What's up with that, Taco? I feel that your personal preferences really affect your judgement. If Intel comes up with something new - well, they are doomed, it is vaporware, they'll delay, not deliver, blah-blah-blah.. If it is our big blue friend, wow.. let's congratulate them on the breakthrough, they are so awesome!
Be more reasonable. There used to be not much of a difference company-wise between IBM and Intel.. now they are like bad guy and good guy.:(
How on Earth can you say that. That was and still is one of the best things invented. If only modern IDEs, such as JBuilder supported VI mode. My productivity would be 2 times higher.
VI still cuts it.. VI lives.. VI is the best.... well.. YEAH!!
Same question to you, are you twelve? Haven't you been in the real world. Do you still believe that some magic dragon will come and save everyone good stop all the evil?
Show me a single company which is not dirty. That's so clean and has noble ideas and is only worriying about the end-customer? There's no such thing.
They are coming out in January, so it is pretty soon. When you say they are coming out in 2001 it sounds as if it will be 2001 Christmas.. LOTR is coming out in 2001... SWII is coming out in 2001.. Webphone is coming out only in 2 months.
You have to use them if you want to stay in the business. You've got rivals, you know. So you have to use whatever means possible to ensure the prosperity of your company. Once you have that, you can use existing funds to provide better service.
There's no such thing as an evil company (hehe.. not even M$), it is just an organization of people good or not very good at something trying to make money. That's it.. It is not the end of the world, they are not trying to make something evil.. I am not talking about drugs or nuclear weapons, just in general. People make money.
What do you expect? That Intel is going to be perfect? It is a huge company, in any big company there's not only focus on delivering a good product, but there are paychecks, deadlines, taxes, legal issues, unsatisfied customers, lawsuits... Do you expect them to disregard all that and just try to make your life easier by doing miracles and pleasuring everyone?
It is brutal to compare a company like Intel with Mafioso clan. It just shows, that you are a geek that has this gut feeling against anything that's stronger than him and you don't accept that. What the hell is up with that? Grow up. It is a real world, someday you will find a job in an IT industry and will understand, that still the main motivation of any company is to make money, and not to deliver the best product ever. Get real. And as for mafioso, rent (if you don't own) a Godfather I and II. See the difference. Or even better, go to Russia, you'll enjoy it there.
I really think that spamming should be punished severely. We should cut their hairless balls off and make those bastards pay.

This seems more user friendly, although a "recently used programs" option would be quite nice, and is a good idea on Microsoft's part, if not a completely original one.
It is a good thing to compare Gnome, KDE, Whistler, but don't forget about Mac's existance. Mac had the idea of Recently Used Applications for a long time. How is it possible, that a person who chooses to compare several GUIs does not know about that?
I personally agree with the article. I think that M$ is trying to improve their software/services, giving their clan an updated set of tools, so that it could compete with the rest (Java). Yes, VB/VC++ ppl will benefit from this big time, as well as ASP+ sounds really exciting.
But M$ is making a very smart move, they will for sure benefit from, this will get noticed by many big companies which are M$ solution providers. My point is, nothing will change. M$ will continue to have its supporters, it will continue dominate in the personal computer field, it will still be able to compete in Back-End stuff, it will still keep of stealing other people's ideas (C#, ha!), and nothing will change for the next five years.

Unfortunatelly all mp3s supposed to be on this server, but this server gives 403 forbidden access thing even from the main site. I think they'll resolve that shortly.
Good luck.
There is a Russian band called "Neschastniy Sluchai" which is really kewl. They got a website, and you can listen/download all their songs for all the alboms in.ra or.mp3 formats. Quality is good as well.
As you can see, some people don't rely that much on the laws, but give you the choice. If I were still living in Russia I would go and buy their alboms, not burn them.
This practice is not uncommon, many famous Russian bands have mp3s available for downloads on their website. There is a great deal of piracy in Russia, if you go and try to buy an albom, there is a 50% chance that that albom is not original. So I guess they just think that giving people the mp3s would not hurt more.
What really disappoints me is that they are shooting all three movies at once. Time difference between the first and third movie would've improved graphics engines, hardware/software, so that third episode would ofcourse have far better graphics than the first one. But, they just have to do all three at once.
As you can see.. no.. As you could've guessed I am still online.. and still reading/. I feel that it is pathetic.. but hey, what can you do.. there's not much else to do.. damn
By the way, great reply man!
On of the projects I've been working on was pricecheck application. For this, you have to know all possible UPC codes that are out there.
It is true, www.upcdatabase.com does not share its database with anybody, *but*, although there are half million records out there, it does not mean that they are all correct! They are not. In fact, you can add your own record in their database quite easily. So this means that you can't rely on that.
There is not a single company out there that offeres full UPC codes set, only small subsets are available. Now if anyone disagrees, please reply with a fact.
I bet this guy is going to get a medal, a plaque, and an article. That's it. When he could've had 10 mil just like that.. I demand that the bank gives him the award of... one million dollars! (Dr.Evil finger thingy... )
I agree. I think that would be BSD. Because I am closely studying Furi's Java code, and I can say that this guy who wrote it, really really knows what he's doing. Great stuff.
I am currently writing my own version of Gnutella in Java. One of the features I focus on is the restriction that all participating clients should be of the same version, and major configuration (like network behavior) is downloaded from the internet properties file. This way, it is easy to control clients (although I know, that nobody likes that, but at least I can make sure that code base is more solid.
What I like about these astronomical-black-hole-sun posts, is that you know what to excpect when you look at the forum - first 10 posts (highests scores first) will be *Funny*. Any lame joke will get propagated on top of the list. People, what's up with that? Or is astronomy is way funnier than Napster? hmm..
That would be a lot of fun to trace the data - how much pr0n a day they download, or even better, imagine NASA cuts their line cuz they sucked up all the bandwidth with Gnutella and Napster. hmm..
Java does support two buttons quite easily. So no worries about that. Now I enjoy working in JBuilder, and there having second mouse button is always a plus.
Hmm.. If only they had a normal 2+wheel mouse, then they would rock. I mean not some M$ or Logitech, but brand name Apple mouse. Then I would for sure switch from Windoze, to Mac for Java programming.

WHY???
On the other hand, who needs stupid Wired where more than 50 per cent of the pages got ads, when we got our trusty /.
This is not fair, in US it costs 12 bucks (1 year), in Canada it is 40 bucks (US). Now what's up with that. eh?
LOL
Toronto here. Oh, I played mini golf
As you can see.. no.. As you could've guessed I am still online.. and still reading /. I feel that it is pathetic.. but hey, what can you do.. there's not much else to do.. damn

Why can't u run Java Gnutella? like Furi? You may get the link from Gnutella's site.
