Reminded me how at one of my jobs I rigged Swing TestRunner to display different shade of red/pink etc. depending on number of failures.
It was my silent protest against the culture where it was "ok" if not quite all the tests passed.
"How are the tests? - still pink!"
EnterFind appliance (the product I helped developing last year) is cheaper, handles native Windows shares(not just HTTP) as well as databases and has web-services API.
I can recommend project I was working on - EnterFind Appliance - network-centric and many more options than even Google appliance. And realistic pricing.
funny how many people jumped on it.
What I meant was the "fluff portion of J2EE" which is to say EJBs - what makes J2EE development bloated, slow and painful.
one thing - since nodes share nothing, your eventual bottleneck will be the database not the application server. Latest versions of Oracle allow setting up clusters of cheap Linux boxes and such setup can take enormous beating.
Another thing - Hibernate now has very nice caching abilities so your database load will not be as high as you think.
(for those who actually care to get something out of the door)
Java:
front end - Tomcat running JSPs (JSTL or Velocity for templating)
in the middle - Spring and Spring MVC
Closer to database - Hibernate.
Ideally, everything running in same JVM. Add more servers for scalability front-ending them with load balancer with sticky sessions.
No J2EE fluff, easy to find people, good productivity.
These guys are sitting on a gold mine (properly edited/. with well-developed related services).
It is their baby however and their choice not to make it what it could have been.
Interesting how the quality of the comments went together with the quality of content too.
Not buying that.
Did anyone before have this unprecedented access to people and information we call Internet today?
Red tape is something to live with and work thru - like savages and deceases for capt. Cook;-)
speed is awesome, DNS outages almost weekly, "big" outages twice in two years, support ok - "Bill" and "Joe" with nice southwestern Mombai accents, I 'd say 6 out of 10.
Native Eclipse is a BIG deal. If I read it correctly, this is Eclipse IDE compiled without a JVM (Sun's or someoneelse's) using gcc/gcj. I wonder if this Eclipse installation includes a plugin or something to easily develop native, SWT-based, JVM-less Java apps.
..if after all is set and done, Apple would have NO protection against running OSX86 on a white box?
Steve must understand that early adopter geek "pirates" are the best way to start a viral spread.
Even whith limited x86 hardware compatability (which will be much worse than even Linux), the fact that said geek pirate can install it and show to his friends could mean eventual end of MS as we know it.
or how the guy who (sadly) knew this stuff put it:
"What, generally speaking, are the symptoms of a revolutionary situation? We shall certainly not be mistaken if we indicate the following three major symptoms: (1) when it is impossible for the ruling classes to maintain their rule without any change; when there is a crisis, in one form or another, among the "upper classes", a crisis in the policy of the ruling class, leading to a fissure through which the discontent and indignation of the oppressed classes burst forth. For a revolution to take place, it is usually insufficient for "the lower classes not to want" to live in the old way; it is also necessary that "the upper classes should be unable" to live in the old way; (2) when the suffering and want of the oppressed classes have grown more acute than usual; (3) when, as a consequence of the above causes, there is a considerable increase in the activity of the masses, who uncomplainingly allow themselves to be robbed in "peace time", but, in turbulent times, are drawn both by all the circumstances of the crisis and by the "upper classes" themselves into independent historical action."

..is reserved for more-substantive matters and emergencies"
I think I missed this new trend: so basically you supposed to call people on weekly basis to summarize all the heart attacks and child births that happened?
.. for good, all we need to do is peer-to-peer distributed solution?
A card that can hold unique id and your public/private key pair and a ubiquos cheap device everywhere allowing to "mate" any two cards and sign (transfer bit of trust) from one card to another?
Plus a Congress mandate NOT to store any identifiable info next the the card number and just permitting storing trust relationships?
Seems an ID card like that will satisfy needs of anyone: contr-terrorism agencies (person buying the plane ticket will be more scrutinized if his trust level low/non-existent), credit agencies (trustworthy people are good with money), etc.
the meat of the matter is that the guy who did anti-counterfeit work, testified that while doing so he encountered muslims running the things and various artifacts tying them to Hezbollah, Holy Land Foundation, etc. So, in fact, some people doing mass-scale piracy things were also involved with known terrorists.
That is all there is to it. Maybe we can just save crying wolves! until the next time?

I doubt Clinton knew what he was doing ;-)
not knowing what he was doing never stopped Clinton from doing it

for brane wavez!
So when a geek need to express something in english we just run it thru it and it comes out just fine perfectly!
surely you meant: Receivable?

I agree. Disaster is where /dot shines. The threads for New York blackout and Indian Ocean tsunami coverage were also exceptional.

Due to the lack of water, tourism and mining are the only sources of income ;-)
Obviously neither one requires water to operate
no reverse-psychology never works. I am telling you never.
Offtopic? Did Slashdot add some kind of random moderation just to spice things up a bit?

No this is for people who would consider this a pay raise and are comfortable with little trolling for dollars kind of thing.
I like number 9 photo - beautiful pic. Like a frame from some sci-fi classic that has not been shot yet ;-)
