I wouldnt expect them to come to an agreement. Apple is very much like a auto company. They suck up all the profits, that is why you never see name brand products in them.
So if apple came out with a pda, they would want the rights to extend it into the future. Why should PalmOS help Apple to get on its feet so Apple can compete with PalmOS? Apple's history shows they like to keep any developments in house. Even if they do not start that way.
No, its not trying to change it, its trying to take advantage of it. Akin to the traditional Republican technique for gathering Southern White votes in America. Appeal to racism.
And how do you think this would rub those that do not have the same shortcomming? Such as women? or non-chauvanistic men?
dude, calculators perform very simple mathematics. One has to understand the math to even use the thing.
as for a palm pilot, its far superior to your silly pen and paper. i could give you a long list of valuable usages, but if all u need is pen and paper, i fear your responsibilities are low, or your available time is high anyway.
This is akin to the "design webpages in notepad" philosophy.
Once we agree on an email header signing format, the rest is simple.
AOL has expressed an interest in signing email from their servers. So that easily allows me to accept email signed by my buddies, or email signed by AOLs server. That opens the door to lots of people in 1 shot. This helps due to the AOL cluless user factor.
I find that most computer related degrees are "chasers." They mix well with other skills. They allow you to computerize something such as a medical thing, or an automotive thing, as you make a tool. Afterall, computers are only tools. What good is a tool without a purpose?
Well at least thats the way on the software side. I got my MSCE (oh yea, thats Masters of Science in Computer Engineering...) while working for an automotive Company. I have not changed fields and am probably not making nearly as much as I could. But I fear for job stability so I hang around.
Besides, we are adding more and more electronics to cars plus they are several automotive network technologies such as LIN, CAN, J1850, CCD, etc. Automotive field is not too bad a place for a CE.
Notwithstanding, our managers are also smoking The India Pipe(TM).
They don't. But such is the way of the sleeping executive.
I recall S3 buying Diamond Multimedia. Immediately preceeding the downfall of the combined company (blue something or another.) Why? Because S3 was going down anyway, and it was in my opinion an attempt for S3 executives to switch places with a more successful company. Didn't work. Alas, Diamond *was* the bomb.
I also remember that graphics company that bought 3dfx or vice versa (STB?). Can't remember the name, but IMHO it was the same situation. Attempt by executives to BUY success instead of engineer it.
That is a rather pathetic document. It reads like a sales pitch.
This code BAD. this code GOOD, see!! You want this code for sure!
Come on. If its valuable just show the merits. Instead it looks like one of those make over commercials where the "before" photo has the person without their hair combed, no makeup, and their face all sad...
Yes but I have been concerned about the implications of this. Compile time checking is fine, but its one time. What if the class file is swapped?
Will all accessing classes just assume the type is correct because they believe if its compiled, it must by properly typed? Or are these types forbidden to be used on public interfaces?
In otherwords, I believe the calling method is passing type X. If its not a type X then the compiler will fail. But what of runtime now that the cast and subsequent type check is removed? What happens when I pass Y into it because I have a newer or older version of the class?
Why is that? I found the latest nforce drivers nvnet to be totally hosed anyway. not because of the kernel AFAIK. I fell back on nvnet 1 release, and all is well.
If Yahoo and MS start charging for emails they will immediately loost the title of being the largest. Heck probably 90% of their addresses are just fill mailboxes anyway.
I can't see why they would even consider such a thing knowing the internet is too strong to give in. People dont even want to pay for what already costs money, why would they pay for what is currently free?
1. its HARD to find the free player. They keep saying "free player here" but then nothing be for sale ones show up, then you find the little link hidden in the corner somewhere.
2. they want email for download. I know you can enter a fake one. But I get tired of it all.
3. They will install loads of *extra* garbage that MS wont. (Or MS is much better and covert-ops)
4. It will take you weeks to learn all the tons of things you need to turn off to keep that thing from harrassing you.
5. if you don't register, it keeps asking you each time you try to play a file. You get choice OK-Cancel (among other issues) which implies either register, or don't play. Quicken does the same horrible thing with their update feature...
I used to like realplayer better than MS. But if they are going to be equally as corrupt, I'll stick with MS since I already have it:D Real player was always better on the mp3s though.
Cache is not just faster memory. Just as there are things that might as well be on the hard drive and not in memory, there are things that do not need to be cached.
cache captures instructions, and sometimes data too, not programs. Its not meant for large routines.
i disagree. eclipse has great java development support. but it does "ship" behind in the internet type java stuff as you mentioned.
but also netbeans is not so great. they mostly use external plugins. I found netbeans to be not enjoyable. Its hard to develop for because of so many internal bugs and the architecture needs to be reworked.
I used it for maybe a year and switched over to eclipse. Netbeans did work. But it was buggy.
I feel that eclipse and netbeans are in direct competition. Its just that eclipse is less developed in features, and more developed in architecture and reliability. Eclipse is about to blow by netbeans over the next year.

Sun and Eclipse Squabble
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
NetBeans (SunStudio) sucks completely, and developers feel more satisfaction making the move to Eclipse. (such as I did)
Eclipse is light years ahead of NetBeans, and gaining developers everyday.
Eclipse has NEVER crashed on me, not once in about a year. nor have I found any bugs. not a one.
Also note that IBM/Eclipse has SWT. SWT is a set of graphical tools that allow you to code once, but run on any OS and look/feel/run "native" to that OS. This sort of replaces AWT/Swing but it ties you to SWT.
Furthermore, there is not Eclipse/RCP or Rich Client Platform. This allows you to use eclipse as your underlying application architecture (sort of like MFC), and end users can't even tell.
There's also "eclipse.exe" and not eclipse.jar.
Sun's problem is that IBM is doing to Java what Sun initially sought to do to Java. IBM is going to steal Java away from Sun within 5 years.
I should mention that whining wont change anything Sun...
Recall that we in the know (nerds) were using ICQ long before AOL or MSN ever realized what "IM" was. Thus, we dont need some "big player" to enter the market. If we adopt one, and somehow their is website adoption such as the several ICQ web tools, then XMPP will grow and the corporate greed will follow.
Wasn't it just a few years ago some cleaning product advertised "Just use and throw away." And got roasted over the poor attitude concerning the environment?
The "use and throw away" campaign is flawed. I don't think people want the so called convenience of disposeability. They just want convenience.
Its totally opposite the way of most major industries today. Which is only that way because of the pressure of customers.

AFAIK, a patent lasts 7 years.
Ahhh, Samba!

How the 8-track? It starts playing when the tapes are inserted.
Didn't SCSI have the cd-inserted data signal long ago? What was SCSI doing with it? or does MAC use SCSI?

Then how much when you go to the Palm site and try to upgrade? Last I checked it was very much too expensive for me. Windoes is not much more...

What do you mean it does not compile??? Of course it compiles. What are you talking about? Did you mis-type?
Since when did you DEFINE that the arrayList could only contain integers??? I see no such constraint.
Yes but I have been concerned about the implications of this. Compile time checking is fine, but its one time. What if the class file is swapped?
Will all accessing classes just assume the type is correct because they believe if its compiled, it must by properly typed? Or are these types forbidden to be used on public interfaces?

Why is that? I found the latest nforce drivers nvnet to be totally hosed anyway. not because of the kernel AFAIK. I fell back on nvnet 1 release, and all is well.
I had this issue when I tried to use RAID. Also on a drive that was dying.
Perhaps you are running something like folding@home?
I don't know, even that does not hit the drive much. I would to a full check on the drive.
It does not even sound like he cracked into anything. He just downloaded some files where as normally he shouldn't be able too.
In otherwords, he cracked out not in.
And the lab being compromised??? Puhleeze. I guess they need more funding. (or in the spirit of "No Child Left Behind"...less)
If Yahoo and MS start charging for emails they will immediately loost the title of being the largest. Heck probably 90% of their addresses are just fill mailboxes anyway.
I can't see why they would even consider such a thing knowing the internet is too strong to give in. People dont even want to pay for what already costs money, why would they pay for what is currently free?
I would not currently pay to end my spam problem.
I think though that real has lots of issue.
:D Real player was always better on the mp3s though.
1. its HARD to find the free player. They keep saying "free player here" but then nothing be for sale ones show up, then you find the little link hidden in the corner somewhere.

I have a swap file. It's almost 1GB. The OS just doesn't use it.
Which was exactly his point. If it were you'd see an improvement.

Should have also mentioned that these were Video drivers as the most important drivers for me are nforce.
