Yes it does.
Control Panel->Java Plugin->Update tab.
However, I just forced a check with "Update Now" and it says "You already have the latest Java(TM) Platform on this system.". I'm running 1.4.2_05. Very useful.
Are they really doing this? (sending all traffic to all locations?)
My understanding was that the main fiber is split near the subscriber cluster with another short fiber run carrying a single wavelength to the individual subscribers.
If not, sounds like a nosey hackers dream;)
Interesting that it's PriceWaterhouse that put this out.
Would this be the same PriceWaterhouse with this patent: "Method for electronically recognizing and parsing information contained in a financial statement" ...which caused the developer of Groovy Java Analyst to abandon his open source project.
Though he doesn't say that he received any correspondence from them, just idea of getting tangled up with a corp. over a patent was enough to send him packing.
I'm sorry, but software patents as well as BP patents are blatantly wrong.
Just imagine someone had managed to patent "Method for looping over an range of integers to control algorithm execution".
Nowadays, they could probably patent "Method for serving fast food with customer still in their car"
If FOIA is curtailed, how will journalists and watchdog groups get their information they use to keep government honest?
That's easy.
They'll just do like CBS and make their own forged documents to support whatever story they feel like making up that day that will be reported as "news".
What's the matter? Another Friday night go by without you all getting laid?
It was a joke based on the number of outsourceing articles we've been seeing and the How 8 pixels cost Microsoft Millions discussed right here on SD.
It's obviously not me that's intolerant.
That's what happens when you outsource the hardware to Singapore and the software to India.
"Soft beep" in Mandarin probably translates to "Loud, deafening tone" in Hindi.
The car analogy is a perfect example of the current state of affairs.
I just grabbed Hoyle Puzzle Games 2004. The EULA states:
"10. Limitations on License. Nothing in this License Agreement shall preclude you from making or authorizing the making of another copy or adaptation of the Program provided, however, that"..."or (2) such new copy or adaptation is for archival purposes ONLY and all archival copies are destroyed..."
...bla...bla
Yet I cannot actually make a backup copy of the game without software like theirs as the CD is copy protected.
They have known the situation would escalate just like it did back in the days of Copy ][...so they have preempted it this time by getting the DMCA passed.
Amen, brother.
Iomega will not get another dime from me. The Jaz was less reliable than the old removable media cartriges we used to use out in the field in the USMC back in the 80's.
People would have better luck backing up their crap to/dev/null.
Interesting. And yet Sun tried (and was successful for a little while) to force MS to include the JRE with every copy of windows.
What was going to be the "significant and primary functionality" that was to go along with it?
Personally, if I was in their shoes, I'd beg every Linux distro (and Apple if not the case already) out there to at least include the JRE. I'd even ask them to dist. the JDK and netbeans. If every other operating system on the planet included Java except Windows, I think it'd make life much tougher for the Redmond boys. Alas, they leave all the promotion and innovation to IBM and then bitch about it and threaten to take their ball home...
I think they want you to think they are being magnanimous but they really aren't. You won't see the same thing applying to MaxDB (the *real* db:) ). That was the big stink when SAP turned SAPDB over to MySql. SAP originally had the libraries under LGPL but when turned over to MySql, they are now GPL which means for continued use, either stay with the original SAPDB or use MaxDB and open source your project.
Personally I have nothing against then making money off of MySql. I just think in thier case, the whole GPL thing is a pretense.
Amen, brother!
I've been stuck with their beta products numerous times always believing they would make the cards work eventually. They always just came out with a new card promising the same crap (but never delivering).
If you can prove that the "legal" evidence they obtained would not have been obtainable without the use of the illegal evidence then any evidence resulting is "fruit of the poisoned tree" and can also be thrown out and unusable.
SapDB is a very powerful system, but if people think Postgres is difficult to setup/maintain...SapDB is 100 times more weenie oriented.
Why SapDB never got the exposure of others is hard to say. Some think it's because of the source code which is apparently very complex, hard to follow with few comments preventing outside people from writing additions/improvements for it. Others say it was simply Sap announcing that it was going OSS and then never doing any other promotion on it.
Me, I think it wasn't successful because of the simple fact that the *only* support plan they had available cost $50,000/year.
Since their OSS model didn't work they have now joined up with MySQL. They are going to release the next version of SapDB as something like "MaxDB" and it will be MySQL's "high-end" database.
It also means that it will be licensed like MySQL (including client libraries) which will be an issues for a number of people.
He said he's VPC under XP to run Linux ergo he paid for an XP license. i.e. There is a version of VPC for Windows
As for why someone would want to use VPC to run stuff they can run native? I don't know about him, but for me, developing apps for Windows, from Windows is made much easier by using VPS. You get a "clean install" OS every time you run it if you want, which is great for testing apps out. Nothing worse than having your install packeage all done, just to deliver and have it not run on a client machine because the installer didn't install some DLL that was needed (and present on your machine) but not present on the client machine.
Whats even more interesting to observe is how audio for ads for different items are done depending on the product.
The ads for "Ambien", and other sleeping aid drugs, while having a mellow feel, come across as much louder than any other commerical I've seen....hmmm...I can't sleep because of this loud commercial, maybe I need some sleeping pills!
While the ad for a hearing aid system was so low, it was almost inaudible...hmmm...I can't hear this freaking ad, maybe I need a hearing aid?
My GF can sleep through Matrix: Revolution pumping in DD5.1, but I can be watching regular TV and that stupid Ambien commercial comes on and will actually wake her up for a moment.

She should resell copies of the book on the site.
That would really piss them off and would provide a ton of cash to pay lawyers to ward off Penguin.

I'll bet it ends up working on the same principle that Bill Beatty is talking about when he got to thinking about why it is that an atom can absorb light so readily even though the size of the atom is such a small fraction of the wavelength.
