And that's the whole point of OpenSource in my mind. There will still be half the net out there that doesn't use ms and won't. We will just build our own and go on. It's a grass roots movement. Grass roots movments cannot be killed off.
Like some of the other posts said, we will just program around any MS wall. We've been doing it for years now.
If you can't beat'em, join'em. MS needs to realize that they are on the wrong side of the camp. They need to embrace Linux and OSS, because of they don't they will be washed away.
All you have to do is download a SUSE or Caldera distribution etc. Since they all are compliant, it doesn't make a whole hill of difference wich distro you use. If you write an app for Suse, it sohuld work for Caldera. Isn't this the whole point!
Isn't this whole thing just a standard between a few comapnies.
I would have thought this would have atleast made the list. Even the top ten. The Vision is great, and the precision is also why up there (if you add a few years to the date). There is some decent speed to the movie (typical as opposed to high energy plasma cannons). It's also visually stunning..
We are a little Evil to begin with I guess, we have to validate you over the phone for the services we provide. We Legally have to have your phone number, and email address before we can let you evalutate the software. I've spent the last 3 months screwing my design for the fucking lawyers..
Do you ever wonder if Koter-Kelly is to the point of just dreading any new "Testimonies." I think I'd be completely burnt out by now with the daily bullshit from both sides. It's got to be pissing her off by now.
I've got a little shell script that runs every morning as a cron job. It's only burned me once. It's great to come in to work every morning and have mozilla be just a little different, and working better. All hail the mighty lizzard!!

however, if you are building a top of the line workstation system. Price watch is still the way to go. When I go for a balls to the wall system with a 2500 budget, the amount of quality I get at pricewatch far outweighs the amount I would get from dell. For my home system though, 499 at dell/ibm/hp/qpac is hard to turn down.
You should take a look at the as400 file system from IBM. It's a keyed file system. That has had a db2 abstraction layer placed on top of it. Kinda freaky. It makes every data file in the system queryable. It's very wierd trying to move around it. But it works.
The only problem we've had with mimio boards is that when you erase stuff on the screen, it doesn't erase the marker off the board. This works the other way around. I don't see why I can't edit my white board over the network. They've got a way to go, IMHO.
Open source software is the real cockroach of the internet. It's everywhere and no matter what MS does they can't seem to stamp it out. After the holocust the only softwhere left will be open source, since no one will be able to find the single copy of closed source software locked in some dead corporate vault somewhere.
This sounds like wishfull thinking. Http is over used. Every time someone wants to implement a new protocal latly , it seems that they do it over http, as opposed to implementing there own. esp, if it can be async.
I'm sure that sun will include it for free in their Linux distribution. They might get alot more people using their distro that way.
I really don't understand charging for it on windows though..
If you have a kernel with mosix http://www.mosix.org/ patched into it, and then added a nice gui, I could see it as a similar thing to this 'Pooch' software.
Comparing it to PVM http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/ (where I think the real work of clustering on linux is done). Usually requiers special code the is highly specialized for the application. Not just a recompile.
Parallel problems require a completely different approach or you end up with worse performance than it running on a single machine (due to bandwidth usually).
What kinda of cluster are we talking about?
Grid, tree, hypercube..
This artilce is just pure Mac FUD the more I think about it.
Putting courts online is what I do. The biggest problems that we encounter are a lack of electronic standards. There?s legalXML and others, but most of the are not finished yet, or not broad ranging enough to truly useful. Michigan is by far and away in the lead in putting things online though. They have the benefit of an in house development system. So that $200K+ that you saw is mostly staying in the state. Most of the other states out there use private contractors, which work nothing alike, nor is there a spirit of cooperation. Which makes developing standards a pain. After a while most courts tend to adapt their ?internal standards? to the system that they use. Which means that when you get right down to it, two counties right next to each other will use complete different means of case tracking. In some areas such as civil cases. There are no standards in the way a case is actually moved through the court. And how dispositions are recorded much less followed to insure that they have been satisfied. It?s a system designed by lawyers that has been allowed to adapt and change unchecked for 200 years. The legal code is full of kludge. It may never get organized enough.
Isn't netbeans/forte the same thing, an ide base, with alot of developer plugins floating around it? It's based on a Java core and not a C core, but other than that, is eclipse that same or even more modular..?
That's exactly what we do at my company. We are putting circut court data on the net. But we do it by have a cetralized database, which the individual counties send updates to, and nothing ever goes back to them from us.
The simple answer to this solution is to ask about what the executive staff is like before going to work at a place. Your interview should be as much about them as it is you..
My mother has been runing Linux as her home desktop for about 2 years now. KDE, StarOffice and Netscape are all she really uses. She likes it so much that she converted the library that she runs to Linux. And now the entire Institution is switching. And all this in Medellin,Colombia.
I think the Mom test, is a very fair one. I Never get frantic calls anymore or viruses.
I went to Earlham college, where one of the main overall ideas for the campus was community. Most of our classes expressed this idea by doing things in small groups. In the CS Dept. We usually had groups of no more than 3 people. The professors usually tried to make very balanced groups of skills and personalities. They evaluated both how the group did as a whole in meetings with each group. during those meetings they also got a feel for how each member was contributing to the group. Politics were part of the whole process, and you just had to deal with them. That was one of the things they were trying to teach. However, our class size was very small.
I think at a larger university, you could also do this, but you would have to have a very good GA pool. And professors who would let the GA be a little more autonomous.

Here's a suggestion: if you don't like the system and don't feel like changing the system, take your bombs and move to Columbia or the middle east.
that ColOmbia with an O, uless you are refering to Columbia Missouri..:)
