  1. CoComment down on DDoS on Domain Registrar · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I saw that CoComment.com was going down - it's a comment tracking service. They explain why on their blog.

  2. No mention of the Alexa Web Search Platform on U.S. Gov To Spider Internet · · Score: 1
    I was rejected in my Alexa Web Search Platform application, so I got curious about these guys who got in. Checked the article.

    No mention.

    The closest reference there is:


    The system would then store it as "entities" - linked data about people, places, things, organizations, and events, according to a report summarizing a 2004 DHS conference in Alexandria, Va.


    Nope.
  3. v7ndotcom elursrebmem Search Engine Competition on Understanding Search Engines? · · Score: 1

    You might want to study "v7ndotcom elursrebmem" - the latest Search Engine competition. Just type it in your favorite search engine. If you enter it in Google, you'd even get strange ads.

    Some are joining to get prizes from the competition, like v7ndotcom elursrebmem: Blogging for Charity

  4. Mozdex on Understanding Search Engines? · · Score: 1

    To see Nutch in action... Mozdex

  5. Re:Price on Alexa Web Search Platform Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's a way of putting it... Crawling and indexing.

  6. Re:Price on Alexa Web Search Platform Released · · Score: 1

    Thanks Savantissimo and NigelJohnstone - the docs are quite dense and I didn't fully understand the difference.

  7. Re:Price on Alexa Web Search Platform Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google, Yahoo, and MSN APIs are free but they do the searching for you and they have caps. Since you are paying Alexa, you can use it as much as you can pay. And, this new service does not offer search on it on its own. The Alexa Search Platform gives you only archive access - you have to do indexing and search on your own.

  8. Re:Google Adsense Javascript on 2005 The Turning Point For Online Ads · · Score: 1

    Javascript is mandatory. Without it, there's no way G could put new content on your page - without requiring people to use PHP, etc. and let them stick G code inside their servers.

  9. Ex Googlers on The Google Caste System · · Score: 1

    I think Doug Edwards would agree, in Xooglers, his ex-Googlers blog.

  10. Windows Live Third Party Developers on Leaked Memo Gives Microsoft New Direction? · · Score: 1
  11. Getting to the root of it on Initializing all Java classes at Start-Up · · Score: 1

    If you want to dictate how the JVM starts up at a fundamental level, go hack on Apache Harmony, the open source Java implementation. They're just getting started so your contribution could go a long way.

  12. BPO. on Google And IBM Team Up Search Technology · · Score: 1

    In these parts, it's business process outsourcing. More than anything, that's what affects our economy.

    So if it helps people search for jobs, that's a win.

  13. Less reliance on Adsense on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 1

    Definitely. So they could rely less on third-party publishers - see Spolsky's Something Rotten in AdSense.

  14. Ning on PHP Succeeding Where Java Has Failed · · Score: 1

    Social platform Ning has marca as cofounder and supports PHP as its first language.

  15. Write it from Scratch on Microsoft Reduces Shared Source Licenses · · Score: 1

    If they want to push their licenses without questions on the code pedigree, maybe they should open up a project from scratch so it's "Shared Source" from the beginning. No question who wrote the code or which company they licensed/bought/stole it from.

    This is probably why it's the Visual Studio 2005 starter kits that's being offered - basically demo code that can just as easily be written by a Microsoft MVP not employed by them.

  16. WiMAX and remote areas on The Problems with Broadband in America · · Score: 1

    If Intel is testing WiMAX in remote Southeast Asian locations, it should be good for broadband in America.

  17. Cisco moving up to the application layer on Cisco Updates Network Security Technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    It looks like Cisco branded products are moving up the application layer to enterprise products. Perhaps plain IP is now a commodity - they have retained the Linksys brand and not folded the products into "Cisco."

    The PCs mentioned in the article could be clients for their application oriented networking and message queueing architecture and product line.

  18. Re:Geronimo info on New Hopes From Sun's Idea Factory · · Score: 2, Informative

    IBM offers support for Geronimo. That's competition on the services front. They are even hosting a contest on Sourceforge.

  19. IBM's Influence on Venture Capital in Open Source · · Score: 3, Informative

    IBM bought Gluecode Software and adopted its flagship product, the Apache Geronimo J2EE application server. Gluecode's founder went on to found Simula Labs with portfolio of 2 companies at the moment. One of them is sponsoring the ActiveMQ messaging server, a sister project of Geronimo.

  20. Or use a big fan on A Fanless Graphics Card from ASUS · · Score: 1
    Or use a big fan like the Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 5 (Rev 2) (review with pics) with "Direct Heat Exhaust System" (DHES):


    The DHES draws cool air from inside the case and exhausts warm air outwards. This prevents the fan from recycling warm air to cool the GPU, which increases cooling performance. Further the DHES lowers the air temperature inside the case, because the heat of the GPU will be carried out directly.
  21. JBoss is LGPL on Microsoft And JBoss Collaborate On Server Software · · Score: 1

    Why we use LGPL. Ironic that Microsoft supports this.

    I guess it's much easier to work with an existing company than reuse code from projects such as Geronimo, Apache's J2EE server. They could embed the code into their applications under the business-friendly terms of the Apache Software Foundation license. But then, Geronimo is adopted by IBM.

  22. Re:Pretty good advertising by IBM... on Keeping the Lights On · · Score: 1

    Good call. IBM Developerworks is now the richest source of articles about Geronimo, and Eclipse Webtools, but if you need support... there you go.

  23. Palm's free choice of OS on Palm Teams With Microsoft for Smart Phone · · Score: 1

    Even if "PalmSource sale won't kill Palm OS", that OS now has competition as Palm has a free choice. Maybe they couldn't wait for PalmSource/Access to finish its Linux-based project?

    That Linux offering needs to be compelling since the low end of the market is coming out with more Linux-based devices, like the GP2x.

  24. "Broken" on Nabaztag the WiFi Bunny · · Score: 1

    Sound like a mix between the Tagalog nabasag ("broken" as in glass), and "busted". Not what you want for your bunnies.

  25. More to come on Alternative MMOG Updates · · Score: 1

    MMOGs here in the Philippines are almost all Koreans due to the licensing model where the LAN/Internet shop owners need to pay for the access. Players pay for their own access. Still, it's money going out of the country. There's hope that emerging local companies would come up with MMOGs for the local market.
