Based on the code it jsut looks like they want to expose the data in samba via an ldap interface. it's actually quite interesting as this would let you expose NT4 environments via ldap pretty quickly. Anyone from samba have any details?
AD is winning because of the MS domination on the desktop. It has nothing to do with LDAP in general. In order to have a well managed windows based network you need AD. It's really just that simple. Yes, there's an auhtenticaiton plugin system in windows that novell implements....but that's gotten novell next to nowhere. Every network out there that has windows machines runs AD. What's interesting is that AD is now moving out of the NOS space and into e-biz/enterprise space. People are using AD to manager partners & customers as well as employees.
Remember that java isn't just the jvm or the class library source. It also includes JSSE, java's encryption framework which probably can't be open sourced (comercial restrictions, export laws, legal liabilities of possible changes to shipped trusted certificates...). I am sure there are other pieces that are sensitive as well. You wouldn't be able to use SSL out of the box with a JRE that didn't have a JSSE implementation.
I was at EclipseCon and saw his speach. He didn't say that the last "version" was hacked in 45 seconds. He said the "average" time it took to hack a computer without a firewall on the internet (including M$ and *nix) was 45 seconds and that a version of SELinux is on the net with no firewall or root password and it has not yet been compromised.
This seems to be just a pre-compiler to call all of the glVertex() funtions needed to perform accurate shading. It seems to be a tool from the programmers end, not the card's end.
It seems to be saying that even thought M$ is submitting.NET to EMCA, it can still license IT'S OWN implementation to others. M$ will have no rights to license the interface (which is all that really matters, as Miguel de Icaza said). All this means is that if Ximian wants to use any of M$ existing code, it will have to go through M$, and since M$ can't use 'Viral' licenses, that would kill Mono's ability to be GPL. Since the C# project they are building is being started from scratch, i assume the rest of Mono is from scratch as well.
I am hoping the code is based on (and compatable with) PostreSQL or even MySQL or perhaps the recently open sourced SAPDB. The key isn't the database it's self, it's the front end tools to configure and manage the DB. That's where SQL server's strength lies, in it's extremely powerful configuration tools. Throw in it's data transformation services and you have a db that works well for small to medium sized businesses. Redhat could take this niche with a better priced, better built product then M$ with a front end that works on both windows and linux (they did a good job with source navigator).
Can't you just play the cd on your portable cd player and pipe the output into the line in on the soudboard? itmight not be as easy but it should work (unless we all have to buy new CD players)
In my short time of being a programmer i've found that often a hybrid of OOP and structural programming work really well. Both styles work in their own situations.
The author didn't seem to want a real comparison, but to trash OOP. Each have their stengths and their weaknesses. If you use OOP when it would be better to use structural, it will lead to bad code and vice-a-versa. It is more important that a project is well organised then the style that is going to be used.
I recently read the "conversation" between Linus Torvalds and Andy Tenanbaum about Micro Kernel Vs. Macro Kernel. After reading both it and Linus' essay in Open Sources i figured that it was the organization of the project that was more important then the paradigm used. There's no need for a flame war over this, it's just not nessasary.

JavaLDAP was originally written by our founder. It's still available, but not activly developed.
Of corse it was a setup for the up comming news! Linus already admitted the tooth fairy and santa clause wrote linux!
ps: Just for Fun is a great book, I think i ripped through it in a couple of days.

Why not just erase the stupid "generated-by" meta tags? Then their is NO way to prove you used FrontPage Crapthousand.
