    All these advancements are neat, from printable LCD monitors ..to flying boats, to things connecting to things ...but Where are the flying cars? How come they haven't come up with a safe/efficient way of allowing having cars to fly ..I'd love to flying in to work and avoid some traffic !

    true, but why go all the way to the moon to get pass the Ozone Layer? Why not setup something right above it to harvest that energy?

  8. Re:Hard to Configure on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 1

    "...(or to hire) a skilled professional just to keep the thing running and up to date."

    Haven't you heard they're expensive?!!?

  9. Re:Every time on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 1

    "In reality a text file configuration is worth a million GUI config tools."

    .. I like editing .conf files. You are totally right, the control is superior compared to GUI config tools, but wouldnt it be nice to have GUI tools as an option?

  10. .conf Files on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    One question that popped up in my mind while reading the article is: why doesn't the apache team use .xml files for the configuration files like almost every other server these days? ie: weblogic,tomcat,etc..

    Not only do I find editing xml easier than .conf 's, but also to keep the mainstream masses happy... I'm sure it'll be easier for us oss developers to come up with nice gui interfaces to manage the server by reading xml files rather than parsing the .conf files.

  11. Re:IIS6 on eWeek: Apache 2.0 Trumps IIS · · Score: 2, Funny

    "..with a particular eye on security"

    ohhh, so thats why iis is so unsecure, it ony has one eye! .. you would think MS would make use of two eyes instead

  17. Re:called javadoc on Beginning Project Documentation? · · Score: 1

    ARgh... not the functions .. but the "javadoc comments" above the functions,classes,member variables ,etc

  18. Re:called javadoc on Beginning Project Documentation? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You can actually use the javadoc tool that comes with the JDK to spit out html documentation on any language, it basically just looks at your functions. I've seen it done on C code and works nicely

  19. I like this one better on Virtual Keyboard a Reality · · Score: 1

    I don't know, might be the huge pencil sharpener looking projector but, I like the keyboard talked about on this story much better than this new one.

  21. They don't know what their own code has? on Microsoft, zlib, and Security Flaws · · Score: 1

    "...However, the team hasn't yet determined which applications use the library and whether those applications are vulnerable. "

    You're telling me their own people don't know what products uses what? Either they want to see if they can deny the use of zlib or they're just clueless. The lather seems more possible.

    "Convincing my boss that installing a webserver to replace IIS would be easy was about 3 million times earlier with that"

    I'm a CS student graduating soon, why is there such a hard time making bosses see the beauty and less hassle of these projects linux/apache/etc compare to the MSWin/IIS choice...I mean, who with the smallest notion on what is good would put up a fight to choose IIS over apache!? Will I have the same wonderful challange?
