I've tried bochs, it is slow. I've tried virtuabox, it's better than bochs. I have heard if you have a nac that parallels is the way to go. I personally use vmware. I have vm's at work for windows7 on my mac, and at home I have ubuntu 64 and virtualized windows 7 64bit and winNT4. Oh and I have fedora 32 bit on my ubuntu and ubuntu 32 bit on my mac. Both host os machines are 64 bit os and cpus.
I do recommend that you get a minimum of 8Gig of ram and have enough disk space for the vms. Think 500Gig hard drive or larger. Also get as fast a CPU as you can. I got an amd quad core 3.4Ghz CPU. Windows 7 actually runs ok in the VM. I'm not a gamer, and there is a free version of vmware if you don't want to pay and it is still pretty good.
The real issue here is that these bozos are sueing each other over software patents and all of this crap is kind of obvious to software developers that have 1/2 a brain. I start reading this crap and think OMG are they really allowing this stuff in patents now? WTF! I blame the patent examiners for not knowing which end of a computer is up.
I used to work there and in the mid 1990's many examiners refused to answer their email and were required to check it once a day.
they kind of already do, it's a paid service though. t-mobile allows you to block text messages but it is about a $5 a month service. I don't think I should have to pay to NOT receive spam texts. I text with friends not all that other crap that goes on and if t-mobile blocks those sites from spaming my limited # of text messages I'm ok with that. As long as they do not block my friends from txtn me
this/. post makes no sense. no downloading code? so no embedding a web browser in a ui that downloads javascript code? Did/. f this up and misunderstand again? Sorry I'm not an apple developer, so I'm not reading their license
and people like him. If you go out and buy an iphone, ipad, itouch, or whatever and it does not support flash and you want flash and the full web experience, then by doing so you are supporting devolution.
I'm not saying that they are not great devices or whatever if you buy one you know what you are getting or should. If you don't it is your own fault. It's called supply and demand. Apple is suppling what people are demanding and even if it falls short in an area or two most people are happy with what they get.
.. I looked at my data plan and I have unlimited. I use about 200mb a month on my phone. I think most people do not use much more than that, and I have talked to a few people I know. Yes skype and other voip will loose this one as it means it will cost for that by bandwidth.
Few people actually use more than 2 gig and that is a lot of data. On a home land line you are getting os updates which can be huge, but on cell phones the apps are small and the updates are small too, so the bandwidth is much less. Unlimited plan for all means that certain few that use HUGE amounts of bandwidth are paying less per byte than those that use less bandwidth.
Figure everyone paying 50 a month. (USD) The person that uses 5 gig is paying 10/gig, but the person that uses 2G is paying 25/gig. The person that uses only 200mb is now paying 50 for.2Gig.
Unfortunately the opposite effect comes into play for the phone companies. If someone is paying for 2Gig then they will want to USE that 2G every month. So if their unlimited bandwidth has them at using 300mb and they don't want to get att's 200mb plan then they will get the att's 2Gig plan. As with cell minutes people think they need to use them all ( att's selling point on rollover minutes ). So people who use 300mb may start now using closer to 2G because they feel they are getting cheated.
It's funny because companies used to charge per mb to start with and had small plans.
Oh and basically what this is all about is the iphone now has a camera in the front for video. ATT's network cannot handle the extra bandwidth of everyone using it so that will become a premium service. Under a 2G + video plan at some point I am sure. Also verizon is thinking that it will end up with some video capable phones soon too, so they are gearing up.
I'd suggest people look at how much bandwidth they actually use on their phones before complaining too much.
many big companies have built their apps on ie6. Maybe what they should be focusing on is an IE6 emulation layer in IE9. So you can set your IE9 web browser to act like IE6 on certain sites, or even embed IE6 rendering engine in IE9. That way these companies can still do their business. An alternative would be to allow IE6 and IE9 installed side by side or have an IE6 emulator. That way when people need to run their corporate apps in IE6 they can use the emulator and then when people need to actually use the web they can use IE9.
I can think of 2 companies that they could start with and that would actually fix one of my clients issues too.
Well I guess I wont be downloading a tetris app for my android any time soon. What else will they think of blocking or removing from these markets. Maybe there needs to be an open market for smart phones like getjar.
I've noticed everyone says lifelock is a scam. Well they caught the fact that the information was exposed! It is a start. The question is will they catch anyone who tries to use the ssn and birth date and other information to steal her identity?
One thing people here should think about, is that the owner is ok with putting out his info, but maybe an employee does not want to always have to have that lingering thought of what if. I know I wouldn't if it were me.
Having never used lifelock and I doubt anyone here has and I have yet to hear about anyone who has used them having their identity stolen this story is just kind of a "let's make fun of" / "let's trash" story than a real story. If the story went something like after this information was posted 30 people assumed the identity of the woman and she is now unable to get her identity back, then I could see a real story here. So far they are doing what one would expect them to do, which is trying to keep peoples information private.
If someone says here is a problem and they want you to look at it, get into the code and look at all the issues you can before asking questions, but don't spin your wheels too much. Nobody likes to have to hold someones hand all the time. Companies want free thinkers, unless you are in india, in which case they want worker bees that do as they are told.
First it is always about money. Don't bye the hype, Steve still wants more and so do those apple folk, but who doesn't! If flash is on the ipad/iphone/itouch/ipod then games and applications can be written in flash and the whole itunes store is bipassed. If that happens apple looses money. At that point they become a hardware company.
The second issue is control. Apple is a control freak company. One thing that has got them success is that they control so much of what people have access to in the way of hardware / software especially on their ip/it devices. By keeping this control in their hands they can make sure that the user has a good experience at least with the software ( for the most part ). Let's face it they have shown how much they like control by banning developers and apps from the itunes app store.
yes he is a troll. I have used grails and guess what? It is in many ways like rails. In fact grails was modelled after rails, but also gives you the power of the java language. Grails is also not that old. It is a really cool language. It is not java either it is based on groovy which is a scripting language that looks in may ways like ruby, but because it runs under the jvm you can access your java api's by writing java like code. So you get all the OOP stuff from java, but in a scripting language. It is really very interesting but as with any scripting language there is a cost in performance vs writing something in java. Function calls have a huge overhead even if they are in the same class.
This has little to do with look and feel, nothing to do with Java or C#, it's all about apple wants complete and total control and wants to limit what apps are out there and flash, java, and other programming languages pose a HUGE financial threat to their making money.
Apple will cave, and flash games will suddenly work around the apple store, and eventually java games will too.
What if they discover there is a gay gene? Would 'curing' gay people still be ok? What if there is a gene that makes people 'republican' ( it has been discussed as a stubbornness gene ), would that be ok, or one that makes some a liberal? I get the argument with colour-blindness, my brother is colour blind. I think the question should be do these people want a cure? I'm sure some blind people do, but there may be some that are ok being blind. I think the question is do these people want to change not weather we should be able to change them or not.
but none run OS X the full OS. What I was hoping for was basically apple taking their imac and making it 1/2 as thick and touch screen. Also the cost price point in tablets have never been 'in range'
PC around $500 (some less some more) affordable to all
laptop $800 (some less some more) affordable to all, netbooks cheaper
tablet $1500 (few less, most more)
Ok if my number are slightly off, the point is that tablets that have full os would cost more than laptop and offer only a little in way of portability. But this is changing now, so we will see if tablets take off and if the ipad ( I still think of mad tv skit) rules that world or not.
no seriously. there are people that like hard copies of everything to file. I don't but some do. Also there are some places that require paperwork, especially us government agencies.
I actually worked at a medical online company that sent me through hippa and I dnd't see a single medical record while I was there. How could google miss that?
Stop the patent trolls from holding on to patents just to sit around and sue people. The whole point of having a patent on something is to use it in the market place and license it to others so that you can make money off of it. If you are not doing that then you should loose it!

I guess techies don't play doom, wow, and chess and all those other strategy games that teach those kind of skills?

I wonder if a similar principal could be used to purify water after an oil spill?

is probably the only answer. force facebook to play nice with peoples information
seriously, I wouldn't mind one like that because my system wont boot from external usb drive, but will boot from external floppy :(

most of that information is publicly available. what you want is a mashup of the info from openstreetmap and local government information.

I wonder what they think of motoblur which shows all my facebook contacts and just their status and not all that other crap.
they will, and it will be a big mess
PC around $500 (some less some more) affordable to all
laptop $800 (some less some more) affordable to all, netbooks cheaper
