"""This is SlashDot 1.2
It's the obligatory Slashdot.org headlines reader that
any modern widget set/library must have in order to be taken
seriously :-)
Usage is quite simple; wxSlash attempts to download the
'ultramode.txt' file from http://slashdot.org, which
contains the headlines in a computer friendly format. It
then displays said headlines in a wxWindows list control.
You can read articles using either Python's html library
or an external browser. Uncheck the 'browser->internal' menu
item to use the latter option. Use the settings dialog box
to set which external browser is started.
This code is available under the wxWindows license, see
elsewhere. If you modify this code, be aware of the fact
that slashdot.org's maintainer, CmdrTaco, explicitly asks
'ultramode.txt' downloaders not to do this automatically
more than twice per hour. If this feature is abused,
CmdrTaco may remove the ultramode file completely and that
will make a *lot* of people unhappy.
I want to thank Alex Shnitman whose slashes.pl
(Perl/GTK) script gave me the idea for this applet.
Have fun with it,
Harm van der Heijden (H.v.d.Heijden@phys.tue.nl)
