I mean, didn't actually bring anything new to the table. Where has
almost all the desktop innovation been over the last 5 or 6 years? OS
X... which is not open source. MS have steadily made Windows worse,
and most Linux desktops are poor Windows clones. Innovation... please?
The biggest innovation in desktops we're going to see THIS year is OS
X Leopard.
As for browsers... Opera, which is not Open Source, is the only place
we've seen any browser innovation in 5 or 6 years.
So from the point of view of the end user, Open Source has added a big
fat zero *directly* to the experience that they get when they use a
computer, although you could argue FireFox's market penetration
indirectly "encouraged" MS to re-vamp IE.

Microsoft hires to **** up their company. There is more to intelligence
than high IQ and academic productivity, but, unfortunately, the schleps
of the world haven't seemed to learn this yet.
Even Onideus, with all his self-image-degrading rants, has shown me more
brains than any w3c mope.
Xhtml? Well, it would be fair to say that xhtml's full intent or
capabilities are beyond my ken, but from what I've seen so far, it is
completely superfluous and actually detrimental to the standardization of
hypertext rendering in general.
Can't fairly comment - don't know it. I need to learn Flex (which will
surely take some time.)

You have to bear in mind how difficult a job it is, diplomatically as
well as technically. Then you have to ask how could it have been done
better, and if you can't come up with too many ideas, conclude that they
are probably are actually doing a good job.
How does the box model suck anyway? If you didn't have to worry about
history or what existing browsers did, what box model would you design?

on what a being ought and ought not to be, what are the truly

In the online reader MT-Newswatcher, it is beaut, in two ways:
(1) All the read posts have disappeared and are not even on the
computer
(2) When the reader is opened, only the thread name shows, not
the unread individual posts and one can just read one after the
other without ever having to even see the list of unreads. Each
post has a next button, or the space bar is used to go forward.
I settled on this newsreader in Egypt to cope with things when
flown there by the CIA in one its sweeps of Newtown, Sydney. I
also have extensive techniques for surviving and yes,
flourishing, in killfiles.

It seems Siemens is considering me to do a world tour training their
people in the use of Flash and Flash video in training. One of my
stops would be Siemens AG in Australia. I believe I would be staying
in Archerville? Of course this is not until Spring 08.
So.... what are you doing in the spring...

There is no Archerville in Australia as far as I know? Siemens
have their Head Office in Melbourne. I had dealings with them a
bit when I was project manager of a chemical R & D plant in
Sydney, nice equipment.
If I am still alive next spring, considering the present flu I am
experiencing, ... ?
