The space vehical of Islam will be powered by fervour, an unquenchable thirst to ascend to the heavens to meet the one true god, a burning desire to worship the creator of all things and giver of truth. Truly the one true god will be pleased that his people have made the difficult and dangerous journry to meet and honour him/her/it and he/she/it will reward those who have chosen the straight path (OK arced trajectory guided by inertial navigation systems) with great rewards never bestowed unpon any other (choice of a copy of duke nukem forever or a machine capable of running doom 3 with decent fps)
"the data from black boxes, which are on about 40 million cars in the USA"
Yeah but we know how many car crazy Americans own several cars so that only makes about 127 people driving cars with recorders. Not a matter for public interest yet.
We are operating a LTSP server with (at this date) twelve concurrent users. We also have another four stand-alone workstations used at some of our other sites.
Without wishing to be overly critical 12 users does not constitute Enterprise level. Yes its nice to see a success story but do we really need to get a story on every KDE/GNOME deploment in the universe ? Can we maintain some perspective with the headlines please.
Hate to break it to you but manned space flight has already been pioneered.
A small private company would want to invest the billions necessary to go to Mars because ?? What possible financial gain gould they possibly realise within any realistic timeframe for a company's survival. Who would back them, who would insure them? Would they go and claim Mars for themselves if they got there in the best capitalist manner ?
Proper space exploration is better left to the big boys and international co operation for the time being. Hopefully they can learn something from the independent efforts in the meantime

Ah yes but unfortunatly the 'memories' of the rat constitute a mental image, or copy of its programming (copyrighted of course) and so its actually illegal for the rat to think.
In view of this the DMCA plan to force the rats to listen to Michael Jackson singing Ben repeatedly until they die of depression (The researchers will of course be required to pay royalties for each playing).
I dont think there is any issue with DVD recorders per se. Its recoders or recording software that circumvents copy protection mechanisms on copyrighted disks.
eh not really. The judge has already admitted
"I am substantially persuaded by them," she told both sides.
referring to previous decisions in favour of copyright holders in similar cases.
Yes but this is a book about enterprise programming so it needs to look big and important. Including all the API is a very convenient way of padding out a book, ignoring the fact that all this stuff is available via javadoc anyway.
The reviewer bemoans the fact that some of the samples are a bit lightweight. To take the servlet example he gives, at least they note its bad practice. The number of reference manuals I have seen that advocate opening JDBC connections direct from JSP pages is just shocking.
Enterprise development is a little bit like hard work. Its really not meant to be easy. I dont say that from an arrogant point of view. Its just that in general enterprise development is usually about encapsulating systems which are inherrently complex. If more complete samples with greater complexity were given I think many developers would quickly get bogged down. Just look at many of the questions asked on the SUN j2ee mailing lists to get a picture of what I mean. Its no harm to have something straightforward to get you started.
As a last note I think the reviewers comment about Dot Net was childish and out of context with the review. Some aspects of dot net are excellent and surpass their j2ee equivalent just as j2ee excells in other areas.
Christ are you trying to kill all our fun. Just look as the way we get to pontificate about they way things should be and how we would fight the system if it tried to screw us. Think how many people got to post recently that there was no way they would have settled out of court with the RIAA because they had a bullet proof case. Real slashdotters would have fought all the way to the supreme court and then taken to the hills with a a weapon and a few supplies as a last resort to continue the fight. Or so their posts would have us believe anyway.
This is Slashdot please stop trying to introduce reality. It wont work and you will only frighten the children.
Actually its not just a name. For many companies its a brand which they invest heavily in to create and promote. For many its not something they are going to let go lightly
Just makes the Mozilla group look like a bunch of morons if they cant even find a name for their product. This will go down a treat with CTO's considering switching away from IE.
The mozilla guys really need to start acting like grown ups here and get this sorted. Far from being a flagship open source product they are rapidly deteriorating into a farce

They wont. They will just use MS tools instead which privides them with an easy install and easy to use query builder tools
I think a lot of psychiatrists would be interested in getting contact details for the volunteers/future patients who get involved in this little bit of lunacy.

No one ever accuses me of cheating, probably cos I am so crap. Does camping count ? I'm really good at that.
Now I know that I am not a pervert for constantly googling for lesbian pr0n, I'm a member of a community of friends. I feel so loved.

How about all the telcos let us make free calls anywhere all day to celebrate it.

I am certain that on a number of higher priced cars (such as Porsches or BMW's) they record lots of little details
Unfortunately we will be able to verify this. All the geek owned flash motors have been repo'ed since the dotcom bust.

Yeah but what happens if you get a stupid rat ?
Some find a pied piper. Should cause absolute mayhem in the lab as all the robots take off out the door simultaneously.
Before they by pass recording altogether and just transmit directly to those crappy reality cop shows so we get to see the 'action' live as it happens
