You get rated 'Insightful' for stating what OpenSource zealots hope. What if this shell actually knocks the socks off *sh?
What if Longhorn does indeed provide more security, not only in default settings, but more inherently in the OpenSource?
Do you think the average developer/manager at MS is dumber than your average OS participant? (This is not a tric.. Damn, I'm falling in myself..)
But really - if "we" are to compete, we will have to steal the ideas that "work" from MS camp, just as they're "stealing" "our" ideas that WORK.
Linux is narrowing the gap to MS on the desktop (albeit slowly), and MS is narrowing the gap to Unix on eg. CLI, stability and security. Their software matures too, you know..
And then there's Apple. They make fun stuff. The are not afraid to invent, and they have the money to launch stuff that the OpenSource movement cannot. I don't quite know where to place them compared to OpenSource and MS.
I just switched last week, and I really enjoy working with my new 12" PB. And like you, I have kept Linux in my flat as a server OS (on a small, silent Dell OptiPlex) - it's a stunning combo:)
How about unix talk? I haven't used it since about 96, but I seem to remember that either the text got sent real-time (which could be considered a notification..) or there was a status change.
I think this makes just about as much sense as using a document preperation language (XML) as the basis of a database.
Your picture is turning upside down. It's the forecast that there will be a large amount of semi-structured data (XML) that's resulted in lots of the DB initiatives for efficient storage mechanisms for this kind of data. It's inefficient to store this type of data in a relational DB. Consult http://www.rpbourret.com/xml/XMLAndDatabases.htm for an introduction to the topic.
No way. SWT is not just this cool, fast piece of code. It's a collection of native bindings. You download a platform specific SWT package in order to run your SWT based code.
Sun has been fussing about IBM resorting to this non-cross-platform strategy, if you see a properly implemented Swing GUI (eg. IntelliJ), you'll realize that SWT is not really that much snappier.
Good tip! But why does "man umount" not mention that, and why is it not as simple as right clicking a device and select "unmount" (desktop assumed) or why does umount not have a --force option. Linux lacks finish (as I've also argued elswhere).
I heard one guy state that "When you're 80% done with a project, you've probably only spent 20% of the time that it takes to complete it with splendor".
I think that Linux is there, it's 80%. Things just don't work out of the box, and they should if we wish to hope to compete with Windows or Mac OS X. Try daisy chaining external firewire drives on RH 9, it just doesn't work. Try changing network profiles smoothly with RH 9/XD 2 - it just does not work. And get your funky i18n characters to display properly in RH 8 and later - it's not as easy as selecting a country during the install process. These are supposedly not rocket science issues, it's finish, it's what makes the difference to the average user, it's the difference between 80% and 100%.
Linux has not really evolved beyond the 80% during the past 3-4 years. Sure, we've gotten GNOME2, KDE3 and so forth, but these still lack the same finish as their predecessors did.
I'm beyond wanting to fiddle with my desktop PC, which is why, after 5 years of using Linux on the desktop, I'm switching from Linux to Mac OS X once the next powerbook update occurs.
Debian is not out to reach the "Joe Desktop Blow" market now, and it will not be in 2004. It's a very server oriented version of a nice server OS type.
What do you use for streaming on the server side? What requirements do you have for the client? Can you stream to a TV? Or do you remote control the server and hook onto the TV out?
Oh man.. I wish I'd never tried. I managed to get my degree, but I've also seen multiple friends drop out because of simple text based MUDs.
Oh yeah, and Nurse Edna in Maniac Mansion literally made me yell out loud in panic the very first time I encountered her in the kitchen. What a great game:)
I've been told on multiple occasions that US authors get paid by weight rather than content. Anyone want to confirm or reject this?
I'm sick and tired of having concentrate in order to locate "the point" within masses of text. K & Ritchies ANSI C book sets a fine standard for concise technical books. A fine example for Java is "Java Precisely", http://www.dina.dk/~sestoft/javaprecisely/
Your client opens a socket to the server. Now both client and server have input/output streams for that socket. Use a thread for each stream and you have asynchronous bidirectional communication. You can put whatever you wish through these streams, be it XML, or Objects (eg. ObjectOutputStream). Multiple serialization APIs exist.
Write your own abstraction layer above the "plain socket programming" if need be.

Yes, the code is coming. But it takes time to write; give me a few months, ok?
Call it nsync!

Your intentions are probably noble, but why should I trust you? Would you trust "you"?
Your URL points to nothing informative on the subject. Don't worry, I have the appropriate background.

Yea.. The "secret" one lead me to this NASA document: http://zeus.nascom.nasa.gov/~pbrekke/IMG_2776.JPG
I guess something DID happen in Roswell after all.
White Sands NM is awesom, no matter if the test site is open or not
It is a big deal. Why should the "user" turn a facility off, rather than on?
Anyone know if they use custom software or 3rd party stuff?

FUD.
In the midst of a lot of japanese characters/symbols I spotted USB2.0.
That's funny. To me, this note gave the term "instant erection" a completely new dimension.
Ofc. you do - I assume that you're swimming in the lake he's pissing in?

Right.. You just go on and tell that to Taco
