are the usb connectors upto taking a zillion insertions - i know they are designed to be hot swapable etc etc but that is different to being designed to being used for repeated insertions. We have to pay a lot if we want a connector that can be used with a high number of intertions for our embedded designs.
recently tho' development of cross platform apps has been a necessity. We do use java but deploying the stuff is a hassle with the various JRE foibles. It always ends up ok but the end product just doesn't seem to be as good as the native implementation (or that could just be some of my own bias sneaking in)
So coming back to using borland delphi (kylix) AND having cross platform ability AND borland are allowing for a low cost GPL version is pretty much a dream combination as far as I'm concerned.
If you wish to close source your software - then buy kylix if you want to have open source and support borland the buy kylix if you want open source and free beer then download kylix for free latter in the year.
doesn't get much better than this for linux development as far as i'm concerned. (assumeing stability)
If it were REALLY successfull then it creates yet another basis of discrimination- and we humans are really good at picking arbitrary things to discriminate on (colour, eye shape etc etc)
Sure we should all grow up and get over it but if your on the other end of a violent individual who has chosen not to like the way you are then telling that person to stop being so shallow probably wont help matters.
Maybe the maturity of society needs to be investigated first...
This reminds me of the Amiga scene, we were watching for pics of the amiga on tv. only we were doing it when the amiga was on the way out to bolster or spirits....
