  1. Re:The problem with Java on Microsoft's CLR - Providing a Break from HW Vendors? · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Haven't had that problem since 1998. Even with sohpisticated GUI's. Just deploy and run on Unix after developing on NT with no problems what so ever. Have u ever coded in Java ?

  2. Re:let's not forget something important on OS X Vs. Linux On The Desktop · · Score: 1

    That is exactly the problem. You have to big competing WM's in KDE and GNOME and users are always confused. I am NOT referring to techies, try telling your wife 'Will it be KDE or GNOME ?' and listen to the answer.

    Being customizable is an advantage. However, many WM's that compete against each other with no standard in sight is very bad for the Linux desktop.

  3. Chicago is back ON on AT&T Ends Bid To Buy @Home Assets · · Score: 1

    Just got my service back. Linux re-acquired a new IP address and other DNS info. Changed my local are network to push the new DNS entries to my wireless 2K machines via DHCP.

    Things work great. Changed couple of settings for mail and news (Not much sucess with news). Speed is great as usual. I don't know how AT&T pulled this one off, but they seemed to have done a great job in such a short period of time. Wow.

  4. Re:Home Depot on Where is Largest Linux Desktop Install? · · Score: 1

    Are they really using Linux or just Java on top of Linux ? Where do you draw the line ?

    Most financial websites use Java to display live stock tickers. In addition, check out the heat map of the market at smartmoney.com. Pretty good stuff.
