No, No, No, you are all wrong! It happened because their IT boys thought that if they could convince the execs to build it, it could double as their own personal dedicated UT Server!
When have prices ever come down because the demand increases?
Man, have you ever even bought a computer? We have watched PC prices fall as demand increased since the days of the PET. For that matter, what about VCR's, CD Players, and Walkmans?
Consumer demand=lower prices.
WAP, Java, and the "wireless web"
on
WAP Under Fire
·
· Score: 1
We run a small Dev. hut, and we have just recently ventured into WAP. I must say, WAP sucks.
WMLscript is so bad that when we were developing a few simple card games, we got so frustrated, that we scrapped our script, and wrote a Java Servelet to gennerate all the WML content on the fly. With the expectations consumers now have of us developers, it is going to be VERY difficult to keep wireless users happy untill something is done about this standard.
What really excites us, is non-WAP relient devices, such as RIM These things are very compact, not super powerfull, but impressive enough.
Unfortunatly, we are about to enter what might be one of the biggest quarters that wireless has ever seen, which will do a good job of poluting the environment with Legacy Phone, dependant on the WAP standard for access to the Web.
WAP may suck, but it is going to be around for a while.
Actually, GPS was scrambled to the point that you could only get a reading accurate within 100 or so meters. This would make location specific, targeted advertising difficult too say the least. Now that Consumer level GPS systems are able to give pin point (or close to it) accuracy, we will be seing lots of this. How about GPS tracking on City Busses, connected to the web, you would never miss the bus again! Or even using GPS to keep track of the Kids at disney world?
Man, this is a big step forward for GPS, and will only serve to create some fantastic new products.
Is this going to take off? Can you imagine what this will do to the Technology Gap?? Oh man, I see some issues with this... But on the other hand, we run our business out of a house, and It sure would reduce the cable maze that snakes through the halls.
Ok, and I have to ask... Could I buy up an entire city block of these houses, and create a Beowolf Cluster... hehehe
Ol' Bill G. don't look so cool with his Smart House now does he?
Saying that MP3 quality is as good as CD is like saying a DiVX ripped Movie is as good as the origional DVD. Sure, mp3 quality is pretty good, but it is NOWHERE near CD quality.
What is the real diffrence (from a security standpoint) between Free BSD and OpenBSD.
The reason I ask, is that we are about to launch an app where users will be connecting through our Firewall. We currently run a Linux (redhat) server which acts as lan/web/firewall/UT server, and we are about to do a MAJOR upgrade. So I'll get to the point. We have been advised to go with a dedicated machine running *BSD as our firewall, which seems logical and secure, but we are unsure as to which BSD Variant to go with.
I apologize in advance for my lack of/. purity, but at least I know a little Linux.:)
First, I'd like to see these "numbers" that say the linux comunity could produce enough sales to pay for the port.
As for giving them a good reason to port games to Linux, try promoting Linux in a positive light, instead of jumping on the windows bashing bandwagon.
We all know that windows is a lacking opperating system, but it is still the most versatile (not flamebait) OS out there. (at least in terms of software support.)
My solution is a dual boot, don't worry, that windows CD won't bite.:)
Slashdot Mirror
HERE
Java, Java, Java. Damn OS dependacies!
The ultimate Java app.
I just can't wait to see how they explain the change in Darth from young Anakin(sp?) to James Earl Jones... sort of reverse M. Jackson?
Probably with a little CGI?
oh man... there goes my Karma...
Maybe we can replace George Lucas with a CGI Director...
Just a thought...
No, No, No, you are all wrong! It happened because their IT boys thought that if they could convince the execs to build it, it could double as their own personal dedicated UT Server!
Maybe we can successfully slashdot a bar? Now that would be funny!
Man, 20 years? well, I bet we will still be arguing whether it should run Linux on Windows by the time these puppy's hit the market...
You know, they may have a point... that is a pretty shitty website. Totally disorganized, and ugly gfx.
I own a small Dev. hut, and if we pumped out shit like that, we would be out of business.
sorry bad link, here is a good one
This is a Rogue website.

Could this technology be used within a water system (y'know, those pipes in your basement)
It would need to be a wee bit faster, but if you could get transfer rates up past the 10Mb mark, you could make some waves! (Bad Pun)
Can anyone confirm that there is to be a remake of Vampire Hunter D?
"VAMPIRE HUNTER D"
The first, and best Anime flick Ive seen!
Maybe there is a new market in GPS scramblers opening up!

Private, invitation only networks seem like the next obvious step.
Does that not defeat the purpose of the Gnutella "comunity"?
Wow, now this is cool. (although it is a mac)
:)
Makes me want to pop some dual PIII's in an old Pet box.
And so what if the title was a little missleading, it is still the coolest MAC I have ever seen.

Hmm... you have just added som research to my weekend project... Damn you! :)
Thanks though.
hehehe
That would be cool!
I am a Pens fan as well, so it would be extra cool!
Pens in 6!!!!
