That means your phone can do unattended data transfers to other phones. Just be careful not to unintentionally expose your MP3s, because the **AA would have to considerably staff up their anti-file-sharing efforts if billions of mobile handset users were able to serve files to any user with a Web browser.
The IDE is a convenient way to combine tools. The important thing is that students understand how to use a debugger to inspect a program as it is running, and a profiler so that they gain an understanding of what is and isnt important to performance. Most good IDEs make debugging easier and more powerful. Some have good profiling tools, too.
But then, this depends on the curriculum actially taking advantage of tools like debuggers and profilers. But, with Eclipse, Netbeans, and some versions of Visual Studio available at no cost, there is no excuse to deprive students of the easiest environment in which to use these tools. The command line adds nothing to the learning experience.
I use Windows for producing documents and code for work. When I play music, I use an iPod, which is much easier to connect to my home and car stereo. If there was iTunes for Linux, that would be all I need.
I recently had to bring up a Linux machine for running a build process that requires Linux. Installing Ubuntu was faster than installing Windows. It worked on the first try on an old Dell laptop with a bad LCD I had lying around. Even though I had not used Linux for development tasks before, I found that finding my way around was simple. The IDEs I use run on both Windows and Linux. Never spent a single moment on "uhh, how do I do this?" The fonts are nice, nothing looks or feels clunky, and there were a lot of pleasant suprises.
Linux has gotten much easier to install and use. Meanwhile, keeping malware off my Windows systems is a chore, and it seems to be getting worse all the time. Windows, Linux, and Macintosh are all easy enough to use, but I just could not recommend Windows to anyone who doesn't have the expertise to eradicate a malware infestation. Buy a DVD player, it's cheaper than the time you will lose the first time you get an infestation.
Plus, there is the lack of trust that is building up around Windows: The Sony rootkit got exempted from detection by commercial malware detectors. Sony might have even been able to successfully sue anyone who revealed the rootkit's existence. Do you think that is the only one out there? Who needs that? Why did Microsoft allow Sony to do that to Microsoft's customers?
Answer: Open enough that the most important Linux distributions will include Java.
It is correct that Java is close to being FOSS, but that makes it even more the pity that Sun could not make the few adjustments needed to attain this goal.
Sun should by now be over the trauma of Microsoft attempting to hijack Java and accept things like SWT as the kind of sideshow that the Ubuntu/Kubuntu thing is.
The cellular mobile network in San Francisco cost somewhere between 10X and 100X more, depending on which equipment you count as part of that network.
I would wager that that $15 million is in the neighborhood of, possibly less than, the cost of the trunked radio network used by San Francisco police and other public safety mobile units.
Even if there are significant problems to be fixed as Earthlink climbs the learning curve on operating a network like this, capex and opex looks like it is well within reach of what Google could expect to make off of users running some obligatory piece of Google software to get free access.
So who is sweating it more? Earthlink, with $15M at stake, or Verizon/AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile with their monster bond issues hanging out there on the theory that $60/month mobile bills go out as far as the eye can see?
Schwartz is right, to the extent he can be at this time: Sun does benefit from Java.
The interviewer, however, has a point that Schwartz did not address: It is equally clear that Sun could benefit more from Java.
Schwartz brings up mobile Java. Sun won by default: Qualcomm keeps their application environment on their chips, and Microsoft keeps their's on their OS. Schwartz has no answer to how this victory is monetized. There are some obvious missed opportunities in mobile commerce servers, for example.
If Sun really wants Java to be like electricity and Sun to make generators, the open-sourcing of Java is critical: It has to be a top-tier choice when considering managed lanaguages for all kinds of Linux software, including desktop software. That means it has to be in the top Linux distributions - VM, libraries, everything.
Sun has done a great job of turning NetBeans into an open sourceIDE that is very approachable for beginners. Matisse brings NetBeans up to Visual Studio standards and beyond for making GUI layout easy. Debugging, profiling, and round-trip UML are easy and free in NetBeans. If they can convince Red Hat and Ubuntu to bundle Java and Netbeans, it will be the path of least resistance for new coders making application on Linux.
After that, Sun still has the task ahead of it of getting the most out of Java in a market that rejects lock-in. There will be no replay of the dot-bombs that raised millions and immediately spent millions on Sun hardware and Oracle database software. Sun has to make their hardware the most attractive for key segments of a market that is using Java. They have a good start in their deals with Google. They need to build on that.
If you RTFA instead of riffing on the./ post title, which isn't even Jonathan Schwartz's blog post title - "When I first met Scott..." - you would see that while, in one short paragraph, he does lionize MacNealy, comparing him to Henry Ford and making the claim of launching a million jobs, most of Schwartz's blog post is a lot more realistic.
He accurately points out that, when Windows 95 shipped, Microsoft was sweeping all before it, including Apple, which was adrift at the time. It took a lot of balls to say "No" to Windows then.
Too bad Sun didn't make more out of that decision. Apple now has 20% more revenue and half as many employees. The plan seems to have been to milk the Internet bubble forever. "The network is the computer" is just a slogan. There is no special AJAX or WebOS sauce in Solaris.
Schwartz praises MacNealy for holding down job cuts in R&D. But you have to ask "What the hell are 30,000 people doing at Sun?" when Apple somehow manages to make the best personal computer hardware, and personal computer OS software, and the best consumer electronics device on the market, all with one quarter of the number of employees as Microsoft.
Schwartz is very, very smart. He knows he has to make big changes, like getting the open-sourcing of Java right, and figuring out how to use Linux, during his honeymoon time in the CEO position or the chance will be lost.
What Schwartz does not mention is that MacNealy set a bad tone and created problems unneccessarily. Statements like "You have no privacy, get over it." and the inability to get out in front of the Linux parade are the reasons Schwartz is in and MacNealy is out. Hopefully this is the last time Schwartz looks back. He has plenty of very hard work ahead of him.
When I worked for a mobile game company, I read the Jamdat S-1 (an SEC filing that goes with an IPO) because it was one of the few sources of hard numbers about the mobile game industry. I blogged my comments here: http://jamdats1blog.blogspot.com/
It comes down to that mobile games are a niche, but they are a niche in a stupendously huge market. Big enough that the first-tier mobile game publishers are on track to become as big as some console and PC game publishers.
Nobody has broken out of the niche yet, but it is likely that the products that do break out will come from a leading mobile publisher. EA was only in part buying Jamdat's performance in the niche. They also bought a better chance of breaking out, and of breaking out more explosively through Jamdat's well-developed channels.
The mobile channel is unique. While it can be frustrating making a buying descision on, if you are lucky, a couple screen-shots and a terse description, it is also a very low-friction channel. You carry the shop in your pocket, and you already have a billing relationship with the shop owner. In Verizon's mobile games channel, subscription pricing is common, and lucrative. Jamdat has global channel presence where EA previously had none in the mobile "walled garden."
Sprint is an unusual case in that they use use J2ME for mobile applications on a CDMA network. Most network operators using CDMA use Qualcomm's BREW application environment. So you have less choice among handsets for J2ME software development if you choose the Sprint network.
There is nothing second-rate about Sprint's handsets, but they may not be the best choice for individual developers getting into J2ME development.
In my experience, Nokia, Motorola, and SonyEricsson have well-documented J2ME implementations. In the U.S., you can use GSM handsets from these manufacturers on the Cingular or T-Mobile networks.
The price of signatures is unfortunate. You should check both the handset manufacturer's and network operator's policies before making your choice.
Until the 1930's or so when organized crime figured out that state run police was terrible at tracking them across borders.
Take a look at your state police budget and tell me if you still believe that. With the size and capability of modern state government, there is no excuse for federal mission creep. There is really nothing outside the reach of state government except national defense.
In a roundabout sort of way, Original Intent is looking very practical these days.
The shuttle is a perfect example of why the military and bureaucrats should not be allowed to meddle in scientific discovery.
More like the other way around: The costs and risks of the Space Shuttle make sense, or are, at least, consistent if you look at it as part of winning the Cold War by having better satellite reconnaissance, which is the part that is publicly documented, and, maybe, for some other military purposes that are not known.
Sending a high school teacher and students' science projects into space are unjustifiable at almost any level of cost and risk.
Part of the decision-making failure in the Shuttle program was to not limit the program to military missions and to science missions that had very high value and no Earth-based or unmanned rocket alternatives.
When all quality housing was made of stone, it was easy to see that only a tiny minority of humanity would ever be well-housed, because quarrying and stone-cutting would never scale-up to be accessible to the masses.
If you step outside your teepee and don't let yourself get locked into such fallacious static analyses, it is also easy to see that India, China, and Africa could support middle-class lifestyles for the masses if the artifacts of those lifestyles were made of different materials.
In this particular case, the developing world will probably be able to figure out how to wire a house with aluminum without the houses catching fire.
More I look.Net, more I've started to wonder why it has been so overlooked..NET sure is nice. C# is the only language that can go toe to toe with Java and win most aspects of the comparison..NET confers the abilty to mix in most other languages that are/have been used in various Microsoft products..NET Compact Framework puts J2ME in the shade, and has since it first came out several years ago, and will continue to at least until a replacement fot MIDP 2.0 ships in quantity - at least 18 months, and perhaps twice as long.
So why can't.NET get any respect? Because the world has changed, and only a minority of customers will settle for a really nice closed-source solution that runs on one server OS, with one supplier controlling the pricing model of the tool chain, platform, and OS.
In mobile platforms, Microsoft insists on tightly coupling.NET with their mobile OS, and its pricing model and sole-supplier disadvantages. Handset makers have no desire to add another royalty burden while becoming further commoditized. Mobile network operators have no desire to propagate Microsoft branding among their customers.
And then there is the fact there is no compelling user-visible use of.NET in the everyday Windows XP experience. While Sun is at least as pathetic as Microsoft in marketing their technologies, most Windows users have seen a Java logo in the course of running an applet or a Java application. Tens of millions of mobile phone users - a number that could plausibly grow tenfold in the next couple of years - know their phones run Java applications and have bought at least one of those applications in a mobile commerce transaction. Do you know any end-users that know they bought anything that depends on.NET?
it's only natural and smart for the FCC to impose 911 emergency access to VoIP users in order to ensure a very basic level of user safety:
Are you implying that before there was e911, and before there was 911, that there was measurably higher mortality? Got any numbers? If not, what is the justification?
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."...gets excluded from the debate about rights. One of the dangers of the Bill of Rights that was debated at the time it was written is that it would become an enumeration of rights. It is absoutely clear the Founders did not intend that to be the outcome.
That leads to several uncomfortable conclusions, especially for those bent on expanding the powers of government. But there it is, spelled out plain as day.
Scrum is the upshot of the fact that standard project tracking tools don't adapt well to software projects. You can't see the difference between 30% or 70% of the coding on a large task being complete, so Scrum tells you not to have tasks that large and to only count something complete when it is 100% complete. Even the XP rule of thumb that tasks should not take more than a week to complete is too coarse-grained.
Scrum admonishes the manager to ask "What got completed today?" If the answer is "Nothing." then you don't really know if project completion is closer or not.
That is common sense, but it is uncommon in projects that have misapplied project management tools.
The above sounds correct for growing biodiesel algae in ponds with no inputs other than sunlight.
The system described in the article is meant to be installed at powerplants. The article doesn't spell it out, but it sounds as if C02 and waste heat from the power plant are key to making the system productive.
If you really believe that, buy stock in those corporations and you'll get your money back. If they are that well-subsidized, it's a no-risk investment.
To put it another way, it's difficult to imagine many people playing a Game Boy for as much time as they'd play a PS2, GameCube, or XBOX.
Try a CRPG like Final Fantasy Tactics or Fire Emblem, or a strategy game like Advance Wars II. All of these, and other CRPGs, are both highly rated and top selling on the GBA.
One reason the hazards of cars and planes get muddled is that planes are about 10X safer than cars per mile. They also go about 10X faster. The distance becomes abstracted but the time is apperent.
He missed one prediction by a mile: Home schooling is one of the most important large-scale trends. It is the only way to scale-up a large change in education. Private schools and charter schools can't grow fast enough. Group activities will be bought a la carte: Sports clubs rather than school sports, etc.
In 10 years, some universities will start to specialize in home-schooled students.
Congress has the right to regulate interstate commerce.
A commonly abused clause. It has literally been used to regulate water because water flows between states and commerce might travel on that water. By your broad interpretation, checkpoints could be set up at state borders.
Which is, of course directly contradictory to the commerce clause, which, in fact, does not affirmatively grant government powers, but, instead, prohibits interference in interstate commerce, and authorizes federal laws to implement that prohibition.
This is the usefulness:
