So, what's the question, really? You@re not sure whether "we actually need all this COM+ stuff anyway"?
Your're using it, right? Do you need it?
Concerning the alternatives, depending on what you need, there's things like RPC and CORBA, or take a look at the KParts Components of KDE (Gnome apparently has something similar). If you need COM functionality on a non-M$ Plattform, Iona's Orbix/OrbixWeb Corba has an adapter from COM to Corba and I would assume other vendor's ORBs have similar functionality.
TopClick International, Inc. (a development stage company), "the Company", was incorporated on October 3, 1996 as Galverton Oil & Gas, Inc. [...] Effective July 8, 1998, the Company had a change of control, and the nature of the business is changed from development of oil and gas properties to the business of operating an Internet Website.
...who in thier right mind is going to be so mindnumbingly stupid as to pay for something when you get the same thing for free...
This would apply if a company wants to use the gpl'ed software in a commercial, closed-source project. Can't do it under the GPL, but if you can get the same code under a diffrent license...
WAAAAAHHH! Mommy, they won't bring the stories I've submitted. I'm bored! Play with me! It's so boring, but I keep going there anyway to whine about it. I think this is a pretty interesting thread, with the collective riddle-solving going on. If this story doesn't interest you, go to the next one, if none of them interest you, go look at www.wide-open-beavers.com

...we better hope that the GPS satellite network is able to handle all these request real fast.
Maybe you should at least try to figure out what you're talking about before you start. Not all the world is a Webserver. There are no request in GPS, just as there are no requests from your radio to the radiostation. They don't have DoS attacks on radio stations either.
Firstly: Maybe you should consider saying: "They should ajust the speed limit" instead of "They should allow speeding".
Second: 300 out of 310 driver might get ticketed after the photo-radar is put up, but how many do you think will get ticketed the second time they drive that route?
Yeah, and they should have the right to make you get a driver's license cuz I think the test is pretty difficult and I don't need nuthing of that stuff cuz I'm a really good driver.
And they should be allowed to search and seize me at the airport cuz I ain't no terrorist or arab or nuthin'
That is exactly how the system is described in the article. The system that throttles the speed is in the car. The only thing that is "satellite-controlled" is the GPS, the government couldn't remotely control your car. I still think it sucks, though.
How can it index the entire "800 million webpages" out there and only find 19 hits for "xml"? And the Specification wasn't one of them. Not one single hit for "wide open beavers"! And the colors are just awful.
Having everything in classes is not all there is to OO. As I remeber it, the OO-advocates were bitching about Java not being "strict" enough. Stuff like multiple inheritance is not possible.
On the Samba Homepage there's a short note saying they got the text from O'Reilly and are now working on formatting it.
The book has been adopted by the Samba Team as the "official" Samba book and we will strive to keep it up to date. O'Reilly have sent us the full sources for the book and we will be making it available online as soon as we can, we just need to work out some formatting and conversion issues. We also plan to make it directly accessible from SWAT. A huge thanks to O'Reilly for this great step forward in the documentation of Samba!
It seems to me that alot of people are jumping on this discussion that have NO idea what they're talking about.
This guy is writing his thesis so -hopefully- he should know what he's asking. PGP, SSL, ssh, etc. etc. only use public key encryption to exchange session keys. And the Public Key encryption used ISN'T Streaming. DES, Blowfish, etc., aren't public key.
Sure public key is "expensive" computationally, but that's not what the guy's asking. If he doesn't know, all's lost anyway.
So keeping in line with the other post: Use either Linux or the GPL to provide you with encryption;-)
Sorry btw that I'm jumping on this post, my criticism applies to almost the entire discussion.
Obviously Sun's not going to take it seriously if 10,000's of Slashdotters (90% of whom probably won't be Java Developers on BSD) skew the result of the survey?
Sure the Linux-port has been number one RFE for a while, but I would assume mainly because alot of L!nux rul3z advocates are voting for it.
I'm definately NOT saying that we don't want to develop on Linux. I for one do. But most big Java apps aren't yet using 1.2. And there's at least two implemenations (Blackdown's port and IBM 1.1.8) to work with.
Saying that Sun doesn't care about developers just doesn't hold true either. Sure, they can't suit everyone. Sure they don't do everything they promise - at least not right away. And you expect them to change anything just because somebody somewhere yells at them to get it done.
But Sun's community process works well on a lot of APIs they're developing. I know lots of user feedback went into Java2 stuff like Swing, Collections. They work together alot with SERIOUS developers (and not just really big corporations).
If you want to get involved it's quite a bit of work: download the early releases, try them out (and maybe waste alot of work cause your code won't be compatible with the official release later), write up serious bug-reports, write up serious requests and don't just yell "I want it for Linux!"
Just as cost of living in diffrent parts of the world differs vastly, so do the tax laws and social dues.
I program Java in Germany and make aroung DM 5K/Month (divide ~2 for Dollars) before taxes and end up with about DM 2.9K. When you start really making money (as an employee) your tax+health insurance+unemployeement etc gets really close to 50%.
As far as I know, it's even worse than that in Scandinavian countries.
Hmm... According to Netcraft: "www.encanto.com is running Microsoft-IIS/3.0 on NT4 or Windows 98" So, what does that tell us? Just a marketing effort trying to jump on the bash-Microsoft bandwagon, I'd say.
I really don't think that the point is that ALL of Christendom is behind this. I would assume most moderate and intelligent Christians would find this game as silly and hypocrite as non-Christians. The point is that the same moral-authority types propagate this as "wholesome" that think it's evil if a 15 year sees a naked nipple, an 18 year old has a beer, and think it's a really good an worthy thing for everyone to be able to buy automatic weapons (and lay the blame for Columbine on South Park). I'm not much of a Doom/Quake/you-name-it fan, but I don't think it's evil. If a teenager is incapable of differentiating between killing in a game or on TV, the cause can't just be his playing Quake. If you do find Doom & Company offensive, this game is just as bad, what kind of a medieval concept of religion is it that allows killing for God? Ok, it's basically the same moral argument used to justify the death penalty.
