your cubicle is a relfection of you. with the help of thinkgeek, unamerican.org, some free gifts from penguin computing, and a few local milwaukee touches, i think i've turned my messy cube into a comfy relfection of myself.
now if only the cleaning ladies would stop throwing away my java jackets so i could turn them in for free coffee...
i'm not very well versed in encryption schemes, but why is it that the encryption schemes in DeCSS, Adobe PDF, and now 802.11 are so 'easily' broken, as opposed to 3DES or RSA that are being used in SSH & SSL? why aren't these algorithms being applied in 802.11?
What if I said the best thing that could happen to all of us is a complete backoff of all the bundling beyond what's specified in the W3C definition of the Web. Take Flash out. Take Java out...
Are we sure that we're just talking about the web here? The JRE gives the ability to run both applets in browser and normal Java apps... and it's not like there's a shortageofthose

Many people (many slashdotters included) seem to discount the possbility of using Java for real cross-platform desktop apps... I wouldn't be so quick to do so, however. Look at apps like LimeWire, Sun's Forte Java IDE, and the number of
sourceforge projects done in Java (though admittedly many of these aren't desktop apps). Hardware is cheap right now, eliminating Java's biggest drawback as a language (speed). Many people are now learning programming with Java (like I did), and it has many appeals as a language, cross-platform ability being only one of them. Java's a desktop contender, and will only grow as such.
do we really want one piece of hardware that could do all this? you're basically talking about something with the complexity of a PC that you're dependant on for a large number of resources in your household... what if its power supply blows? or some other essential component. you've lost all those services in one punch.
it seems to me that a better solution would be a Jini-type structure.... each device provides a service, and knows how to use the services provided by other devices... granted, you'd still be pretty fuX0red if your storage device goes out, but you'd still be able to enjoy your CDs/DVDs from disc...
As a Java developer, I don't much like the name of JavaScript, since it really isn't Java. java is no more a client side programming language than VB is. Both can be used for client-side in-browser apps (applets, activex), but as far as the web goes are more popular for the server-side (ASP, JSP).
I think the best way to tell the difference is the salary difference between JavaScript and Java programmers.:-)
IBM foresees a day when such a watch would have a week's worth of battery power. Like a handheld computer, it could be recharged in a cradle during the night, where it would receive fresh updates such as traffic reports for its owner.
I don't know about everyone else, but I have a hard enough time keeping my cell charged and fresh batteries in my Visor--I can't imagine having to charge my watch once a week... nor can I afford to be late to class more often than I already am just because my watch has its own microprocessor....
further decreasing flexibility?

unless it were made an option to supplement the standard linux filesystem permissions, couldn't a bloated addition like MAC push further towards the desktop and server market? isn't one of linux's greatest assets its ability to work well on everything from a wristwatch to a mainframe?
By adding "EJB" to the mix, you're limiting them to paid software (unless someone can tell me about an Open Source EJB container?). As far as Servlet environments go, if you're looking for speed, make sure you use Apache/JServ, not Jakarta Tomcat. Tomcat supports newer specs, but JServ is a tried and true fast servlet environment. Despite Java's general sluggishness, on good hardware it will get the job done.
i work for a small web development/consulting company... i work under linux. so do three other of our java developers. our 4 other java developers run windows (98x3, 2000x1)... no one has to recompile when it comes time to throw our class files up on our linux-based java app server. we all can run the same IDE, too.
everything was great until we decided it would be a good idea to do native interfacing with a 3rd party library, which just so happened to be in a fscking DLL. now i'm writing C++ code in Visual Studio, which decides every once in awhile that the enter key should move the cursor to the next line, rather than inserting a \r\n... *sigh*
hmm, seems to me, that if an entire -operating system- can be written open source, and thrive, then something like groupware wouldn't be a big deal... but that's just MHO
Often a WHOIS record is the only way of figuring out who is responsible for an abusive web site... like that ecom site you found on pricewatch that doesn't give you an order confirmation after you give them your credit card number...
Slashdot Mirror
I guess some people fuck their mothers. What's your window manager? twm? Gorgeous.
The green aqua-feel for slashdot looks really cool. How can I get all of slashdot to look like this for me? Or is that not a feature of slashcode?
You don't need 3 buttons in Mac OS. My TiBook is on its way.

So much for my linux desktop.

How does an Apache-style license fit into this? Same as X11/BSD?

Now if only Sun would actually open Java's source...

a'hem, since when is a honeypot secure?

do we forget java so quickly? it's had a lot more time to mature than amiga, and with HotSpot (jdk 1.3) it supposedly has 80-90% the speed of C++...
