..proprietary messaging framework that (among other things) can be used to synchronize file folders across the Internet. It is XML based, have free (with source) clients for Java or.NET, supports offline clients and works both ways thru the firewalls.
Suppose, I am starting a new project destined to change the world.
It is definitely going to be thick-client-based one. I would consider.NET if I can be reasonably sure that those 5% of my potential users who do not run Windows on their desktop will still be able to run my application.
If Windows.Forms will not be usable in Mono, this does not sound like much of an option and I would be better off with Java/Swing (as lead-footed as it is).
I read the roadmap things but it is still not clear to me if Windows.Forms is going to be more mature (implement more of the Microsoft namespaces correctly) in the future.
VMS!
Control-C (or was Control-Y?) always worked!!!
what about Internet connection over BT phone?

Spammed by Bluetooth
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
I understand that some bluetooth phones are used to connect your PDA or laptop to the Internet.
Is it possible to place a laptop next to a phone, somehow hijack the connection, get the IP address, send 1000 spam messages and disconnect?
Should not take more than 30-50 seconds.
there is a
framework where they believe in exposing the business objects inside the app to the end user.
Kinda like spreadsheet / powerpoint but the real deal.
>> So RedHat is an Enterprise OS company targetting what Sun/HP/MS/IBM are already been highly established in?
And because it does not have resources / sales etc. of Sun or HP, it is going to become (the way Wall Street would look at it) basically a vendor selling small, proprietary Unix solutions, kinda like (o horror!) SCO.
Now, I never used either and I probably should.
But to be able to provide the community with continuous development and updates there must be some kind of corporate entity behind the product.
Bandwidth and people's time do not grow on the trees.
Even if the core developers are volunteers, someone still has to spend some (maybe little) money to put the releases together.
I am disappointed with RedHat. It used to be the source of cheap (free) high-quality Linux distribution I could recommend to a client and client would have instant name recognition.
RedHat Linux downloaded from redhat.com has become == Linux for many professional types.
Enterprise RedHat, for many people, would be similar to Solaris - a vendor lockin of sorts. I personally had problems with it when I needed newer features already available in the current kernel but they were not available in the Enterprise (which is really several big versions behind). Before, I could fall back to standard RedHat and get features I needed, now I wont' be able to.
Just curious -
have any of the slashdotters used rule-based frameworks for real-life projects?
What do you think about Java Community Process Rule Engine JSR?
What about frameworks that try to keep things simple, like Ruleaid?
>>generally tell Microsoft to suck it
And they will just keep adding zeroes to their offer until Google founders buckle.
Something like 40B in cash / MS stock got to do the trick.
let's face it - even if Google can raise that much in stock offering it would not be the same: by accepting MS offer, the founders and hundreds of people who worked so hard to make Google what it is today can retire millionairs.
This is just matter of time.
Distributed, peer-to-peer search engine is our only hope.
Even better: WE CAN ALLOCATE OUR OWN TAXES.
suppose you owe $340 in taxes this week. You just go to your computer and do: $50 for the law inforcement, $35 for the military, $5 for Iraq and so on.
This will force the special interest groups to lobby YOU, the individual taxpayer, and will change everything.
Obviosly you are not familiar with terms of government sponsored research.
a. it does not have to make sense
b. collecting the results from runaway roaches might as well be the topic of the new round of research (and funding) for the next year.
>>offsite backups
In my setup, I designated one folder on the Samba server for all the stuff I absolutely cannot live without (about 300MB) and I have a cron job to tar | gzip | encrypt with gpg | scp to the remotely hosted server I have account on.
Works pretty well. If there is fire at my house, loosing home videos is not as bad as loosing business docs, source code, tax files, etc.
SCSI drives I used Linux software RAID. Worked well all the time until drives started dying.
I switched to Escalade 4way IDE card and could not be happier. I have about 800GB now on my home server.
The guys who used to live in former communist countries - remember the supermarkets with just 5 items for sale 2 of them being plastic bags?
Enough said.
And both of those statements are true, aren't they?
Saddam was personally paying to the families of the Hamaz bombers.
There were visits to Baghdad by the members of the Al Qaeda and other things.
By the way the 16 words in the State of the Union were truth as well but it was a stupid thing to say nevertheless.
Dont take me wrong, I am by no means any kind of blind-faith Bush supporter, but there should be some kind of attempt to be fair and balanced (even if you are not Fox news;-)
What really pisses me off is the Slashdotters who disagree with original poster but post as ACs and do not have guts to use their nicks.
Like bloody karma is more important than issues at stake.
Could you post a link to a news article or any reputable source stating how and when
"they were making claims that Saddam was behind 9/11"?
Without such information this is , I am afraid, just typical FUD.
Thanks
Could be interesting thing long-term - Novell becoming major bad-ass player (again) armed with Ximian desktop / Evolution, always-popular directory thingie and finally Linux distro to integrate everything with. Plus Mono as a hidden weapon.
Exupery was definitely not an "aircraft designer".
Just a French pilot (commercial and later American military) and writer.
And Little Prince is still available in US but translation was really bad.
For all those./ers who really believe that "Eudora did this for years" and "OpenOffice does all of it and more":
Two major new things in Office 2003 are support for XML schemas and DRM.
With XML, it appears, you can constrain something like Excel spreadsheet by an XML schema and attach it to some kind of backend XML storage. Also ability to create your own XML schemas. If these features work as advertized, it is kickass and no opensource (or closed-) solution comes even close.
With DRM you can limit who can view and update your docs, set expiration dates. etc. All in the familiar, integrated desktop environment. This is godsend to businesses who are growing and cannot rely on simple folder naming conventions for their document needs yet cannot afford real ERP/CRM system. This is like 75% of US businesses.
Collaboration with SharePoint server is pretty good too.
Advance of Linux as a server platform forced Microsoft to innovate and Windows 2000 and 2003 became very capable server platforms.
Just like that, the mere hint of upcoming Linux desktop is now forcing MS to innovate in the Office/Desktop arena.
My question is when OpenSource will stop following and take the lead in this area as well?
OpenOffice is nice but it (plus Evolution) is functionally compatible to MS Office 97.
Is something like Chandler going to become OpenSource Office darling?
Now the Java threads are just the abstractions within JVM, are they not?
There is not necesserely one-to-one correlation between operating system thread and a Java thread.
I know that on Solaris that is definetely not the case and on Win32 it always is - due to poor threading model in NT.
Anyone has in-depth knowledge of this subject in respect to Linux?

Sorry could not resist.
They have decent speeds and allow static IPs / servers but once something goes wrong their support people are completely and totally clueless.

14-16 mpg is the "reasonably efficient car" around here. Something like Dakota light truck.
Most of SUVs are even worse.
