Your right, in that "best" was a horrible and general word to use.
But I was refering to it being (AFAIK) the only container to implement EJB2.0, currently.
True, it isn't the most efficient, but it is the most advanced, currently.
This is really odd considering JBoss (open source) is the best J2EE webcontainer out there. Granted, it isn't part of the apache group, but is mostly used with apache webserver and the jakarta (apache subproject) tomcat servlet container.
Maybe the "big wig" J2EE containers (IBM's Websphere, and BEA's WebLogic) are getting on Sun's back because of this??
Yeah, your distro might be secure, but the illuminati can watch you type, and can enter your hardware. It'll just be a matter of time until they can read the software indirectly.
Do what I do. Compute ONLY in your head! They'll never get that data!!
The fact is, everyone is human, everyone has a bias. News will always have a bias, unless news is delived from TWO people. Two people with opposite biases.
Sure, you can say money is the reason that information is bad. But the internet kills most of that idea, doesn't it?
Tap into a DB of shows from other viewing habits? Not likely. That's private data.
Think about it. The "thumbs up, thumbs down" feature. Its to add extra weight to the shows that you've "thumbed up." I honestly think it'd be easier to code, more efficient, and less "legal shadow" to use a neural net instead of a DB search that you are infering. I should probably ask in the tivo forums about this. But if it isn't your standard run-of-the-mill neural net, I'd be really surprised.
the TiVo will scan the listings for stuff that it thinks you'll like and then record it.
This is really simple to emulate. Every movie has like 100 topics. Each movie falls under certain topics with certain weights. From there, its a simple neural net.
The hard part? The person that has to put the "topic wieghts" on each movie + show.
This is a typical response to a person without a PVR. The biggest advantage of the TiVo is downloading the channel lineups. Unless you can somehow get a program to d/l the yahoo channel listings, along with all programs in the future, I think it'll be a difficult transition...
It's exciting seeing so much headway being made so fast, and evidence that this is one heck of a machine.
Umm... been done on a TiVo. I don't get how this is so great and fast of a hack... Its like Overclocking the newest CPU. The first time it was new and interesting, now its just old news...
Seeing as I'd have the most fun having these guys dance around while I'm at work, I must ask when a possible WinPort is available (I can't change my work OS, so don't bother asking why)? I'd read the site, but it got bombed in like 2 seconds of the posting.
Also, isn't Q2 a touch old now? Do people make skins and stuff for Q2 anymore?
Don't buy a copy of _Catcher in the Rye_!
IIRC, that's the book from Conspiracy Theory. Apparently, a couple of famous assassins (Lee Harvey, and someone else?) read that book before their assassinations.
Anyway, the same thing happened in the movie (FBI checking out who buys certain books). Freaky.
The adventure series died. Look at the latest Kings Quest, or Quest for Glory V. No one bought them.
They need to make it have an incredible plot like a Resident Evil-type game, or a FPS.
Don't get me wrong, I was born and bred on adventure games, but I don't think they'll be able to sell enough if they "stick to their guns", and do it the way they always have...
I hit the karma cap WAAAY before I started posting about elitists/zealots. I'm currently at the cap, but I'm sure it has more to do with the articles I've submitted (check hof). I'm sorry you think I haven't added something. Eventually, I hope the community will change the way they post, and I feel I will have added something very big.
Is anyone else getting tired of easy karma-whoring by continuing to hammer slashdot on the bias issue?
Heh. Easy Karma Whoring you say??
Easy Karma Burning is more like it.
I'm not bringing up biases; I'm bringing up elitism and zealotry.
Elitism: I'm sick of people saying "Linux is great" then when people talk about making it mainstream, immediately they say "No!". They love linux being small, and love that they are in the 'select few' communities that can understand it.
Zealotous: Linux is Good, Windows is bad. Yet, the last time they use windows was Windows 95 before OSR2. Then they comment on articles like these about security issues they've only read from a biased news source (yes, I agree slashdot is biased, but that's not what I attack).
When I read Taco's posts (not article comments, but posts), he's a true advocate of Linux. There are quite a few advocates still on here. They love linux, don't care what MS is doing (or care, but doesn't bash), understand the idea of "Use the tool that works best for the situation", and aren't angry or violent. Then there are the rest: Elitists, Zealots (both can be for either OS, mind you), Trolls, Crapflooders. I will continue bringing these posts up when I see it happen a lot in one article. And don't worry, I get modded down eventually. Keep in mind, I'm not a "windows lover", I'm just anti-zealot/elitist. I also rant about it in my journal, and see that many people share my opinion. The only karma whoring happening, is your disagreement to my post.
Just like internet appliances. It'll take the household by storm! People will have one of these in each room of their house, cause they are so cheap!!
Slashdot has an article that's a vaporware salespitch.
Why do I like my TiVo? Cause of two things, I type the SHOW NAME (not the time or channel), and it records the show. And I use the "thumbs up/down" system long enough that my "TiVo suggestions" are full of shows I enjoy.
Both of those aren't on this new system. Plus, I don't want to hookup my TV to my computer. I don't want to watch TV on my computer, I want to watch it on my large screen TV while lounging on my couch!
You are correct, but this opinion will be drown in the sea of "No way! M$ sucks!" replies (and when slashdot posts a troll like "Windows is better", it gets about 400 replies). Its funny how people back security focus when it talks about MS vulnerabilities, but once it mentions Linux, they are "Uniformed" or a variety of other things (just read from any other thread to see what I mean).

Now what song on my ocarina do I play to get this??
... is this the triforce of power, courage, or wisdom?!?!?

If you want apple, why not go to the apple sites instead of /.???
Weak argument.
BTW - notice all the MS bashing already.
Would you think differently if it was Sony? Nintendo?
Playstation made it so you couldn't play japanese playstation games.
I don't see the big deal, here. If Japan wants to sell controlers, they'll make them with the appropriate "US" USB settings.
Or people will make an adapter, like the modchip.
BUT... What if I want some MS stories for the MS population? Obviously its as big as the mac population (I'd bet on it).
I'd really like to know the statistics on slashdot.
Give me the stats of how many Unix vs Linux vs Mac vs Windows to tell me what a "Sizeable Apple Community" is versus the MS Community...
Warning, Slashdot Conspiracy Theory:
I think someone just wanted to use the new apple icons...
Yeah, your distro might be secure, but the illuminati can watch you type, and can enter your hardware. It'll just be a matter of time until they can read the software indirectly.

Oh shit... the orderly is comi...
Isn't slashdot an example of disinformation?
Its regurgatated storied from these "bad" sites.
Not to mention the bias.

Also has a pic of the cat. Its named "Cc:" (seriously).

...and you bought it.
;-)
This is just a ploy to kill all the "CmdrTaco is Gay" crapfloods
Best of luck to the both of you Taco. Might I suggest DisneyWorld for the honeymoon. Its where my wife & I went, and it was great.
