But seriously, this subject is kind of lacking. The problem I have with organized storage is keeping it organized. I don't have the time nor the will. I need some sort of automagic organization.
Yeah, for the most part the north east coast is ezpass, with the exception of Massachussetts.
I think the idea is a good one. There really is no need for a person taking tolls, nor is there need for you to make sure you have enough money on your person. However, I think things like that episode in NY where they were trying to give out traffic tickets to ezpass users foreshadow things to come.
Well at least they are coming out and saying it. Here in the US they trick us into using EZ-Pass because without it, some of these highways are brutal to navigate. Sure, it only pays your tolls, for now. Sure, it's only optional, for now.
Teaching pilots to fly the airplane, Pearson said, really involves teaching them how to use all the data flowing into the cockpit. "It's an extraordinarily easy airplane to fly," Pearson said.
Sure, when all you need to know is which machine to reboot.
I didn't intentionally incite a flamewar. The readership of Slashdot does that nicely.
Do I have to like everything that Microsoft shits down my throat? You imply that I have no choice, and neither does anyone else, and if they claim otherwise then they are just kidding themselves.
First off, why not be skeptical of Microsoft? For those of you who actually still use Windows this might not make any sense. Some of us have managed to drop that yoke in its entirety because we're tired of being bullied by them. So what's the problem with being skeptical that they might try something with this? Is there no possibility of Microsoft attack? Can you prove this? There will be plenty of motive to go around.
Secondly, I have yet to be shown why I need this technology. Which goes right to the point of my statement: "I don't think I will be warming up to Mono and C# any time soon." I have not been shown why I should care. I didn't say "Man, Microsoft sucks dick!!! W00T!!" or something assinine like that. Nor was it implied. In fact, it's people like you that seem to be drawing these conclusions on your own.
Thirdly, I'm not sure how it was "unnecessary commentary." Dashboard is a program. It implements a certain idea through a certain means. Both the idea and the means are highly relevant for discussion as developers.
Man, you guys read into stuff too deeply. Everyone wants to drum up a troll thread.
The merits or faults of C# seem to be a relevant topic for the developers section. Since I was interested in hearing other peoples' ideas one way or the other, I threw in that statement to generate some conversation. Seems to have worked in some way or another once you filter out the troll posts.
Pricing of the run-time, binary UnixWare license will be announced in the coming weeks to customers and resellers. For more information, contact your local SCO sales representative or contact SCO at (800) 726-8649 or on the Web at www.sco.com.
I agree though, some people will just fall for this. Sucks to be them I guess.
Oh yeah. I can't tell you how many times I had to fight someone to get to use one of those phones.
In fact, I've never seen one used. Well no that's not true. I've seen little kids (read: grown adults) play with them for the entire flight. (Look! It comes out of the SEAT!) I thought there was talk of discontinuing them on several airlines as well.
Just shut up and turn your damn phone off. I realize it's difficult since most people can't even disconnect while they are sitting in a movie theatre much less restrain themselves from answering (I mean, seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?), but would you mind trying to have a speck of consideration for a fraction of your day?
Sony rates the battery life at 14 days with 30 minutes of typical use per day.
So, just say 7 hours. Unless of course sustained usage drains the battery faster.
Either way that's pretty good since my iPaq can now barely run for 45 minutes without a charge. I have a backpaq arriving soon with extra battery capacity so that should help.

Right. The slowness that most people are concerned with is the client side since that's where the JVM is most visible. Client-side apps take a measurable amount of time to startup and do not normally persist making that startup time rather wasteful. It's a poor use of the technology.
To add to the pain, Mozilla does inteligent things like keeping the monster running. On one hand, sure that speeds up startup time of the next app, but it eats a way at your computer's memory. I prefer Konquerer's approach, where it will kill the JVM if no Java applets have been loaded recently.

How can Java be slow? It's a language. Languages typically can not be quantified by speed.
Implementations are a different story, however. What you mean to say is that in your non-benchmark toting experience, Sun's Java Runtime Environment, version 1.4.2 is slow. On this, I will agree.
You might want to investigate the other implementations of the JRE out there. IBM has one that is reportedly quite good. (Well, one person has told me it was worth it.) There is also Blackdown.
Regarding licensing, I also agree. It's muddy at best, and akin to selling your first born to Sun at worst. Depending on your vantage point, of course.;)
In the introduction the authors examine learning and explain why they designed the book as they did. To quote from one section: "Some of the Head First learning principles. Make it visual. Put the words within or near the graphics.
"The habit of using pictorial aids, like any habit, is very difficult to get rid of. If, however, we take any responsibility for the effectiveness of our thinking habits, we should try to get rid of the habit as quickly as possibile, for it is a bad habit, confusing and misleading up to the point of being paralysing."

Santa: So tell your folks, "Buy me Bonestorm or go to Hell!"
Well we have small galaxies. Now all we need is a particle accelerator the size of a small galaxy, according to the article.
Well that would require some sort of a Rebigulator which is a concept so ridiculous it makes me want to laugh out loud and chortle.
Yes, the usefulness of any compiler hinges around whether it can compile the (Linux) kernel. Good job, moderators.

Hopefully it won't come to that though.

Novell ought to be careful that they don't contract Mono.

No one is disputing that batteries are a consumable.

Well I do vote of course. I thought I had heard from a friend that you could tell the IRS or someone where you'd most like your funds to go.
Isn't that supposed to be: "Well, there goes the Network Neighborhood."
Anyone have a pointer to what I need to do to tell the government where my tax money should be sent?
In fact, it would be nice of them to provide a "do not use this money for Microsoft products" option.
