Hopefully we didn't lose to many developers in the meantime.
Oh yeah, most definitely... I mean seriously, this whole platform independence thing... and all those other great things about Java... weak! C# has autoboxing! Woo! I'm jumping ship! Yeah baby!
This is a fine alternative... but cumbersome, and indeed once you add the toString() methods and other such niceties, it's approaching messy. The fact that a single statement now can offer all of these features is outstanding.
It's nice to see Java stealing something from C# for once;)
Actually, with JDE mode XEmacs makes a very fine IDE... it even offers interactive debugging, though less advanced than the capabilities offered by the commercial IDEs.
I use XEmacs for all of my Java development, mainly because the Java IDEs are typically written in Java, and thus terribly slow, even on powerful hardware.
XEmacs is fast, extensible, free, and... well, it's Emacs, damnit!
If your content is non-personal, you may consider outsourcing. Companies like Vidipax (link withheld to avoid spam accusations) offer such services which would save you some time.
My company did some of the encoding for this -- the labels themselves were each responsible for delivering the digitized content to Apple (could also explain the sound variation mentioned in the article). Different labels will take different routes, but most will outsource this portion. Our company specializes in such digital media encoding. Amazon.com and company deal with the same issues, just for samples of songs instead of full songs.
You can do it without modifying it, but you need a memory card to store the code that executes the exploit. Also, the memory card trick works ONLY for running Linux, not other games or Xboxmediaplayer:(
I think that in all fairness, they should have gone first to the company that created the product with the flaw. Perhaps they did, and were ignored. But I didn't see any evidence of this in the posted materials. Companies make mistakes, people kind enough to find these mistakes should also be responsible enough to go to the company first and present them with the opportunity to fix it.
I read the first edition of this book completely. There are some good tips for extracting a few percentage points of improved performance. However, nothing has as profound an impact as simply using a better VM... for example, many of my applications saw 25%+ speed increases simply by switching from the 1.2.x series VM to the 1.3.x series VM.
Java does a pretty could job as a language of encouraging best practices, i.e. the inclusion of a standard StringBuffer. Extreme optimization at the code level will always be limited given the high abstraction of the language. However, extreme optimization at the VM level is a very real thing, and it doesn't take a whole lot of effort for the Java programmer.
checking for a BSD-compatible install.../usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for kernel32.dll... missing ERROR: kernel32.dll not found, cannot install E1.0
Then again, people still buy new models of cars which have had huge saftey problems in the past, even though other choices are availble; perhaps the
real phenomenon is that marketing is sometimes more powerful than good judgement.
Some people, myself included, buy cars based on more than just the safety numbers. And some people can't afford a safe car, quite frankly... it's hard find a car with an airbag for a couple grand, as I found out in high school.
StrokeIt is a wonderful little program... it does mouse gestures better than any application specific implementation that I've seen. The beauty of their approach is that it is done at the OS level, so the gestures are the same for all applications. ALL windows have certain mouse gestures like close, minimize, and restore. There are also global gestures for copy / paste. Simple browser navigation like back / forward work in all browsers.
If only there were an equivalent tool for Linux. Galeon's mouse gestures are terribly implemented in comparison.
Their 'competitor', NFOrce is seemingly still alive and kicking. I suppose the difference is in their strategy for collecting funds. As a note, both removed serial numbers from all posted NFO files.
Come on guys! Let's look at this from their perspective. They run a business which is threatened by this list, and they stand to lose a lot of money if everybody joins this list.
I mean, they're just trying to make lots and lots of money by calling people and annoying the hell out of them during their dinner, without ever being invited to do so.
Hmmm. Yeah, OK -- on second thought, screw 'em.
Noticed this while digging around the links. Doubtful that any sensible person would give their SSN over the phone to a stranger... but people do continue to watch the Anna Nicole Smith show, so who knows?

Why don't we ask Google about Linux TCO ... ;)

And sadly, the former is more stimulating to the average Slashdotter.
one number for life... the ultimate!

It's only the ultimate if you get a cool number

Sweet -- looks like I missed that article ... thanks for the link :)

Two fundamental technologies that have held up remarkably well despite the incredible growth of the Internet. Ah, the joy of standards.
This means war! Oh wait ...

We have enough issues with hacking when the kiddies need to exploit buffer overruns to gain shell access ... this is going to make life even more fun :P
