Would you consider C slow if you had problems with a slow Linux box ? or would you try to find the reason why it is slow ? Java with badly written gui's can be very slow, but absolutely does not have to be
Listen to the hard drive make a bunch of unholy noise the whole time. I guess the program is started with insufficient memory for the task at hand, or it is written to use a random acces file or something, killing performance that way. Type "java -X" for info on memory configuration at startup of VM
I have worked with big java apps on Mac OSX, without any problem (Eclipse,...)
...lots of telcos payd huge license fees for 3G because that would be the next big thing...
Thats why I have such unshakeable confidence in Gartner and such, when they predict the future in, say, 10 years:-)
And so where copyrights - limited in time - but Disneyland laws keep extending those "limited periods" to suit big commercial intrests.
What happens if, e.g. MS or SCO or IBM suddenly feels the urge to extend the lifetime of their patent portfolio ? Will they say "nah, 20 yrs of profit is enough" ?
Mandrake comes with "KPovModeler" a graphical frontend, you need to install povray separately (command line). It comes in a tar, untar.
In KPovModeler: Settings -> Configure KPovModeler you can fill in which command to execute...
Good luck;-)
If a presently pay-per-ride mass transit system were made free
Well, actually, in Belgium there is a city where public transport is free (yes, as in beer) for everybody. Or more correctly, everybody pays, regardless if they use it or not(payed for by taxes).
The actual cost might have decreased, if you calculate private cost, increased tourism revenu,... Might make an interesting case study to (dis)prove your point
Well, from the short description you gave, it seems to me you have some architectural/design problems.
I would recomend some reading: first Refactoring which talks about code "smells".
One such smell is "Inappropriate Inimacy"
[classes]spend far too much time delving in each others' private parts
recipes are given to resolve these kind of problems. The nice thing about it, is that it talks of symptoms of problematic code, you will more easily understand where your problems occur and why.
Don't try to add all tests at once, do it on a regular basis, one by one, as needed to support your refactorings, and for regression testing. You don't want to find the same bug more than once.
Start using Ant as a build tool, automaticaly executing your test suites at least with every build.
Try to achieve an MVC (Model - View - Controler) architecture, the View (awt/swing, html/jsp, console,...) should only be responsible for showing the state of the model. The Controler should only validate user input and manipulate the Model (Mediator pattern). The Model should represent the business logic (you'll typically will find Person, PersistenceService, AuthenticationService objects here).
Just don't rush things, the goal is not to make your code compliant with The Only Right Way Of Doing Things(TM) the goal is improving your code for achieving more robustness and maintainability.
BTW, I'm speaking from experience, as Sr developer/analyst/architect in a small team and as coach/instructor. I wish you succes;-)
But that is exactly one of the problems another contender (Linux, OS/2,...) in the market faces. Users are so used to buying PC's with windows, they don't even consider a change.
In this context, only OSS has a real chance of becoming relevant to 'house-garden-kitchen' users. Because it doesn't cost to test it out.
What's interesting about the article is that it shows 'missionaries' spreading the news, might be an approach to enlarge the userbase
These are smaller(Dimension: 150mm x 106mm x 32mm (6" x 4" x 1.25")), cheaper ($499), have higher clockspeeds, have TV/VGA out, touchpad, but no cd,... and can be bought online, even without windows (+ $125).
I really don't have a clue how such a system can work reliably
Since the fifties, IR/Radar guided AA missiles use(d) a simple algorythm: try to keep angular velocity at zero to intercept a plane, that is adjust your direction, such that the target remains in the same direction relative to your "12 o'clock".
You can use that to detect that an approaching object is on a collision course.
On top of that you would have to calculate other things (on collision course AND closer than my breaking distance)
Actually, you can observe this, look at approaching you in the curb, it will appear in on the left part of your windscreen, move to the middle, then start moving to the left again. If It remains in the same spot on your windscreen, AND it's getting bigger and bigger, start worrying;-)
If Customer wishes to increase the number of Installed Servers, then Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional Services
The problem is they force you to purchase an aditional service contract whenever you install a new "instance", presumably, whatever the source of your RH server installation. So effectively, they restricted the GPL, which they are not allowed to do:
from art. 4 of the GPL:"...Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License....."
from art. 6:"... You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein...."
Simple solution: install aditional servers from a different distributor (SuSE, Gentoo,...), but that defeats the benefit of having a more or less uniform install base...
Or don't buy these services, and use RH for free (the beer variety).
4. REPORTING AND AUDIT. If Customer wishes to increase the number of Installed Servers, then Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional Services for each additional Installed Server. During the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, Customer expressly grants to Red Hat the right to audit Customerâ(TM)s facilities and records from time to time in order to verify Customerâ(TM)s compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such audit shall only take place during Customerâ(TM)s normal business hours and upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Red Hat. Red Hat shall conduct no more than one such audit in any twelve-month period except for the express purpose of assuring compliance by Customer where non-compliance has been established in a prior audit. Red Hat shall give Customer written notice of any non-compliance, and Customer shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice in which to make payment to Red Hat for any additional Installed Servers, such payments to be determined by the number of additional Installed Servers multiplied by the applicable annual fee for Service per server. If Customer is found to have underreported the number of Installed Server by more than five percent (5%), Customer shall, in addition to the annual fee for Service per Installed Server, pay a penalty equal to twenty percent (20%) of the underreported fees.
There are some reasonable limtiations for the audits. If you buy a product including services, the burdon on RH would increase with every deployement, so it seems reasonable to charge per server. But how can you free the software and not the service ?
The point remains to be checked, is there a conflict with the GPL ?

Not really, the subject here is patenting an original idea instead of standard practice
Nobody hates SCO for their patent portfolio. Just their Darling Bride...

Funny. It was when considering the properties of light, this super hero showed he was not infallible...
Some human traits make these men just so much more interesting

Motion triggers camera, /. crowd drooling on the patio.
This could be a whole new way to /. a server. Can somebody set up a mirror before it goes down ?
And why did you need the virusscanner in the first place ? Or WinZip/backup/defrag/zonealarm/spyware removal/whatever-ware for that matter ?

At some point, you might get interested in Design Patterns a good alternative for Java with more practical examples.

You are probaly right, and I realy hope so. IANAL and such, it still seems a little confusing...
