According to the Macromedia site, 98.3% of all browsers have the Flash player installed. I have no clue how/where they get this statistic from, but if it's close to correct, you're not alienating a very large number of users.
Well, if a webshop based on Flash can do without my money, more power to them. I'd rather take my business elsewhere.
Dictators are antithetical to true communism, and modern communist do well to disown Stalin, Mao, and to a certain degree, Castro.
The problem is that they didn't disown them when they ruled their countries. They disown them NOW. That's a little too late in my book.
Funny thing:
The leader of the Norwegian Communist Party (NKP) wrote in 1980 (82?) a book where he admitted their mistakes in supporting the various communist dictators. However, he also pointed out that not all was lost: Ceaucescu in Rumenia was a promising leader, he claimed, without the faults of Stalin, Lenin and the others.
Of course, these days, no communist will say Ceaucescu was a beacon for the communist world. I wonder who's their favorite cock today?
And the new Opera is gorgeous, especially with dynamically loaded Qt-libs and anti-aliasing turned on. (I'm a gnome-man, but it blends very good into my desktop.)
In fact, it's the first browser I've ever bought and I do not regret it.
The bookmark system is sane, and the possibility for "user-mode" (hit CTRL-g) is really handy for those awful designer-monkey-sites.
User-mode allows you to specify your own fonts, turn off tables, use your own stylesheet which will override the author's etc. When you want to switch back to the "design", just hit CTRL-g once more.
Also, it supports Netscape plugins, so you can have Flash, Java etc.
The browser is rather quick at rendering pages, and if you find something it doesn't render "properly" (a rare case for me, YMMV), you can file that as a bug.
The tech-support is excellent and the deveopers frequent their news-server.
The only thing I really miss on Linux is to be able to choose between MDI/SDI, but that will hopefully be implemented.
Read it. (Heh, I even managed to get anti-aliasing
for GTK. Whooaa.:)
Be sure to download the dynamically linked version of Opera. Also, get the "msttcorefonts"-package for those MS-fonts, make sure freetype et al is enabled in XF86Config-4, and set the env-var
QT_XFT=true in the shell before launching Opera.
*Droooool*

Well, who needs FBI's "Magic lantern" when Bill is already sitting in the box, operating his full stadium light show at port 1900 ?
Also, the slightly (ahem) outdated Practical Unix & Internet Security is also recommended. A good walk-through of all things related to security, from social hacking to securing NFS. It's a bit outdated, but it will give you a good start on security basics.
(And as always with books from Garfinkel, a good and fun read)
You don't need separate tables for that. It's just to hook out the links of the story, run a few queries using LIKE, and hey presto, it's done. (Yeah, not efficient, but it's for posting
stories, so it won't be used that much)
I'm not sure that's their biggest concern, but how hard is a kernel compile versus the installation of ME or XP?
You got to be kidding. Really, how many users know whether something should be compiled as a module or in the kernel? Or that you need the 3c59x00dots7fuckme-module to be able to use your NIC? Should I include nfs? Maybe that AFS would be nice? And what's that HAM-stuff anyway.
If they get so far, of course. make xconfig? make what?
But if you're trying to schedule something, like a clan meeting (I'm not talking about them white-clad texans here:) or a squadron-gathering , it's quite useful.
All the invited parties only need to adjust to one "time zone", instead of trying to figure out what GMT+1 while winter time saving in Ulan Bator is FSCK-4. Next week someone schedules something at 0200 PST etc. Whatever. It seems cool.:)
Yes, JBoss integrates with both Jetty and Tomcat.
Jetty is full-fledged http server, and Tomcat has an Apache module.
You can download JBoss/[Tomcat|Jetty] bundles, and lo and behold, they run "out of the box" on both Linux and Windows.
JBoss is extremely convenient for development since it doesn't require any special compilers, converters or whatever BEA call their ejbc-tools; just jar it up, drop it in the 'jboss/deploy' directory and watch the log file.
With the new versions of Ant supporting ear and war in addition to ordinary jars, the build.xml (ie. the Makefile) for for a JBoss project is dead easy to write.
Several IDEs are now supporting JBoss as well, providing support for those "corporate developers" stuck in "tool hell":)
(I use Emacs and Ant and would only swap those for a very fat paycheck:)
I can't agree more with you. For a customer, we have three Debian Potato boxen running Apache, PHP, JBoss/Tomcat and Postgresql. The system is _stable_, no problems what so ever. I also use Debian for my laptop, file server and work station at home.
On my laptop and workstation I run unstable, but on the servers I run potato. I heartily recommend it. Although you have to invest some time investigating the debian tools, it pays back tenfold, IMHO.
(Of course, I'm pondering on getting Mac OS X for my new workstation, but that's another story.:-)
I submitted this to Slashdot two weeks ago, and it was rejected. (Hence, "Sore Loser" in the title.)
Heh, i posted about Battle of Britan, a WW2 flight sim gone open source, but do you think they was interested? Nooooo. They're more interested in the rants from Loki or whoever else who promises to deliver games to the Linux platform. *sigh* This is more like freshmeat, but with comments and moderation. *double-sigh*
Like if anybody around here would be interested in a flight simulator gone open source and could be ported to SDL. That is soooo un-interesting. Much more fun to have a debate about the last minor-point release fo Wine, yes sir.

Furthermore, J2EE is NOT a web server, but a aplication server.
Actually, it's a set of APIs and specifications for things considered "enterprise".

A great idea! Now, let us design a DTD we all can agree upon. That shouldn't take more than two years.
Oh, it's not DTDs anymore? Schemas is the buzzword of the week?
