So why should I feed my "in utero" children fat rat brain food? Plenty fat rat brained humans around as it is. Pathetic. What you should be worried about is if your kid has 10 fingers and 10 toes. "super baby" psychosis is rampant. Poor shumuck parents who never achieved anything wat to grow a super baby for bragging rights. Good way to spawn a miserable child. The other kids want to make sand castles and your kid wants to talk quantum mechanics
First see the New York times: "Elsinore Journal; Something Cheap in the State of Denmark: Liquor"
Second: FREE GREENLAND! Stop Danish imperialism! Support Greenland workers who labor under sweatshop conditions making sealskin garments for rich New Yorkers! Stop the baby seal clubbers! Denmark out!
O'Reilly "Programming Web Services with XML-RPC" is a pretty good starter. It has php, python, perl chapters in addition to Java.
I know in some eyes XML-RPC is looked at the idiot cousin of SOAP but it works and in my opinion is a lot easier. (I believe Redhat uses it as part of their "up2date" software updating facility). Particularly nice is being able to write the XML-RPC server in Python (or any of the other supported languages) while accessing it via a php client (though you can do the XML-RPC server in php too).
Also - Wrox's Professional PHP4 XML (misleading name somewhat) has extensive chapters and examples of using XML-RPC with PHP. And code is available via their web site too (as is the above O'Reily book)
If the "XML" part of "XML-RPC" fills you with trepidation you should know that you the XML is really all under the covers and there is no need to create dtd's, etc.
A good place to get the started with XML-RPC first visit www.xml-rpc.com.
What a surprise...a standard slashdot rude reply.....
I have done google, download and install from the sites you list. I have yet to get it working. Have you? Or are you just good at using google?
So there (wow).
Sorry I am not rude enough in my reply but I am a new user.
I have a HP PSC 750 (scanner printer copier) and have not yet found a way to access it from Linux. I am sure there are a lot of people in the same boat. Maybe this will get the fire going to get HP to support its output devices on Linux.
The client is ignorant, but he is paying you good money to treat his ignorance as wisdom. If he wants Microsoft he has to be right because he is paying you for it. But it is unethical to have the client persist in the delusion. Are you willing to be unethical for cash? His "requirements" are evidence of the "dream state" he lives in - Plato's cave dwellers. Actually this guy is living in the cave too...
The problem is capitalism and its current crisis of abundance. People don't get paid unless they work. The essentials people really need can be produced with a fraction of the work force - maybe 20%. The rest build or service extravagant trickets. Non-renewable resources are wasted to provide diversions so that people can be employed so that they can buy mostly trinkets. Meanwhile people starve because they are in the third world and not participants in the trinket economy. No stopping it. This all has a momentum of its own like a hurricane. Enjoy your video games and slashdot while you still have electricity.
It doesn't matter that americans aren't going into CS. There will be no shortage when the economy ramps up (if it ever does) because the off-shore shops will take up the slack.
In this upside down world software that does not break is doomed, and the only products that have a real future are those that include significant flaws.
Revenue is obtained by convincing the purchasing public that new versions of software fix all the problems. Such a fantasy....
New versions, new problems, never versions to fix the new problems, billions for Bill....!!!
He is truly an idiot. The move towards Intel is the move towards commodity pricing. No future there for Apple....or Sun for that matter.
Apple should merge with Sun and Sparc. Sun would rise to the occasion and produce a cheap Sparc chip to power Mac's.
It's the only hope for Sun and maybe the only hope for Apple. Despite Apple's client side glitz their server story is weak in the extreme. But the two companies' synergies are enormous.
Apple would add immense value to Sun since they understand the client side so well and Sun has repeatedly demonstrated it is clueless in this regard. Sun would add immense value to Apple since Sun's whole business is the server. Neither Sun nor Apple have a future without proprietary hardware, because you can't download hardware. but you certainly can download software...
What do you have against manual labor? I am a programmer (for 18 years) but previously worked in various factories and have to say that if I could get paid the same as I do now and do factory work it would be no contest. I would take it in a second.
The myth is that computer vendors really care about support. You don't care how bad support is till after you buy the computer and something stops working. Support is no motivation to buy the computer - features are. Show me one person who starts their computer purchasing survey with the question "who has the best support?" Vendors know this and know then that they do not compete on support. So the lower the cost of support the better - just so you can say there is support. No one has good support really - so what difference does it make where the bad support is provided from. Can't understand the language - no problem. It is support right - we gave you support at 3:00 AM so what are you complaining about? And soon there will be computer generated support, text to speech synthesized support. You thin talking to a foreigner is bad, wait until you have to talk to an answering machine tied to an "expert system". Press 1 for yes, 2 for no. So "india" and "phillipines" is just a temporary phenomena. And We will all be out of work when the machines start talking to each other.
Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico the only states remaining that allow legalized cockfighting. Who says Okies have no culture. Why not televised cockfighting in space to raise money for the Okie space program. Yeah! Go Sooners!

I am surprised. This is obviously not a basement but some warehouse or junk shop. Get after this guy. Pictures are from some bankruptcy proceeding documentation. A Dead dot-com likely. We deserve better than tripe like this...(and we deserve better tripe than this...).
Live performance is he only thing that should be charged for. Things like live Music concerts, live stage plays, poetry readings, book readings, personal appearances, question and answer sessions....evrything else should be free and freely copyable.
