Okay, thanks I'll check it out tomorrow. The link posted in the other one didn't work anyway. Plus I think i know what it was pointing to and it that plugin didn't work with 3.0
the problem is that the people I work with still use Sun One or Netbeans or Forte or whatever its called (I honestly don't know the difference between any of these and I bet Sun would have a hard time explaining the differences themselves) because it integrates with Rational Clearcase for their CVS. But Clearcase integrates into windows, so I can do my checkins / checkouts from explorer. I would be nice to get it working with eclipse because then I could get these people to start using it. The problem is that to switch they would first only see it as a hastle because of cvs and not an improvement.
At work I have a Sun Blade 100. It runs Solaris. I develop a Java Swing application. I have an upgraded video card on my Sun box.
Guess how slow the program (written in Sun's language, interpreted by Sun's VM, running on Sun's OS, running on Sun's Hardware, accelerated by a high end graphics card) runs.
I'll tell ya...its SLOW. Moving a column in a JTable almost freezes the stupid thing. Works fine on my windows PC which is a lot slower by comparison.
"At any rate, it's hard to cavil when so much value comes at so low a price. NetBeans 3.6 is available as a free download or for $9.95 plus shipping for a packaged CD.
But we'll cavil anyway. Refactoring features, beloved by users of open-source competitor Eclipse, won't be matched until later this year in NetBeans 4.0"
Couldn't agree more. I can't speak for the performance of the new netbeans, but unless it is 5x faster than previous eclipse wins hands down. And also they admit that eclipse has them when it comes to refactoring. If you have never used eclipse before, try it once and you'll love it. Renaming a method or a class across a project is so easy.
At work it turned out that everything we were calling "a" in a project was supposed to be called "b" and everything we were calling "b" was supposed to be called "c". I couldn't imagine performing all those changes without a tool like eclipse. Because those names which we got messed up appeared in public variables, local variables, method names, class names and package names. Eclipse does an awesome job determining the scope of what you're trying to change. I went and used their preview tool to preview the changes before they were made and they did not make a single error.
I've had my PC for 3 years. It was a 1.33GHz T-Bird with a GF2 Ultra. I played BF1942 with it all the time. Now I got a ATI AIW 9800 pro and realize that while there was some improvement it was really my processor that was lagging. That didn't bother me too much. But its not just game makers that are boosting requirements. I was looking at getting the latest Adobe Premiere to edit the video that I can capture now with my card and saw that I wont even run on my processor. Not that it will run and just run slow....it won't even run because I don't have SSE. I'm not too mad about this either. Our software is lagging because we have to deal with too many different architectures and have to write 10 different ways to do the same thing depending on wether someone has MMX, or SSE, or whatever extentions are popular these days. Its about time they start boosting the requirements
I couldn't agree more. This is a revolutionary step while at the same time, it is a pretty lame game. If games of this type advance the same way we have gone from a square dot bouncing back and forth the result in about 10 years or so will blow us away.

No kidding. People are dumb. Every time I format someone's computer and start them off fresh, I install basically what anyone would need. They still wind up clicking on pop-ups and clicking links in e-mails from people they don't know. Or when they install their own programs they blindly click yes, okay, next, okay, yes, yes without reading about the 3rd party software about to be installed. Its a shame that these programs are out there and that they are disguised as 'ad removers' or 'virus detectors'. But honestly....if you get a pop-up about blocking pop-ups....and you trust it....you deserve it.
yeah, it might as well be a no name. Have you ever played an apex dvd player? They are the worst piece of crap ever constructed. I bought 3 different models one month, starting w/ the cheapest and kept returning it for a better one hoping that it would actually play dvd's worth a crap.
This was back when circuit ciry carried apex. Anyway, any time there would be alot goin on in the scene of the dvd, it would crap out and get all choppy or have square pixelated artifacts that would dissappear after a couple seconds.
I bought them because they had all the nice features, like playin mp3's and such, but all those features obviously came at a cost as well.
...with helium, not blow-up dolls mind you...There is no way that it would float. I work in a grocery store and spend a great deal of time blowing up balloons making sure each register has three balloons at all times to give out to kids. I have tried making all sorts of things float with helium and the only thing I was able to get to float that wasn't a balloon was a small thin plastic bag (our normal size ones didn't work). Also I once blew up a bunch of inflatable decorations like snow men and such for the hollidays. I didn't feel like putting my mouth on something that a customer might buy, so I used the helium tank. Did not float. Didn't even feel any lighter than normal.
Yeah, I was thinking of this guy they interviewed on TV the day after that concord crashed. He was flying the concord and said he felt safer than ever because what would the chance be of having another concord blow up the next day.
...yeah, that and when it comes to nuclear stuff, I would trust the japs over the french anyday. They should build it on Hiroshima, that way there would never be a nuclear accident. Seriously, what are the chances of having two nuclear catastrophies in the same city.
ahh, releif, i just installed this patch early enough to catch a spoof....and to where does IE now take me??

Better than in Tampa home of the infamous Mons Venus where they instantiated a 6 foot lap dance rule....you can have lap dances, but she has to be 6 feet away from you.
I'm still trying to think of how that works
This is crap. I've lived on college apartment networks. People have the biggest vulerablilities on their machines, i'm not talkin about something complecated to mess with, they have their entire C partition sharred. I put.txt files in their c:\win\startmenu\startup or whatever it is and if their printers were sharred I printed it as well letting them know about it. What was stopping me from putting a trojan in their startup directory. Anyway, turns out their stupid management was trying to look for me, but their network was dumb, and so were they. I'm not the slightest bit 1337, not trying to brag or anything.
People don't realize what is going on. Its just like blaster. Everyone hates blaster, lets fry the ones who wrote it. I say next time something executes on your machine which you didn't double click on it sends e-mails to everyone on your address book telling them that you're gay, then procedes to format your entire drive. Too much nice hacking, people don't realize that something started running on their computer and there was nothing they could do to prevent it. Oh, it shuts down my computer, this sucks, I hate virus writters. Whatever I'm ranting.
Yeah, but if microsoft wants to play a part in usenet they need to get the bugs out of their Outlook Express. I use grabit because OE freezes all the time trying to decode files that are contained in more than 100 posts. Also, it can't even decode yEnc.
Agreed...I love my xbox. I love streaming divx from my PC to my xbox in the living room. I love playing emulators on it. I love borrowing games for 10 minutes and ripping them to the 120Gb HD that I put in it. I love how jealous everyone is of my xbox.
I think its an awesome bargan for all of that, but everyone is saying $180 without including the price of the modchipo. Also....I don't think this graphics issue is completely valid for one reason alone. Yes is has awesome graphics on the TV but you have to realize that it is running at TV resolution. I'm sure my Geforce2 Ultra would kick its ass in comparable games if I ran it at 640x480 (which AFAIK is more than TV)
No PCI slots, why would you need one? You have ethernet and audio. Why would anyone upgrade their video drivers for linux anyway...anyone actually play tuxracer? USB ports...it has 4, all of the controllers are misshaped USB controllers. All you need is one adapter and a hub and you're all set.
Ok, so you can't upgrade the RAM, but it has all a 733MHz needs. You think all this limits the usefulness of the XBox...I think its the best thing that ever happened to linux, no hardware compatability issues for xboxlinux because everyone that runs it has the same hardware. Its cheaper than web_tv. People are in the process of turning the xbox into a PVR. I would rather use my xbox on the TV than any other device, its perfect for it...almost like it was made for it or something.
Crucially, in the header for the new protocol version there are 128 bits for senders and recipients. That equates to several quadrillion IP addresses for every individual alive.
Damn, thats it...I was hoping for at least a quintillion:(
oh well, w/ that many available ip addresses, i'll hopefully be able to get a static IP thru my service provider...(if several quadrillion time the worlds population is enough to allow for that)
While I would normally disagree with you on this point since major action movies people will normally fork over money to watch in the theater, I have seen a copy of this and when watched on someone's xbox it is actually really good quality. I doubt it is from a digital source since you can tell it was shot from below the screen aiming up a little bit.
I was at a little LAN Party last weekend and while there were little nerds there with their Matrix II backgrounds watching it in Windows...they also claimed to have seen the movie several times in the theaters.
I wouln't go as far as to say 99.9%. You are forgetting all of the excelent homebrew programs out there for the xbox. They are the only reason I bought an XboX. I don't use it to play warezd xbox games, I use it to watch warezd divx dvd rips and listen to warezed mp3s with xbox media player. And to play warezed super nintendo roms with Xsnes9X. Haven't tried to run linux on it. It'd be nice to browse the web on my tv sometimes, or to play tux racer:), but I don't play on doin that untill I can run linux for a year on a PC without messin somethin up.
Yah, I agree. I work at a grocery store...when somone uses a credit card, it prints all *'s except for the last 4 numbers on their receipt, and even credit card receipt......but on the journal which is in plain view for a while untill i ring up other stuff and it scrolls up has the whole number displayed. If i cared enough or wanted to get in trouble memorizing one of these would be about the easiest thing in the world.
but you are forgetting one thing....most web sites now match the card numnber/exp date to the address, which is still easy to get from my job cuz i can ask to see their liscence and if its easy enough to remember, BAM!!! I could actually pay for internet pr()n.
But its the only way to stop them. The internet is the only place the Iraqi's can see women's chins, ear's, and knees. If we take this away from them, they'll have nothing left to live for...
So what happens when you want to bring a file over from a PC w/o a CDR drive to a Mac w/o a Floppy drive?
Macintosh is the only brand of computer where you can spend 2wice as much for a comprable PC but wind up without a wheel or 2nd button on your mouse, without a floppy drive.
But look at the bright side....everthing is translucent and 100% non upgradable:) You want a different monitor?...Too bad its attached to the computer, you want a different computer?, time a buy a new monitor. Its bad enough that laptops do this to ya. A faster dvd drive came out, or a faster cd-rw....try putting it into that goofy igloo shaped Mac.
Not that I hate mac or anything, I use a mac running OSX in my physics lab, its great, easy to use reliable, I would run it on a PC if I could. But their hardware is designed specifically so that you'll buy more of it, or a whole new system just to get one component. They are a hardware company.
A floppy drive was and still is (except macs and now dells i guess) the one format that every computer had. Yes, now almost every system has a CD-Drive, but not every system has a CD-RW. There are computers in my school's library / older computer labs that wouldn't be able to burn a CD, but they all have floppy drives. So I take a file over there on CD, edit it can't save my changes....what do I do, e-mail it to myself? I have a 400MHz pII, and it can barely handle 2x CDRW recording and I hardly ever use it now that i have another system that can handle faster speeds. That isn't the only speed in the equation, saving to a floppy in most OS's is drag and drop, or a command line copy. With CDRW's that requires loading a program to write the CDRW.
This is enough ranting for now, i'll save some for when they stop putting spots for floppies on ATX cases.
