I agree. For many years radmind was the only robust solution for OS X. It is by far the most widely used for this task. Though radmind is slow. It will take 2-8 hours to update your computers from scratch. However, why does it matter? Plus radmind will allow you to push incremental upgrades in as little as two minutes. It's somewhat difficult to learn, but the radmind user list is really really great. Most of the people on the list run big university labs or corporate labs and I find them to be really smart and creative. Check it out: http://www.radmind.org/
Thoug I have to say sometimes radmind sucks, like if you go from Jaguar to Panther it can break. Though generally for minor system updates and security fixes it's okay. This is why you TEST! And if you need a full restore you use apple software restore or netrestore from Mike Bombich. I like that guy: http://www.bombich.com/ But then you need an Mac OS X Server http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/ as I recall, in which case, you might as well by an xserve http://www.apple.com/xserve/ since it comes with the software. But again you will only need Bombich once a year; so you can just visit every machine with a cd ad it might be as effective as all the ASR which I found to be difficult to implement. We had to get an Apple Engineer to set it up for us. heh.
The Real way to get to a browser war is if developer's simply started coding web sites with only Mozilla/Opera/Safari Compliance in mind.
Just like in the old says, when we had the Netscape Now buttons.
But no one is going to hurt their ROI just because they want to hurt microsoft.
But i dunno if some major news sites, were like, you need Mozilla to view this site. Who Knows?
Problem is the people CSS is intended to save. Dial up users. How can they get their hands on Mozilla. AOL needs to use their CD distribution program for something good. i.e Mozilla!
Grahmn is mostly saying that people who use python are more likely to be hackers as oppossed to people who EXCLUSIVELY use java.
That it's a method of detection. That a hacker wouldn't juse use java.
I do believe Grahmn doesn't take java seriously enough. I think he should say that a hacker would like java and python; not just one or the other! But that if you had to pick one, it should be python.
Why? Because it can be modified and java cannot due to licensing issues. This is the reason I hate java. I found a bug in the drag and drop layer in AWT once and even wrote a patch, but i had no way of submitting it to the java people.
This post is absolutely lame. Outside of using machine learning to make the browser faster and more responsive, I think the concept is totally idiotic. On the other hand, if you want ideas for projects go to mozdev [http://www.mozdev.com/]
I mean comon They do all kinds of fancy stuff. Why not work on the SQL javascript plugin? Or all those other plugins.
But, I think adding libraries to Javascript is the way to go.
I mean you can't extend HTML and you can't extend CSS. But you can always extend Javascript cause it's what we programmer fellas call a programming language.
If Javascript had a database library similar to the DBI, pear-db, or JDBC and improved, less buggy drag and drop support; it could probably defeat.net and java for intranet applications.
Once it is used for intranet and developers found how easy it is to only use one language to make web sites, they would make a push to create user applications with it.
Why it is that everyone underestimates Javascript is beyond me; give it a standard library outside of the browser library (which is just riculously nice) and you won't ever have to write in HTML PHP garbage again. Browser code could become elegant.
Executives at Autozone must be feeling unlucky at being the recipient of a lawsuit from SCO when there are so many other corporate Linux users that SCO could have chosen from.
However, the defence may take heart that the court in which SCO filed suit runs its own web site on Linux, and that the key electronic documents SCO filed in the case will be living on a Linux server. Plaintiffs filing lawsuits must enter copies of their legal documents in Adobe PDF format in the court's Linux-based Case Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system, which will provide electronic updates of case information for the litigants and their lawyers.
Presumably, that means SCO's lawyers filed the lawsuit using a system that it contends infringes its intellectual property. SCO's numerous press pronouncements have thus far not mentioned whether its lawyers sent the Nevada court a cease-and-desist letter prior to filing the documents, or indeed whether it plans to file suit against the court itself.
this is utterly ridiculous and interesting, but it's not in sun's blood. Sun: "why the hell should we give up control; we made java!" IBM: "look, if Java was open-source, more people would use it, and you are after all a services/hardware co." Sun: "Why don't you pay us for open-sourcing it?" IBM: "ehm, because..." Sun: "aha!" IBM: "Because we've just decided we're just going to buy your company for 50 billion" Sun: "REALLY??? YES!" IBM: "Um, we were just kidding. You guys suck. You have no idea what you are doing. Just Look at your Gnome situation for god sakes!" Sun: "Hey! We're planning on assassinating Miguel when he crosses the border." IBM: "It's not the 80s anymore, what the hell is wrong with you? This conversation is over!" Sun: Oh like you are so good, you know you are going to turn on everyone once you've assimilated all that can be comoditized and globalized. At least we're not freaking evil!"

I don't know about the libraries, but Sun should definitely open source the JVM. I mean that's something where Sun would really benefit, and would still maintain control. Much like the way Apple benefits from developers working on Darwin, without losing control of OS X.
the only value i see in java not being open is it's liquidation value. if sun wanted to sell the copyright to all of their java libraries and jvms, how much could they get for it?
the control aspect is interesting, but i don't see how they make money of it. i mean are they going to introduce a bug and them demand a ransom for fixing it?
I agree that RIAA needs to go back to their old business model. (maybe without the abusive artist contracts). Find something they can produce in quantity for a $3-5 a pop. Something that costs an individual user $20 to produce as a one-off. And charge $10.00 for it.
yes they need to start selling heroin. QUICKLY! ESPECIALLY TO ME!!!

Your need to ask yourself how can I make the operation more efficient?... How can I reduce the amount of time each employee must spend using a computer? This can be as simple as making sure windows never crashes again with an effective rsync'ed windows distro. Or setting up a network folder where everyone in the co. can share pictures. Or helping the boss configure an email list. Or setting up the UPS machine to connect the staff and other co. computers in a more efficient way.
You need to define a product and then sell it. This allows you to not play the rate game: figuring out exactly how much you should charge them when programming time is unquantifiable.
So many programmers think "I know how to expand this dude's business?" Smart business men will avoid you. And those are the people you want to work with.

Do you really think Microsoft would fork any kind of software which is under a GPL-compatible license?
So let me get this straight. Sun is afraid that MS will contribute to an GPL'd project?
HAHAHA
I think most of us would pay good paypal money to see that happen.

you might try getting strated with pygame, a wrapper to sdl for python.
obviously if you need every single cpu tick to count, you shouldn't use this. but, it can do 30 frames per second if you write good code.
