She's an annoying, arrogant, blinkered idealogue. The very sight of her with her smirk, babbling absolutes made from nothing is deeply disturbing. That smirk seems to be the motif of the current US administration... it sums up the arrogance, the stubborness.
Well said, but I disagree on a few points. Mugabe *is* a vicous autocrat. Dear Leader in North Korea has watched his own people starve as a result of his loco economic policies. I wouldn't trust either of these guys with anything, let alone nukes.
Some of the rest is a bit subjective, but you seem to have pretty much summed the situation up.
Hmmm. What about using explicit client acknowledge? I'm asking here, I don't know the answer. If the message hasn't been acknowledged, it hasn't been delivered. I'm too lazy to check, for example, TIBCO's JMS docs to see if the APIs allow the sender to check this. You'd think it would have to, but I've been burned by that line of thinking before!
Hear, hear! Having wrestled with TIBCO for the past six months, I'm not particularly fond of it. The core messaging is fine, but the surrounding tools seem... buggy. And expensive it is indeed, close to $500K for a medium-sized enterprise license for us here...
Asynchronous connection precludes reliability. If there is no receiver waiting, there is no gurantee that the message will get to the recipient. At best, the sender will get a bounce message.
Why is that? An async message can be sent to a JMS topic with a durable subscriber... just because the subscriber is offline doesn't mean the message isn't delivered. It's queued for delivery until the subscriber is online again, and the message is removed from JMS when the client explicitly acknowledges receipt.
TIBCO Rendevous is better suited to your requirements; no hub and spoke configuration, each subscriber/publisher runs a small daemon on the box, scales up to massive broadcasts. Point-to-point (e.g., JMS) isn't really suited to that at all.
No, it's akin to JMS (Java Messaging System) or, say, the TIBCO/Rendezvous system used to broadcast trading information to NASDAQ clients.
Here at my workplace, we use "guaranteed messaging" to integrate disparate systems such as SAP R/3, as iSeries/AS400 running BPCS, a bespoke warehousing system. Messages (i.e., details of a transaction, for example an XML doc. containing details of a sales order) are transmitted between systems to keep them in sync. If the target system is down the messages are queued for delivery in the messaging system itself, and delivered later.
Boy, you're dumb. Ever checked the dictionary definition of fascism? It's remarkably close to the current US regime, which claims to be conservative, not leftist.
Yes, it's very easy to get to the memory slots -- in the 17", remove the battery, unscrew a couple of small screws to remove a small metal plate and there are the RAM slots. No warranty issues that I am aware of -- they actually supply memory installation instructions with the PB.
I can say, without a doubt, that the PB is the coolest machine I've ever used, in terms of performance, user experience, design, sheer good looks, etc...
Yes, that's what he means... I'm guessing he's Dutch, what with the bicycle talk, and the misspelling of pannier looks like a Dutch word. Of course, I don't speak Dutch, so this is probably completely wrong.
I have one of those, ordered it the same day as the PB 17" it's in... it made a very noticeable speed increase. Little bit noisier though, and the fans run more frequently since I installed it. Well worth it for the performance increase though!
Try hauling a 17" around on multi-leg flights from the Midwest to the southwest of Ireland... my chiropracter just *loves* Apple! I bought the 17" for the extra screen resolution (I'm a developer) but man I wish I could have lived with a 15".
My mate is the manager of EMEA telesales at Apple in Cork (I live in the USA now though). Give me your order number and I'll email him and see if he can't hurry it up.
Buy a second 512MB stick and install it yourself -- it's very easy, and likely cheaper than purchasing direct from Apple.
I've ordered two BTO Apple laptops, an iBook G3/600 and a PowerBook G4 17" 1GHz, and haven't had quality issues with either (apart from the motherboard problem with the iBook).
The hard drives are easy enough to replace too. I put an Hitachi 7200RPM 60GB drive in my PB, there was a noticeable speed bump from the 4200RPM stock drive.
My personal recommendation on "killer" accessories -- get a Logitech MX900 Bluetooth mouse... many programmable buttons, better resolution and response than the Apple wireless mouse, looks better, very comfortable to use. I programmed mine to activate Expose, very handy.
I'm underwhelmed by these updated PBs... the only things they have that my PB doesn't have is.67GHz extra processor cycles, 64MB extra video RAM (presumably a faster video card overall, but I am not a gamer so who cares?) and the IBM-inspired motion detector to park drive heads if it's dropped. The PBs are *awesome* laptops, I was just hoping for more... not a G5, just... more!

You can have durable subscribers on a topic, though, which is effectively the same as guaranteed delivery.
You're the real asshole. If you really want answers, please be polite.
Please check in a dictionary for the correct usage of the word "apropos".
Oh, forgot to mention, TIBCO has it's own full JMS system now, in addition to RV.

The latest TIBCO EMS product (contains both RV and JMS) does both...

Not a great explanation, but I hope it helps.
Or even more likely, "utter bollocks".
Best sig *EVER*... cracked me up, thanks for the laugh.

This makes no sense used in this context. The literal translation is "Timeghost", the correct translation would the "spirit of the times".

Very cool! That drutil utility is very handy. Thanks!
