		<outline text="&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.suntimes.com/output/tech/cst-fin-micro01.html&quot;&gt;Steve Ballmer&lt;/a&gt;: &quot;The only thing we have a problem with is when the government funds open-source work. Government funding should be for work that is available to everybody. Open source is not available to commercial companies. The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source. If the government wants to put something in the public domain, it should.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="Windows 2000 question. I want all folders to open in Details view mode. I tried using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.scripting.com/images/folderOptionsControlPanel.gif&quot;&gt;Folder Options&lt;/a&gt; control panel, but the Like Current Folder button is always grayed. How do I get it enabled? And am I approaching this the right way? [Lawrence Lee has the answer: &quot;Try opening Folder Options from the menu bar while viewing the folder instead of from the Folder Options applet in the control panel.&quot; Thanks!]"/>
		<outline text="Where did the phrase &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-sic1.htm&quot;&gt;sick as a dog&lt;/a&gt; come from? That's me, today. It started as a sore throat last night, and moved into my respiratory system, and turned into a cough, and made me sleep for hours this afternoon. I've got a cold, it's not the end of the world, at all, but it makes me feel sick. (Because I am!)"/>

She said she saw some men at computer terminals engage in what appeared to her to be masturbation and that computer users would verbally abuse her when she tried to enforce time limits.&quot;"/>

		<outline text="Are &quot;web services&quot; the way of the future? Well, based on past experience with proclamations from BigCo's about such things, you'd have to say no. Why do they make such simple things so damned complicated. The other day I looked at a conference whose keynote premise was that WSDL and UDDI were &lt;i&gt;just the beginning&lt;/i&gt; of the complicated alphabet soup that makes up web services. My eyes glaze over."/>

			<outline text="Edd Dumbill: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2001/05/30/stateofxml.html&quot;&gt;The State of XML -- Why Individuals Matter&lt;/a&gt;. "/>
			<outline text="XML.Com has a really narrow focus, and within that focus, little appears to be happening. Only a certain kind of project gets coverage on XML.Com. I don't understand why. "/>
			<outline text="Perhaps it's ironic that The Standard (see above) has a clearer view of the big picture in XML. I thought Edd would not go down this path when he took the editor job at XML.Com, since he's an XML-RPC developer. How did he forget this in his survey of what's happening in XML? Because it's not embroiled in W3C politics, it's not important? I think when the dust settles there's a pretty good chance it'll be the only thing that works. No schema, no IDLs, no specialized directories, low barrier to entry. Edd also co-authored the O'Reilly XML-RPC book. So it's not as if he doesn't know about it. "/>
			<outline text="Also, there has been much coverage of RDF on XML.Com, and little or no coverage of the simple way of doing syndicated Web content; and absolutely no coverage of OPML. Once again I'm working with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.seyboldreport.com/&quot;&gt;Seybold&lt;/a&gt; folks, who are co-sponsors of XML.Com along with O'Reilly, and I've been raising the issue privately, with no response from Edd."/>
