Version 9 was released when? June? Intellimacs are just now in Beta. They had to make the decision to release everything later and simultaneous, or to focus on their biggest market first.
Version 7 has strong AS2.0 support and can easily be targetted by developers. Most of the features 8.0 brought are designer-centric things aimed at neat toys and are of no consequence to a traditional "application developer".
I'm simply saying it's a platform that's to the point of being taken seriously, there aren't a lot of good applications out there yet.
And the 9.0 player is coming for Linux over the next few months. With the new direction Adobe is heading I'd expect much more regular Linux releases.
In the past I've always classified flash as a cute toy that web designers play with to get some interactivity that consisted of timelines and hiding little snippets of code in obscure places in the timeline.
However over the past month I've been imersing myself in the Flash world and have been amazed.
Did you know...
- You don't have to use the Flash IDE to create applications, you can use:
Eclipse (My preferred environment for this)
FlashDevelop
Notepad/Emacs/vi + a compiler
A crapton of other environments
Flex Builder (another adobe product) - You never have to deal with a timeline if you don't want to. - Real object-orientated programming is possible. - Actionscript 3 (available in Flash Player 9) is clearly targetted at developers and not designers and removes many of the oddities of AS2 that you may have heard about. - Real applications, not web toys can be created. - With the upcomming apollo runtime, native applications can be created with full access to all machine resources. - There's a ton of open source libraries out there
Want an IoC container like Spring? Sure!
Want a port of the java swing library? Sure! - The new version of Flex Builder (the environment targetted at developers) is simply an eclipse plugin. - Adobe is now making tools and libraries available free of charge to developers. (not the whiz-bang IDE's, but compilers, libraries, etc.)
I never understood the hostility of people when they post on the internet, that reply being a prime example.
I gave two examples of doing something illegal because I said it was ok. That's what this guy is doing... he's doing something illegal because he says it's ok.
Making a movie based off of Star Wars is illegal unless permission is granted by Lucas Films (I assume they're the copyright holder?)
No where in the article was a reference to Lucas Films saying it was allowed.
And nowhere in your link was a reference to Lucas Films saying it was ok, you just linked to a third party that said that Lucas OK's it and should put it under a certain license.
So we still have yet to see any permission granted. So no, I don't get it.
I'm allowed to steal music as long as I don't turn a profit. I'm allowed to kill people as long as I don't turn a profit.
Saying things doesn't make them true. I think what we're interested in is does the guy have permission. The "lucas approved storyline" thing vaguely implies permission to make a movie, but is there actual permission?
Do something like I did, make a single post in a single forum letting people know about it. Don't charge for it. Don't have any advertising to generate income... and watch the dozens of "Don't SPAM" messages come accross, with far stronger language than your saturday cartoons.
Too bad the article didn't mention what happens when you copy long filenames over the network. All kinds of crazy things happen in all kinds of client/server combinations.
Try copying a 40 character file from a windows server to a OSX client. What happens? Well... it depends if you used appletalk or SMB to connect with.
What about OSX server -> a windows client... depends on the version of windows AND OSX of course.
I've had nightmares.
Wanna be safe most of the time: 1) No spaces 2) Under 32 character filenames 3) Alphanumeric, underscore, period, or hyphen ONLY 4) Only a single period allowed.
You can put up a security anywhere you feel like. But as soon as you start recording audio, wiretapping laws come into play and you have to be a lot more careful about who & where you record.

Call #1 could end at 3:44:31... They bill you for 17 minutes Call #2 could start at 3:44:33.. They certainly don't give you 27 free seconds, so it "started" at 3:44
What you did on your call was equivalent to: "My Video Card is broken" to tech support.
Don't tell them the problem. Tell them the symptoms.
You: "My Monitor is blank" Them: Is your monitor plugged in? You: "Oh, wow.. it is. Thanks! I was worried my video card died."
2) You may make calls at any time that the Amazon Web Services are available, provided that you either: (i) do not exceed 1 call per second per IP address, or send files greater than 40K; or (ii) do not exceed the limits set forth in the Service Terms for a particular Service. If you build and release an Application, the stated limitations apply to each installed copy of the Application.
It's been argued that the melee itemization in the game is out of control and casters are falling more and more behind. Do you see this as a problem, and if so, what does blizzard plan to do about it?
The Author doesn't EVER have to give you the code.
The user is bound to the license, not him. So if you distribute the program, you need to provide source, but the author doesn't.
Weird, but I can release a program under the GPL, and not give code. Then you try to redistribute the program, the person you give it to asks for code, and you can't provide it. Things get sticky.
Good lord people, these documents aren't somehow gone. Go RTFA.
1. A while back they claimed a whole bunch of documents as privileged. 2. Now they don't.
What's "missing" is an explanation of why, not the documents themselved. Since they're not privleged, it would go to reason that IBM can now compell them to turn all of those over, only when they do this will we learn if the documents are missing.
I used to work for bookpool (4 or so months ago). They're a great group of people dedicated to serving the customer. Little known fact: They are on the Island of Martha's Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts!
Their prices are usually the best around, and they ship things out quick. So after the slashdotting, be sure to check them out for tech books.
I'm curious... how many people had heard of them before today?
Now that the apeal time has passed... do we expect MS to start up new and improved underhanded dealings?
If they did, it would be a hard sell for the government to bring another case against the giant. "Yeah, we got crap last time and spent a bazillion dollars on the prosecution, but this time will be better!"

A little later than the Win and Mac releases, but it'll be there.

I know it's illegal to destroy evidence in an ongoing investigation.
But is it illegal to conduct yourself in a way that won't create evidence specifically for the purpose of avoiding a future investigation?
I hope not.

Wheee, a blatant plug:

I've been doing exactly this, playing around with myspace as a target platform while I teach myself flash.
Sounds like someone hasn't tried a recent version of OSX.
With the intel processors, a Mac running OSX has just as good, if not better, desktop performance as any other computer I've used.

Nah, you're just the only ass who missed the point and commented on a is/isn't typo.

Come on guys, this is 3,000,000hz! That's like, wow.
Modern computers come with like 2.4 or something. This is wAY WAY faster, no way will we slashdot it.
Not quite...

Just cause some retired guy in an interview says it, doesn't make it true.
How much blizzard charges has very little to do with their costs. The game will cost consumers whatever the market will bear.
If you were running a game and 1000 people will play at $15 and 3000 will play at $5, which one would you pick?
So clearly the original poster wasn't an EQ player. Compared to sony, blizzard is angelic.
Now that the apeal time has passed... do we expect MS to start up new and improved underhanded dealings?
If they did, it would be a hard sell for the government to bring another case against the giant. "Yeah, we got crap last time and spent a bazillion dollars on the prosecution, but this time will be better!"
