  1. Don't be naive... on Paul Allen Amends Lawsuit Against Facebook, Apple · · Score: 1

    He clearly wants to loose.

  2. Re:Teach them C++ on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 1

    I would not let any student touch PHP with a ten-foot pole, but your statement is false, no webserver need, you can run PHP from command line.

  3. Re:Who says "we" are drawn to it? on Anti-Technology Themes in James Cameron's Avatar · · Score: 1

    As someone noted above, the military force in this particular situation was private and not governmental, however it was essentially the private armies of the British East and West India Companies that were responsible for most of the horrors of colonization by the British (I've never been too clear on the situation with the Spanish insofar as to whether or not they were regular military or not).

    From living at an Iberic ex-colony in South America, I can assure you that regular military is as greedy and corrupt as any private one.

  4. Pseudo-code recipe on Affordably Aggregating ISP Connections? · · Score: 1

    Lets suppose you have networks A and B. Given N cheap broadband connections on each side, lets call them A1, A2 ... A(N) and B1, B2 ... B(N)

    At host A, for each A(N), B(N) pair, you set:
    * a route for B(N)_IP via A(N)_Gateway
    * a VPN link with source address A(N)_IP and destination B(N)_IP
    * a static route for private networks behind B via each A(N)->B(N) virtual interface

    Repeat for host B and each B(N), A(N) pair.

    Problem: if each link has very distinct latencies, you will end up with package streams arriving at the other side heavily out of order. Tune your TCP stack accordingly.

  5. Openlaszlo X Macromedia Flex X MS Silverlight on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    I think OpenLaszlo is going to eat Flex and Silverlight lunch because it's multi-runtime.

    The same code generates identical apps in DHTML, Flash or potentially any other runtime.

  6. Re:BIRT Over Crappy COGNOS on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    I dont know much about BIRT, but both tools seems to have very similar feature lists.

    I know Jasper well, and I love iReport. It's 5 minutes to master if you are used to something like Crystal Reports. The jrxml format used by Jasper is very easy to generate from other tools.

    I'm really a fanboy.

  7. check also Jasper Reports and OpenLaszlo on Best Open Source Alternatives To Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    Check also Jasper Reports and iReport (http://jasperforge.org/). It's a Crystal Reports killer. It's Java, but I managed to write a small servlet which receives the jrxml path/filename and other parameteres via HTTP and it spits out the report in PDF, XML and other formats. That way I can integrate it with PHP or any other framework able to communicate using HTTP. Another interesting tool is OpenLazslo (http://www.openlaszlo.org/). It is a RAD (rich internet application) framework posed to compete with Macromedia Flex and Microsoft Silverlight. Unlike these two, Openlaszlo is multi-runtime, generating applications in DHTML, Flash and (potentially) even Silverlight.
