    There are "real" ultras's out there, thumbing through a catalog I have of gray market sun stuff, $300 2 CPU ultra 2's are floating around, the memory kits are expensive as hell for them though.

  3. Re:I want to write docs on It's the Documentation, Stupid! · · Score: 1

    Mozilla and OpenOffice are always seeking documentation help and seeing as these two products are the windows worlds's first glimpses of open source, they need all the help they can get.

    GIMP could also use some documentation help to bridge the gap for Photoshop and PSP users.

    a) Membrane damage in the field is likely.
    b) There is a potental for cross contamination if one soldier of the unit has a UTI, considering proper hygine is not going to be possible under field conditions, especially if water conservation is at the point that you are having to use urine for food rehydration.

    I am not a programmer by trade, just a quick (java|perl)script implementation of handling constructing an app bar for a cross-platform .Net app

  7. Re:The elephant in the room on Ars Technica Tours Mono · · Score: 1

    IIRC, some of the early JVM's had serious issues with apps "breaking out of the sandbox", and we all know about ActiveX's swiss cheese security model, what makes people think that .Net isn't going to go through the same teething process that java has.

  8. Re:The elephant in the room on Ars Technica Tours Mono · · Score: 1

    Pardon my ignorance here, but wouldn't that allow an untrusted C# app (like a java applet/activeX control in a browser today) to do some fairly nasty things to a users machine.

    Actually thats what a lot of the dot commers were doing (and got in trouble with the SEC for it). Microsoft held back signifigant portions of their Windows 2000/Office 2000 era earnings in a "cookie jar" that was supposed to level out revenue after the dot com bubble burst. Not every .com was part of a pump-and-dump scam, some had intentions of riding out the crash.

  12. Re:Am I the only one... on PHP 5 Released; PHP Compiler, Too · · Score: 1

    Are you comfortable about using apache or mozilla? There are corporate influences (and corporate only features) in a lot of F/OSS projects. Covalent is the employer for a large part of the Apache core team and sells customized apache builds, Mozilla gets hacked by a NS/AOL team to produce the Netscape 7 series of browsers with added features that do not get ported back to the Moz trunk.

    Its nothing but the old GPL vs BSD license flamewars, I'm not about to rehash them here.
