I assume that some serious 3D model rotation is taking place (typical medical use). If this is true, then Java Web Start is your best bet. No DHTML in the world will do that in any reasonable way. I work mostly in DHTML, doing things like windowing systems and such, and drawing arbitrary graphics is NOT something it can do. So, show them the ease of Java Web Start, and code up something pretty for JRE 1.4.1
Besides the fact that they're patenting unpatentable expressions of abstract thought like books or movies or pictures or music or any other creative output that that can be recorded in physical form as a string of bits in some kind of EM storage device
These things are not patented, they are copyrighted. Just because you can reproduce them does not mean they do not belong to the creators. I am a writer, and let me tell you, we are not rich. If our work was not ours, we would earn nothing. It takes years to write a novel: it should be mine to control.
I had problems with d10. Notably, jEdit complained about a number of missing classes and, while it would start (from the jar, not the bundle) crashed after a few minutes. Swing componants seemed no faster (as opposed to 1.4.1 in Win), but everything else worked.
Upshot: wait it out, unless you desperatetly need regexes and assertions.
True, if all the app does is GUI. Perhaps, though, when you fire events in the GUI, something occurs. Surely you would not want the GUI to wait on the result of that fired procedure: you would execute it in a seperate thread. Or, maybe the GUI is not entirely static (a movie clip is showing, for instance). You would not want the event updates fighting with the movie playback: you would run them in seperate threads.
They don't care about portability, since they are a single platform. Thus, Gecko's advantages there offered nothing. They explained their choice in terms of speed and the size and structure of the code. Probably part of the issue was whether they felt they could dive in and code away immediately. Mozilla, arguably, is a little large for that.

This is a common misconception. Trying to get more groups invloved in science (art, etc) is not just social engineering. It is also an attempt to make science better. The more people lend their talents, the better it will be. This is obviously true in sports, as African-Americans became able to join professional teams. As Jesse Jackson once said, "we never knew how good football could be until everyone could play". The same is true for science: we will never know how good it can be until everyone can participate.
What "women want" is highly influenced by what paths in life seem available or attractive to them. This is hardly something one is born with, but much more likely the product of cultural atmosphere. The fact that there are more American women scientists than Afnagni ones makes this obvious. A restrictive environment of possibilities acts as a real barrier to entry for women, many of whom don't even think of themselves a spossible scientists. And all of that is prior to active prejudice on the part of others.
My mom is a chemist and she had to fight like hell her whole life just to work, much less to do that work and still be considered a woman. Anything that makes science more viable for all individuals sense of identity is positive, and clearly benefits science.
No, it was not related to the overall drop in crime.
Crime dropped dramatically across the entire nation at that time, because the economy picked up. Cities with law & order mayors got a drop in crime. Cities expirimenting with community policing got the same drop in crime. Apart from making sure cops basically do their job right, nothing but the economy affects crime in a major way.
As I read it, OmniWeb is 77% the speed of Mozilla, which I think is significantly slower: it renders at about 3/4 the speed. This is noticable, especially over high-speed lines where the download time is not evening the scores out.
I agree. Javascript is very useful as a web scripting language, but a horrible idea as an OS scripting language. There is no reason to blame JS, just Microsoft's allowing it to roam outside the webpage. In fact, i would suggest that the problem is never Javascript, but ActiveX accessed from Javascript. ActiveX is the hole into the local system, Javascript is just the controlling language.
Do we really need a replacement for walking? It seems to me that bicycles fit the bill quite nicely, with public transport coming up right behind. I have to admit, I live in NYC and have never felt that I walk too much. What we need is a replacement for cars. Make this thing faster and lower to the ground and then... wait, that's a motorcycle.
Just seems like a solution without a problem. The inventor is an arrogant monster too. Trying to change the laws in cities so the fools with these things can endanger our lives on the sidewalks.
If the website is informational (ie, not a web application), than marketing is the proper department. None of us think IT should be designing the brochures, do we?
Just like choosing the language for your code, designing the UI should fit the requirements of the project, not some preconceived notion about the "best" UI. The Mac UI is excellent for its purpose: ease of consumer learning. The only way a UI can be "intuitive" (too often bandied about) is if it 1)uses known and widely used componants (tree views, submit button at bottom right, etc) and 2) is absolutely consistent within itself. The Mac interface certainly meets these.
The needs of Blender are *different* and so the interface is made to meet different needs. It is made, not for ease of learning, but for speed of use. They are not comparable, since they have different objectives.
Actually, my experience with OSS support has been tons better than commercial software. I can email the developers, who often respond in minutes with an answer. Also, I do not need to navigate some support labrynth just to see the mailing list of questions, or the FAQ. Commercial apps have little on OSS, from my experience. The best source for debugging Weblogic problems is not sitting on the phone for 2 hours, but going to the mailing lists, like an OSS project.
I am in complete diagreement with everyone here on this issue, I believe. The copyright owners of these works are the writers, who are famously poor (a few exceptions aside). Believe me, as a writer, we are poor. Taking away copyrights from writers will not steal money from "big corporations," who make their money off distribution.
Neither do I hope that the future demands digitized books, wherin writers will never make any money ever. I am not sure why all of you are in favor of this.
In short, writers are in a very different situation from engineers. Their work is not "information", but art. The copyrights are in their hands, not the publishers. No one else would have "figured out" that particular novel. Just because both code and novels contain words do not make them the same.

Well, typically we decide on whether you broke the law in a court. Until then you are a suspect, and do we really want to allow arbitrary tracking of people _suspected_ of breaking laws?
