 5 - 10 minutes before seeing a picture would be a 
waste of time.
Are you sure you cannot get your supplier to replace it ?

If you can fix it, that is good, but you have not earned any money. 
You will have lost both money and time.

That's what happens with no-name stuff
I used to have a computer store and I quickly noticed that many products 
just look like the products they're supposed to be, but really aren't
Case in point: it may look like a display, but if it doesn't display 
a picture, it really isn't
The most interesting example were the floppy disks that were sold 
everywhere at the end of the era of floppy disks. People didn't want 
to spend anything on them any more, so you could store files on them 
and quite consistently, a month later they would be gone
It was actually quite hard to find good ones. People get what they 
deserve

I think some of my original Amiga floppies still work, but the last 
PC floppies I bought were utter crap.

Kaj, "People get what they deserve" - that seems a rather odd conclusion 
to me.

Anton, why odd? If people want the cheapest, they get what looks 
cheapest at that moment. It may just not be cheapest in the long 
run
If you consider quality in the long run, you usually get quality 
in the long run
