I consider myself a pretty impulsive person. I get riled up often. I've always been one to throw a game controller, to punch a pillow to vent frustration. I see stupid things and I don't like them, I rant about how stupid they are, but that's not only as far as it goes. I'm far from easy going as they come.
And yet every time I see a story about the activities supported by the US Patent and Trade Office, I want to cuddle a nearby puppy and take it out for walkies. I don't even own a dog, go figure.
And this, my friends, is why something like the iPad is going to take off... big time.
Google is really pushing this "browser as a platform" concept to the limit. Now imagine a "GooglePad" or a "ChomePad" or something which does nothing but browse the web. You click on a link and within seconds you're gaming at 60fps. Control-scheme aside, I think this concept will be succesful.
Avant browser is nothing more than a front-end for IE. It's basically a window surrounding an embedded Internet Explorer object. I personally think its ridiculous that MS offers it as an 'alternative browser'

I was looking for a good solution for automated tasks. The idea is to run tasks on a fixed shedule (like database maintenance, inbox reading and processing, etc...). Where we worked we tried all kinds of solutions (Windows service applications, COM objects, etc...) but nothing really worked.
When I noticed that in the UNIX world there was something called CRON and it ran something called BASH scripts I basically drew an analogy. What would be a Windows version of CRON and BASH?
IronPython and the Windows Task Scheduler.
A wonderful scripting language that can be used to automate tasks. As an added bonus it's backed by the entire.Net Framework.
Last year I wanted to know what all the hoopla was about functional programming. I checked out Haskell, Scala, OCaML and F#. Coming from a Java/Delphi/C# background myself I had to go through it a couple of times before I "got" it. I'm glad I did because I banged out my first production IronPython lambda function on last Friday (yay!).
I know that MS bashing is popular here on Slashdot, but I really want to take a moment to say that the.NET Framework really is excellent. The ability to mix and match different paradigms and languages in a clean an concise manner which is a joy to program in.
Yeah I know patents bla bla mono bla bla Novell bla bla Miguel bla bla.

IronPython would be my first choice. It's excellent.

It comes complete with Natalie Portman.

From what I could understand from the presentation, everything goes through Azure.
Which means that all the posts you make go through Microsoft's data centers before they get posted on facebook/twitter/whatever.
This is all just a scheme for Microsoft to gather user data and to monetize on it. A data-grab scheme, plain and simple.

MMORPG in a browser, anyone?

Cool! I'll definitely try this on my EEE PC tonight.
This April's fools shit is really getting tedious. I'm really sick of it.
... and can you do this on Linux?
No?
Then I'm not interested ...
I wonder if it's going to look like the tech demo shown in this Youtube video:

I would say of all the functional languages I looked into Scala was the nicest, followed closely by F#.
That is purely because it was easier to get up and running with Scala on Linux & Eclipse.
I like to learn new languages using an IDE. When I've learned it well I start hacking away in a text editor.
My primary IDE for IronPython on my Windows machine at work is vim ;-)

Sorry, but the first thing I read is ArwinSchutzStaffel.
Yes, I have a sick mind.
So, how fast is the 3D? Can I run decent games on it? Are there any benchmarks?

So where can I send disks? I'm sure if everybody at the Slashdot community burns at least one disk then we should be able to make up the difference.
Anybody have a list of software which we can download and burn? And the address to send it to?
