I was trying to find a way that didn't have the popup in it's own window.
My problem is trying to popup a javascript calendar that uses javascript functions on the main document to render/register selections.
Using the IFrame (or window.createPopup) means you're effectively re-writing a new document in a new window, so the javascript calls in the rendered content don't work.
You'll find that the well paying, yet boring job will eventually leave you so brain dead that you'll get to a point where nothing about the job is worth the money and you do whatever you can to get out.
If you get a decent offer now, for interesting work, and you're resultant budget (taken into account new salary) is workable then I would do it. After all you spend a great deal of your life working, so you may as well be doing something that entertains you, or you at least believe in.
Are you suggesting that because Java implemented Vector in it's API library (which, by the way is now ArrayList in Java as well) that it somehow has a right to be the only language that implements Vector, and therefore call all other languages that implement vector a rip off?
Vector is a Collection, it's a concept that all people learn when studying computer science, so it makes sense to have that kind of 'dynamic array' in your API no matter what languahe it's in (python, java or c#).
What you're trying to say, that the subtle differences between languages are not enough to differentiate them. Yet in today's world of hi-level languages and managed runtimes, the only thing to differentiate between languages are the subtle differeces.
Look I don't really care which language is better (in your mind or anyone elses), the fact remains that untill C# came along with the newer language constructs and features, Java didn't even bother to implement them. So at the very least, the competition is spurring on development/innovation between the two companies.
Oh and by the way, doesn't your language also lend itself to the 'java is a rip off of C++' arguement, since they are so similar and c++ came first ?
It's apples and oranges dude, and your agument is a total troll.
It uses the WebDav API (over http) to get at the Exchange Store, which is currently the only recommended way (by Microsoft) to access the Exchange Store from any automated (non Outlook) environment.
MS even calls Exchange a Web Store and repeatedly says that the best way to get at it is to use it's WebDav interface in place of it's CDOEx API.
Another point to note: there is no other recommended way to get at Exchange from.Net other than Web Dav, and.Net is the way of the future for MS

Fedora Core 2 Review
·
· Score: 1
Disclaimer: I've actually contributed (a real little) to pptp-client.sf.net, notably the Howto for getting it to work with FC1.
Anyway, pptp-client.sf.net is the place to go to for getting pptp to work on any flavour of linux you can think of.
It neads a kernel module to work with MPPE (microsoft point to point encryption) and a version of pppd that is equipped to handle MPPE.
Luckily FC2 ships with a version of pppd that can handle mppe encryption, but apparently the kernel guys won't include kernel-mppe in the kernel because they believe that pptp isn't secure enough to include. This in turn means that the fedora crew won't include pptp-client cause it needs a kernel mod that isn't included in an upstream kernel.
Anyhow that's the main reason why you can't get it in your favourite rpm based distro at the moment. It doesn't mean you can't install it yourself.
All you need to do is install the kernel-mppe module (should be available at the above url in a few days) and then install the pptp-client rpm and away you go.
So I hope that works for you, and at the same time wish the kernel guys would wisen up and include the mppe kernel mod in their kernels for the sake of windows interoperability.
Like or hate the GPL, no matter what your stance is, it's still a software license for Open Source Software.
As I said earlier in this article, you simply can't use FUD words like viral infection when talking about software licenses and expect to be taken serious.
If you have something against the license then state your issues, don't go name calling and MS FUD spreading.
It's a bit hard to have a little bit of faith in someone from a former competitor of MS who, immediately after signing a settlement with MS, begin to use the same MS FUD we've come to recognise when talking about the GPL.
I'm trying not to be too reactionary to this, but it's really hard to take anyone's public commentary seriously when they use the words viral infection to describe the GPL.
It's a free software license, some would more-so than the Sun Java Source License.
Something I wondered about the scenario of the car taking off in the suburban street.
How does i know which side of the road to drive on?
How do you tell it that half of it's obstacle-free passage is actually not allowed to be driven on because that's for traffic going in the other direction ?
The thing your missing, in your example is the fact that you don't try and pick up a new instrument everyday and use it to perform the same task as if it were a tool.
I'm really getting sick of these so called 'computer users' who don't take the time to learn or try and understand why a certain piece of software which they need to use every single day of their job (i.e. a wordprocessor).
I don't care where their skill set lies. If they need to use a computer every day, then they should take the time to learn to use it properlly. If they can't do that then maybe they shouldb't be using a computer as a tool.
If your situation were to be reversed, I'm sure your wife will have told you to quit being an ehtno-musician by your fourth day of failed music playing.
These days the computer has become like the calculator, you can't simple tell people not to use them, because they have become a necessary tool. It just seems too intellectually challenging for some people to learn to use the tool sometimes.
Be advised (warned ?) that the code written by the webforms designer is very, very buggy.
If you want to wire in custom events for custom controls, or you just like to code your ascx controls in the source view (not the gui designer) then be prepared to have VS.Net intermittently decide to wipe out your event wirings.
Also be prepared to have VS.Net hijack your xml (the aspx or ascx page) formating any time you switch from source editor to gui editor.
The trick to notice is that the name that uses the colon is actually what is placed in the html element's "name" attribute, and the name that uses the underscore is placed int he html element's "id" attribute.
The "id" attribute must be unique for each page, but the "name" attribute doesn't. Since the "id" is unique later versions of MS DOM (not sure bout moz/netscape etc) allow you to access the html element from the root document object using dot notation. NS4 doesn't support this.
The work around dereferences the object as being part of the forms collection. The forms collection is always available to the root document object and is hashed by the elements name (and sometimes also id) attributes.

Not sure what your suggesting here, can you post some sample code for it?
Would and did.

The latest version of gaim (gaim.sf.net) does well with msn over http.
Hasn't in the past, but does now. Try it out.
I disagree, Xchat linux or windows, is by far the leanest, best quality IRC client I've ever used.
And by quality I mean 'fit for purpose'.
Just my opinion anyhow
Dude,
You've got issues.

I thought patents were supposed to be non obvious.
If I need a way to authenticate someone on a gateway I redirect them to the login page. This is pretty much the most obvious approach to the problem.
Patented they say.

Mobile phones actually ramp up power considerably to engage in an active phone call. When not in active use there power sits at very low levels.
So actually pressing the talk button, in other words engageing in a phone call, may well make a difference.

Haven't actually looked into this to any great defree, but is Novel's iFolder an option ?
It's opensourced even and available on Novel Forge.
We didn't develop our own ide, we ported one that was already written.
Why waste time writing a plugin for eclipse (in a different) language when the majority of the code is already there ?
People waited for months for someone to write a plugin for eclipse and nobody, because nobody that had the know how to do it.
Guess what, most of the people that wanted a C# ide or a C# plugin for eclipse with code complete had the know how to do it in C#, not java.
So porting the SharpDevelop ide was light years less work than writing a plugin for eclipse.
no they are simply trying to make a C# ide in mono.
plain and simple.
there are none on linux, and so they started the project as a port from SharpDevelop.
No ulterior motives, no copying, just a port that is developing into it's own project.
disclaimer: I am a MonoDevelop developer
If you had even bothered to read the article, or even found the actual original statement you would know it was taken out of context.
Miguel even says in his very next statement words to the effect "c is dead, except for the JIT".
In other words, as far as application development is concerned (the main target of the CIL) c is dead.
Come on, lets not go on flaming without at least considering context.
