Actually in this narrow case they are following the "principle" they set forward. ASP.NET is a defined standard, and now 3rd parties can work on implementing it for their platform of choice. MS provides just one platform.
That "principle" you speak of is referred inside the Microsoft boiler room as "Wait and Bleed Technique". I think it's a tad bit late for the technology to be out since late 2000 and 2 years later still no official support. Yes, it's true, there are projects underway (Read: Convlent Technologies). And we know how great that would work out based on previous experiences with ChiliASP. I would rather make static webpages, than to shoot myself in the foot and install unnecessary modules to further bloat the server.
Point is, they could have offered support from early on. But they chose not to. It's a monopolistic approach, and it's worthless.
P.S. I want to retract the misspelling of the word "hypocrisy".
Principles for Software Choice Promote interoperability through platform-neutral standards Voluntary, industry-led standard setting is the most effective way to develop platform-neutral and market-based standards. When these standards are open and available to all through reasonable and non-discriminatory licensing they help developers to create products that can interoperate with each other. It is important that government policy recognize that open standards - which are available to any software developers - are not synonymous with, and do not require, open source software either for their adoption or utility. Developers of commercial software that may not typically publish their source code often contribute technology and intellectual property needed to develop new standards. Governmental policy on software standards should not discriminate in favor of or against any particular software development model.

That's really funny, if you ask yourself the question why doesn't Microsoft offer.NET Framework (asp.NET, ADO.NET, etc) on other platforms. Sounds like they are contradicting themselves here. "Platform-Neutral". Give me a fucking break. Try to run asp+ on apache.
CompTIA should stick to issuing useless certificates to would-be web developers and network engineers so they can hang it on their basement walls.
I've worked for a major IT Training corporation as an account executive back in the boom of the dot com era, and have a first hand account of the idiocy that CompTIA puts out, labeled as training materials. 50% of their A+ cerificate holders can't even properly fix simple hardware related things.
3) With the Zaurus you get an powerful Linux system right in your pocket. Possibilities to run apache, PHP, mysql, LOTS of games, LOTS
of other programs (such as media players, etc), you can mount samba/NFS partitions
and much more!!
How exactly does one run Apache and mySQL on a PDA? What would be the applications of it in the real world?
I think you're overselling it. While it's a good toy, it's definately not a webserver. Some things are just not meant to be on a PDA.
The good part is, that people who experience it, only experience it for a few seconds, and then they cease to exist. And that's the end of it. Now if you go freezing your dumb ass, you have the possibility to experience DEATH, and then "wake up", and have a full memory of the most horrible terror that the living can never know. Add to that the fact the even the smallest little "error" in the freezing/thawing process is likely to cause major mental changes to the way your brain works, and it's unlikely your perception of reality will be anything close to what it is now. And odds are, it won't be modified in a good way.
You are ill-informed, and make assumptions based on a movie or personal theories. I can name scores of other films where the cryonics was a success (Read: Demolition Man).
Point is, there are no clear facts. All we say here is pure speculation. There are no facts to back up your claims of total failure in substantial braincell recovery, since nanotechonology is still in its infancy and hasnt been implemented in post-cryonic experiments.
Furthermore, when you describe death's process, it voids all your other views simply because you ASSUME, without actually having experienced it. I seriously doubt you have died before, to be able and say what it feels like.
This is definately age old news. Hackers are portraid by the media as Robin Hoods of the internet, which is not the case. After few years of fucking around with code, exploits and remote servers, they need to pay bills and move out of their parent's basements. Of course they are going to make deals with the feds.
All that "ethics" bullshit is just underground PR for the ignorant folks who have no clue as to what real hacking is.
If Palladium succeeds, and Linux doesn't follow, then Linux machines will be the only computers that can get viruses. How ironic would that be?
I would rather be bombarded by viruses than have my hardware sign off my hardware and sanity to big corporations so they can tell me what to do, and how to use them.
Ask yourself this question: "Would you rather drive a Ferrari in a prison, or Honda Civic out in the city"
Slashdot Mirror
I believe they are going for "You can format it real quick and install your freaky OS" option

On an unrelated note, compile this
How about working on a prototype of DMV EXPRESS?
I cannot stress the importance of it, since I have the first hand account of Evil that lurks there.

If it's so great, why does SAP normally sit atop a different database, like Oracle or DB2?
How so? Care to elaborate with some examples?
Thanks.
Because It will take us closer to understanding or at least experiencing a dimension beyond 3rd, even if simulated.
Unix sysadmins and those anal Mac users with inflated egos having lunch together.
The real question is, who is going to pay for that lunch?
Disregard this post, since I haven't read the few post above this. I was quick to jump on the thread.
Dr. Richard Wallace,
I have experimented both with Alice and the original Eliza (person-centered therapist emulator) written roughly some 35 years ago.
In conducted tests, Eliza was more believable than Alice in many aspects.
How exactly is the Alice AI core engine superior to one of Eliza which was written by Joseph Weizenbaum in 1966?
Thanks.
