Java vs .NET
·
· Score: 1
Check out this thing for a great example of embedded Java: TINI: Tiny InterNet Interface. It is a small SIMM with a microprocessor, ethernet, serial, 1-Wire, CAN, etc. Fairly low cost too. The most amazing thing is it has a full JVM ported to it so all the firmware is in Java. It has a pretty active community, check it out.
There are a lot of advantages to this but there are two huges ones I can think of. A full TCP/IP stack included for absolutely free. (Since it implements the java.net package) This makes it veryyy easy to net-enable various devices. Another big advantage is that you can develop most of the firmware on your desktop and move it to the embedded device when it's ready.
One may interpret through this that I think Free Software in inheritly Communist - and I don't agree. One of the central principles of Communism is Central Planning, and that's NOT how Linux etc development is done - it's more like a free market of ideas.
Hmmmm. Maybe that's how most open source development is done, but Linux *kernel* is veryyyy centrally planned. Try and submit a kernel patch. (Assuming you've never submitted one before). Let me know how it goes. I'm betting you'll get shutdown unless you are on Linus' whitelist.
Who said they are looking at eBay? Maybe they are researching something for their job. I personally don't want to work anywhere where the company can't trust it's employees enough to give them internet access. When locking down computers restricts productivity, it has gone too far. Use filters or logs or whatever but don't lock it down completely.
My friend's company is locked down - no internet, no installs. He has to deal with a lot of zip files of data. The only approved software is WinZip which can't easily extract multiple Zip file. So I emailed him some 25KB open source exe that can unzip multiple files at once. He is terrified of being caught having this thing, even though it saves his company *hours* of time every week.
I don't know if you read the whole article, but the guy mentioned your point exactly. A large reply-to-post value could indicate someone is more likely to be a flame warrior.
Mod parent up, that article was very interesting. I'd recommend reading it (especially if you were planning an anti-MS flame).
It looks like they want to do for Usenet (and other public forumns) what Google is doing for web pages. Or as someone else said, what Slashdot does with karma. It's a way to sort the cream from the crap. Google Groups just dumps them all out - there is no value added to the search, AFAIK.
Most of them? I'd guess 1%, max. If you want a great free email service try fastmail.fm. It has IMAP support so you can check it with any email client too.
Hmmm? I think it's replacement is Entourage. And that was just recently updated to support Exchange calandering, IIRC. That makes OS X a compelling business platform IMO.
Haha, I loved this line: "By leveraging innovative technologies, content providers streamline compelling enterprise solutions." It reminds me of the web economy bullshit generator.
It's IMAP too so it stays on the server and you can check it all over. Vastly superior to Hotmail in my opinion. I believe they have spam more under control than Hotmail too with SpamAssasin.
A think a lot of non-savvy home users use OE as their email client. My parents and ex-GF did. I don't think Hotmail is a valid alternative, there is just too much spam on Hotmail. I think this leaves the door open for other email clients like Mozilla Mail or Thunderbird.
Hmmm. Usually the person has to make some comment that makes a great deal of sense, but not on Slashdot. Something like "You didn't read the article did you?" Keep trying, it'll work.;)
That's among the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. Any file with the name Junior in it? Good lord. If anyone has Junior in their name, they should send these guys a C&D. If computers are allowed to send them for no good reason, why can't humans?
Arstechnica.com has speculated before that Transmeta could easily use the same approach to optimise for speed/performance as opposed to power consumption : I'm hoping they do.
Really? Interesting. I would figure it could never be as fast as native x86, it's all still emulation.

Was that supposed to be "eh?". Wow, you are the first 700 000+ UID I've seen. :)

Noooo that's immoral! Looking up public information on individuals is immoral!! Actually I take that back, it's only immoral if Microsoft does it.
What about her writing "single" instead of "signal"?
Entourage IMAP configuration
And I've used IMAP on Outlook for years: Outlook IMAP Setup

Rightttt. If Microsoft realeased a patch that corrupts your filesystem and it would get pulled from Windows Update in about 90 seconds.

Yes.... I think they will call it.... I know! "Internet Explorer"!
It took months for KDE 3 to go into unstable.
Oh, I found a good example.
No no no, they are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet! Not unlike icemen actually.

It's quite easily explainable: GNU's Not Unix.
