The Rise and Fall of Corba

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the always-easier-in-hindsight dept.

ChelleChelle writes "Chief scientist of ZeroC, Michi Henning, has an interesting look at the story behind CORBA a once-promising distributed computing technology. Henning provides more than a brief history, in addition to several reasons pinpointing why CORBA fell short, focusing specifically on the OMG's technology adoption process itself. Most interesting is the final discussion on what we can learn from CORBA's decline, particularly in reference to web services."

    Corba Kai was never the same afterwards.

    This article completly glosses over the contribution of G.I. Joe to CORBA's downfall.

  4. (OT) Thom Yorke "The Eraser" torrent? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Since Slashdot is a community notorious for its teeming hordes of criminal freeloaders, I thought I'd ask. I'm having trouble finding a WORKING torrent of Thom Yorke's "The Eraser." All peers and no seeds. Firstly, why is this? And secondly, anyone know where to steal the album (without paying one red pence to the evil recording industry, the evil Steve Jobs, or the oh-so-rich-yet-oh-so-indie Mr. Yorke, natch)? Thanks.

      Thanks, anonymous mod, for reiterating what I stated in the subject: OFFTOPIC. Perhaps you lashed out because I called Mr. Jobs "evil"? That, I assure you, was tongue-in-cheekity cheek. Because I agree--Steve's on our side. He's the ur-hipster. He was indie before indie was cool. Oh, Steve! Anoint me with Your merrie melodies. Bless me with Your taste. Touch me. Touch me.

      With that out of the way, does anyone now have a link for Thom Yorke's "The Eraser"?
