My point is, you said two different things. First impression is where you didn't like the face they use WLS features, see the above. The second was that you did like the WLS specific features.
There a a few very good J2EE books. As far as I know this is the only good WLS specific book.
I have this guy's book. "Java Design Patterns: A Tutorial" It is the worst Patterns book I have ever read. If you don't believe me just check the reviews at amazon. I've you're looking for thye definative Java Patterns, I suggest looking at another author. Mark Grand also sucks. So far the Stelting-Maasen book is the best I've seen, after the GoF Book.
Sun started the ISO process over 5 years ago in 1997,Sun's ISO Process

After reading about this Jackass and his ranting. I'm really happy his crap isn't at the top of google's page ranking. I would say, "If only Google would let me filter out his website", (I won't post the URL because that might acutally help his ranking.) But he seems to have done a good job of this on his own.
For example if I'm searching for United Airlines, I want UAL.com, I'm not interested in untied.com. If I were interested in "How UAL treats its Own" I would type that into my search engine.
If I search for "Mickey Mouse" I want a site about the rat, not one about how Disney is abusing trademark, copywrite laws, or the DCMA.
I would say, "If only Google would let me filter out his website", (I won't post the URL because that might acutally help his ranking.) But he seems to have done a good job of this on his own.
BTW I tried searching Google for Donald Rumsfield at www.namebase.org and I got the following result: Your search - Donald Rumsfeld site:www.namebase.org - did not match any documents.
I think Google's page rank for his site is dead on.
Of course its a bad book, have you read any of the authors books?
Practical C++ Programming Is one of the worst O'Reilly and Associates has ever published. Here's part of a review from Amazon.com:
But not only does this book not deal with the features of the language that it should, but the material it *does* deal with is presented in an inexcusably poor way. It's clear that Oualline really doesn't know C++, or he would use inheritance correctly---hell, he would declare main() correctly!
Then there's the company: New Riders
Java 2 Certification Training Guide
by Jamie Jaworski. Use this book and you're guarenteed to fail the test.
As for me I've been bitten once by the author, and I don't give second chances, there are plenty of good books out there, so I really don't need him. I use gvim nearly every day, and I have Learning the vi Editor, by Linda Lamb (5th Edition), in case I forget something. For the rest I have vim.org
What you thing companies are going to let you use a cheap video card for frame grabbing? This suckers were designed to video games, and home entertainment purposes, not studio work.
I noticed that there were no reviews of cards by 3d Labs? I wonder why? Could it be that 3d Labs builds its cards for Professional Graphics users and could care less how things like Quake benchmarks?
Declan seems to have fallen for the fallacy that politicians are dumb, and the hubris that geeks can outpace them.
No he's come to the conclusion that when it comes to politics geeks are dumb. Their petitions and letters are counter productive and inflamitory.
Politicians are just as good at what they do as geeks are at what they do.
I would say that they're better. Geeks pay Social Security, Congress and the Persident continue to draw their full salary after they retire.
If we ignore the politicians, they *will* win.
And if we keep pissing them off they will hammer us, and those who can fight a good fight will loose before they ever get into the ring.
They can shut down the things we love to all but those who are willing to break the law. Don't kid yourselves.
Yes, and they can start a "Witch Hunt" against those who are willing to break the law. Imagine a Federal Technology Controll Agency, under the Department of Homeland Security. Not imagine them kicking in your door, taking your computer, your PDA, your watch, and wrecking your home looking for contriband technology. All under the guise of "national security" and protecting the rest of us from those nasty terrorists. A bit exaggerated, but the point is there.
Geeks have to fight the lobbying fight to protect the technology fight.
To fight a lobbying fight, the geeks need to learn how to fight a lobbying fight first.
Say What? If we don't speak up how will we get our view across
Getting your views across doesn't matter. The geek community comes across as a bunch of whiney twits, (/.) and hippies, (RMS).
You want to be heard? When was the last time you helped somebody actually get to Elected to Congress? How many Senators know you by first name and rember you favorably?
There is a reason my lobbyiest get paied hundreds of thousands of Dollars a year, and have nice fat expense accounts. They know how the game is played.
If you don't know how to play the game you're just another geek whining that RIAA is trying to take away his pirated music.
Point one, we have a Republican in the Oval Office. The Republican party has traditionally supported "Big Business".
Point two. Domestic issues are irrevalant. The anti-trust lawsuit has to do with Microsoft doing business in Peru, not Microsoft doing business in the US. If Peru wants to create laws restricting Microsoft, or anyother US corporation from what either the US Govt. or Corp. considers fair trade, the US Government is more than willing to hold an economic gun to that Government.
I just hope the TV Series keeps the spirit and personality of the manga. The movie was crap, and I'm sorry to see so many people actaully buying into hype surrounding it.
They don't read Sys-Admin, or/., they read Forbes, and The Wall Street Journal.
The problems the inaccuries in the article are don't matter. It doesn't matter that pine runs on every *nx system out there. It doesn't matter that there is or used to be PC Pine which was point and click. What matters are statements like There is absolutely no way to get a virus using Pine.and The browsers available are fast, clean and work without a hitch..
Joe Smoe CEO is not an idiot. With his 7 figure salary, he has an entirely different skill set than the nerds running his servers. Learn to talk to him. He doesn't care about whether you use Java, or.NET, he cares about the are the costs and risks associated with running Java or.NET.
Why is anybody surprised? This is all part of eliminating the over-regulation of business the Republicans have been talking about. Here are a couple of quotes from Texas GOP:
â¦high taxes, runaway government spending, and over-regulation of business and farming punish initiative and stifle economic growth.
It's easier to vandalize a Web site than to program a remote control.
Totally bogus. Websites are not that easy to vandalize. Especially if they are running Apache under OpenBSD.
Consumers fret about the loss of privacy.
Rember Hailstorm? How is this going to solve your privacy issues, especially considering the new EULA in MS's latest security patch that allows them to root your computer and look around anytime they want?
Computer security is enough of a worry that the software colossus Microsoft views it as a threat to its continued success: thus the apocalyptic Bill Gates memo in January calling for a "Trustworthy Computing" jihad.
Why is security now viewed as a threat to MS before January? Aren't they a Monopoly? Can't they make a user friendly OS without the chronic security holes? And why are there security holes is Windows Medai player?
Though Microsoft does not claim a panacea, the system is designed to dramatically improve our ability to control and protect personal and corporate information.
Who's ability? My ability or Microsoft's ability? If its my ability: how so? If its anybody else: screw them.
Tells you who you're dealing with-and what they're doing.
What about privacy?
Protects information. The system uses high-level encryption to "seal" data so that snoops and thieves are thwarted. It also can protect the integrity of documents so that they can't be altered without your knowledge.
Please tell me how they are going to be snooping around my computer to begin with?
Stops viruses and worms. Palladium won't run unauthorized programs, so viruses can't trash protected parts of your system.
This comming from the company that run Hotmail. All I get there is SPAM. Then I get SPAM from MS telling me to buy more space because I might not be getting all email! Like I'm acctually going to spend money so I can have a bigger bucket for the SPAM.
Safeguards privacy. With Palladium, it's possible not only to seal data on your own computer, but also to send it out to "agents" who can distribute just the discreet pieces you want released to the proper people. Microsofties have nicknamed these services "My Man." If you apply for a loan, you'd say to the lender, "Get my details from My Man," which, upon your authorization, would then provide your bank information, etc. Best part: Da Man can't read the information himself, and neither can a hacker who breaks into his system.
Why would I want a third party involved in my transactions? The thrid party may not have access to your information, but they can tell what is going on. For example if Progressive insurance regularly access certain information, they can sell the information they do have about me, contact info and such, to a competing company like Farmers or Geico.
Controls your information after you send it.
I seem to rember a courtcase where an author wanted a cut from or block off sales of used copies of his books. The Supreme Court shot it down. Right now if I buy something, I have the right to resell it, with DRM I don't
Palladium is a dead-serious attempt to finally make it happen,....
He's right.
Hollywood's fear of digital copying.
They were also afraid of VCRs. I don't see the industry bankrupt yet though.
And what if some government thinks that Palladium protects information too much? So far, the United States doesn't seem to have a problem, but less tolerant nations might insist on a "back door" that would allow it to wiretap and search people's data. There would be problems in implementing this, um, feature.
Bullshit.
Others will note that the Windows-only Palladium will, at least in the short run, further bolster the Windows monopoly. In time, says Microsoft, Palladium will spread out. "We don't blink at the thought of putting Palladium on your Palm... on the telephone, on your wristwatch," says software architect Bryan Willman.
The idea being that if you buy a PC, you also license the software that comes with it. i.e. the bios. If the bios and CPU contain DRM software, attempts to circumvent it by doing things like installing Linux are illegal.
Last time I checked you couldn't circumvent fair use. By building a device that prevents fair use, this Trusted Computing group is creating a device that by its very nature defies the very statutes that the Supreme Court has said are legal!

How many remote exploits have there been in Apache over the past 3 years? Now how many in IIS?
Now how many remote exploits have there been in OpenBSD? How many in Windows 2000 Server?
