java may be a good languaje, but it seems that everybody forget it is a *propietary* languaje...
it is *owned* by Sun, the same company that doesn't want this languaje/platform in the hands of ECMA or ISO.
meanwhile, C# is being submitted to ECMA, and you know that where OSS really shines is in following standards based solutions (http, smtp, dav, xml), so no-one get the power...
shame to Sun that doesn't want to submit the java specification to a standards body.
fact: word is a tremendous text processor
fact: word is from MS
fact: abiword guys are trying to make abiword like word
are abiword guys bad ?
fact: excel is a tremendous datasheet app
fact: word is from MS
fact: gnumeric guys are trying to make gnumeric like excel
are gnumeric guys bad ?
fact:.NET do have some nice features
fact:.NET is from MS (and pre-ECMA standard)
fact: ximian guys are trying to take this nice features into mono, and let some "features" out (passport)
what's wrong with copying if you are years-ligths behind in the desktop field ?
- this seems like a dream come true, but I will not hold my breath (more below)
- in a country so broked economically, I always wondered why the governament spend millions of dollars in microsoft software (specially in the server arena), and *I know* they spend millions dollars, because I worked in gov.ar for two years.
- this country is economically so f* broked, that we had to ask the FMI money every week, and more money we ask, the double more money we debt, the triple we had to pay taxes (the geometrical increment is due to corruptions in gov).
- you simply cannot believe how low is the IT knowledge in gov.ar, in my work I had to demostrate how linux can work flawlessly meanwhile they have tryed *for one year* to make NT work without hitchs, and they still use DOS clipper for their enterprise datawarehouse, togheter with win95 file sharing so the data is "at your fingertips", enabling a new era in the network productivity environment.
- I sincerely hope this law passed his way, but I fear ms will play "tentation island" with a lot of people that this law may never see the ligth.
- I'm currently unemployed (well, I'm not alone, 20% people here are unemployed), so if the governament want to train some monkey staff, "billy, don't loose my number":-)

IMO the most needed part in the server area is the calendar server.
maybe they can use OpenCap, a calendar server
"The main problem is that we actually get so much wind-generated electricity during a storm that we cannot get rid of it"
and what about if you produce hydrogen with this excess ?
the main problem to produce hydrogen is the energy to produce it, so this may be a good solution to store energy for when the wind stop...
well, maybe not MySql, but PostgreSql do
- Supports subselects
- Supports views
- Supports triggers
- Supports stored procs
and does most the things that everyone takes for granted with a decent db server, because PostgreSql is a decent db server.java may be a good languaje, but it seems that everybody forget it is a *propietary* languaje...

yes.
PostgreSql 7.1 will re-do the logs files in a recovery situation.
(it's called WAL in postgres, Write Ahead Log)
