Twice even. But both releases (2.6 and 2.7) didn't work with my IDE controler. My IDE controler! On the other hand, they recognized both NICs, which weren' recognized at all by Linux without new drivers.
I looked at Verizon DSL because they told the ISP I wanted to use that they had no more capacity at my CO. Of course Verison could sell me a DSL line, but even for their "Business DSL" service (which is what I wanted) they couldn't provide me with even one static IP address. That is almost unspeakably dumb. Obviously they just want to sell more T1s at 10x the price.
But it's not a physical property of the cable (or whatever) that makes upload necessarily slower than download, it's because these freakin devices were designed for companies that want upload speed limited and that think of the internet in terms of television broadcasting. They understand that there must be two way communication, but they don't like it. I agree with the original poster, I don't want my internet access to be (effectively) one way, I already have a television!
I didn't say it was more portable than PHP or Perl, and Java and Apache are not mutally exclusive. Java application servers typically run with a traditonal web server which is used for serving static content, since that's what they're good at.
You'll probably find that for any complex site Java will give you better performance than PHP or Perl, since a good Java application server will comple dynamic pages into Java classes so no request time parsing/compilation is necessary, and there's no need to spawn a new process to handle each request.
The down side is that Java appliation servers are usually expensive. If you're doing big $$$ sites, that really doesn't matter but for smaller sites
it cuts into the margin too much. There are some open source Java app servers, and one who's name I can't recall right now, looked pretty good but I haven't used it myself.
Forget about Java applets. That's not where Java is being used today. Java is excellent for generating dynamic content on the server side, replacing PHP, Perl, whatever. A large majority of high end web sites being developed today are written in Java and will soon standardize on J2EE.
Uh, you still don't have a clue. It's not Java that's unstable it's Netscape's integration of Java that's unstable for christ sake. Java is plenty stable.
I don't know if you've noticed it, but Netscape itself, minus Java, is unstable. You've noticed that right? Well, by your reasoning I guess that makes the C language unstable too. Is that what you're saying? But that means that Linux is unstable, since it's written mostly in C. Uh oh!
You're thinking of Java applets. Not too many people use applets anymore. Java is mostly used on the server side, so you'd never know that it's there, i.e. it's used to generate pages dynamically. Java is, in fact, behind many large web sites these days. It's where it's really shone as a technology. Don't write Java off because of applets.
Oh, I was the one using subjective judgement? Just because you call any feature you don't personally want, "the consumer side" doesn't mean other Linux users, like myself, wouldn't welcome those features or that by having them Linux would somehow become useless ("the party's over") Maybe you should take that stick out of your ass before you post.
Your ignorance is showing. I'm a linux geek, I've been using the OS since 1.2.x, but I'm also an advanced amature photographer who knows the value of color calibration. Likening color calibration to AOL is like saying Linux shouldn't be a good good graphics platform because then it'll be too useful.
What I want to know is if you modified the design of the building for better gameplay?
Come to think of it, this might even be a good idea for things like airports and government buildings, it would allow police to test the design to determine how difficult it would be to stop a terrorist attack.
There was a doom map of Trinity College as well, a friend who attended that school said it was well done. By the way, thanks for the foot note for "Merkins", we need it 'cause we ain't got no learin in these parts.
As a fellow Bostonian, I'm surprised you omitted the site of the Boston massacre and the common, both sites where a lot of slaughter has occured over time. Just imagine "camping" in Ray Flynn's visitor center on Tremont, picking off tourists as the come in to use the bathroom.
Is it just me, or does that notion strike anybody else as being pathetic in the extreme. Are
American highways really that bad, that you feel you need to practise the drive between San
Francisco and L.A.?
Yeah, struck me the same way. Unless you're racing, the most pleasureable thing about driving is the unexpected you encounter on the way. Taking that away is like being told the entire story to a movie as you stand in line to see it, only worse 'cause movies suck today anyway.
I'll tell you why we rational thinkers don't believe in creationisim, it's because we're not superstitious, that's why. Last time I had an imaginary friend was when I was five years old.
I think you're confusing the universe with man's treatment of his fellow man. I'm not sure how you did that, but it sounds like a topic for Dr. Oliver Saks.
Incidentally, are you using the term, multiverse in a multi-cultural sense? In order to be more inclusive of less fortunate or downtrodden universes? That's so cute!
Yes, references in Java are a lot like pointers in C/C++. The thing is, it's not too useful to think in these terms because all object references are passed by value.
Memory leaks should not be a problem in properly designed C++ programs.
Wow, we have a real programming genius here. Memory leaks are the most common problem with C and C++ programs. Programmers who, in contrast to SquidBoy, live in the Real World know that memory leaks are most often bugs not design problems. A "perfectly" designed program may have bugs that leak memory. If your response is, "well then they're not well designed programs" then my answer to you is there are no well designed programs, since almost any non trivial C/C++ program ever written has had a memory leak at some point in it's lifetime.
As far as "power", that's relative. I think Java's memory management and exceptions (which are better than C++'s) are more "powerful" than C++'s operator overloading, something I haven't missed at all.
That was an analogy. Superficially, analogies sound unrelated, but actually do offer similarity in some respects between things that are otherwise dissimiar.
Perhaps this will help you understand. The problem with multi CPU boxes is similar to a toolshed full of tangerines. Adding a tangerine to a toolshed (N+1 T) does not increase the tangerineness of the conjuncture, it simply increases the tangerine count. Similarly, augmenting CPU numerosity does not have a corresponding effect on the flavor or juicyness of a given N CPU entity, it simply decreases space left for rakes and potting soil. Get it?
Logical positivism has been sucessfully debunked, so that we may now proudly build N+1 CPU systems if we care to. That we continue to build N CPU systems, where N is an even (or very high prime) number, is simply an artifact of of the nomothetical nature of the aforementioned epistemology. This tendency (or structure) has been exposed ad nausim by first-post structuralists as a result of a fascistic control by CPU manufacturers of computer makers designed to sell more CPUs, in much the same way bread and hotdog manufacturers conspire to sell more hotdogs or buns by packaging eight hotdogs together but only six buns.

It's you
You said it. Slashdot is so *amazingly* lame now days. Where are those smarter /. alternatives when we need them?
TrueType fonts? Ok, I had to think really hard but at least that's one.
