    The Equation editor is simply a cut down version of a program called Math Type, which I use, and it exports in gif and eps formats, lets you colour bits in, and the expression formatting looks great.

    How many companies are publishing applications to run in webstart, or pure VM apps?? There is barely anything that I can take and run it on my iMac, my linux pc's and my windows's pc's seamlessly.

  5. Re:Migel please just go work for Microsoft on Miguel de Icaza on Longhorn · · Score: 1

    My only aim with the Java bash was that while WebStart is a great technology, how many people are implementing applications like this? One app, multiple end user platforms. I have no beef with the language, so I don't want to start a flame war :)

  6. Re:Migel please just go work for Microsoft on Miguel de Icaza on Longhorn · · Score: 1

    Seperating Mono from Microsoft would be missing the point. It's supposed to run Microsoft code. .NET is supposed to be a portable architecture, providing that a VM exists for your setup. And's that what Mono is doing. Making it 'better' would be pointless and irrelevant.

    I think you'll find that the standard software is that which is most widely used.

  8. Re:here is what i think on Miguel de Icaza on Longhorn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's not a clone, it's an evironment that allows portable code. That is one of the points of .NET; with a written VM, the code can run on anything. Like Java, except Microsoft isn't writing the VM's for other platforms, it's down to the users, hence Miguel.

    Or maybe Miguel is just open to the fact that Microsoft *is* the de facto standard, whether you like it or not, and is trying to make integration just that little bit easier?

    I'm all for Mono, software should be cross platform, and and it would be nice to see this succeed where Java unfortunately didn't.

    What he's suggesting is bollocks :) Schools don't need money to combat p2p, and you certainly don't need 'training'. While I'll admit that there are unskilled admins, they mostly ask the more knowledgable ones, and we're always willing to help. Students always try and get round the system. They're almost always caught. If we can't catch the student, we close the hole.

    no amount of goading or agreement-signing will change that

    Hopw about punishing people for things they didn't do? It works very quickly. Most will tell you who they've given their password to just at the threat of it. Students need to learn that when they hit industry, sharing credentials just isn't acceptable.

    Getting p2p software to work is much harder, even if the program allows you to use the proxy. I can honestly say I am confident we've never had a breach. But then, we are one of the few with knowlegable admins, and I mean no offence to my colleauges, as most will admit they are only doing the job because they were pushed into the role for knowing how a VCR worked.....hey, it's got electronics in it....

    By raiding school systems, they have no proof of who downloaded the copyright infringed files

    All users signed an agreement, and they have to log on first. Their every move is trackable. It's the same system we use here at this school.
