Entity beans are all about transactions. You've got a transaction context that can propogate over several beans. The EJB container doesn't do this on it's own, however. It uses the ACID properties of the database along with the database's commitment control mechanisms to accomplish the properties you mentioned. Entity beans are usually mapped to tables, and could represent a join in the BMP case. That said I'm not sure if you're saying EJB will benefit from using this as a backend, or that EJB did this first? The latter is false, but the former... I'm not sure this technology will benefit entity beans, but may benefit STATEFUL SESSION beans because they're less RDBMS-centric.
You're holding your breath for a Lucasfilm "Star Wars" cartoon that doesn't suck? Let's see where there's precedent. You've got the short in the Holiday Special, which actually seems good (even though it isn't) next to the wretched filth of the rest of the special. Then you've got "Ewoks" and "Droids", both of which that despite being based on the immensely popular star wars world and characters, failed miserably due to general suckage.
Now, after "Phantom Menace" and "Attack of the clones", you expect these new shorts to be good? Sorry, the writing is on the wall, and that's not what it says. I'm not going to bother.
Keep holding your breath though... it saves oxygen.
Hm... I thought the terms of the license are written in terms of physical hardware on the server and number of connected clients... I.e. Up to two processors on the same machine plus 20 "clients". That would mean that I could run as many virtual copies on those same two CPUs as I wanted, as long as no more than 20 clients were connected to the totality of them. I could be wrong about this though... Am I?
Don't complain. I'd much rather be on a flight without a meal than one with. I can't stand the smell of airplane food, let alone the thought of eating it. The unfortunate thing is that a large portion of your airfare goes toward your meal. It's very expensive to serve a hot meal during flight. Woudn't it be great if they stopped serving meals, and dropped the ticket prices with the money saved? People could just buy food before getting on the plane?

$150 for cables?
I knew Monster cables were a racket, but DAMN, I need to buy stock in that company. Is that best buy sales associate going to try to sell me an extended warranty for my cables?
I think of civilization and technology as a major/minor cycle. Technology doesn't always advance... sometimes it's lost. Sometimes entire advanced civilizations are wiped out and a hunter-gather society emerges in its stead. Now imagine this happening to the whole of civilization. Imagine we DO go to Europa, and leave behind a streptococcus. We then lose spacefaring technology for a period of a million years, then regain the technology to complete the cycle.
The new civilization travels to Europa, and finds... simple creatures with earthlike amino chains! At that point we will have discovered extraterrestrials.
Of course one has to wonder if the earth-europa contamination hasn't already happened millions of years ago by an ancient civilization now forgotten. Or perhaps it was vice versa... spooky.
I'm afraid you're wrong here. Before I switched to Plextor drives I had countless problems with drive compatibility of the CDs I burned. When I would burn a VCD, I would get countless data-loss artifacts... when I'd burn an audio CD, I'd get pops and crackes in the music. Plextor drives put your data on your CD exactly the way you master it. Maybe that's true of some other companies, but it's certainly NOT true of the majority.
The efficiency differences will be debated forever... the common wisdom is that FTP is more efficient, but there is also evidence to the contrary. That isn't the point.
To me, this is a problem of authentication. If you want EVERYONE to have these files, why not just use the HTTP server? If you're targeting a select few people, then why not use the built-in authentication mechanisms of FTP?
Yes I know there are authentication mechanisms for HTTP, but they're arguably harder to implement than setting up an FTP server.
Are your clients only using web browsers to retrieve these files? I'll get flamed for this, but web browsers were not designed for FTP, and thus are klunky at it. HTTP wins there again.
Don't worry about it. Just use HTTP and let the FTP bigots flame away.
First of all, I agree that it's ridiculous to ask it to break even.... but I can see some of the rationale. The Presidio is NOT a national park, it's part of the Golden Gate National recreation area. It's NOT a pristine woodland, but rather a former millitary base. Money is needed to continue the de-comissioning... building facilities for park goers, demolishing hazardous buildings, keeping up historic buildings. There's no good way to charge admission to it, and the city of SF has the expense of golden gate park to worry about.
The over commercialization did harm to Star Trek? You must be joking. ST was designed as a purely commercial venture. It's first incarnation was a prime-time TV show designed to capitalize on the average joe's hunger for western themes. They just swapped in space as a setting after the Apollo project killed the target market's interest in the visual aspects of cowboys and indians. That said, I don't think it's possible to "commercialize" Star Trek.
I agree with your point though... the depth and character of Dune can only be poorly represented on the screen. On the other hand, I thought the same thing about the Lord of the Rings, but the Two Towers was very, very good.
Avoid the NOID: advergames in 1989

Advergames

· Score: 2, Informative
This is an old concept. Back in the heyday of shareware gaming, there was Avoid the Noid, which was an "advergame" put out by Domino's pizza. Basically you had to scramble through a building with a pizza while the noid tried to foil you by blowing you up in various ways. Man it was cool. I need a pizza.
Anyway the point: It didn't take off then, so why would it take off now that PC gaming is in some ways past it's prime?
I live in San Mateo, and though there's an argument for injury in SF, down here that really isn't the case. Even in downtown San Mateo, the sidewalks are rarely packed. San Mateo is also quite spread out as opposed to SF, so the odds that someone would actually use a SegWay are pretty small. In addition, the area I live in is so hilly that I'm quite doubtful a segway could even get me home from the grocery store. All in all, San Mateo even being concerned about this is just an effort to get the town's name in the news.
Those tests are very end user (luser) specific. Yes it's true that the majority of people running games on Windows won't benefit a bit from HT... neither would those people benefit from ordinary SMP. That's why Intel left HT disabled in all P4 models until recently. Server workloads are very different, where every decent app makes heavy use of threads, and therefore benefits much more from HT (and SMP). The IBM tests are pertinent to servers and some power users.
I predict this device will change the world the same way the calculator watch did.
When the calculator watch came out in 1977, it truly changed the world. No longer would people have to struggle to calculate restaraunt tips, taxes on purchased goods, and their current gas mileage. Today, you'll hardly find anyone without one.
Um... you're a little off. Java and WebSphere were ported to AS/400 and (IBM was pushing that) many years before they ported linux to it. There's no reason you can't use another app server or the free, bundled version of WebSphere.
Wish I were trolling here buddy. Unfortunately on slashdot, the minute you say something about a competitor of a large company, you get branded as a troll. I really feel there are quality issues with either AMD (or as this poster indicated) the VIA chipset for the reasons I presented. Thanks for your support of unpopular opinions. It's people like you that make democracy great.
By "give out completely" I mean crash the system, and never boot again. When I put a fresh CPU in, it works fine. Maybe this is thermal death? Maybe the mobo sent it a nasty power spike? I'm at a loss.
For CPU coolers, I've been using Thermaltake volcano (with stock thermal grease), which are supposed to be highly rated. I tried underclocking a 1700+, but it recently died on me too. Nedless to say, I'm not trusting another chip to that motherboard, but I'm getting really tired of replacing parts.
Well, that's possible. However, I DID manage to build a dual celeron system, overclock the living hell out of it, and keep it running crash-free for 4 years. I've built and used systems with intel CPUs trouble-free for many years before that. I only started to have trouble recently.
Which motherboards are you using? I'm beginning to think SOYO may be my problem.
Any suggestions on where to mail myself? I'm thinking of hawaii but can't find a company that will pay for postage.
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I don't believe it's the power supply or RAM since I've got two independent power supplies from two independent manufacturers. I don't believe it's the RAM for the same reasons. I don't believe bad RAM would smoke my CPUs anyway. Maybe it's not that AMD itself sucks, maybe the chipset manufacturers are coordinating badly with AMD? I don't know. You explain it.
No, I don't work for intel. I have no loyalty to them (which is why I'm seriously considering switching to apple hardware)
Maybe the Asus motherboards are the key? I've been using SOYO. I only wish I was making up the problems I'm having... But if all I have to do is replace the motherboards, I'm happy (that's cheaper than replacing the CPUs too). Does anyone else think this would work?
I recently converted from using intel chips (I had a dual celeron linux box and a P200 windows box) to Athlon XPs... I've had nothing but trouble since. I've had two athlon chips give out on me completely, random crashes even under linux, IDE controller problems, startup problems, etc. This isn't just a bad motherboard since both computers are giving me problems. It isn't just the chipset since each motherboard has a distinct chipset (AliMagick and VIA respectively). This experience has led me to believe that AMD chips and motherboards are simply below the quality standard I need, and I've started saving my cash for P4 or celeron motherboards and chips. I just don't have the time to deal with junk hardware. Maybe I'll just give up and switch to Apple.
The latest iteration of Mozilla is actually quite good. It crashes less than IE, renders pages very well, supports tabbed browsing and can quickly and easily disable pop-ups. The biggest selling point, of course, is that it works on Linux! Real open source project or no, I'm grateful it's there.

Using windows would almost double their budget, so I think it's fair to say it can only be done cheaply and legally with a free OS.
