Has Yahoo or PHP (or Zend) done any kind of press release on this? It would be nice to have something that we could send PHB types to have a look at when proposing various solutions, something better than a frameset of a technical conference presentation. I took a quick look around and couldn't come up with anything.
So what would it take to write a MAPI adapter for Outlook and another adapter on the server side for one of the IMAP servers commonly available? How much Exchange functionality would this duplicate? What more would be needed to be done to duplicate the rest of the functionality?
Too bad I blew through my mod points already, CGP does indeed seem like a decent server. I got the demo set up and running with little hassle.
The pricing is indeed steep, though it is below MS prices. Another issue is low quantity licensing, I've got clients with tiny workgroups that want to use Outlook calendaring.
The typical provincial or county government has departments that span 50 different vertical markets, each with their own specialty software vendors competing for a chunk of the budget. I don't doubt that it is an IT nightmare but the diverse demands of government go a step or two beyond the typical corporate user.
While I might agree with you about the carrying capacity of the planet your example is about as flawed as they can get. Tokyo's 2,187 km^2 is nowhere near enough to support those 26 million people. Just because it is nice to live there doesn't mean it would continue to be if they were cut off from the food imports (even if we ignore ocean products), energy in its various forms, raw materials and other niceties of life.
Now go take that bad mood and your dumb joke and shove it somewhere else.
Forget deathmatch, I'm completely addicted to Bombing Run, can't wait for more maps to play it on.
For an even faster paced game, try BR + Insta-Gib. I just learned that Insta-Gib means one shot = one kill. It completely changes the nature of the game and speeds it up dramatically. Of course, that isn't always a good thing...
Hmm, that somewhat echos my own attitude toward salt.
My grandfather had his first heart attack when I was about 5 years old. My grandmother learned to cook without salt and I developed a taste for unsalted or lightly salted food.
I started drinking lots of water in my early 20s. Not excessive amounts, but probably somewhere around 6 litres or a gallon and a half a day. Some soda and coffee but the soda is almost completely out of my diet and the coffee is down to a cup a day.
I've occasionally tested my blood sugar (in-laws have lots of blood sugar problems) before and after meals and never have seen anything out of the ordinary. I do get a general slump in energy between 4-8pm but adding small healthy snacks hasn't seemed to help that. I get a burst of mental activity after 9 pm even when physically tired, that plays havoc with a normal sleep schedule.
Anyway, I'll be trying this salt thing as well. I feel like I get enough through the generally pathetic diet I have but who knows, maybe I've eliminated too much salt from my diet.
FWIW, I've been playing around with POPFile on Windows after the mention on/. a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if it is using Bayesian filtering or something else, but I'm starting to get impressive results. This AC post on that site is a snapshot of my results so far. It works with just about any POP client.
Rather than implementing a specific filter for spam, I'd prefer a pluggable filter API. As the war on spam escalates, new techniques for bypassing spam will have to be paired with newer filtering techniques. Some people like RBLs, others won't use them. Some people like to bounce their spam, thinking it reduces the total they get. Others realize that too many addresses are spoofed and they'd rather dig through headers and email admins (ala Spamcop) to get results. A flexible and chainable filter API would accommodate all this and more. Actually, something modeled on the way procmail on a *nix box allows flexible mail filtering and handling.
As others have mentioned, in the US there is a law against this and you'll probably need to get your company's lawyers involved.
There are a couple of resources for you and your lawyers to get started with. junkfax.org and http://www.junkfaxes.org are two separate websites dedicated to the cause, the second has an excellent mailing list where you'll find advice and experience on going after junkfaxers with the TCPA law.
Apache 2.0? It's been marked for release for months now. In fact, if you go to the Apache download page linked in the article header you'll see that they list 2.0.40 as the 'best available version'.
I'd tend to agree. I bet your live shows have tons more energy than the nicely produced studio stuff. If you're gonna get serious about taping, you might need to arrange a good spot away from the mosh pit...
Another thought, you may need to just keep plugging away at it for a while longer. I've known of too many bands that have been together for a long time before they start entering the national conciousness.
Props for having a couple of 192kbps songs online. Why not more? Also, give the filename more info. I've already saved these to my mp3 fileshare directory but without a band name and an album name your searcheability decreased depending on which file sharing program is currently running.
I'm curious about this as well, especially the correctness part and multiple versions (although I'm hearing more and more of bugs in IE6 that only show up on specific machines, the web designer's nightmare)
Sure, VMWare would work, but at $300 a pop I might as well throw together a multi-boot system specifically for testing.
I know how deep IE gets its roots inside windows, so I can't imagine multiple versions running off one install of Codeweaver or Wine. But what if I installed each as a different user, can I separate out the Wine/Codeweaver installations per user to create a different IE install for each user?
The possibility of Macromedia stuff on Linux sounds rather nice, Dreamweaver MX provides a pointy clicky interface to PHP/MySQL, if the authoring programs and the app server can all live on the same machine that might prove attractive to those that don't want the pointy clicky web designers screwing with the live server.
This is probably the most important comment I've read.
I think the author of that article even touched on this possibility. The only issue is one of acceptance. Java programmers (except those guys from IBM) have come to accept Sun ONE with a whole different meaning, if it doesn't have Sun's blessing it isn't really Java and it isn't really worth using.
The real issues are the proposed changes to the class library and the real VM changes underneath everything. The class library changes could proabably be accomplished easily, the VM less so. But whats stopping anyone from writing a Jython style bytecode compiler for the proposed Java 3 and calling it Coffee Ground 3 or some such thing? Throw in the proposed library changes as a sort of 'wrapper' and you at least have a proof of concept version. But again, without Sun's blessing, without BEA and Jbuilder and such coming on board, you're without enough mindshare to get the market traction that would make this worthwhile.
I've just discovered KCRW, the NPR affiliate in Los Angeles. They provide a MP3 simulcast stream which includes the NPR news broadcasts. Even better, it is at 128 kbps, to my ears much more listenable than a lower bit rate Real stream.
Unfortunately, they don't archive these shows so you'd have to use something appropriate to save the stream.
A further consideration is the timezone. If you're on the west coast you might be better off ripping an east coast stream overnight, that way your entire morning news program is ready to upload by 6 am, some scheduled recordings could grab the hourly news bites to keep you on top of late breaking events.
We've got an 8550 at work and it is a nice printer. It takes a bit to get the first page out, especially if you've let the power save mode kick in. If you get one get the ethernet adapter for it, those nice full color prints take forever over the parallel port.
These laws put the onus of enforcement on us, the network user. Sure, at times a DA may pick a particularly egregious offender and make an example of them. But by and large, it will be up to us to act.
I compare these to the current junk fax laws on record. They are part of the TCPA act passed in the early 90s that, among other things, made it against federal law to send unsolicited faxes. The penalty is $500. Yet the machine at work averages about 10 a week. Why haven't all of us retired with a bank of fax machines generating income from the junk faxers? Because it is up to us to file against the faxer and pursue them to collect. Some judges believe it is an abuse of the court system to try to collect on these. Others listen to the junk faxers and believe it is a free speech issue. Aside from that, the time and effort involved in tracking down the faxer aren't always worth the money.
Tracking down a spammer for $20 or $100 will be the same. Sure, it will feel good to collect that money from someone. You might even be able to track a number of spams to one company and make it worth your while. But it will be a losing game of whack a mole. 3 more will pop up and the tide of trash in your inbox will not abate.
It was an Italian named Antonio Meucci. He first demonstrated a system in 1860 but couldn't raise the money to file a patent. Supposedly Bell even shared a lab with him.
First referece I found was this. You can google from there.
some aren't a online diary, they are one person's filter of the net.
for instance, I read dangerousmeta almost daily. I don't know all that much about garret's daily activities but I know he posts a decent assortment of news and tech links without too much commentary. I've been reading long enough to slightly understand his point of view, adding an extra understanding that I might otherwise miss or be annoyed by.
Take a look around his site. He's done other listening tests, including twoseparate tests at 128 kbps, with MPC and AAC highest in the first and MPC and Ogg Vorbis highest in the second.
Note the tests at 128 kbps seem much more difficult to discern a clear winner without resorting to some statistical work.

Seriously though, don't some volcanic eruptions involve poisonous gasses? Couldn't that poison the lava cooked meal?

Besides, aren't they counting on a few additional facts?
- LCD prices are continuously dropping due to improved manufacturing processes
- larger volumes means lower prices
