maybe ill try this specially since every smtp server i configured has the following greeting: "it is ilegal to send SPAM through this server and such action is subject to legal action, continuing the connection means accepting this agreement"
i would also sugest that everybody put something like this on their servers
last time i checked the benchmarks, windows would beat linux in java performance, but not for a very large margin
and this is not counting JITs (just in time compilers) which improved linux performance
two things that must be considered here are:
1-) Microsoft says it will no longer support Java 2-) Banco do Brasil is a **huge** bank, and many of it's software (and most of the ones in development) are in java
and a third point, banco do brasil has had a close relationship with IBM for many, many years
i do know something about embedded OSes and RTOSes for i've worked in this field and am now working with cellphones for one of the major companies in the business
what i fail to see is: where the f*** did you see microsoft invest in symbian???
i do agree with you both in the point that having a certificate of quality is not equal guaranteed quality (if that's what you mean on your first phrase) and about the problems with the mindset shift
but, at least, they are a step ahead from most companies
while some problems may come from the software it is important to notice that mobile phone companys (telco in general) have made huge investments in quality management
specifically that i remember now, all of the bigger player have serveral ISO9000 compliances and many are CMM certified (specially Siemens that has level 3 and Motorola that has from 3 to 5 depending on the specific facility/factory)
while microsoft (and other software companies developing for computers) has none in all it's divisions
if nokia, ericsson, sony, lg and motorola hate microsoft
why are they using simbian if you said "Do a search in google for symbian to find out how many horrible failures it's had. The only reason it is still alive is MS keeps dumping money into the product."?
and where did you get this info about MS investing in symbian?
not defending palestine (nor anyone else) terrorist acts, but could you please explain to me what is it called "to take out their entire neighborhood with tanks"? is it "responding to an attack, and trying to localize your response to the perpetrators"?
how is this israeli reaction acceptable?
and also, there are always news about some isralei who shot some palestines without reason (as are from the other side, of course, with bombs and all...)
again, not defending terrorism, but both sides are engaged in doing shit
while i agree with you in the point that israelis don't commit suicide bombing (at least, not one that i recall) saying that the USA doesn't influence arab countries is bullshit, look at:
1)Saudi Arab relations with the US 2)how the US financed Iraq in the Iran x Iraq war 3)how US rushed to "defend" Kwait, and is still there
besides that, saying that US helps Israel just because of a WWII allied decision? US supports them because many jews live in the US and "demmand" that (no problem with these, since everybody has the right to ask the government to hear their positions) and also because it's a good investment (think high-tech here)
also, claimming that Israel never attacked others without provocation? man, you need some history lessons, check for conflicts with Lebanon, Egypt and Syria
disclaimer: i am in no way supporting terrorist attacks, nor the invasion of Kwait by Iraq

but Santos Dumont indeed won the "Archdecon Prize" for his flight and it was not given by the SI, but by an American in 1906
for me an airplane is a machine that has to take off by it's own means and fly, and before Santos Dumont's 14 bis flight in Paris in 1906 no plane by the wright brothers that i have heard anywhere has done so
although they managed to do so sometime between this and 1908
one thing is to need to be catapulted because there is no room to get velocity, another thing is to need to be catapulted do fly at all
why don't you build a catapult to launch a boeing 777 ? would there be such airplanes is such catapultas were nedded?
and i never claimed that santos dumont "made the first flight" but that according to that definition of airplane i provided his flight was the first with such a machine
Slashdot Mirror
this is good news
maybe ill try this

hey, the parent post is not funny, it's a very serious issue
the problem here is not which OS or product is the best one, but sticking to standards!
as stated in the story this is true for
"users who have purchased the two year OS/2 Software Choice subscription"
every company should keep with its contracts, and IBM is no diferent
i submitted this story on friday, the day it happened, but got rejected
at least now it appears, and i can post a another news link
http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,751122,00.

speaking of OS/2, Banco do Brasil was one of the big users of it. Many of it's system used to be on OS/2
and some still are.
as is the case of ATM machines, but not only them.

another point in this discussion, and one that i have not seen in this thread is J2ME (Sun's Java 2 MicroEdition)
Nokia, Motorola, Samsung and Siemens (that i remember now, there are more) all support it
and most of the new phones come J2ME enabled
we all know microsoft relations with java
the success in the mobile phone bussiness is based on open (or almost) standards
i don't get what you said
if nokia, ericsson, sony, lg and motorola hate microsoft
why are they using simbian if you said "Do a search in google for symbian to find out how many horrible failures it's had. The only reason it is still alive is MS keeps dumping money into the product."?
and where did you get this info about MS investing in symbian?
guess you mixed stuff in your post
actually Ericsson is from Sweden
and they partnered with Sony in the mobile business
also, they have about 5% of the market
but your point is correct
in telecom central northern Europe rules (Ericsson - se, Siemens - de and Nokia - fi)
man, moderator on crack again?
can't one realize my previous post was a joke?
no, comparing apache and boa is like comparing apples and oranges
you insensitive clod!

i guess we could call "slashdotting some inocent site" an example of programming gone wrong
and i got one for an iPAQ, that is what i call thin
great implementation
but it's far from being the complete game

Linux! Linux! Linux!
or should i say GNU/Linux?
in a AI program written in Haskell:
"fatal error: pattern match failure inside protected code"
and somewhere i don't remeber:
"error #376: too many errors"
there is also one from Zans, a formal methods application:
"
type mismatch:
type expected: integer[]
type encountered: integer[]
"
i agree with you in the fact that US situation in relation to it's forests is better then it was i the recent past
but, since when this areas have the same biodiversity they had?
santos dumont used ailerons in his planes in 1906
and the wright brother got a patent for it at the same year, i think some months before dumont's flight
i may agree with you about SI
but Santos Dumont indeed won the "Archdecon Prize" for his flight and it was not given by the SI, but by an American in 1906
for me an airplane is a machine that has to take off by it's own means and fly, and before Santos Dumont's 14 bis flight in Paris in 1906 no plane by the wright brothers that i have heard anywhere has done so
