+Here is +an interesting discussion about the on-going debate regarding binary XML. +The paragraph about MPEG 7 is particularly interesting. +This +article is a brief overview of what's new in Windows XP. +Interesting to see how far behind Microsoft is wrt to some things, and +how far ahead they are on others. For example, the author is excited +about three customizable views and NTP time syncronization, when we've +had that stuff forever. On the other hand, XP and OSX.1 are busy +refining translucent window support, while we're still +trying to figure it out. +I also stumbled across Directron, an +online hardware vendor with a bazillion different cases, and +Kernel Trap, an interesting +Linux kernel news site. +

+ +

+I picked up a DVD-ROM drive this weekend, but I'm still fighting to get +it playing CSS-scrambled disks. If I have any luck I'll post the +results here. I tried +the preeptible kernel +patch, but it failed catastrophically with my SMP box. It looks +like he corrected a few SMP-related mistakes, so I may give it another +shot in the next few days. +

+ +

+I'd be interested in knowing how this page +renders in various browsers. I've checked it out in Mozilla, Galeon, +Konqueror, and Opera, and I'd like to know how it renders in +Internet Explorer (Windows and MacOS), ICab, etc. Screenshots or email +welcome. +
