This is to be taken with a grain of salt and not as a proof of anything until further inquiries, but since it's going to be posted anyway it may as well be posted with some warnings:

A blog called Geemondo also reports that Mischa Spiegelmock seemed to have had dinner with Microsoft guys.

Put them in comments and use a tool to generate and test regular expressions. For the Eclipse IDE, there is QuickREx, it includes a paste function that automatically escapes the escapes.

http://eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/rating_detai ls_plugin.jsp?plugin_id=964

A good idea is to include the regular expressions in a comment as well. Most of the time creating and testing a regular expression takes most of the time anyway. If you really hate the escaped regular expressions, just put them in a resource (e.g. a .ini file containing Java properties) instead of source code.

• Zebra GNU Routing software (emulates IOS)
  
• Quagga (Zebra, but more up to date and maintained by people who accept outside input)
  
• BGPD - Supports BGP-4 and multi-homing.
  
• Motorola FT100 CSU/DSU (we had the ones with V35's on the back, and custom pinned cables to translate into the 24 pin serial interface on the T1/E1 cards)
  
• Cyclades PC300 (we had the PC300/TE-2, I believe, with 2x 24 pin serial ports which required adapters from V.35 out of the back of the CSU/DSU)

The reasons? A unit test suite that implements several million test cases (mostly pseudo-random probes -- the actual test code is about 1/3 the size of the functional code). In fact, the "defects" that hit production were more "oversights"; stuff that didn't get accounted for and hence didn't get implemented.

Just as importantly; every dynamically allocated object just got assigned to a "smart pointer" (see Boost's boost::shared_ptr implementation).

Quite frankly, compared to any Java implementation I've seen, I can't say that "Garbage Collection" would give me anything I didn't get from smart pointers -- and I had sub-millisecond determinism, and objects that destructed precisely when the last reference to them was discarded. The only drawback: loops of self-referencing objects, which are very simple to avoid, and dead trivial if you use Boost's Weak Pointer implementation.

We didn't have access to Boost (which I Highly Recommend using, instead of our reference counted pointer) when we first started the project, so we implemented our own Smart Pointers and Unit Testing frameworks.

I've since worked on "Traditional" C++ applications, and it is literally "night and day" different; trying to do raw dynamic memory allocation without reference counting smart pointers is just insane (for anything beyond the most trivial algorithm). And developing with Unit Testing feels like being beaten with a bat, with a sack tied around your head...

Tons of language plugins.

There are plugins for almost everything. This will take the heat off the download servers as well. It takes at least a few hours just to notice the most important plugins :)

Everbodies's complaining about lack of software, etc, etc. Folks, you can run a full install of Debian on even a 5500 (which is what I have). I run firefox, thunderbird and just about any other app I want as they're all available from the Debian arm archive! I went into a big rant on /. once about it, got so much email about it I put it up on a web page. Anyway, a karma-whoring I go, see here:
http://undertow.2y.net/zaurus/

On my page you'll find cool stuff like my (unmaintained) SLapASS program (wireless app that uses kismet to sniff out networks and then associate with 'em, among other things), an ext3 driver I compiled after getting sick of long fsck's on my 1GB SD card, and I've compiled the great passive OS fingerprinting app "p0f" for the arm platforms and made it available there as well.

Anyway, enjoy crushing my web server :-)

Eclipse is not just for Java. You can use it for C and C++, python, COBOL, among others.

How does this stack up with Zebra?

Yes yes, if you put any kind of crap on the GBA's awful screen you can hide a multitude of sins.

Never mind the fact that their official product, the GameCube-attached GameBoy Player, offers the chance to play the game on the large screen of your choice, the fact remains though that even on the sad little GBA screen the Mario sprites animate well, but don't look as good as they could.

Having had the astonishing good fortune to be responsible for some previews in a print magazine Nintendo's unfortunate choice of pre-rendered sprites becomes even more disheartening. What looks bad on the GBA screen and worse on a proper monitor looks really dreadful on paper. Nintendo knew their game was good and they knew it would be reviewed and previewed and displayed in giant-size in magazines, but they did it anyway and I, for one, am disappointed.

For what it's worth, here's a review I wrote (Different than the print version) including a brief look at the sprites that encouraged thie larger analysis. Note that it includes pictures of the box or cartridge from both GB Donkey Kong games, which I own. "Stop playing the ROM" indeed.

.or you can just get one of those el-cheapo "battery extenders" which are basically a simple external unit that cost about $10 and takes 4 *rechargeable* (only!!) AA batteries and plugs into the power jack. I've got one and it works great! (You have to use rechargeables because they have slightly less voltage than the std AA's, and otherwise you'll blow your Z).

Japanese phones have had the ability to receive broadcast TV (via the internal antenna, not a re-packaged pay-to-view version) in several phones for a while now. Have a look at this Vodafone NEC unit.

It's not about the extra abilities in my phone, it's the disabilities that are newsworthy. The TV phone linked above has ridiculous DRM - you can save video clips and screenshots, but not transfer them. The powers that be fear losing what control they've got that you can't transfer the images or video clips you make with your phone, not to your computer. They're locked on the phone. Java apps are locked to the phone, if you have to replace the phone you're f**ked, unless you can transfer them to the SD card - if the phone has a slot - and even then only if your new phone is the same manufacturer and the same phone number. The phones are locked to the carrier, there's absolutely no way no how to use a Vodafone on DoCoMo's network, end of story. You can play music files, but only ones encoded by the locked-down software app, so they're useless to any other music device.

On the bright side, mine has a 2megapixel camera that does pretty nice work, so it's mad handy when I don't want to lug around the real camera and see something neat.

Where was I... Oh yeah: More features are good, but please - make these features useful and not more restrictive than the alternatives, ok? Anyone listening?

nope...

Bonk. Makes perfect sense.

I made a quick video using Celestia of the Venus transit. It requires Divx and it's about 330KB in size and runs for 18 seconds.

Here is the link. Ugh, be gentle. :)

This also just gave me an idea. Being in North America, I might use Celestia to watch this happen in real time on June 8!

I hope you're not saying what I think you are saying... Unfortunately, you probably are, and you are in the majority...

"If the truth about someone/something is hurtful to them, or exposes harm they have knowingly and willfully done to the defenseless, or is simply not Politically Correct, then don't say it." Furthermore, label it an Ad-Hominem Attack, and label the sayer as a Red-Neck Good-'Ole-Boy Conservative War-Lovin' Baby-Killer. Or at the very least, that he/she "lacks honour and integrity".

I call Bull-Shit.

Unfortunately, telling the Truth in sales isn't wrong; it just doesn't work. There is a difference.

I was in the Financial Industry for many years. The biggest players in the industry play off people's fear of uncertainty, causing them to make financially suicidal decisions, which also happen to pay the Banking and Life Insurance industry grotesque profits [http://ul.blows.2y.net]. It's easier than taking candy from a baby!

By your (and most poeople's) logic, it is "wrong" to lead people to truly understand how bad what they have been sold really is, and how "not nice" it is that they were sold a steaming load of ... garbage, instead of what mathematics and history indicates would have been the correct product.

Basically, the "nice salesmen" need to not say anything negative about anyone selling garbage to the people they love and care about, for fear that they will hurt the feelings of the poor "Sales Professional" just trying to reap a well-earned extra bit of profit off of the unwise.

That's not the world I want to live in.

The man behind the website Acts of Gord (stories of a video game retail/rental store) has done this, and talks about it in his forum

It's a conversation very much akin to arguing about the angels on the head of a pin, since I've never used an Amiga and you've never used an X68. Talking to the less fervent of the amiga fans I know, who've used the X68 emulated and the amiga, they say there's definitely some differences between the two machines.

While it's true the Amiga GUI was amazing (and the screenshots I've seen of customized desktops make me weep) I think it can be agreed for the modern user of these machines the OS and GUI often takes a backseat to the rapid-fire and instant-joy use: Games.

Comparing screenshots of games that were released for both there's simply no comparison. I've tried as many games as I can find for the Amiga (emulated) and it's really, gamewise, an uprated MegaDrive. More colours, better sound, better animation, but the Amiga to X68k seems to be the ST to the Amiga.

I heartily recommend you try the emulator, EX68 and then load a few disk images. It's easy, and the X68k hardware was nicely unified so there's none of the incessant tweaking and fiddling to get software to run like you have to endure with the Amiga emus.

You've seen my gallery for the X68, I defy you to find me screenshots that look as good as the X68k best. Dig 'em up, send 'em my way. Let's see how it goes. =)

That said, the price of the X68k upon release kinda means that it SHOULD have kicked ass. USD $3762 in 1991 dollars, based on the exchange rates at the time.

Ah, finally found a screenshot of Amiga Final Fight:

Seems like a lot of NES games were also on that system... Lots of shots of Castlevania on the screenshots page, as well as one that's unmistakeably River City Ransom. Also some shots of Image Fight; compare this to the crappy NES version that I played as a kid.

I wrote about something similar in Japan, a cashless prepaid card connected with Sony's online payment system, Sega's arcades, AM/PM stores, and DoCoMo cellular phones.

Case in point: Agents, a web based game that I play has someone posting regularly on the message boards accusing huge lists of people of using a script to play the game. I happen to be in one of those groups, and to know quite a few of the people he's accused; we're all playing it just for fun. Yet he's not happy being at the top levels of the game; he's got to accuse people who are just playing of cheating to make himself happy...

All the other images I have of Traci have far, far more flesh colours in them.

You mean like this one?

The SP has a huge base of games, and a well established market, costs 1/3 as much. If you want audio, buy an IPOD. And at the price they want, you could buy both an IPOD and an SP.

The control better be tight on this thing. The GBA SP has some seriously tight control (IMHO), and it's comfortable. Battery life needs to be at least 10 hours to stand a chance, 20 would be competitive with the SP.

This is a matter of preference, but the D-PAD on this thing looks like one of those round things, where L could end up being UL, L, DL, or D. I hate those things.

At 300-400 USD, they'd better not be re-releasing SNES/Genesis/etc. games for this thing, as in the point here.

There are plugins available right now that allow you to create forms via drag-n-drop. I don't know if any are open source. You can check out eclipse-plugins.2y.net/eclipse/plugins.jsp for more info.

1) Yes there is (if i understand what you mean).

Expand a java element in the Package Explorer View. Drag and drop it to where you want (eg another class). Eclipse does all the needed refactoring for you.

2) No visual GUI editor. This is available for a price, though. I just wish it were free. :(

I'll agree this is lacking, but take a look at some of the plugins:

I think you could be right, since I use it for completely different thing and am hooked.

Everyday for the last 6 months I am on eclipse + one of the few PHP plugins along with the ftp plugin from eclipse.org for developing websites. Theres even a few SQL plugins if you're that way inclined (plug a shedload more). Lots of time saved and I can share projects between my work winxp system and linux at home since both run eclipse.

The only things that can match all these features (last time I looked anyway) cost at least a few hundred dollars, and didn't impress me as much as eclipse did.

It also runs very fast for me, completely useable on my old 400mhz system.

Randolpho, theres a few drag/drop plugins on that 2y.net site, might do what you want.

I too use Vonage, and have been a little to lazy to set up a proper QoS solution, but would be very interested in a brief summary of what you did.

Being the hack that I am, I whipped up a bash script using ngrep that sniffs the phone calls, pulls out caller ID and outgoing call numbers for syslogging, and can run commands when incoming or outgoing calls occur. I wrote this because I have long running rsync processes that I wanted killed and restarted when a call occurs.

My script:

There is a plethora of plugins for Eclipse here.

That's all I can say... they've certainly packed an awful lot into this release. The JDT team, in particular, seems to be consistent about picking up some of the best features of other IDEs and editors and incorporating them into Eclipse.

If you do Java development, I'd recommend giving Eclipse a try. I've been using it for about a year now, to do plugin developent for Eclipse itself, and I'm still finding out new tricks and shortcuts to make my life easier.

If you do C/C++ development, check out the CDT project. While the current incarnation (1.0.1) of CDT is definitely usable, there's a lot of work going on to expand the capabilities of the C/C++ support and bring it up to par with the Java development tools - adding in things like incremental compilation, source navigation/browsing, refactoring, and all the other IDE goodies that Java devlopers already enjoy.

Plus - there's over 250 plugins available for Eclipse, including things like an RSS channel monitor for slashdot in your IDE.
