It all depends upon what you do. For me I use Linux to spin mp3/ogg and scratch them like turntables using terminatorX, there's no comparable mac or windows software, Abelton comes closest, but doesn't handle ogg files. Likewise if you're a computer animator you'd get much more mileage out of using maya under linux rather than using it under windows (performance and stability are better).
Actually Perens is a drop-out who didn't study computers in college, and he's a very good programmer, having built most of Pixar's tools Bruce is a self taught genius and this is surely HP's loss, not his.
Yeah, people often forget that the vision impaired are huge music consumers, who are often left out, check out my website http://brianredfern.com for a music download site that's blind friendly.
How about weaving some conducting material such as thin, bare copper into the roofs, also a good antenna inside the house (even if its brick or stone should work). The best way to tell is just to see how good standard radio reception is within the structure. If its very bad, then wireless may not work, but if its ok, the buildings are most likely close enough to not need external antennas, that would only be needed if you were using line of site wireless access, but even in that case antena material could be woven into the roof to give access.
It seems that a blog novel isn't stricly a blog, as a blog is supposed to be a "tour of the web", according to weblogs.com, with a link and some editorial info about that link. You should check out Eastgate.com, they make great software for hypertext writing, which I think is a more powerful way of writing electronic text. That being said, though, more power to you for trying to be creative and do something unusual!

Qt vs MFC

What's interesting about qt is that its easy to get an app to run both on the desktop and then have a smaller screen version for qtopia.
PNG is a royalty free community owned format, similar to Ogg Vorbis, so its likely to be more important, and it is supported by 4.0 + browsers and mozilla, not sure if netscape 4.* supports it, but most netscape users have moved to mozilla, since mozilla is standards based.
That's the biggest problem,.Net isn't as portable as java, also java is meant to be a great kitchen sink system, with everything from multimedia to raw socket connections. Also, if you don't like java, you can use python with jython to write java class files using a simple scripting language. Java is just so rich, the api has so many goodies to choose from, and the apps can be easily adapted from J2SE to the simpler J2ME CLDC, you still can only use C# to write desktop applications, and having it run clients on the handheld really isn't in the cards for c#, since all applications are supposed to run on MS servers. True I suppose things are getting ported to C#, but still, why go to all the effort to learn it when Java has such a huge head start, and Sun isn't try to kill linux either.
Final scratch does an intersting job, using a special record that goes onto a convetional turntable that controls the audio playback on a linux box, so you can cue, scratch, and all the rest and integrate easily with an existing vinyl setup.
TerminatorX is an awsome piece of software for linux that gets close as well, its what I use to dj.
Then there's the new Pioneer cd tables that have a touch sensitive cuing surface, 0 latency and lifelike enough scratching that longtime pro vinyl heads like the Cut Chemist have switched to it.
I actually run apache on my sharp zaurus, not to serve webpages, but to have a portable php/mysql web dev environment. It could be useful to have apache running on ps2 linux to just have a php dev environment, then when someone compiles binaries for mysql you could have a complete web dev environment.
Well, there's a balance, because more often than not these are the rotten guys who drive us to work weekend after weekend while our sig-o's leave us after feeling negelected, while these "project managers" are off playing with their girlfriend on a wave runner, y'know. Every good Project Manager I've worked with had done some programming, they weren't necessarily a great or even professional programmer, but all had played with programming, or at least tried to take classes to see what is technically possible, as there is a difference between what's visionary and what's ridiculous, what if steve jobs had demanded that the mac os have full multitasking back in '83, forget it! Jobs is a great visionary because he knows what is both possible and what things could be done, but just aren't. The mac didn't come about because it changed the laws of physics, it just took a new approach to computing that was possible, but just never had enough backing to make it out of the lab.
Wow, I've seen this type of insanity myself, managers reading too many tech magazines with lots of sun, oracle, and bea advertisements, really you need to just re-write the whole app, its much faster than trying to convert line by line, trying to convert a procedural program into a complex object oriented environment is one of those horrible ideas that makes one wonder just how much crack the managers are smoking this week.
This is typical, they don't even have any programmers participating in their study who don't work for microslop I bet. The thing with open source is that the holes get plugged, while with microslop, they just hope no one discovers them, and act reactivly to try to patch what they can, but some holes just never get patched. Look at how easy it is to spread viruses programming with simple visual basic scripts, I mean at one time a "terrorist" could even create a webpage that would reformat your hd for you. I think this is also an attempt to reclassify simple hackers as "terrorists".
The best book out there on what you'd call "patterns" is Bitter Java, cause it breaks down the hype around pattern based programming and shows how to use design patterns in the real world. Also there's Oreilly's "Java Patterns" and there's the original small talk based patterns book from '85. I like to program with php so I can forget about patterns, but as my own code got more and more complicated I found its still a useful resource to check out some concepts of design. Bitter Java is good because it takes patterns into the real world, and breaks down some of the myths around them that cause otherwise decent programmers to write slow, crappy code.
I got frustrated with the dumbness of the palm os, but I do use the handspring cell phone module and have found handsprings to be slightly better than the palm. Now that I use the zaurus as my main pda, I'd never go back though.
I use suse myself, but it is annoying to have to run a seperate script for low latency. The deal is that most linux distros are tuned for web serving, not multimedia playback, so it takes some heavy tweaking to get the system right, whereas with DeMudi you simply get debian that comes out of the box with all the audio and music software pre-compiled and also with the low latency settings precompiled into the kernel. Believe me, doing all this on your own, though it CAN be done, is a huge timewaster if you're a composer who wants to use linux, rather than a programmer who occassionally likes to compose. If you want to use linux for pro audio work, Demudi makes it easier (as long as you hardware is supported by debian.)
I've got two pdas, to me a mark of a real obsessive nerd, I've got the handspring platinum with the handspring phone module, and the sharp zaurus. I use the palm mostly as a phone and will probably replace with a little nokia, cause I'm totally addicted to zaurus, being able to run vi and shell scripts on a handheld, and also create png images is very addicting.
You really have to get out there and meet people. I only found my current job through making friends, I actually applied to the company once before, but my almost anonymous resume got lost in the pile. Right now there are more jobs than people, even for qualified people, that's true, I think its wrong to say "this just gets rid of the bottom feeders", its actually getting rid of lots of talented, capable people as well. Looking at teaching as another possibility could be another way for some, but with every budget being cut and with the rapid growth of globalism its likely we're seeing a huge set of people being " retired at 21", now that you can face federal crack house charges for throwing a party, going into music isn't as viable either. Soon the only jobs will be military, security, or police, and that's it, until they build robo cops and then its time to destroy us nasty humans who have to have sex to reproduce, and replace us with safe, clean robots that god will love better because they manufacture themseleves, instead of having to have dirty, nasty intercourse to reproduce. You'll never find a hidden porn collection on your robot work's pc!

I'd rather just play games on my zaurus or handspring, at least I won't get charged, as there's tons of freeware games around.
I got frustrated with the dumbness of the palm os, but I do use the handspring cell phone module and have found handsprings to be slightly better than the palm. Now that I use the zaurus as my main pda, I'd never go back though.
