Actually what you are referring to is not spam. O'Reilly are not spamming you if they are writing to you directly. In that case everybody who writes to someone without having met the person first would be classified as a spammer. Actually now that I think of it - this comment I'm writing to you now could be spam!
Of cause O'Reilly should respect your whiches not to be contacted if you reply to the e-mail in question. You don't write if you have actually tried that? - you said you just deleted it?
I use Dubli. They are kind of like eBay + that they have regular shops there at well (and I like the way they make sure you don't get f***** by the seller and vice-verca): http://www.dubli.com/
"...as they currently don't see sufficient numbers in the platform to make a good business case for it."
Is this the hen and the egg all over again? I mean... the only reason why I havent made the complete shift from Windows to Linux is the fact that then I cant run Adobe software - thats it.
I was a bit to quick there... You are right. I was looking at their newest one (the D6)... The one reported here on Slashdot is their older model that only supports 1 drive:(
On their homepage they say that "Dvine 6 supports Micro ATX motherboard, three 3.5-inch storage devices and two 5.25 inch optical devices."... With three drives you can get quite far:)
I've been searching the web for books about programming in SDL - But I havent been so lucky to find anything yet... So does someone know of a good book on this subject?
Just a thought... If you have to rewrite your Java code, it might be because that it wasn't written well in the first place. Of cause we all know, that if we write something in M$ java, it will only be able to run on a Windows PC. But if we write some Java code based on Sun's Java specifications, we have a piece of code, that needs no rewriting.... and just another thought: If a programmer makes some good Java code, that runs well and stuff, the user of the program (or the webpage) won't see that it is Java. But if the programmer makes some bad, slow Java code, then user will right away see that its java (u know: "Loading Java..." for example, if we are talking applets). Then here is my point: Every time people use some bad Java code they see it's Java right away, but if they use some good Java code, they don't even regencies that they are running Java! (because it runs just as well as a program written in C/C++ or another good/fast language) - That could be one of the reasons why Java have such a bad reputation and why it's having such trouble getting rid of it... but who am I to know?

Actually it is not in beta yet, but alpha - invitation only (hence the sign-in address http://alpha.measuremap.com/). A colleague of mine wrote about the purchase earlier today and what consequences this might hold for the future of web statistics. We have used Measure Map on our blog since the middle of January.
