Java IDEs?

Netbeans (an offshoot of Forte).
NetBeans isn't an offshoot of Forte. NetBeans is the open source project that Forte is based upon. Saying NetBeans is an offshoot of Forte is like saying Mozilla is an offshoot of Netscape Navigator.
Netbeans is dog slow, too.
Might not be the fastest thing on earth, but it's not that slow. I mean, come on...it's an IDE, not a web server. How fast does it really need to be?
I use NetBeans every day. I wouldn't try to run it on a 486 or anything, but I do run it on three different machines (a 400mhz/256mb Ultra 5, an 850mhz/256mb PC, and a 700mhz/384mb PC), and on all of them it's a bit slow starting up, but after that it's pretty responsive. Again, not greased lightning or anything...
I've tried VisualAge for Java (IBM), JBuilder, SGI's Jesse, and one or two others I can't recall right now. NetBeans is one of the best I've ever seen, even before you consider that it's completely free (beer). JBuilder is nice, too, if you have the cash to pay for it.
this just simply does not work. I have tried with netscape 6.1 and evolution. it times out.
I use it every day, both from inside work (from my Ultra 5), and from home. It is decidedly faster when I'm at work...no timeouts. From home I get timeouts a lot, but if I keep plugging at it, it lets me in usually about the third or fourth try. I certainly won't disagree that it has room for improvement (it really needs to be scaled up), but it does work.
A) Reverse engineer the AOL mail protocol so that external programs can at least READ AOL mail (sending, unsending, and AOL custom features are optional)
It's just a set of IMAP servers. There's no secret about it. If you use Netscape 6.x, it gives you the option to set up an account to retrieve your AOL mail, and it does this by setting you up to do it via IMAP.
The most sensible solution may well be for them to abandon HPUX, Tru64 et al and embrace Linux as the one-and-only *nix OS.
Ever seen an HP SuperDome? The two current models will go 32-way and 64-way. The next two coming down the pipe will do 128 and 256 (processors). I can't imagine what the cost would be to get the Linux kernel to a place where it can handle that kind of hardware the way HP-UX already does.
...the Sklyarov case is confusing because he was arrested while visiting the United States to talk at DefCon about his program that allows users to convert Adobe eBooks into other formats. The last time I checked, U.S. citizens weren't subject to Russian laws.
I wonder if he meant to say, Russian citizens aren't subject to U.S. laws?
I had this idea earlier. It'd most certainly be illegal (even though you could convincingly argue that it shouldn't be), but it would still be fun, and probably effective if enough people used it.
I thought, why not write a servlet/JSP/cgi/whatever that detected an inbound hit from a Code Red infected server, and responded by using the same vulnerability to turn around and turn off the worm on the offending box?
Like I said, probably illegal...but a cool concept, I think. If I had the time I might put a servlet together, but I don't, and it's probably too late for today's attack anyways.
While I do agree with what you're saying about techno-wannabes, I have to disagree with this statement:
Only the cookbook dotcomers are being laid off right now.
At the beginning of the downturn, that was true. But it's not the case anymore. I have three friends out there who are out of work right now. One of them is a Solaris/AIX admin with about ten years of experience, and he's *really* sharp. The other two are very good DBA's, one with about 9 years and the other with something like 20. They're having trouble even getting interviews. It's just plain bloody over there right now. Noone is safe. I'm personally thanking my lucky stars that I fled to the east coast about two months ago, and am happily employed here. (That Solaris/AIX admin I mentioned worked for the same company I did, and was laid off just a couple weeks after I left along with dozens of others.)
But as for everything you said about techno-wannabies, rock on my brother.
I moved to the Bay Area just over a year ago from MI, and I've been wanting to go back ever since. I used to think Michigan was a bad place to be...then I lived in Cali. I miss home, but the job market for guys like me (Solaris SysAdmin) just isn't really there. If it were, I'd jump back there in a heartbeat.
One of the interesting things about MS's non-compete agreement, is that it goes both ways. They actually make you sign a paper that states that you will not use any former employer's intellectual property in your duties at MS. They don't want the liability.
(I interviewed there, and turned down an offer, but I received the paperwork before I made my decision)
In the literary world, there's what's known as a "poor man's copyright", where you take a copy of your manuscript and mail it to yourself through certified/registered mail (so it gets a date and lots of cool official-looking USPS stamps on it) and then DON'T open it. That way if it comes up in court, you can present your unopened, dated manuscript and prove that you had it at such-and-such date.
Maybe you could do this with a printout of your source code, or a floppy disk or CD-ROM for the same effect.
By the way, lock-picking sets in the hands other than a lock-smith's is illegal.
Common misconception. In many states there is no such thing as a "licensed" locksmith. Anyone who wants to can call themselves a locksmith and open up shop. And the tools aren't illegal to own anyways. At least, this was the case in the state I was a locksmith in for three years (Michigan). I'm not sure what the law is where I am now (California), but I still have my large set of picks, and I intend to keep them, though I'm no longer a practicing locksmith.

Isn't that what they call a rave?

RMS has a few, doesn't he?

d'oh. I spoke too soon. There didn't *used* to be an AOL client for NT. =)
There is no AOL client for NT.

You mean megabits, didn't you? Ignore me.

Well, 512 kilobytes isn't 5 meg per second, it's a half a meg per second. But you're right, I think they probably meant kilobits.
