So that's what that annoying piece of crud is -- every time I've visited Wired.com recently, one of these damned things kept popping up. It was completely ineffective, impossible to read, I had no clue what they were trying to tell me and it has served only to ensure that I'll never visit that bloody site again.
Yes, it does. There's a huge base of libraries and APIs out there, each with an acronym to make it less intelligible. Pity, because the underlying software is usually excellent.
Yes. At the large site I currently work on (20,000+ concurrent users) we run the web tier (JSP and servlets) on clustered Sun servers, each running multiple server instances, in the DMZ and the business logic and database stuff (EJBs on a similar server setup behind the second firewall.
The little I've read about AS/400 suggests that it's an innovative system, but operates with the mainframe mentality.
Yes, you're absolutely right -- mainframe mentality in terms of integration of OS, DB, tools, etc., stability, uptime, scalability. Great systems. Worked with them for 13 years, now I have the misfortune to develop web apps to J2EE on UNIX and slap myself on the forehead every time some dolt thinks he's had a brainwave, recommending some concept that's existed on OS/400 for 10 years.
DOn't knock it if you haven't tried it. When your country is overrun by international terrorism and rampant corporations and your dicta- sorry, president, succeeds in eroding all of your civil liberties, until you all eventually revolt, you might find yourself instituting some controls too, to ensure that it never happens again.
Iceland had a functioning parliamentary democracy long before the US, around the same time that Great Britain was establishing its version of same. As the previous poster pointed out, that was long before similar developments in the US.
No, no -- Report Program Generator, a really ancient and ugly procedural language used mostly on IBM mid-range systems. Dreadful language but it worked well for the target application domain. You are right, it was Transpac...
When I worked in France in 1993 for Molex I connected our AS/400 RPG (yes, RPG!) order-entry program to Minitel so that suppliers could enter orders directly. It was as simple as rewriting the program to work on Minitel-size screens (40x20?) and installing a "custom" PC to act as a gateway between the AS/400 and the Minitel hookup. Can't recall if it was dialup or leased line. Ah, nostalgia... must find that waitress Sylvie's phone number...

We're trying to catch up with the US obsession with Prozac, etc.
Thank you very much! I appreciate this.

Nivau == niveau == "level", in English.
Get a friend who lives in Ireland, the UK or USA to order one for you.
Hey, he's French and so is prone to hyperbole. It's still a great product.
Yes, it does. There's a huge base of libraries and APIs out there, each with an acronym to make it less intelligible. Pity, because the underlying software is usually excellent.

It sounds like your project management team wasn't very good, then.
I give a rip, so I post about it. Grammar is relevant -- grammar gives structure to language and allows us to communicate.
Guys, please -- it's "breach", not "breech".
That's because English is a Germanic language.
I was referring to the United States, not Germany.

Not at all. Drop the myriad US "standards" and move to GSM like the rest of the World.
Let me see; EU, EC, WEU, EFTA, NATO, ESA, UEFA, etc. etc. You're ill-informed.
If you're not from the US, yes, it does make sense.
Yes, I am -- I'm living in Saint Louis, though. Up Cork!
Substitute Prozac for Soma, true indeed.
This lends new meaning to the term BOGomips...
