These Clevo systems are rebadged by a bunch of different companies: Sager, Alienware, Hypersonic, Prostar... These are great systems if you need the power and mobility.
I have a Sager 9860 (same casing as this). I take it to client sites every day. It's heavy, but not too much for just walking from the parking lot. And it has a lot of power. I typically run an application server and a database while I'm working, in addition to my IDE, various office apps and music player. If you need the performance, it's worth it.
Of course, if you don't, don't buy it. It's always interesting how so many people assume that they understand the needs of everyone else.
I think you said it yourself: it some cases we are not allowed free speech. I.e., it some cases we do not have free speech.
This is a free speech issue, just like campaign ads you mention are a free speech issue. Campaign finance reform/laws has damaged free speech.
Now, your trademark argument may be better. If someone is committing fraud, fine.
However, laws regulating what someone can say and when they can say it in a political campaign are one of the worst possible infringements on freedom of speech.
If you end up using Tomcat, I would suggest you deploy it as part of JBoss, even if you don't use EJB. The reason is the enhancements to Tomcat delivered by the JBoss integration. These include hot-deploy for Tomcat, which Tomcat (afaik) doesn't give you on its own, JMX, clustering, security, connection pooling (maybe Tomcat does this...), etc.
Also, as a further suggestion, ensure that you get information on Tomcat 4.x, as it is intended for production use. The 3.x versions were not.
I don't know how it's turning out, but this is one of the things that the Stellation people are (or were) trying to implement. You might check their home page for details:

Eclipse 2.0 Released

Eclipse gives you all that good intellisense stuff--classes, methods, parameters, auto import, etc. Even the as-you-type underlining for syntax problems.
Don't get me wrong, MS did a great job with Visual Studio, especially the.NET version. Eclipse isn't there, yet, and may never catch up as VS.NET keeps evolving. But Eclipse is very nice. And there's even a C# environment in the works (as well as a C++ environment).
It's not JBuilder. It's a new IDE from IBM/OTI. The base platform is open source (OSI approved, I believe), then companies add their proprietary plugins on top of that (like IBM and Rational). Or you can use a variety of free plugins.
The concept is basically the same as NetBeans--it just seems (may not be true) that a lot more companies have decided to back Eclipse. The Eclipse folks just took a different path for their IDEs. Very cool that we have a choice between so many good IDEs that are open source.
There have been phones out there for a long time that facilitated synching numbers. My Motorola Timeport (over a year old) will synch with my Outlook contacts list just like a Palm, and it's small and light and cool and...
I have exactly the same product, with none of the problems. But I'm using a cable modem. I have never had to reset the thing; it's worked flawlessly for over a year.
I have a DL-704 (or is it DI-704). It was very inexpensive, and has a lot more features than my friends' more expensive routers from Linksys and Netgear.
It'll do all of the port mapping you need, but I don't know that it will "host" several IP addresses (my networking knowledge isn't that great). However, I would think the port mapping would be all you would need.
Mozilla allows this. Check out the release notes on the latest version. It's through JavaScript, but it's easy to see what to do. I just blocked all of them, though.
I mostly agree. NASA is another one of those "I believe in this, so I'm going to force you to pay for it" programs. If you believe in NASA, then fund a private organization to do it. Don't force me to pay for it, too.
Same goes for all of the other nice little programs politicians cook up. "This our moral obligation, so we're going to force you to pay for it whether you like it or not!"
This is a good introductory book, but not necessarily to using patterns. It is a great introduction to OOA&D, and might get you started with understanding how patterns are used, but that's not really its focus. Maybe it's enough, though. I just wanted to say that it might not be exactly what you think.
I personally think the GOF book is a great introduction to patterns, but maybe the non-catalog text is too short...
I've used a one-hand keyboard, but not the one in the link. I broke my elbow a few years ago and tried one of the BAT keyboards from InfoGrip.
I think that keyboard suffered from bad design (most vowels required lots of keys, while some uncommon consonants required one). And I was very slow on it. My typing speed was better if I just used the accessibility API available in WinNT.
I now use a Kenesis Ergo Professional QD in Dvorak mode, and am very happy with it.
I'm not sure if you meant to say that IBM's JDK is not based on Sun's. It is; only the JIT is different, I believe (and I'm sure they have each fixed different bugs).
I agree that IBM has been doing some good stuff with Java + Linux (JDK, Jikes, VisualAge, etc).
Did you even read what he said about hiding work before you replied?
The models being proposed do not pay the first one to complete the work (like a bounty). The sponsor enters into a contract with a developer (before any work is done), and then pays the developer at milestones.
The source is available to everyone along the way.
I think that's likely if a project only has one sponsor. But I just don't see that as a problem. Why would we want to resist bowing to a companies demands? After all, if they are the sole source of requirements, then that is exactly what should be done. I guess I just don't see your point, here.
However, it seems that sourceXchange is anticipating that some (most?) projects will be funded by several parties (and possibly many partise). I think this would provide a lot of balance. It might also make requirements gathering much more difficult. Well just have to see how it goes.

Nice.
Just thinking if I was to write up a quick bio ... man, I'd start with patterns ... Surprised me that wasn't even in there.
His patterns work doesn't rate a mention?

Someone I worked with over the summer was using one of these, and, yes, I believe it was from 3M.
He really loved it. He had been having a lot of pain while mousing, and it was gone.
Where are all of these things? Do you have links for them? If it's true, great, provide the links. Otherwise, it looks quite dodgy.

- My Bank accounts (paying bills, transfering funds, etc)
- My credit card accounts (Visa, Discover, Amex; getting my current balance)
- My brokerage accounts (Ameritrade, getting the current value of my stocks, etc.)
I think this is much better than using different web pages to access different accounts. I have everything consolodated.I only wish Quicken would make a Linux port; I have to use my wife's computer for all of our finances.
Lots of banks offer free bill pay on their sites. One is Wells-Fargo. And they already have all your info, so it's not like you're losing anything.
