    ... or an advertisement for OptimalJ?

    This has resulted in a tremendous backlog of projects," says Aad Van Schetsen, Compuware sales director for application development and integration solutions in the Europe, Middle East, Africa region.

    Ben van Niekerk, Compuware SA product manager, says locally the backlog is mainly in projects to integrate new applications into Java legacy code.

    Van Schetsen says the key to the success of tools such as Compuware's OptimalJ is their use of a model-driven architecture

    Tools like OptimalJ ensure best practices and standards as well as enable companies to leverage the core capabilities of their developers by allowing them to focus on applications and not the underlying technologies.

    "Although we are still in the education phase, particularly with less experienced Java developers and development companies, momentum is gradually growing with OptimalJ sales increasing threefold in the past financial year."

  14. Re:What does their Terms of Service say? on Dispute Over IP Sharing Escalates · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, not all DSL providers are completely brain-dead. Here's a couple of Q's from Pacific Bell's DSL FAQ -

    Can I run dedicated servers with DSL?
    Yes, as long as you have a static IP address (not included in promotion) on your DSL service. The best part of DSL is that the larger bandwidth enables you to have an always on connection to the Internet. This means that you can run anything from mail servers to FTP sites from your home.

    Can I have my own website?
    Yes, you can run a website if you buy DSL with a static IP address. With the dedicated connection that DSL offers, you will be able to run a website 24 hours a day.

    How do I network two PC's together on a DSL line?
    We recommend that you contact a LAN consultant to help with this set-up for your small business or home. Our technical support center does not have the expertise and cannot assist you with networking.

    I don't work for Pac Bell - I'm just a happy customer (just as long as I never have to call their tech support).
