(Of course, not entirely fair, since we also didn't force code generation via Rational Rose. We instead reverse-engineered all of our final UML from the code we'd written and tested, and knew worked the way it was supposed to...)
Any particular reason you didn't use Rose, that you want to share? I am just getting aquianted with Rose now, and I am pretty enthusiastic.
I am happy/. user and pretty sure I will be a subscriber soon. For now, the ads are completely no bother, so I dont really have any particular motivation.
However, something I would love, would be the possibility of viewing the comments with expand/collapse buttons. I like to view at threshold 0, so one thread can get biig, and I easily loose track of what sub-thread I am reading. What I would like to do would be to collapse the thread, so I can immediatly skip to the next one. This means every single comment which has sub-comments, would be expand/collapsable.
Another improvement: When I have mod points, it always bothers me that I have to select the comments I want to mod, and then, at the end of the page, I submit. Often I forget, and follow a link somewhere. A system I think works a lot better in this respect, is that of Half-Empty. When you see a comment you want to rate, you do so immediatly, but the page handling the rating is opened in a new tiny window in the background. This way I immediatly vote, and I dont move away from the discussion Im interested in, or forget to mod.
I agree. The GPL is clear on this matter:
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Speaking of which, are there any initiatives out there that aim to standardize dates and number formats?
I live in Europe but work via the net in an Amerian environment - DAMMIT the number format differences are annoying ($14,000,000.95 - $14.000.000,95 - 14'000'000,95 - take a pick).
Thank God I can pipe to Perl, to arrange it appropriately.
According to the article, Lomborg was charged with (directly translated) "scientific dishonesty*", which means "acts or ommissions whereby there in the research happens forgery or alteration of the scientific message or gross deception of a person's contribution in the research".
The charges fell the same day Lomborg is applying for the position of director of the newly founded Institute for Environmental evaluation in Denmark, by the council concerning scientific dishonesty.
*dishonesty is not really the correct word in English. It's more "dis-HONOUR" than "dis-sincerety".
Here's what they say:
The removal process is elegant with all COM servers politely being asked to de-register themselves from the system registry using their inbuilt deinstallation routines before being eliminated from the hard disk. IEradicator then pulls out the cleaning gear and gives the registry a good polish before returning control back to you. The MS HTML Engine (shdocvw.dll and mshtml.dll) is left on the machine to provide needed functionality for other applications that render HMTL (e.g. Outlook Express) or that launch a mini-browsing window (e.g. Winamp's Mini Browser, Netmeeting's Online Directory).
IEradicator gives you a leaner, faster desktop by eliminating all desktop web-integration including active desktop, single click, image previews, file/folder information, and custom backgrounds.
One of my clients had a Linux Apache/PHP/MySQL box that was being heavily pounded by 250+ web-based instant messaging users. (I know... using a database to handle instant messages:-( ).
What's the real problem using a DB for instant messaging? What do you propose as an alternative?

Thanx a lot for the notes, I actually got it to work - except for completing the download.
I tried to use an altered version StreamBox VCR, and got past the http error with the realmedia user agent string, but it crashes right at the end:((
In case anyone else out there is stuck, heres what I did in a win environment. You might not get the crash at the end...
1) get the url to the file.
go to the site, start viewing the movie. now you should be able to find the link in your temp internet files.
.... or, just use URLsnooper.
2) Get streambox
Now you should have the link to the.rm file, you need to save the file. For this I used StreamBox VCR. Get the latest beta and patch and crack as instructed. Test the program on some file. If you have problems, there is a manual here
3) patch streambox
you can try on the.rm file, but you will get a http error before it manages to save the file. The problem is the user agent, as targo explained. Streambox sends a mozilla header, not a realmedia header, so you will have to hex edit streambox. So get a hex editor (eg ultraedit), open the vcr.exe file and ctrl-f to find (ascii) the string "mozilla". When found, CAREFULLY replace
"Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows NT; CNETHomeBuild051099; DigExt)" with
"RMA/1.0 (compatible; RealMedia)" - followed by 44 white spaces, so you dont change the size of the file!
4) get the file
now save and run vcr.exe file, get the file. streambox should now send the proper header, and you should be getting the file.
I had to change "amount of attempts" to unlimited, and I lost the connection once... but it worked.
If this worked, it would be so beautiful, because this way I can rent a movie and download the 300kb version, which I dont actually have the bandwidth to view streamed. Anyway, thanx for the help targo. If you feel like uploading your c program somewhere, that would be cool too.

Shock! Look at the story now and you'll see it now reads "The file itself is 241mb".

I'll risk a point of two on this one,
because this bug really annoys me.
However, Reverand, I have no idea whos
fault this is, what Jamie has said and
who is responsible for fixing such a bug.
So I will mod you up in the future, but you
will have to add some quotes (with links) to convince that someone is actually refusing to
fix the bug.
[a few months] which makes this the longest lag we've ever had betweeen a set of Slashdot quesions and their answer
Not at all! I'm still looking for the replies from Kevin Lawton (Bochs, Plex86) to reply to his questions which were raised in December 2000.
For sure. My contact lenses have the logo of the company on them.
Where, how? I have never seen that.
me too.
Even better: Make a section for subscribers, where they can mod the reject bin, so the real trash gets sorted out.

Even if it did exist, what would programmers say other than "yes, with enough hacking, we can separate this out"?
Yeah, but.....
Didn't the 98lite team succeed in seperating IE from Windows with IEradicator?

I found an interview (German) with artist Gereon Schmitz, cocreator of Automaten bar. He also has a pretty interesting website (flash).
But no pictures of the bar!
You are right... that works :)
Thanx.
If anyone knows of a crashfree version of Streambox, Im interested.

URL snooper is also handy, when you want to find the link to the file.... if you dont want to browse through your temp internet files.
download the program here
A "for dummies" guide would be well appreciated.
If their product is worth 10 dollars, than people will pay 10 dollars for it
Just a detail, but I think you got it back to front. Its more like:
If people will pay 10 dollars it, it's worth 10 dollars
or...
Expect nothing - hope for the best.
that qoute... where is it from? Some old techno song, right? Can you tell me which one, cause I would love to hear it again.
