the company where i work is practically BEGGING for java coders (silicon valley based). if all the whining posters above can't find job using C then they need to learn java or some other language thats more in demand...
john phrenesdlploovic needs to grow up...that whole thing with him firing off a letter to harvard admins and now he's trying another stunt.wonder if he's going to block traffic redirected from/. this time?
previous posters have mentioned that current hardware is really slow for neural nets. okay - so why don't we create a distributed neural net??? sort of like seti but using the processor power for a learning organism...there might be one database and an ever-expanding (and contracting) supply of processor pwoer.
i share your distaste for the labels but i think they add a LOT of value in the form of branding/image-making. essentially all those nice personas you see on mtv are the result of serious marketing dollars; that component of the middleman in the music biz is not going away...major labels are the leaders in this although the net will reduce their strangelhold on distribution.
yeah...this is an interesting topic, i.e. doing distributed computing using ejb jini corba or some such vs. xmlrpc type stuff. ms might be on the winning side.
note that the comments about close-sourcing mozilla were made by alan baratz who has since left his job as head of javasoft. [also, get out more, you'll feel much better and less consipiracy theories will pop into your head...]
yeah...this is an interesting topic, i.e. doing distributed computing using ejb jini corba or some such vs. lightweight xmlrpc type stuff. ms might be on the winning side.
the other thing about jini that's cool that no one seems to realize is that it's a free distributed object platform. its not like it ONLY is useful for mobile devices, pretty much it implements the LINDA principles using java code and provide a nice starting point for people who want to use a nice simple distributed object framework for any number of applications.
the interesting part of this is how sap is making an end-run around NT...there's a real battle going on in enterprise sw and microsoft is moving up the food chain. right now oracle is target #1 but pretty soon sap is going to get the crosshairs. essentially microsoft is picking apart baan's stuff so they can learn how the enterprise game is played. sap is using linux as a defensive/offensive maneuver. this is the kind of thing thats' going to make linux REALLY legit.
palm could also use a new ceo while its at it...palm has really given ms time to recover. for instance their feet-dragging in implementing WAP is ridiculous! They should have full support for web standards. teh only other option is that windows apis become standard "on the palm" (heh). no way theres' going to be some kind of lock-in for the palm api...

ironically i remember thinking macOS sucked as a third-grader when we used it at school to program BASIC -- i liked dos and commodores much better!
what are the areas that typically require heavy-duty processing power? all i know of is weather modeling and graphics rendering...
yeah, the anti-java bigots here ALWAYS forget about towerj
come on now! we all know that plot is irrelevant these days!!! its all about explosions and breasts.

theres no loyalty in software game
do you really have to pay sun for commercial java apps? its funny, we sell java software and don't send sun any checks.
in cali summer is all year long baby ;)

there. happy?

hm...i wonder if all the app servers, distributed object systems etc. written in java might provide some proof that java's networking support is good
html seems to work very very well also.
how stable is blackdown 1.2 jvm???
theoretically anything can be done if enough time/effort goes into it. point is, the java.net package is available TODAY.

okay had to say it...;)

how is this done?
whats the url?
