I have an HTC Hero (I'm in Australia), and it's excellent. HTC have done a fantastic job of polishing up the UI (custom homescreen and widgets). The onscreen keyboard works really well, and it all seems like a well integrated platform.
Check out the videos on the HTC site, and see if you don't immediately get a case of overwhelming gadget lust;)
Also, look up Locale for it. It can change settings on your phone depending on *where you are*. IMO, it's Android's killer app.
I'm starting to notice a worrying trend from Oracle
First they bought out InnoBase, now SleepyCat, and it looks like probably JBoss soon..
Is Oracle/Ellison attemping to simply buy out a good sized chunk of the mature open source offerings? For what purpose I wonder? To stop (or slow down) their competition with Oracle's own products? To use them against Microsoft and/or IBM?
The parameter in question was just increasing the maximum number of indexes allowed in the database. Not something which you would expect to destroy everything.
Believe me, it was MySQL's fault.. NDB is seriously seriously flakey
The other thing to note with MySQL Cluster, is that, even in 'stable' releases of MySQL, is horribly unstable, and prone to massive data loss..
We deployed it ourselves, and it worked ok for a while, but things went very very wrong when we tried updating one of the configuration parameters, causing us to to inexplicably lose quite a bit of data.
Avoid it. At least for another generation or two, or three.
Really, who cares? As long as the bandwidth between two peers is good, does it matter? Ping time isn't an issue, because you're never gonna get a torrent in real time.
Yes, it *does* matter, like the situation I have here in New Zealand, where I get charged for international traffic at 1/10 the rate that I get charged for local traffic. And with a monthly cap of 5GB of international traffic, it matters *very* much
I'd definitely check them out... in our project, we did 80% of the development on JOnAS, but eventually moved to JBoss because of it's more mature clustering implementation. If we hadn't needed that, we were going to go with JOnAS all the way into production.
We've been using this mix ourselves for a little while now... the main core of the application is deployed on JBoss, where all the heavy processing occurs, with scheduled jobs etc running via Quartz
The web-based components that the users interact with are written in PHP5 - a decision that was not made based on any sort of execution speed differences that may or may not exist between PHP and JSP, but on the shorter development time we were going to have with PHP
Some opensource projects require that they be signed - one that comes to mind is the BouncyCastle Crypto API for Java - its got a BSD-style licence, but in order to use it in a JVM without hassle, then the.jar has to be signed with a key that has gone through some sort of process with Sun.
There's nothing stopping you from going through this process yourself, but it's apparently painful and long-winded.
BouncyCastle have done this, thus making it easy for the rest of us.
I think the banks of the world might have something to say about that, and last time I checked, they are way bigger, and wield *much* bigger sticks than the MPAA/RIAA
It was also used to make the very excellent racing game: Skidmarks and Skidmarks 2
I too, dabbled a bit in BlitzBasic, and I was very impressed - it produced very fast code, due to the fact it was actually compiled as opposed to interpreted.
It uses either Tomcat or Jetty on the web tier too!
The documentation is (fairly) good, and the developers and communitiy are fast to respond, and very helpful. JOnAS has also received a grant to get full J2EE certification

What is delicious?
This sounds exactly like the Google Web Toolkit ....
It's what some some countries (UK, Australia, New Zealand) call year 11 (11th grade?) of schooling.

At any rate, I don't like it, not one bit
Give Scribus a try..

For me, art must express some level of emotion.
It does. More often that not, code inspires in me pure, unadulterated rage

JOnAS is our there... free, and LGPL'ed and is already J2EE 1.4 certified
It's also not too bad at all...

Whole thing works very well
I patent kicking Jeff Bezos in the nuts.. oh no, wait, I'd want anyone to be free to do that in an unrestricted, royalty free fashion....
More like friggin' Commander-in-Chief if you ask me :)

Perhaps the poster could ask them what they do?
The main difference appears to be that AACS can revoke an entire player model if a hack appears against it
In that case, why would any manufacturer in their right mind produce anything under such terms? That would just be insane
Also, Nelson is probably one of the least newsworthy places on the planet.
:-)
It however, it quiet, has stunning weather, awesome beaches, friendly hippy locals. Many nice holidays spent in and around Nelson

Yes, but you also have a 10GB international cap...
:)
which is a lot less than 500GB
Personally, I'm on the 2Mbit cable plan with the awesome-o FIVE gig cap
$399 Dell PC: "No Wireless"
$499 Minimac: "AirPort Extreme- and Bluetooth-ready"
So.... that'd be the "no wireless" option for the minimac too?

So $24/share assumed some synergies.
Assumed some what now??
That would be like comparing M$ Word with Eclipse: "Best software to type text with".
:)
Of course, we all know that the best one of those is vi..... or emacs... nope, definetely vi
Indeed. So how about JOnAS
It uses either Tomcat or Jetty on the web tier too!
