  1. Apache once again a dumping Grounds on Oracle To Give OpenOffice.org To Apache Incubator · · Score: 1

    I am surprised that the Apache Board voted Incubate this given there was the forked project. An end user Office Suite is a huge undertaking and to my knowledge a first at Apache. I can only speculate that allot of $$$ was promised. -Rob

  2. SP2=Blue Screen of Death on Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Released · · Score: 1

    I installed this on my wife computer no problem Vista Home. When I tried installing it on my Vista Ultimate machine Toshiba U205 I received the Blue Screen of Death during the reboot. I came up in safe mode, rolled back the change. Then started up in safe mode, shutdown unnecessary services, then installed SP2 and it installed fine.

    Also what happens when metal comes in contact with the transmission beam ?

  4. What about space junk? on Obama Transition Team Examining Space Solar Power · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If they are in low earth orbit odds of a shuttle hitting space junk http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,418741,00.html are about 1-300 (I assume over a week period). This means with such a large area odds of a collision to be over 99% at low earth orbit. Now to beam power down that would be geo- which is still pretty crowded ... For low earth orbit below 600km gravity eventually cleans up the mess but not geostationary: http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2003/07/16/2003059688

  5. Solution on The End of the Free PCI Device List (Update) · · Score: 1

    A Trademark is the exact logo that was trademarked.

    Simply using the letters PCI in a font that doesn't resemble the logo is not a problem !

  6. QT, Java and Kylix on Portable Coding and Cross-Platform Libraries? · · Score: 1

    I definately agree. Use Kylix I programmed with Delphi for 4+ years full time. I was a wonderful system. I have been programming with Java/JSP/jakarta-struts for about 14 months now and it is by far the most primative environment I have developed in for years. Developing GUI's and Database applications take about 10x longer. Also if you are familar with Java then Kylix would be a snap, if you used Object Pascal. It is a very beautiful language. There is also the C++ version of Kylix. It's gui system also uses QT at its base ! Why did I stop programming in Delphi ? It was more a decision to leave my old job, than to switch languages. I wanted to expand my experience. I could produce pretty complex database applications,20 + tables, reports, help files, with a good look and feel in just 3 to 4 months of development.
