Gross Profit on Subscription and Services: $40,565,000
Total Operating Expenses: $150,509,000
Net Loss for 9 month period ending November 2001: $-97,965,000
That doesn't seem that healthy to me, especially since 1 year ago the net loss was $-62,495,000. And Open Source Services only counted for $13,641,000 of the revenue.
And in an economical drought of the IT industries, a CS degree won't get you far if you are up against good CompEng canidates (with similar experience, of course).
That depends on the school. At Purdue, the CompEng people concentrate a lot on hardware, and don't really get into the software aspects, and hence have little experience and knowledge of things like Database systems, networking (higher level, not packet level), and the like. For someplace like Intel, then CompEngs would have the advantage, but for a purely software house, CS is on a slightly better footing. If nothing else, then they are pretty much equal, and it then depends on the soft skills (writing, ability to speak, etc.)
I saw a demo where someone did some work on an XP pro box with a HPJordana with the XP Remote desktop sharing client and a 802.11 card. It was pretty sweet, they had the whole desktop, with scrolling of course, and it was fast.
I shelled out the $10 for the registration of WinZip in 1995. It has been extremely worth it, as long as the upgrades are free. If they started charging for each upgrade, then I wouldn't buy it.
I am currently developing a 100% Pure Java pruduct using Sun's Forte Community Edition, using JDK1.4 on Windows XP Pro. Guess what....it works fine.
Sun doesn't have a case. Didn't they sue MS eariler about using the MSJAVA SDK? Well. . they won. Now MS is saying. . "Fine, you don't want us to have Java, you win. We will not longer have Java (by default)." Now Sun is whineing again. You can't have it both ways.
What is next? Are they going to fobid the use of Kaffe? Or IBM's? What about Oracle's, that one isn't 100% compatible (try using JNI with it)?
Marxist democracy belongs to the same family as mass-less strings and frictionless surfaces. Great for theories, but you could never find them in the real world.
Check out Micromaster. Flash is $99.00. From thier site:
QUALIFIED EDUCATION USERS Educational Institutions: Defined as an accredited school organized and operated exclusively for educational purposes. An accredited school must be: A Public or Private K-12, Vocational School, Correspondence School, Junior College, College, University, Scientific or Technical Institutions accredited by associations recognized by the U.S. Department of Education and/or the State Board of Education and located in the United States.
Administrative Offices or Boards of Education of Educational Institutions including district, regional, and state administrative offices of the Educational Institutions defined above.
Full and Part Time Faculty and Staff of Educational Institutions must reside in and work at schools located in the United States.
Full and Part Time Matriculated Students of Higher Education Institutions. College, Jr. College and Career School Students qualify. A few manufacturers require a minimum course hour enrollment. High School and K-12 Students may purchase most software in our store, with the exception of Microsoft, Corel, and Lotus. Graduating seniors, accepted to college, may order Microsoft products. Students must reside in and attend school located in the United States.
Training Centers, it's Students, and Teachers, are NOT eligible for academic discounts.
The academic software program also defines public Museums and Libraries as Educational Institutions, for certain products. Hospitals that are 100% wholly owned and operated by Educational Institutions as defined above are also qualified Academic customers for certain products.
If you get a Student ID or some other proof of enrollment for you kid, then you can get the prices you want.
I used Octave quite a bit when I was working on my own box and not in a lab. The scripts then usually just needed a little tweaking and testing in the lab before turning them in to be run in full Matlab.
Yeah...tell me about it. At least the books that my dept. liked were old standbys: Dragon book (compilers), Comer books for networking (since the course was taught by comer) etc.., so you could usually find them used for good prices.
A lot of students that I know consider software perchase just like a book expense. If they are taking a Flash course, they buy the software. If they are taking a design course, they buy Photoshop, both at Educational prices. Other things like Matlab or AutoCad or Pro/E are definitly educational purchases as well.

How long after this passes will the technology be deveolped to make great analog recordings? Albums will defnitly make a comback, and I wonder how long before someone makes a turntable that uses a laser instead of a needle so that nothing actually touches the record.
Actually, I believe they do factor in Black Market. It is just another set of agents, though ones that don't follow the same rules as the rest of the 'virtural society.'
This company is across the hall from mine. They do serious simulations. It is actually pretty cool stuff.
From their webpage:
Synthetic Environments for Analysis and Simulation (SEAS) is a business and an economic war-gaming environment developed at Purdue University in close association with the Department of Defense. SEAS, LLC replicates the "real world" in its most crucial dimensions including competition, regulation, decision variables, and interaction dynamics. It consists of inter-linked goods, stocks, bonds, labor, and currency markets. In these markets two types of agents interact: Live: People acting as buyers, sellers, regulators, and intermediaries.
Virtual: Artificially intelligent software agents mimicking human consumers in a narrow domain. These agents allow the environment to achieve both depth, through human agents, and breadth, through virtual agents, in representation of the economy.

Wow. . and who would have thought that the "Ted Mail" commercial was true!
I just want the technology to progress to the point where I can get a "Teddy" from AI.

So. .how much would this cause an outrage if it was shown that MS was doing the same thing.
Sun is saying this is about the applets, because that is all the is not shipped with Windows XP, the ability to run applets in IE by default.
Mmmm . . . . troll food.
.and 80% or the people at Sun that were laid off were in the Solaris groups.
Java is not about applets. MS has never tried to mess with server-side java. Just applets, and some desktop programs.
Oh.
They were forced to take it out by a previous Sun lawsuit.
This is not good. How many people did sun lay off? How many salaries could have been paid by the legal fees that this will cost?
Why don't they just use their resources and make a product such that average Joe Bob Customer will want to download the 20+MB binary to install.
Or if they really want to, send out CDs of the Java Runtime Environment ala AOL. I'm sure that would be cheaper, and more effective.

Why not the coast? Rolling blackouts.
.and the 7 different language thing happens here too.
Why not the coast? Cost of 1000ft^2 apt about 1K more then in Indiana.
Why not the coast? Unless you are from the area, large distance from family.
Why not the coast? Cost of living.
Why not the coast? 1.5 hour commutes.
