But the RFID tags could be programmed for other short-range tasks, like "talking" to a forthcoming Whirlpool washing machine to alert it to proper washing instructions, Zwibel said.
So I guess they have your washing machine scenario covered.
If I'm selling a CD that has free software source code I haven't written and I claim that I've written all the source, isn't that like selling oranges when I'm saying I'm selling apples?
No, it's more like selling Moby Dick and scratching out Herman Melville's name and writting yours underneath.
1. Buy Software at Wal-mart 2. Install software.. it sucks 3. Take back to wal-mart. Get a trade for the same software in new unopened package 4. Go to different wal-mart and get refund
Hence their coming out with a Microsoft VM which is, on purpose, incompatible with the Sun VM.
This is simply not true. The MS VM ran 100% Java Compliant code just fine. The thing MS did as add extensions that were specific to its VM. The Visual J++ tool defaulted to using this extensions. Developers who weren't cafeful could end up writting software that would only run on Windows.
But to say that software that was written in pure Java might not work on MS VM is a fallacy.
Open Source IDE
You can use CVS for.NET development and you can use any database also.
The only point you have is the middle tier, and with mono and dotGNU, becoming more complete, this point crumbles away also.
>>does you REALLY need win2k ????
I'm sure the proprietary software they are using only runs on Windows and it's a lot cheaper to stay on Windows and this software which they have already paid for than to switch to Solaris.
JBoss is supported by the JBoss Group. They offer support contracts that provide phone and e-mail support. They also have consultants that can lend a hand in an enterprise deployment.

I use Netbeans 3.3.2 on Windows 2000 for all my Java needs and this annoyance with the cursor disappearing happens with it too. If I minimize Netbeans and bring it back up it sometimes doesn't have the cursor of if I ALT+TAB to another full screen app and come back the same happens. I Have to ALT-TAB a few times or close the editor window and reopen to get it back. On the rare occasion I have to kill Netbeans completely.
One again, he is not working with computers at all, just recounting his experiences from 7+ years ago. And the crimes he committed then have a 5 year statute of limitations.
How so? What site besides java.sun.com uses applets? Besides, if you don't have a JVM, which only new installs of XP don't (all upgrades to XP still have the JVM), you are prompted to install it. The download isn't that big even for dial-up. And you could always install Sun's JVM which is up to date. MS is stuck using 1.1.8. Java is on 1.4 now.
So how is this a feature that users want? I hate applets and ActiveX controls a like.
Users read stories on CNet about how the JVM is not included and they freak out not knowing that there is a 99% chance they won't be affected at all.

Why would they par for the licenses next year? You don't have to buy a new license for Win2K every year.

Actually, the rule is usually the more you make, the more stupid you are.

If you're re-installing every few weeks then you obviously don't know what you're doing.
What is even more astonishing is that it got a Score 2 Interesting.
