Very interesting, I really want to know more about this. How do you handle user sessions? Are they handled by the client? You have your own custom code to manage java sockets for port 80? You said no servlets.
So far I like DWR even if I stick with spring, struts, et. al.
Rapid prototyping should be done on paper. That way customers understand we are on the design phase and nothing has been coded yet. The minute they see something they can run and play with they will keep asking why is it taking so long since you had most of it already built. It takes a lot of discipline to avoid taking the prototype and force it into a production ready product.
I've had less issues with Epson printers than HP. They are simpler and easier to use too. I'm moving away from ink cartridges and into laser printing. Epson should have great products for that.
There is a limit of what high temperatures most living organisms can tolerate... mostly anything above 60C (140F). Some deserts on earth will soon reach those temperatures if the global trends continue (in years or decades?)... There will be true inhospitable places on Earth, our own Martian landscapes if you will...
Do you have a preference on a particular programming language? Sometimes issues are not just a programming error but misconfiguration of the environment.
Could we start a white list of compatible hardware manufacturers or a black list of offending hardware (which ever is easier to maintain) so it would help us users that are planning for our next PC build?
It depends what type of specifications, but I bet if you do 100 similar projects you will start to think on how to automate the process... The result will be what we see in everything else: mass produced products with no identity and not as 'precious'.
Walk into an antiques shop and look how things we take for granted (a porcelain cup, a drinking glass, a book, kitchen utensils...) they are all made by hand and extraordinarily decorated and personalized. In a time where your personal possessions had your family initials embossed in them.
If I buy a computer program/system that was automated I bet I can recognize it almost identically to some other customer's system because their look and behavior are very similar. But I can pay a lot more for a custom solution that looks just like I want it, and behaves exactly as I requested.
heh... that's what people said about the internal combustion car... (all those people working at horse stables) and the telephone (all those telegraph operators)... and the airplane (all those poor transatlantic cruise liner workers) and etc., etc., etc...
It will be the new robotic socialism, every thing will be provided... you would just swear allegiance and adoration to those in power, sort of like North Korea but production will be done with robots instead of prisoners...
Sometimes is this kick in the pants that forces people to innovate. It's not the first time it happens and people are forced to adapt. Sort of what is happening in the us economy right now...
I don't know about Indian cuisine but in Mexico we don't brag about how impossibly hot a dish is. Chile is used as an additional condiment and is never the main focus of the meal... Mexicans know when something needs to be spiced up to make it taste better, enough to make you salivate just by smelling it and make it perfect. That hot spicy sensation is addictive and a good source of endorphins... It is never a goal to make it impossible to swallow, give you cramps and make you faint.

Always read Joel with a grain of salt... and a couple shots of tequila to get you to the end of the article!

Prepared statements are essential for preventing SQL injection.
If your DBMS doesn't support them then you have bigger things to worry about.
Excellent, I love it...

I've heard wonderful things before its release.
I wonder how it performed in the last couple of years...

Oh.. crap
You weren't supposed to share your "secret" if you wanted to pay up to $3 for used CDs.
Supply and demand my friend.
Do you have a rule book for that?
Well in Mexico we say:
"No me rompas los huevos" (don't break my balls)
And dealing with HP printers seems appropriate!!
