Hi arcite, I am currently trying to set up an IT training center in Mexico - maybe you can share some knowledge? - How do I contact you (if you are keen on sharing)? - Lars

Write down the names of the people behind!

On: Company Claims Patent Over XML

Here's an idea... Why don't someone (we/you/me..) make a web page with a growing list of names of the CEOs (or Cxxs in general ;-) ) behind the companies making these claims - exposing them to the public in a very accessible way. This way, these people will get negative vibes attached to their names - not only in the slashdot community (and similar) - but also making it harder for them to find venture capital for their next "project". Going after the people behind seems to be the only way these days... (as with SPAM)

3 times means life!

Coding while running?

On: Java IDEs?

As far as I know - Visual Age is the only tool allowing you to change the code while running. This way of doing it saves you a bunch of hours recompiling & restarting. As I see it - Visual Age is the ONLY real efficient prototyping/development tool for Java - the enterprise edition is a bit expensive - but it's worth it.
