Never used it, never cared. I had (and still have) solaris 8,9 and 10 64 bit on sun hardware at work and by the time used sun equipment was cheap enough for home, linux was pretty much better.
I was jonesing for a solaris box for home through the '90s. There were probably thousands of Sun desktops and servers at the company I worked for. The best I could do was a black and white 21 inch X monitor I used through my dial-up modem.
I'm not too sure there's any point in *Solaris at all anymore. Oracle seems determined to drive the HW/SW systems from Sun into the ground. (or even deeper into the ground) either through attrition or pricing.
Wait for the "REAL" android tablets. I'm guessing Q4 The Dell Streak is as close to decent (Well it's only 5 inches, and it will be shipping with 1.6 and it's AT&T only even if you pay full price, no unlocked models) as there is at the moment.
The tablets you refer to are not even licensed by google, which means no market. Android 1.7? WTF
Also all the ones at Kmart and DealExtreme have resistive screens.
The price point of 150 is kinda nice if you want a throw-away ebook reader/browser...
I have a G1, it's ok, I'm waiting for either one of the new dual core or a 2GHZ LTE phone before I upgrade/replace the G1.
In the interim I've been looking at these resistive screened devices. Still not there. Even at $100.
The $139 for the Nook/Kindle + $149-169 I didn't spend on one of is being banked for a "real" android 2.2 10 inch capacitive device later this year (Gingerbread would be even sweeter.)
The first image it conjures up in my mind is roofing materials.
I'm starting to see some android tablets coming out that may be close to worth buying (android 2.1, 1GHZ processor, 10.2" for $200-$300 US.) China is cranking out stuff like this any minute now.
And I hear you'll be able to cut and paste on them even.
I kinda want Bluetooth (keyboard) support and an IR port so I can run my home theater and I think I'll be twice as happy as I would be with an iPad.
In those moments where you're not quite sure if the undead are really dead, dead, don't get all stingy with your bullets. I mean, one more clean shot to the head, and this lady could have avoided becoming a human Happy Meal. Woulda... coulda... shoulda.
Yesterday an interesting HTTP DoS tool has been released. The tool performs a Denial of Service attack on Apache (and some other, see below) servers by exhausting available connections. While there are a lot of DoS tools available today, this one is particularly interesting because it holds the connection open while sending incomplete HTTP requests to the server.
In this case, the server will open the connection and wait for the complete header to be received. However, the client (the DoS tool) will not send it and will instead keep sending bogus header lines which will keep the connection allocated. The initial part of the HTTP request is completely legitimate:
GET / HTTP/1.1\r\n Host: host\r\n User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0;.NET CLR 1.1.4322;.NET CLR 2.0.503l3;.NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152;.NET CLR 3.5.30729; MSOffice 12)\r\n Content-Length: 42\r\n
After sending this the client waits for certain time – notice that it is missing one CRLF to finish the header which is otherwise completely legitimate. The bogus header line the tools sends is currently:
X-a: b\r\n
Which obviously doesn't mean anything to the server so it keeps waiting for the rest of the header to arrive. Of course, this all can be changed so if you plan to create IDS signatures keep that in mind.
According to the web site where the tool was posted, Apache 1.x and 2.x are affected as well as Squid, so the potential impact of this tool could be quite high considering that it doesn't need to send a lot of traffic to exhaust available connections on a server (meaning, even a user on a slower line could possibly attack a fast server). Good news for Microsoft users is that IIS 6.0 or 7.0 are not affected.
At the moment I'm not sure what can be done in Apache's configuration to prevent this attack – increasing MaxClients will just increase requirements for the attacker as well but will not protect the server completely. One of our readers, Tomasz Miklas said that he was able to prevent the attack by using a reverse proxy called Perlbal in front of an Apache server.
We'll keep an eye on this, of course, and will post future diaries or update this one depending on what's happening. It will be interesting to see how/if other web servers as well as load balancers are resistant to this attack.
I stopped reading newspapers (that I pay for) a long time ago. I still read the sunday paper, for the ads and comics.
Wire services, well there are always some online news services, and once Murdoch's empire has devalued totally, maybe google will buy them in bankruptcy.
Yeah, I have a G1. The charge will last a couple days without wifi, bluetooth and GPS on. Unfortunately to run Layers or any other VR software you need GPS and maybe 3G/Wifi.
It's not that horrible really, but if you go to all that trouble with cardboard and all, at least toss in a solar charger. I've been tempted a few times to grab a solar charger online just because...
Slashdot Mirror
Supply and demand. Now if he was scanning them and making torrents, that would be shameless.
Thanks, I played through the lite version in an hour or so...
I've got a G2 now and HSPA is noticeably faster than the 3g ever was...
So apple/RIM/MS/Google/Motorola/HTC are all in lawsuits against each other?
Why oh why didn't I get a law degree?
In other words, the only ones who are going to win in all this stupidity are the lawyers.
I looked at the lists I'm sure all involved will be offended.
I can think of a faster way. Take a small established company with a product that people want. Add MBA's until they
outnumber engineers and designers.
and it works in Linux with just a plugin and a browser restart
Now where's the android client?
Hunt them down and kill them all
Please
I'd think in a $90,000 vehicle you'd at least have a CTRL-ALT-DELETE key somewhere

Isn't this somehow linked to the report earlier today:

Nah, monkeys are easily countered by automated robot sentries and predator drones.
So Monkeys vs Robots.

It's close enough to usually understand. But I'm not sure if it's a computer translation or a bunch of pigeons typing to translate.
Don't think it's that complex. From June 2009:

What I am now waiting for:
7-10 inch touchscreen
wifi/Bluetooth
IR and RF (LOL Logitech) for controlling my home theater and home automation.
Linux/Android...
microsd support up to 128GB.
It would be nice if I could roll it up/fold it up and put it in my pocket.
Maybe a nice HDMI out with 1080P support.
Under $300 (USD).
You forgot Pluto.
Mod Points if I had em.
They mentioned altavista though.
How about what will be happening to SUN once the Oracle deal is "approved"
So, I was thinking,
SiliconDust HDHomeRun HDHR-US Dual Networked High Definition Digital Television
streaming to a dual core system running Myth backend.
I don't know if I could get away with a dual core atom box and some disk. I have a NAS
already so I could always mount that.
Front end, PS/3 to the bigger TV and some Original Xboxes I have around the house.
Does Myth Stream DLNA well?
I'm thinking about replacing the xboxes with something else.
I stopped reading newspapers (that I pay for) a long time ago. I still read the sunday paper, for the ads
and comics.
Wire services, well there are always some online news services, and once Murdoch's empire has
devalued totally, maybe google will buy them in bankruptcy.

Since most of these phones wouldn't last all day on a charge, how about adding
some solar cells on the top of the cardboard box?
Yay, apparently gutenberg often supports epub as well.
I've been reading ebooks on my G1, not too bad actually. Aldiko is what I'm currently using.
