Java- new tools slick and free!

JSF vs ASP.net

. Java has some new ide's for free that seem to produce web pages (I'm not exactly sure what java flavor). They look really slick, and have me thinking about switching to java from php.
I use film, but have to say I'm very impressed with the 8 megapixel dslr cameras.
It also depends on the film speed. 50 iso film is much better than 400 iso. The Digital SLR I find works better with higher film speeds than I could get with film.
There is "image data"in the film grain. It gives film a certain look. I scan at 4000 dpi using a minota scanner and then use "grain surgery" to remove grain to get a more smooth image (noise reduction for film basically).
6x4.5 (medium format) is still better that most digital cameras except the very expensive ones.
I've had my ipod over 1.5 years. I listen to it almost every day for 4+ hours. I carry it all over the place. I've dropped it once (on carpet, whew). Still works like a champ.
Ancedotal and useless comment as you yourself pointed out. Why post.
For crying out loud. Ipods sound great, as good as any portible audio device I've owned. I listen with good headphones too. Much better the the "walkman" casette players I've owned.
If your an "audiofile" then listen to lossless or a cd or even better "VYNL RECORDS".
The whole point of portable MP3 is to carry as many songs in as small a space. If people wanted perfect CD quality in a portable package they'd buy mini-disc. But they didn't. However people want good->excellent quality and small files.
In all seriousness. I would just enforce "header" comments to a particular style (javadoc..etc). The rest is up to the individual programmer.
The trouble as pointed out earlier is that programmers/code reveiwer have to be always be updating comments as the code gets updated. This doesn't always happen and is the caused me personally some problems as I took the comment to be right, when clearly they were not. I use comments as a guide now.
Sun's java studio creator is now free. I'm not sure which "framework" if any it uses but it seems a quick and well though out way to created database backed web pages. I wonder if tapestry works with this or eclipse.
Sun is definetly feeling some heat from eclipse and starting to make it development tools significantly better.
If I wasn't using php I would definetely look into thses.
PHP programming is becomming about the libraries. Smartyhttp://smarty.php.net/ - a template library makes putting coherent websites together easier. Although it doesn't do anything for the database part of the site, its one less thing to worry about.
PEAR confused me and I was programming before it so I have my own libraries. The php web documentation is excellent.
better- Stevens...Unix Network Programming Vol.1 ?

Steven;s books are good. I thnk he's UNIX NETWORK Programming volume 1 is newer the the tcp book and has UDP and other good stuff. Vol 2 in Interprocess Communication. Invaluable.
My main complaint with those books the example code uses his own libraries. Which is fine for brevity but can be a little confusing. Also not the easiest to learn from, but great when you know enough.
This is actually very informative. I've ordered from both of these retailer multiple times. No problems, no high pressure phone calls. Prices are very good (although not as quite as good as the "too good to be true" stores.)
As the other reply says, you can go to B&H and watch the show. The store has conveyor belts and boxes moving purchased goods around.
Sony actually does make good sensors. Canon uses some in there point and shoot line. Other manufacturers do as well. Camera makers don't talk much about who's sensore they are using publicly. Rumor is the Nikon SLR line is using sony sensors.
Sony digital cameras aren't bad (I have an canon s70 and rebel xt). However my friends Sony focuses and shots faster than my canon s70. (the rebel xt is an SLR and is a great camera). I don't like memory stick and that is my reason for avoiding.
You have a good point though.. the sony is more expensive than the digital rebel xt and can't change lenses. Although it has 2 more megapixels..but that matters little.
I have a number of domain names registered. I have received a total of 3 pieces of junk mail in the 5 years I've held the domains. Oddly one for for a corprate credit card. I have a separate email acount for the domains and it gets almost no spam.
I feel the benifits of having someone contact me due to forgoten registration/ problems and other reasons outweigh the anonymous aproach.
Well according to the web site. Sun has got to get better names for things.. Its still so damm confusing. (java studio creator/java studio enterprise/ sunstudio). As a result I can't tell what the press release is giving away...
Is this what there talking about? I've been playing around with java studio creator, its really really nice actually. Of course I use php not jsp/servlets, but its defenetly making me think about switching.
My understanding is that the 1st generation of games only runs with 1 of the 3 cpus, not using the other 2. If the problem is overheating then those other 2 get used whats going to happen?

I got the same thing from the article. The scientist only gets a brief mention. The inventor wasted tons of time and money as well as risking his health, guessing and trying to solve the problem hap hazzardly. He failed, so he got some capital then found a dye expert to figure out the solution.
hope they're paying the dye science guru guy well..
So far (acording to cbs marketwatch/wsj) MS has lost 4 billion dollars on trying to make a profitable console. No other company has so much money to throw into an unprofitable business. They don't plan to see any profit for 2 years..
Thus some resentment.
They're subsidising there console business with profits from there OS/and Business apps.
I found the connection (his previous show,alway on during my drive home) unlistenible. Tries to use "big" words and terminology sometimes ends up using them incorrectly. He left NPR when they wouldn't pay him enough money (its public radio?!). He didn't ask good insightfull questions during his interviews. Always trying to show the bredth of his knowledge when the show isn't about him.
After a show where he had a folk singer on (for apparently no other reason than, it turns out Mr. Lydon was a huge fan!) I never listened again. I hear the promos for "open source" I wonder how long it will last, or if he's gotten any better.
I hate this story.. Think about it. The "inventor" hero of the story randomly trying everything and failing. It the dye master that made it work, and he's barely in the story. Typical.... and sad.
On my project he have GPS time. We like GPS time. It is always increasing. UTC time and associated leap seconds. Pain the but. Have to keep checking for leap seconds.. Deltas are more difficult. Siderial time (I don't know what this is) Zulu time, which I think is like UTC time with something different. And my favorite is the device that returns time in seconds since last sunday. Simulation time, which is UTC time but adjusted forward and back giving a change in leap seconds. That and the NTP (Network Time Protocol) thats supposed to keep everything in sync.
That the agony that is 32 bit software on a 64 bit unix machine..
Ugggg..
Please Please Please don't make this any more difficult.
some of Apple's apis (core video/core image/core audio) use the gpu when it detects a supported card, otherwise it just uses the cpu, seemlessly and without fuss. So this isn't new.

The book is excellent. Won a pulizer prize even. Although its a little too honest for those looking to get into the field.
How the author got acess like that to Data General I have no idea. I couldn't even get into the building to pick someone up.
The author also won a pulizer prize.
