LWN: Who wrote 2.6.20?

'There has been little research, however, into how much work on Linux is truly "volunteer" - done on a hacker's spare, unpaid time. In general, the assumption that Linux is created by volunteers is simply accepted.'

Very interesting.

"Rick shows off the fact that the alpha does line and page breaks in real time, bringing back memories of 1986 when that was news."

David Weinberger makes it pretty clear that, web-conceptually, 1.0 will be radically old-school. Another interesting tidbit from his review:

"[T]here's a rumor that Microsoft is doing a virtual version of [create Works], its defeatured Office product."

That certainly would make sense. I hope (but, given the track record, am mildly pessimistic) that they could control the urge to implement it as ActiveX control, tho.

calendaring,

architecture (outdoors ed.),

architecture (indoors ed.; be sure to try it full-screen) and

Pretty refreshing that we've finally caught up to the 1997 state of the art in DOS 3D engines. Seriously!

All filmed in Papervision3D.
