  1. clockless society: asynchronous us on Clockless Computing? · · Score: 1

    What if we try to compare clocked work cycles in a cpu to the "punch the time clock"-ed work cycles of today's society. What would it take to evolve society off the "clock cycle"? Clocking time = money. If the work clock is removed, 40 hour work weeks go away, deadlines disappear, and so on. What percentage of work (and life) is spent being "on time" which is really unnecessary and could be be removed. Make sure you punch out the time clock if you're not allowed to read slashdot while at work!

  2. any open-source implementations of syncml in java? on SyncML 1.0 released; MAL Is Dead. · · Score: 1

    can someone point me to some open-source implementations of the syncml toolkit written in java? it looks like most to implementations are c/c++ and sun doesn't have any links to syncml in their search engine. thanks!

  3. inside poop on DotComGuy Survives His Year · · Score: 2

    i had a job offer to work with a dotcomguy sponsor/partner about this time of year one year ago when i used to live in dallas. it was with a small isp in dallas called coollink.com that was going to take over the streaming video service from broadcast.com. the guy i was talking with at coollink wanted me to write some java webserver software to insert ads into the video stream. aside from not being interested in the technology, he told me the dotcomguy was already running up huge bandwidth bills at broadcast.com. coollink took over as the isp of dotcomguy and was going to help pay some of his bills in exchange for the publicity. it sounded like a bad idea at the time, so i'm amazed the dotcomguy is around today. who knows how much he owes now. i doubt he's going to get all the $100k.
