  1. Honeypot? on How Did Wikileaks Do It? · · Score: 1

    This entire post seems suspiciously like a honeypot to me! Don't post the real answer unless you want to get caught!

  2. Oracle is a big Eclipse supporter too - OEPE on Oracle Outlines Plans for Sun Products, Casts Doubt on NetBeans · · Score: 5, Interesting
    Disclaimer - I work for Oracle and came from the BEA Systems acquisition.

    My personal opinion is that Oracle is very dedicated to the entire Eclipse ecosystem as well as to JDeveloper. It's about choice. There is an entire free download product that is continually being enhanced called the Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (Oh-Pee is how we say it within Oracle). In fact I believe it was one of the first, if not the first commercial IDE to support the latest Eclipse 3.5 Galileo. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/enterprise-pack-for-eclipse/index.html OEPE is targeted for Java and JEE developers and is mostly about supporting the Java standards. Additionally, the majority of the TopLink code was donated as the EclipseLink project and is currently the JPA reference implementation. Just take a look at the presence has at the next Eclipse conference and I think you will see that Oracle is committed to Eclipse. http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/

    When you get into the "upper-stack" components like SOA Suite for integration and WebCenter Suite for enterprise portal development, and Oracle's Application Development Framework (ADF) that Oracle strongly recommends JDeveloper. Those products have been based on JDeveloper for a long time and the user-experience developing for those products is extremely smooth because Oracle can influence everything about the IDE. If you want to do Java and JEE development in JDeveloper, you can do that too. It's your choice.

  3. TechCrunch technology interviews with candidates on Presidential Candidates and Online Privacy · · Score: 1

    The interviews cover a variety of technology topics. Here is an example of a question asked to Barack Obama: Should the government involve itself in protecting personal privacy online? Since current measures are doing little to solve the problem, what do you think can be done to address the issue?

    Barack Obama
    John Edwards
    Mitt Romney
    John McCain

  4. PicasaWeb RSS feed and Google Maps App on Using Google Maps With a Photo Album · · Score: 2, Informative
    If anyone uses Picasa, I wrote a simple app that takes the location data in the Picasa Web RSS feed and generates a map with a list of albums in the feed and push pins. I'm willing to share this code freely if there is a place to put it or share it with the folks at Google working on Picasa. It is a java app that deploys on Tomcat. You can contact me at jambay @ yahoo . com

    There is a form on the bottom that takes in the URL of a Picasa Web RSS feed that it will try and parse.

  5. Re:Hmm.... on WTO Again Sides With Antigua Over Online Gambling · · Score: 3, Informative
    I do not think your argument holds up to scrutiny. Antigua is calling the US a hypocrite because we allow certain types of gambling, even remote gambling (off-track betting with horses and dogs, keno, lotteries, etc). I do not think your arguing about a different realm and a potential increase in gambling means anything from a legal perspective. It's an emotional and relative argument that is not consistent with how the law is currently applied. Quoted from the news service:

    The report also noted that the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA), which was passed after Antigua's initial complaint, has the same loopholes that exist in the laws that encouraged Antigua to file the complaint. These loopholes are the main reasons that the panel ruled the U.S. is violating trade laws. Because the U.S. allows certain types of online gambling transactions to take place within its borders, but actively tries to stop the same services from being offered by companies located outside the U.S., the U.S. is violating WTO agreements.
