People are mistakenly assuming that since Max OS X = UNIX, that apps can be easily ported. Remember that Apple is using Cocoa, their Obj-C API based on OpenStep. And no, GNUStep isn't compatible, yet.
Intel has many
server boards that have a dedicated chip for management over the serial port. Also, VA has\d a very cool box to plug all your servers into, may it rest in peace.

This was first announced at Palm Source 2000 in San Jose. (I was lucky enought to be there.) They demoed a development board running PalmOS 4.0 on the ARM, pretty cool. However, they are pulling an Apple: Hardware Emulation. All 68k Palm apps will run unmodified on the new ARM based models, or course anything that circumvents the API will not.
I think they are doing to give themselves more flexibility.
The above should work in theory. In practice howeve, there are a *few* mail systems that will not accept mail from a machine that doesn't use a proper "HELO hostname" command that actually resolves. Not to mention the fact that most mail systems put the reverse name in the headers: "received from cx54499-b.dt1.sdca.home.com".
(Please excuse my having read *way* too much S-F.)
I would think that given enough horsepower, we should be able to brute force compute all the possible solutions for a problem. Add to that a little statistical math and you might possibly be able to build a minimal AI that could help with some decisions.
So I guess what we need is a massive online peer-to-peer statistical repository. That way, one system could "learn" from others.
A new workstation, with really nice plastics: The Sun Blade 1000 and a server, the Sun Fire 280R. (No link yet.)
From their website:
"Sun ushers in the next generation of exceptional tools for technical professionals with the Sun Blade[tm] 1000
workstation. The Sun Blade 1000 system accommodates up to two superscalar, 64-bit, high-performance
UltraSPARC[tm]-III CPUs. It features a high-performance, crossbar-switch system interconnect that
provides high bandwidth (up to 4 GB/sec.) for today's and tomorrow's ultra-high-speed processors and
graphic subsystems. It also delivers plenty of internal disk and memory and a 64-bit PCI bus for incredibly fast
I/O. The Sun Blade 1000 workstation provides both USB and IEEE1394 interfaces for connectivity to the
leading edge in third-party peripherals. With state-of-the-art high-end graphics, dual monitor capabilities,
and support for Sun's advanced storage systems, this workstation is truly a powerful, flexible next-generation
desktop."
Deffinitively *the* appserver. Newly arriving "Enhydra Enterprise" combines the sophistication of XMLC, which allows very nice logic/presentation separation and delivery in multiple formats (HTML/WML/etc), integration of JOnAS for EJB support and a very well thought out API.
Enhydra also comes with InstantDB, a pure-Java RDBMS designed for the web and Enhydra Director, a very good load-balancing tool.
Other nice features are the MultiServer which, among other things, allows easy local developement without needing to setup a server like Apache. It also allows debugging live servlets.
All in all, Enhydra is great! Use it!
Adam
P.S. Also, there are facilities to use an IDE like JBuilder or JDeveloper with Enhydra.
One of the most important things to consider about wiring your home is the patch panel in the basement. Having a clean setup there will make a big difference in the long run.
You should then run as much to each room as you can afford. That means coax and multiple cat-5. The reason for this is that you can run anything over cat-5, except coax...
If you want good audio, you might be able to use the coax, but I'm not sure. Whatever the case, you might want multiple coax and/or some dedicated shielded speaker cable to each room. (Hmmm, probably means another panel of some sort for audio...)
We simply build the site so that all content is accessed by virtual URLs.
So http://www.somecompany.com/en/products/doors/alumi nium is actually passed to a script which seperates the arguments from the URI and then builds the aluminium door product page with the english template. It works rather well and everything can be configured to be text/html and.html without problem.
I'm in Ottawa, where Fido is offering data services on its Nokia 5190 for a 5$ CDN monthly charge. However, only Windows is supported. I thought the software was special, but from one of the posts above, I'm going to try straight serial line.
Send me some mail if you're interested in my findings.
I checkout Freshmeat much less frequently than/., and the type of news I see on here has always suited me. Plus, doesn't on of the user settings let you filter software? A.
Also, I'm currently in the process of evaluating the NetApp for use with Linux. So far, they are by far the best solution. And their implementation of NFS does indeed scale. You can use multiple clustered NetApps and even do RAID accross them.

The obvious Good Thing about this announcement is that SUN will need to provide a heavily optimised, 64-bit Java implementation for the Opteron.
People are working on projects to replace SMTP, for examplem, SMAP:

Looks interesting,

That's a brilliant idea! Integrate it with the Palm aps: Address Book knows position, Todo knows "Where", etc.
This is not an idea specific to the Garmin product. Any PDA with GPS capabilities could do it.
Wow, neat.
This would be a Bad Thing. Anyone know of plans to do something?
It seems like we need to start using a "web-of-trust" based PKI solution, like OpenPGP. And educating users to actually check the signatures!!!
On a related note, does Debian use anything to prevent this from happening? I for one don't worry too much when doing an update, maybe I should...
With the speed/capacity of modern PocketToy^H^H^HPC based devices, would they make good software based players?
I don't know about operator overloading. But Java provideds the concept of Interfaces, which is far more porwerfull that Multiple Inheritance, IMHO.
Eh?
Why is that? Please explain.

I think it has the potential of replacing wired networks, maybe with one access point per room.
Apple claims up to 5 hours for the iBook, and the same for the PowerBook G4.

However, what are the real comparison numbers? Are we talking 3-4% on 1 million rows?
If PostgreSQL is only slightly slower that MySQL, I would consider switching.

Clarification: NetApp uses RAID-4.
Also, I'm currently in the process of evaluating the NetApp for use with Linux. So far, they are by far the best solution. And their implementation of NFS does indeed scale. You can use multiple clustered NetApps and even do RAID accross them.
