    They have to have it explained in costs.

    You have to defend why the use of the existing Perl code, is cheaper to maintain, then rewriting everything in the new language of the month.

    Maybe a USB dongle is the right approach.

    Pay your monthly fee to your ISP they supply you with said dongle.
    Fail to pay they disable it.

    In that same token what about Grandma and Grandpa Internet, that doesn't download any music at all. Under the blanket of an ISP imposed fee, would they not be paying for something that they don't want, need, or use.

    With all the crap Java written on websites today, do you really want to set this standard loose on a project like this?

  14. I'm interested on An Intro To OpenSim, the Apache of Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

    in seeing this come to the inevitable Open Source Server code from Linden. Though I mentioned "inevitable", it was hoped this would happen when they released the viewer source.

    My opinion is Open Source and complete interoperability between the SL Grid and OpenSim Grids will never happen. Just look at the number of viewers that were coded to grab peoples credentials, then multiply that by a malicious server admin.

    Taking into account the amount of real world revenue the game generates, I don't foresee this ever happening.

    I do however see the opportunity, depending on the build UI and capabilities of OpenSim, the possiblity of "Pay-per-play" grids for SL Builders. An environment where they could test their scripts, and builds alone from griefers or the worries of crashing their sim.

    Brilliant now that 1 time I tossed a frag grenade into my teams bunker to kill an enemy, but ended up fragging 7 of my teammates will haunt me till the day I die.

    This will have an effect on all other local cable co's.
    It doesn't make sense about set top boxes.
    You can buy one, but they are not fully legal, because it may be a hot box.
    Yet they offer you the option to purchase your cable modem from them.

  24. Re:But how does it help non programmers and PHB wh on Open Source Helps New IT Grads Get Foot in the Door · · Score: 1

    True, but I think once I got into Linux and got past the OMFG this is too much. I came to realize that it wasn't too difficult to actually read a README, or an INSTALL doc, and there are tons of places to find actual help from people that don't give you the whole "I'm more 1337 than you". Plenty of times I've needed help to figure out why something was broken, and every time someone in the Linux community rose to the task and rendered assistance.
    The best thing I have come away with using Linux is a better understanding of how programs I run interdepend on each other, like you stated about PHP and Apache before MySQL.
    My fave was making my home box a game router using IPTABLES.

    Yeah because
