If more people put up articles like this to make it easier to use the popular open source software products it'd speed up rate of adoption a lot. If there was one on writing kernel modules...;-)
A lot of business is based on the the understanding that not all users will make use of all the services provided all the time. But if its freely available you would find yourself downloading music too, once in a while. Most important thing is that the average cost is reduced because of the scale.
High security can always be layered on top of the 'unreliable' internet as it is; the problem is that the stock software has so many easily exploited loopholes (trojans? keyword capture? windows exploits?) that it would introduce messy, situations, which would not help the current government's bid for the next elections (better safe than sorry?)
When I first learnt Java, I was so excited about the write once read anywhere functionality but many language features (or the lack thereof?) simply bugged me. Then I discovered C# and was happy to have found a usable Java - until I saw the probs Mono is facing porting.NET, particularly System.Windows.Forms, to Unix... and the fact that they would always have toplay catch up, with no big company to support them (IBM, Sun and other Linux/Open source backers already have a huge stake in Java)
When I read about the proposed features for Java 1.5, I knew i could stick with Java for the long term. Good news!
At several times in my career I would have simply gone with Qt but for the price and my unwillingness to be forced into releasing my code for free (freedomn is important even for developers). I mailed them and they won't even allow you to develop with the free edition and deploy with the commercial edition. Good luck to Troltech, their bottom line probably matters most.
Is it just me, or does this strike anyone else as a bad idea? I'm a web designer and have used Java for popup menus and rollovers and the like, and although it's good for that stuff it can sometimes feel a bit slow - if you made a whole desktop out of it, it would barely creep along at all!
THe Java runtime itself is no longer slow. (Proof: the Standard WIndowing Toolkit from Eclipse.org has a faster GUI than Java's Swing)
Also, depending on which browser you're using, some functions are different. So would the desktop break if you installed a different browser? Like it's fine if it runs IE, but lots of stuff I've written fails on Mozilla because their Java implementations doesn't seem to be as complete. So if I want to install Mozilla instead of IE, will some of the desktop functionality break?
First of all, you would not be using IE on Linux. Second, most modern browsers work in concert with Sun's standard JDK which for the most part is backwards compatible and you can even target your application for a particular version
Since we all connect to the net through our ISPs what if music producers cooperated with Internet Access Providers to make music available inexpensively? What if free music download (a la Napster) was bundled into internet access fees? Such scale would allow the fees per user to be reduced even further. Cheap(er) music download is a worthy goal since nothing is really free.
Sites should have means to regulate the way they serve content depending on the amount of traffic they get. Why should a fractal computation be invoked automatically on loading a web page?

That it, its not really google's fault. At least we won't like to think so;-)
Sadly(?) you are actually right. If he chose to target the 1.0 runtime the time-wasting installation procedure would not have happened. -but- Afaik Visual Studio targets 1.1 and not 1.0. The fact is Joel wants is users to download runtime + libraries-actualy-in-use; incremental download of the.NET runtime to include those components the currently instaled apps really do need. it makes sense!
As much as I love the mozilla browser, the fact remains that IE is the dominant browser out there and the easiest to install for Windows users hence this is great, important news. Now to start downloading the patch.
Well, I guess the same objections would apply to Microsoft's IPO and they are still serving their customers with the same level of dedication as before the IPO!
If you don't gain any additional benefit from using two apache instances, and you have a hang on the configuration, then what you currently have is just perfect. The difference is not significant on a server with lots of memory (512mb+) as is typically used in web hosting. As usual, more specific information about your servers would have been helpful!
At the cost of $2 per day, 5 million dollars wil sustain almost 7,000 refugees/famine victims in less privileged regions of the world for a whole year. I say let the rocket 'depart' since its no longer being used. We can keep the videos, the working diagrams, etc. and generations of the future can 'reconstruct' the rocket through virtual reality whenever they feel the need. That's merely my opinion, though.
When there are similarities in software running on computers over the internet the process of fixing bugs is simplified e.g. Microsoft only needs one copy of the relevant patches per OS version.

Hi,
Since Debian is not supported and Redhat Linux probably is, why have you decided to standardize on Debian? It beats me!

The effect of building an OS from scratch in 2003: Nothing (except personal pride?)
The effect of complaining about SCO: Nothing (except community pride?)
Difference between the two: Nothing! (except the details?)
Mozilla runs fine on any desktop. A browser-based interface would work independent of the desktop environment you choose.

The +5 modded posts have gone a long way in explaining the basics. The rest depends on what your goals for the Operating System are.
They are reporting the fact that such a theory exists.

Is UserLinux a new version of RedHat Linux?
Being that this is literally the least they could do, this situation is an example of what it means to maximize profits by minimizing costs :-)
