to quote mutual fund investors "past performance is no guarantee of future results." that said, "platform" companies like Yahoo or Cisco probably will enjoy incredible performance in the future...
okay its _really_ ridiculous to moderate this comment down. p.s. the reason porn companies arent public yet is that the regulatory environment is up in the air. the moment the gov't defines the rules for online porn will be the moment seth warshevsky (sp?) is the next dot com billionaire.
generally speaking i think this is the best way to do things...somewhat against the tide of throwing everything on the server i guess but much more scalable.
not that i like ms but they generally win. i mean, if you look at it they're not competing against sun, or linux, or java, or oracle, or ____ - they're competing against the COMPUTER INDUSTRY. any software company with revenues is a threat to them. its truly staggering - what are they worth now, half a trillion??? i'm more scared of them now that ballmer is running the show because he'll do _anything_ - he has no attachment to win, or anything else. he would open-source win api tomorrow if it was the correct decision (not that it is). its easy to bait them now while nt crashes etc. but they are going to compete,, and unfortunately they dont lose too often.
i just don't buy it. cut out income tax and things just arent going to work. i don't know about the days back when people lived in wood huts but therers a fair amount of infrastructure required now. regarding the military its my opinion that the u.s. has sufficiently pissed off enough countries that the moment we dont have the capability to bomb them into next year, there's going to be hell to pay. the military "black budget" exists but you're crazy to say that echelon is the reason you pay 30-50% income taxes...
they'd be pretty mad too when they called the fire department and the firepeople couldnt come because 1) the roads were too fucked up due to no funds 2) they no longer had a fire truck and 3) the canadians just invaded
>How else can I explain their insistence that, among recommendations for Mel Brooks movies and Terry Pratchett novels and MST3K episodes and Beautiful South albums (the kinds of which I've purchased from Amazon in the past) that I'd "really like" the Tony Blanks Tae-Bo tape?! (Maybe it's a subtle hint from Amazon considering I've bought lots of videos from them?)
maybe its a hint from amazon that you're getting a little flabby?

anyone familiar with cosm? (do a search on google) a guy who split off of distributed.net is creating a general-puspose protocol for doing this. also jini doesn't split things up but it makes it easy to move code...just wanted to mention these as no one else has.
