The article does not really say. I dont think having a Google search on the desktop means the end of Office. The masses are not ready to commit everything to web based applications just yet. For the forseeable future Google and MS are not (in my opinion anyway) going to be direct competitors on the desktop, unless Google decide to bring out their own Linux distro, or write an OS from scratch. Searching the desktop is just low hanging fruit for Google. Their own distro would still require several years to gain acceptance to the level where they become even a remote threat to MS.
Even if they were moving in this direction surely a Google web based desktop/app suite poses a far greater threat to Linux then the massively entrenched MS. Its the small players who get killed first in these battles.
Some muppet posts a blog and immediately hundreds of millions of dollars investment and countless man hours of work on a mature, strongly adopted platform become irrevelevant. This is pure flamebait.
The only thing this indicates to me is that Grid/LAMP is going to struggle to gain acceptance in the enterprise because it proponents are idiots.
Be cool, trendy and enviromentally friendly like students want to be and get these leds at the price of a weeks drinking money per bulb and also the loss the main heat source in their house.
What makes the way people with alternative body images use firfox different from the way the rest of us use it? Or are you tring to say I'm fat because I have 5 firefox installs?
Now that someone may be able to verify if we were all obeying the rules we were supposed to while driving. How come no one complained when the speed limits were put in place? How come no one rejects car rental policies when they read them, opting for the bus instead of their draconian conditions?
How dare they monitor the speeds we drive, or where we go, in fact how dare they do it now with police and speed cams. This is a total outrage. I am so outraged I cant even be arsed to write the rest of this post because I must devote all my brain power to the massive invasion of my privacy thats happening at every level in Slashworld.
No software commercial or otherwise would ever get released if the developer was to wait for a zero bug count. Even if they did release something someone would manage to break it. Thats the way of the world.
Sounds like one of those ideas that are theoretically possible but utterly impractical to implement.
Yes the elevator could be built. What exactly are we so desperate for we can only get from the moon? Oh thats right, nothing, at least nothing that makes the expense of this endeavour currently worthwhile. The cable may be inexpensive but who wants to pay to put the lunar base in place and get the heavy mining equipment up there, cos that aint gonna be cheap. Also it conveniently fails to explain how we actually get material back to Earth from the L1 point. Maybe it is to be pushed into a decaying orbit by the climbing robots and we take our chances?
I would imagine they have contingencies for this as they are the obvious questions people would ask.
I would be more interested in how the system handles busy junctions since the tracks must join and intersect. Also its a one way system so trips could be quite convolted and time consuming.
Actually as part of your licensing arrangement it does, but only after destroying all your existing dvds. This will allow the consumer to savour the full enjoyment of Blu-ray with brand new discs and the content providers with a glorious opportunity to fleece you again. Its a win-win situation.
How could we/.ers help get more real science into fiction
Well for a start you gan get a dictionary and look up the work fiction. Then ask an adult to explain the difference between fiction and reality to you.
Any plans to make a sci/drama about evolution?
Yeah, make it a trillogy like LOTR
Fellowship of the Amino Acids
The Two Amoebas
Return of the Protoplasm
3+ hours of each of those would be gripping cinema. Ans just think of all the arguements it would kick off.
How about a real life of Darwin?
Thats actually a good idea, he was quite an interesting chap although there is still some small debate as to the initial concepts of his most famous theory. Unfortunately though when it comes to creationsists you are trying to discuss facts with people who are idelogues and hold firm beliefs without any examinable foundation.
Seriously what is the point in monster photograph that only a handful of people will ever see in its 7.5 GB fullness. This is nothing more than a crappy PR stunt and Slashot is rapidly turning into advertising central.

How Tomcat Works
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Well since you are doing it for a client do you not have a duty to at least do some research before attempting to install it?
You say its poorly implemented but yet say you dont know how its works or much about Java. How can you possibly judge the quality of implementation?
Tomcat is a mature and established technology. There are a plethora of 'getting started with tomcat', 'setting up tomcat' and 'integrating tomcat with your favourite ide' articles available on the web, before even consulting Amazon.
It is a doddle to install, setting up a site on it takes a bit more time. As with almost all software the documentation could be better but its not like there is not other info available.

How Tomcat Works

· Score: 1
I think one of the great things about Tomcat (and the specs behind it) was it brought web development and some new development concepts to the Java masses and also to MS. I started using it back in 99 and while it could be a pain to configure and integrate, servlets were a joy after the grief of ASP. MS has taken on some of these lessons and I have to say ASP.NET is some funky stuff. The combination of Tomcat 5 and the next struts version should make an interesting competitor though.

On one side amoral advertisers who will stoop to any measure to get their 'message' across. On the other possibly the greediest most conniving industry in the world. Lets hope they do some serious damage to each other.
There are dreamtime stories about Atlantis but in keeping with Australian naming conventions they call it Kookanuggiebiddlybong and because Australians get everything upside down its tells the story of a city rising from the depths and making a sea disappear.

I recommend a pencil and paper. One caveat is to always use a single sheet of paper instead of a pad though so spies cant find out what you wrote by rubbing graphite over the pad. Also tell the recipient to eat the page after they have read it.
