Have you ever just considered developing proprietary software....?
This is exactly the problem... OSS is developed by college kids living off of mommy and daddy, or by people in their free time because they think it's 'kewl', and that same work literally takes food out of the mouths of professional programmers who program to make a living. Right now, 99.99% of all IT jobs are NOT in developing OSS. But if enough people develop OSS code, there will be less and less need for 'professional' programmers. Thus, there'll be a bunch of people programmign for free, while their day job is at Dairy Queen. Nice. Real nice.
What exactly is the point of this Katzian blurb? I can't for the life of me find it. Is he opposed to globalization? Is he for it? Is the just defining it? Or, is this just a stream-of-consciousness piece that happens to revolve around globalization?
Cookies are probably used on 95% of all sites today, bth Internet and Intranet. Banning cookies would break, what? 75% percent of all websites that rely on them? That's absolutely ridiculous. They might as well outlaw HTML.
They're talking about ENTERPRISE-CLASS systems, kids. Not the secretary's computer that she types memos on. I think that everybody agrees that MS does NOT have a place in the back end of the ENTERPRISE. READ THE ARTICLE. They switched from HP-UX to Linux. Microsoft has NOTHING to do with this story.
I suppose that you guys got lots of VA stock when you sold out to VA. Damn. I hope you guys cashed out a long time ago, or asked for CASH. Otherwise, you guys have built this huge website, and you'll be back to nothing as soon as VA goes under.
They interlace content, presentation and even security. They do not natively allow for the separation of work a hacker, an artist, and a DBA performs, since they all require arbitrarily aggreed apon artificial APIs.
The API has nothing to do with it. The database guy can change anything in the database, and with ASP, PHP, etc., the pages change to reflect the new content, irregardless of layout. Likewise, a graphics guy can change graphics on the page without interfering with the data at all. Most of the projects that I work on have specialists and they work exactly like this.
On top of that, if you leave the rendering to the browser, then you have the possiblity of many more variations on the display of data. If you let ASP/PHP build the pages on the back end (spitting out HTML, DHTML, CSS, whatever), then you have much greater control of the content, while also having the data and the design completely separate.
Well, look at most applications. Most applications written today are web-based, and we already have technology that separates the design and the data: ASP, PHP, Cold Fusion, etc. XML only adds 2 more layers into this, doing nothing other than slowing the whole process down. XML is good if you don't understand ASP, PHP, etc., but overall, it's a waste of time if you're doing a web app.
The GameCube is clearly a different market than the XBox or the PS2. The GameCube is clearly geared towards little kids. The games usually revolve around cartoon characters (Mario, etc.), and there aren't many truly violent, adult games for Nintendo. PS2, on the other hand, has things like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. I think that mostly kids play the Nintendos, while the grown-ups play the PS2. I don't know who's going to play the XBox. I know I won't!
What's a contemporary gaming console without a good golf game?!?
Golf as a video game? Is there anything more boring? Is there a particular reason you can't get off your ass and play golf? Call me nuts, but I like to play video games about things that I CAN'T do in real life. Otherwise, I'd be playing:
Could someone explain to me what a calendar has to do with a web browser? This seems to me to be extreme feature creep, the likes of which I've never seen before. With more and more bloat, IE is starting to look light in comparison. Is it perhaps an attempt to delay releasing an actual consumer ready version of Mozilla?
Wow. Apparently you're using no DHTML and some old bit of HTML. Any real web-developer in the past 3 years or so knows that it IS difficult to make anything decent that works in ALL browsers. Are you still using tags or something??
Sorry, dude, but youhave no clue what you're talking about.
Actually, HTML and "design" skills and other such fluff aren't enough these days. For anybody woh wants work (and yes, most of it IS intranet work), they need to understand some kind of backend scripting language, a bit about databases, etc.
How can you be "in the know" if you say that it's not a great leap from Win 98 or ME? Are you talking about end user functionality? I don't want to get into a pissing contest. But you don't think that from going from a DOS-based GUI to an NT kernel is "a great leap"? That's like saying that that KDE and Windows 95 are almost the same because they look similar...
Both NT 4, and especially W2K have been very stable for a long time. Since XP is based on NT, there's really no reason NOT to expect it to be just as good.
...who are saying "why should I upgrade my Win 95/98/ME" install. Please read a bit. XP is NT/W2K. NT/W2K has ALWAYS been much more stable, and much faster than the old DOS crap you're used to using. XP/W2K/NT is 100% different from Win 95/98/ME. This is NOT a gui on top of DOS. This is a real OS.
If they are not paying, all they are doing is eating up bandwidth which, for pr0n sites, is really expensive since they pay a premium for pr0n bandwidth.
Actually, bandwidth is usually much cheaper for us, since we buy it in bulk, and we're a lot more competitive than the non-adult ISP's.
And, there actually IS a benefit from having non-credit card holding people come in. There is plenty of money to be made on a per-impression and per-click basis. And, higher traffic often boosts a site's listing at another page, garnering it even more traffic. So really, no. Any traffic is good traffic. Porn webmasters are not going to purposely turn away ANY traffic, thus, this ratings system will fall just as flat as other previous ones. The only thing that DOES work are those NetNanny-type programs.

Well, I'm just learning *nix, and I was wondering what windowmanager would be more useful to know. It looks like now I have my answer.

Play the original Silent Hill tonight (PS/PS2). If that doesn't scare the hell out of you, nothing will.

/.?
What personal data? The number and frequency of your posts on

Dude. It's a game. And a TV. Get a grip.

I'm actually surprised more web developers HAVEN'T turned to pimping
I have.
But how many more Ebonics web sites do we need??

This isn't just more enhancements. XP/W2K is 100% different from Win 95. Completely different OS. Read a bit before trolling, please.
XP has nothing to do with Win 95, whatsoever. Completely different. Of course it's more stable and faster. It's NT. Read a bit before trolling, huh?
