I use Eclipse because it is free (in all senses), but I definitely would say IDEA is a better IDE.
Eclipse may catch up at some point, but so far even the 3.0 milestones aren't as good as IDEA. I'd explain why, but honestly, I think if you tried IDEA for a few weeks, you'd agree with me. I'd say IDEA is (currently) almost inarguably better.
Anyway, Eclipse has bigger goals than IDEA does, so it's understandable that it's taking them a while to surpass IDEA.
There may be other IDEs that are better than Eclipse, too, but those are the only two I've tried.
This article also fails to note that there are more than a couple very robust OpenSource implementations of J2EE application servers, that are of course free.
I was under the impression that the only open source J2EE app server is JBoss. Are there more?
I'd like to be able to use a non-standard kernel such as CONFIG_EMBEDDED or tinyLinux to get a smaller bzImage but I can't.
CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't non-standard! It's under "General Setup" in 'make menuconfig' (or whatever your favorite config option is).
By default it leaves all the standard options on, but you can read the help and see if there are any you don't need (do you really need all three IO schedulers for a device with no hard drive?).
Also, you can certainly turn on "Optimize for size". You're pretty close to getting on a floppy it looks like, so -Os might be all you need to shrink that extra 50K.
They put a light version to apease the record companies.
"They shun DRM, they said it wasn't viable, they're so great! Oh, they do use DRM everywhere, though, but I don't see how that disproves my earlier point."
When you're sucking Apple's dick, do you think they put something in the Apple jizz to turn people like you into unquestioning servants?
Did it ever occur to you that they might use DRM to lock people into Apple products (iTunes/iPod)? If that weren't they case, why aren't they sharing their DRM information so that other companies can create hardware players to play iTunes Music Store files? I'm not saying even open source it, but they won't license it to ANYONE. So not only do they use DRM, they use a proprietary form of DRM to lock people to their own products.
You're right, they're not a monopoly, but I would fear a world where Apple was. I personally think they'd be worse than Microsoft.
As a rule Apple shuns DRM (digital rights management).
And then in a later post even you admit that they do, in fact, use DRM. So you can't claim ignorance here.

I really don't know, this is not a troll, I didn't even know that there were POSIX man pages.
There are no POSIX man pages. But previously they weren't allowed to even quote the POSIX standard in their manpages. They had to rewrite it all and hope they didn't introduce any inaccuracies in their rewriting.
Now they can just quote the standard itself where they want to.

Warp was (and to some degree still is) THE pioneering label for experimental electronic music. Aphex Twin, who you might not have heard of, is definitely a major influence in a lot of music today. With the increasing use of synths in modern music, you can even hear Warp's influence in music that isn't strictly electronic.
I think it would be fair to say that Warp is the "Blue Note" of jazz music, but I admit that I don't know much at all about jazz, so that might be a dumb thing to say.
Warp records (and Brian Behlendorf, head of the Apache project!) are even responsible for the name of the genre on the label. It's called "IDM" which is short for "Intelligent Dance Music", a name that sounds incredibly stupid and pompous now, especially since much of the music categorized in that genre isn't danceable. But in a post to his new "idm" mailing list back in 1993, brian said he made up the name because of Warp's "Artificial Intelligence" compilations.
Anyway, Warp isn't a major label, but it's defintiely one of the huge, influential indies, so it's nothing to sneeze at.
Why can't you download MS1? Could you please let me know if you found a broken link somewhere?
Well, when I clicked on the download link and logged in, it would tell me I didn't have permission or some other weird error. I assumed this was because you had removed the file since it was so old (and there were big warnings at the top telling me not to downloading), but I guess it was some other problem.
That works on linux, developed in the helix community.
Boy, works on linux is the catch, isn't it?
The helixplayer open source project has a Milestone build, which you can no longer download, as it's pretty old. They have a nightly builds page, though.
I tried the latest Developer Release (DR5). First I tried playing some Real 10 Video. First I tried the Paycheck trailier. The command line client failed with an X error. The GUI client said (here it comes) "Buffering", then hung at different percentages, and crashed for all the other videos on that page. When I say hung, I don't mean stuck waiting for network; the GUI refused to update any further.
helixplay refused to play an mpeg (it didn't crash or anything... it just wouldn't do anything when you click "Play"). splay crashed on an mpeg. Both did play new codeced audio streams and mp3s, though. splay managed to play an older RealVideo stream (in this case NASA TV), but helixplay hung as usual.
Then I tried the latest nightly build (20040107). That one performed exactly the same.
There is another project that provides a plugin to realplayer 8 for playing real 10 content under linux, but finding those files is as hard as finding files on the real.com site. The "binaries" link takes me to a license agreement, but accepting that only led to an error page. Clicking binaries again, and agreeing again takes me to a blank page.
So, can you play Real 10 content in Linux? If you were trying really hard to be optimistic, you could say "not yet", I suppose.
Video scratching was pioneered by a U.S. multimedia crew called Emergency Broadcast Network in the late 1980s, and refined by Coldcut and Hex, a pair of U.K. collaborative multimedia producers and musicians.
Does anyone else remember EBN? They were sorta Negativland-ish music (later Negativland, that is... dispepsi-ish stuff that had a beat and wasn't as abstract as their earlier stuff) and had all these cool videos where they did video sampling.
Their live show was one of the coolest I've ever seen. They had three huge video screens behind the stage playing sampled video, and this this weird podium thing that had two arms... On the front of the arms were TVs with yet more sampled video, and then later in the show, they arms spun around and had lasers or something on the other side. This was a long time ago, so I don't remember exactly, but it was incredibly impressive. They had re-edited all this footage, so they had Connie Chung, Dan Rather, et al. saying "This is EBN Nightly News!" and stuff. They also had a real gun shooting blanks during "Shoot the Mac 10". I grabbed some of the bullets of the stage, and I think I still have them. Amazingly, they were just the opening act for Banco de Gaia, who I also like, but come on... Toby Marks (BdG) was just sitting at a mixing board. It didn't even compare.
You can find some of their videos around the net. We Will Rock You shows them re-working (elder) Bush speeches, similar to the Bushwhacked that's been floating around the net.
They also had this tricked out station wagon with a satellite dish and video monitors all up and down the roof. It looked pretty cool, though I only saw pictures, not the real thing.
Later I saw them in "concert" opening for someone else, and they just played a video. I don't even think there was anyone from EBN there. It was totally disappointing.
Coldcut and Hex are cool, too, but I've never seen a show like the EBN one since.
XFS is not incorrect. XFS is not an acronym, even if you want it to be. XFS is the name of the file system. You can not expand it out and talk about the "X File System", even if you wanted to, because that's not what it's called.
It's the filesystem named "XFS". Or, to put it another way, the XFS file system.
I got to watch it with about 600 other people at my local science museum (via satellite feed). They had 300 chairs in an auditorium, playing it on a huge screen. When that filled up, they quickly scampered to get it playing on the ceiling of the planetarium. When that filled up, they played the audio in the hallway for everyone left.
I admit it was pretty damn dry, but watching it with a few hundred other people helped fill in the dull moments. A hush over the entire room as we wait for word from the relay. Cheers when the word was recieved. Fun stuff.
The article correctly says half of a DS3 line. Whoever wrote this summary didn't read the article close enough:
"A 50,000 packet-per-second SYN flood yields approximately 20 Mbits/second of Internet traffic in each direction, comparable to half the capacity of a DS3 line (roughly 45 MBits/second)."
and in the case of the [victimless crimes], the only examples I can think of are sex crimes.
Drug-related crimes would fall into this category.
Though, of course, it could be argued that the user is the victim, I guess (as in anti-suicide laws). And drug use can lead to other crimes (e.g. drinking and driving, stealing to buy more of a substance that you are addicted to, etc.). But I imagine drug laws have more people locked up for victimless crimes than sex laws by far. (I'm guessing, not quoting facts here, though.)
Beaverton is a boring strip-mall suburb of Portland. It's about tied (with Hillsboro) for the second largest suburb with around 80,000 people (the largest is Gresham). It's home to Nike's world headquarters, Tektronix (remember them? They used to be Oregon's largest private employer... now it's Intel) and OSDL. OSDL is housed in the old Sequent campus, which then became an IBM building when IBM bought Sequent).
The beaver is Oregon's state animal, and is on the back of our flag, for some reason.
In Oregon, after a case where the cops went through a person's trash to get evidence (against one of their own officers, in fact), one of the local weeklies decided to do a little protest.
They went through the trash of the police chief, they mayor (who supported the right for cops to go through trash), and the district attorney. They then held meetings with each of these people, asking how they felt about this privacy violation. The police chief actually threw them out of his office. Then they reported on these meetings and printed a list of every item they found in the trash bins.
Needless to say, the "victims" were pissed. The mayor held a press conference, claiming she was going to sue Wilamette Week for, uhhm, well, she never said what exactly. She never did sue.
People think a monopoly is a company that has command of the market share, but in reality Microsoft is only as large as it is because it has produced a superior product.
The quality of their products isn't relevant! It doesn't matter how you got to a monopoly position; it only matters that you are there. Once you're a monopoly, you have immense power in the market, and that power needs to be reigned in somehow.
But, yeah, I think bitching about a 10-digit donation to our country's underfunded schools is pretty fucking crazy.
Jack Valenti is actually the head of the MPAA. They are in charge of suing you when you download movies or distribute open source software to play DVDs.

I use Eclipse because it is free (in all senses), but I definitely would say IDEA is a better IDE.
