Not to mention hardware support (mic/camera). There are quite a few features in Flash that Silverlight has yet to catch up to. It'll be interesting to see what features they target for Silverlight 3.0.
First off, I think Silverlight is a better product, and I'd much rather use that as a development environment; and I'm now forced to use flex.
That being said, 3 points in the article are no longer true with Flash 10 (Text, scripting, tools). Though, the last one is subjective. I like vs.net way better than flexbuilder, but that is what I'm used to.
What about ruby.net using the DLR (Microsoft's Dynamic Language Runtime)? It was my understanding that the CLR was not well suited for dynamic languages as your post likely confirms. Hence, this is why they created the new runtime.
XNA does not include any networking for this release. So, you are limited to what's inside the box for now.
Secondly, everything would need to be ported to (what essentially is) the.net compact edition, which is a subset of the.net runtime. Not sure how that factors into the xbmc development for 360, but it is a limitation.
Just wanted to thank you for putting what I felt into such a concise statement. My wife is in such a situation, and I happily forwarded her your response. Thanks!
Hence, a warrant so that a judge can decide if the tap has merit. Your argument, like many preceding it, assumes that once they have the information there is any way of stopping them from doing anything with it. The floodgates are open at that point.. it's too late. The information is out in the open and can go anywhere.
The current (well.. now previous) US Laws are built around the fact that it should never get to that point.
This is, by now means, a linux solution (flame away), but there is a great article on MSDN about a webcam project. Includes motion detection, wired/wireless, and a few other hacks.

Film to X-rays?
·
· Score: 1
I had some x-rays I needed to send to a vet at Texas A&M. Rather than mailing them, I simply used my digital camera. The trick was the backlight. If you put a pure white screen (expand any picture making program) on your monitor, then place the xray in front. Luckily, I have a 24 inch crt (burning my eyes out at this moment) that has a bit of lip around the tube. The xrays would slip into the lip, and hold the xray in place. Then I put the camera on a stable surface.. and viola... perfect digital copies.
The verdict? The xrays by my local vet were horrible, and I had to get them redone. Saved me quite a bit of cash.
yes... great win32 support. From the package: "Compiling Dia (Win32) --------------------- Currently only the Micro$oft VC 5.0 compiler is supported (VC 6.0 should work). -1) Create your build environment (normally based on tml's latest Gtk+

to join the gimpwin-dev mailing list (see: http://www.iki.fi/tml/gimp/win32/) -0) Get additonal required libraries (libxml, gdk-pixbuf, libart,...).
I'm planning to integrate my small patches to cvs, too. But this may take
some while, because they need to be conform with Gnome maintenance. 1) Get the latest Dia sources from cvs. 2) nmake -f makefile.msc in directories lib, app, objects, plug-ins 3) If the build succeeded, fine. If not, fix the sources and send me patches
or use the binaries. Please don't bother me with beginners questions about
C, VC, makefiles, etc.. Because I'm doing the port in my free time, which
is generally limited.
Instead of answering beginners questions, you probably want me to use my
spare time, to build the latest, greatest Dia version. 4) Copy the files to their directories (see binary package)
According to the Seattle Wireless group, it's quite easy to set up zeroconf.

Have you looked at the compact framework? Your application would be quite easy with a.Net PDA and modem combo. It's amazing how fast you can put something together, even if you just want to prototype something.
It would be an interesting project to try and get the application to use a (compact flash) modem such that the end-user just plugs it in. It's probably possible to automate the modem connection with the PocketPC SDK (then wrapped with com interop).
Anyway, neat project. If you need any help, let me know!
I live in Austin, TX. Summers here are particularly hot.
I bought a dlink 714p (3 ethernet, 1 printer.. this was before they introduced "plus") a year and half ago, with plans of putting it in the attic so that my neighbor and I could share dsl. After a fairly mild (by Texas standards), everything still works like a charm. It is regularly over 130 (fahrenheit) up there.. BYVMV
You should be able to pick one of these up under $60 now.
They just release a fix so that mapquest comes in very well now. You can actually read names of roads (at least on yahoo maps, which I believe is just mapquest rebranded). It is quite useful on the road.
Unfortunately, the drivers for most of the WIFI cards are not good enough to do anything besides 11 mb/s. This of course means that only the shortest range is available. Nonetheless, once some of the drivers mature (and some of the wifi manufacturers get off their cans and give the driver writers assistance) the software is definitely available.

crashplan. Google it. My very non-techie father even gets it.
Do you have any case numbers? My father is a lawyer, and he's adamant that this isn't the case in Texas.

I never said 'do without.' You inferred that.
It's called oversight. That's what warrants are for. Warrants assure us that the information is only accessed if there is merit.
Unreasonable -> without reason -> without merit

I've seen the "view-anywhere" screens on the motion computing tablets, and it's quite impressive. If you ever have a chance to play with one, definitely check it out. http://www.motioncomputing.com/products/promotions _view_anywhere.asp#vad

Do you have a link to the API?
I required yahoo messnger at my company because it was the only client that would connect through port 80, effectively circumventing our firewalls.
To use, go to preferences->Connection->Firewall with no proxies.
Hey T-Mobile, good luck stopping that.
