I doubt that many non-hacker-types are writing directly in HTML. They tend to use some sort of HTML generator like Mozilla or Frontpage or DreamWeaver.
So, ideally, what we need to do is encourage the companies that generate HTML to use the standards, not teach every single person how to do it. Until that happens, I would think we'll still see a lot of non-standard HTML floating around out there.

Java vs .NET

· Score: 1
As mentioned in this article, "One of several themes that dominated the annual JavaOne love fest, held in June in San Francisco, was how to make Java easier to use. Sun demonstrated Rave, scheduled to ship next year, which is intended to simplify development of J2EE applications."
Or you can take a look at Unify's NXj and get this sort of functionality today.
Yes, I work there, and I'm biased. But the point is that Java is in desperate need of tools like this one to beat Microsoft's advancements in.Net.
Well, I can tell you from personal experience that the LockerGnome folks are not a good resource for telling you what works and what doesn't.
When I first complained that SpamAssassin blocked their newsletter, and merely asked if they could look into it, I was laughed at, and they tried to convince me that I needed to whitelist them or, in their words, "...learn how to use your spam blocking software".
Ironically, months later, they signed up for Habeas signatures on their emails.
It's interesting that NOW they decide to look into RSS as a solution. I wonder if it is because Habeas isn't working.
I don't think it's possible! I mean, won't they need a DEBUGGER?
"Hey, robot unit at IP fec1:ffff:100:f102::1 seems to be pushing other robots off that 200 foot skyscraper, can you log in here right away?"
First off, the install tests don't always work. Loading the mysql module requires setting up a database first, something you don't know about until all the tests fail. So you have to "install force" and pray it works.
Second, there are LOTS of dependencies between perl modules and system libraries. Often, you'll have the runtimes for the libraries you need, but not the archives, so you can't build the module unless you download a bunch of -devel RPMs.
And, it sure is nice to do "rpm --verify" and verify that your RPMs are untouched.
Although one can count on Microsoft to "do it wrong", I imagine there is someone in their umpteen thousand engineers who might actually know enough to do the encryption properly.
What would really surprise me is if they actually use some GPLed public/private key encryption!
I'm sure there are others... Someone Copied Our-code, Stupid Company Owners, Strange Copyleft Oversight, Sponsor of Community Outrage, Someone Couldn't Obfuscate.
Or maybe their stock symbol explains it better... "S-COX"... you can guess what the S stands for!
They don't really even solve the provider problem. If I want to pay someone.1 cents per view, I just keep a counter. I check the counter at the end of the "payment cycle" and then use another normal service to pay for the amount owed.
The reason this site is down is not because of a CPU problem. Check out these errors:
Warning: php_hostconnect: connect failed in/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 19
Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.procooling.com/banners/top346.html' for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in/home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/index.php on line 19

So it appears that they are doing something awful in their PHP -- trying to connect to themselves!
Sigh -- if PHP were just more difficult to use maybe there would be fewer errors.
You should have seen what I did to my network card after it stopped working! Amazingly, after an approximate 20G throw against the wall, it started working again!
So if I have a contract with them to get a core developer, one would think that this contract might be hard to keep... they promised access to the core developers. Sounds like another lawsuit brewing here for those premium support JBoss customers!
Did you see the segway home page? Down at the bottom, they are selling insurance for this thing! Why not scare the old lady into paying a little extra for an insurance policy?
They also imply that it is considered a "vehicle" by some insurance companies.
I can assure you these are no desktop computers. Here's what they do GREAT:
- Play MP3's, ogg files, and even video -- particularly with OpenZaurus (OZ). - Let you reference your contacts, appointments, to-do lists
Here's what they're GOOD at:
- Enter new appointments, to-do list items. Data entry is slower than on a laptop or desktop. - Synchronize with your desktop. Setup is tricky on these units, especially if you go with a pure Linux solution, but doable.
And here's where mine is not-so-good: - Trying to store any good size software package (like a compiler). Yes you CAN add a 256MB SD card or a 1G hard disk, but the hard disk eats your battery.. - Trying to do software development. Data entry is too slow without a full size keyboard (yes, I know you CAN hook one up, but that's difficult too). You have to build on a PC and deploy to the Zaurus. QT development is nice, though! - Surfing the web. It works, but the small screen size and zooming and whatnot makes it tricky. - Entering a long document. Without a full sized keyboard, it's slow.
And, the impossible: - Trying to do something requiring a lot of CPU. You can try running xmame, for example, but most of the games won't work because the CPU is not good enough.
Since I spammed once before, I'd be exempt from wasting other's resources? I wonder how this would apply to, say, cable television theft: "If you've stolen cable TV in the last three years, you can keep stealing it". Why is spam any different?
Next thing you'll hear is that they're licensing spammers to raise revenue to combat the nation debt.

I think they will be threatened on this front soon enough.
Have you seen products like NXj from Unify Corp? It's an awesome front-end gui that generates java, has a simple 4GL, and competes in this area.
I think one could easily argue that in the network A-B-C, A is "connected" to C. I guess I just don't like the wording of this.
What about the scenario if I run a cable from my house to my neighbor's house and charge him for the service? Using your argument, this is permitted in their AUP. I am pretty sure this is not their intent.
I would love it if they said something like "the number of computers or routers directly connected to our network is specified in the service agreement. Each such computer or router is allowed to use only one dynamically-assigned IP address. No computers attached directly or indirectly to our equipment may be located off premises."
You may be right about allowing servers, but this doesn't authorize you to connect another computer to the network.
The part that bothers me most is they actually call it theft of service.
I think they probably copied this from a cable company's "AUP", in which hooking up extra TV sets to your cable may be a violation of your agreement. This could make a precedent if they actually pursue this as theft of service and win. It would be interesting for a jury to consider this "just like cable TV".
I do think the intent of the AUP is for them to have an idea of what's behind my firewall, and I'm not about to do that.
I just tried calling AT&T Broadband to cancel my service, since I have found broadband access elsewhere, and they said they couldn't do it! The problem is they are changing their systems, and suggested I call back on the 12th.
The main reason I chose to look elsewhere is their new subscriber agreement specifically states that you are stealing their service if you hook up another computer to the network:
(g.) Theft of Service. Customer shall not connect the Service or any AT&T Broadband Equipment to more computers, either on or outside of the Premises, than are reflected in Customer's account with AT&T Broadband. Customer acknowledges that any unauthorized receipt of the Service constitutes theft of service, which is a violation of federal law and can result in both civil and criminal penalties. In addition, if the violations are willful and for commercial advantage or private financial gain, the penalties may be increased.
So... for those of you staying with AT&T Broadband, you better tell them about masqueraded hosts!

First, how many reboots would it take to install any MS OS?
Second, does MS even RUN on something like that (i.e., is it even POSSIBLE to utilize the processors)?
And, finally, how long would it take for it to be infested with SoBig?
Second, there are LOTS of dependencies between perl modules and system libraries. Often, you'll have the runtimes for the libraries you need, but not the archives, so you can't build the module unless you download a bunch of -devel RPMs.

This request is sort of like a Family Law restraining order. Those have higher priority because their intent is to stop additional damage.
Might not match any documents, but sure does match the ad for MSN!

Great! I'll ship my CD collection to someone in Europe and ask them to upload it to the P2P network.
What a preposterous law! Seems a lot like the Office of Precrime to me.

Sounds like a typical PDA if you ask me.

Wow, me too! I wonder if we can file a class-action lawsuit for the costs incurred for this trip?
I think they will be threatened on this front soon enough. Have you seen products like NXj from Unify Corp? It's an awesome front-end gui that generates java, has a simple 4GL, and competes in this area.
I don't see how that is possible. AT&T tells me they cannot terminate my account until the 12th.
