What if all the functions of Slashdot were avaliable via SOAP? Then anyone could easily write a Slashdot application that looks more like a news reader, or whatever you want. The value of such a program is debatable, but at least it would be an option. How about weather information, traffic reports, interest rates, currency exchange rates, etc.
Or what if all functions of slashdot were available via CGI . Then anyone could write a slashdot application.....
There's nothing new under the sun.

If you want a good response time, then you have to have people sitting around ready to take calls.
How many times have you been on the end of the phone for 90 minutes listening to 'we value your call' crap.
I know for a fact that pets warehouse is a front for a drug peddling business, and they steal all of their pets from small children.

Every upgrade carries with it the risk that it will completely screw your system. So if you have a critical system which is working fine why should you risk jeopardising it with an upgrade ? I think it's a crap idea.
Let sleeping dogs lie. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I paid $80 for my redhat box - Could I get it to install/work - could I fruck). Whats more being a minimalist I threw the box away which had the serial no. on it - and so I could not get any tech support. In the end I gave my redhat distro to a friend and downloaded mandrake - and it's been happy hacking ever since.
I haven't done the MSCE exams, but I got the impression they are pretty tough - And I respect that anyone who has MSCE certification has put a lot of effort into getting it.
I wouldn't do those exams - too much effort for too little return.
The article talks about linux as if it is not remotely related to unix - I view linux as another version of unix like solaris or aix. Does anyone else think this - everytime I read something in the press about linux it's allways the same (and it drives me crazy!).
eg it also shows that Linux does in fact threaten Unix.
um, linux is unix!
This contrasts with Unix in that developers write software for every version of Unix, including for tools and patches.
oh - and you don't have to write software for linux ?
This is crazy. It's like asking coca cola to realease their recipe.
I think microsoft should submit the code without comments, indentation or whitespace all concatenated in one big file. Then print it out and hand it over to the judge as one big paper print out - after all they didn't say which format the code should be in. - The trial would then last enother 136 years and everyone in the USA would have to become a lawyer.

I thought they made their money by selling the first few search result slots. So they will still make money regardless of how you access the data.

There are no new ideas in computing.
hence all the new sw patents springing up left right and centre!

yes but the point is the command prompt ie the dos shell, is a pile of shit.
I've not seen OSX, though I've heard good things
funny, I don't know OSX at all, but I've heard nothing but bad things about it since it was released.
When I installed linux, My mouse pointer was invisible - This is not acceptable! I love linux - just never ask me to install it.

just my 2 cents worth. You now owe me 2 cents.
I love this, in the land of the free you can't import a serial cable. Words fail me.
