Suddenly requiring a $600 fee to get your app signed so it can be used seems like a pretty dirty trick by anyone's book. The ancillary result is that this will probably kill off any plans for freeware, shareware, gpl or bsd licensed software.
Looks like the convicted monopolist is up to their old tricks again:
"For reasons best known to itself (and possibly whoever devised the Ts & Cs of its Microsoft licence) Orange has crippled the SPV so that it will only run Microsoft certified software. According to developer Paul O'Brien (who also runs MoDaCo), prerelease versions of the phone had the Microsoft Root Digital Certificate, which trusted certificates produced with the Smartphone 2002 SDK, but this was removed from the shipping device. How to win developer hearts and minds - let them get their apps running fine on the prototypes, then break them when the product ships."
Madonna did the title song to Die Another Day. She was made a cameo in the movie.
Solaris was ok, but kinda slow. It wasn't really a romance, but more of a meditative study of existentialism and perhaps religion. The last comment of the wife in the movie was something like "we have been forgiven of all our sins." which made me think Solaris represented God and each person's visitor really was just a metaphysical representation of them facing their own sins. For instance, the one guy keep being visited by himself so obviously his sin was vanity.
But still I think I liked Die Another Day better for one reason: Miranda Front. This hot chick is the best reason to see the movie. Even though she was the villian I was praying she would kill hally in the final fight. Oh such a waste!
The dialogue sucks. The acting is worse. The actors look like they are standing around the set uncertain of how their characters should act. Name one thing that "Ron Glass" character has done- one thing! Nothing, absolutely nothing. Name one thing the wacky girl has done - one thing! Nothing - Name one thing the whore has done - etc. The characters do nothing, they are boring and not at all engaging, except maybe the adam baldwin character. He deservers better. And the western thing in space just doesn't work. It should have had a hint of Western flavor and not be a Western. I like Westerns, I like sci-fi, I like the idea of them combined properly. This is just banal dreck - yu-gi-oh is much better than this crap!
so what do you think about jeremiah? I don't think its the greatest, but I keep watching it for some reason. The plot seems to be developing nicely. It actually seems to be headed somewhere as opposed to most shows. For some reason though waiting it feels like a guilty pleasure like hercules was when it ran the first few years.
farscape had lots of cool aliens at least. some major boss type aliens too. firefly had no aliens at all. and lets be honest the acting in farscape was over the top, but in firefly the acting is just "dreadful". There's really not one actor that that should quit his or her day job.
and whether it competes successfully against Microsoft can really only be fought in these newly technologically maturing countries such as India and China. The war against Microsoft was long ago lost to the US. 95% of all OS are Microsoft in the US. But in China and India there is still a chance that Microsoft will not gain a majority much less a monopoly. Let's work together with these countries to ensure that Microsoft doesn't become a global monopoly and eventually more powerful than the US government!
OH god, this was my first console! I was seven. I can't tell you how many times I played #10 - MAZE - CAT AND MOUSE. I had the computer movements memorized and could move through the maze at will. What memories!
Something is wrong though. The cost of computers have come down to a couple hundred dollars at the low end and yet the Operating System is still 100+ dollars. Intel must realize that Microsoft's monopoly/non-competition and price fixing is going to start costing them chip sales at some point. Free OS software may actually benefits their sales significantly at some point in the near future.
Well, I have to agree. The domain name is really inappropriate for the content. The word "flesh" does have a provocative connotation, I don't care what anybody says.
I'm sure the Japanese Fish Billionaire, Mr. Fuck, who recently dedicated a library to Yale is just as f*cked.
I read somewhere, I think it was on the Mono site, that they don't think they will ever be able to the Windows.Forms stuff to unixes. The problem being that it is too close tied to the win api.
Is there any truth in this? And if so, doesn't this make developing these open source versions of.NET a trap in that most windows.NET apps have a gui so they won't run correctly on linux??
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I read this on the Mono Windows Forms update page.
I have taken it once. Metrolink is EXPENSIVE. And when I took it I lived in fullerton by the railway station, but still it was too far to walk. So I haven't figured out the advantage yet when I have to drive to the railway station and then get from the arrival station to work. I recall it being kinda slow too. Maybe we do need that rail system.
[quote]It's also worth pointing out that in the recent california election, a pair of bills were passed which put aside approximately $10b for the construction of California's high speed rail project. [/quote]
This is great dude; money that could be well spent on fixing our dire freeway situation is wasted on rail systems nobody will use. Anyone else love taking the 91 home to Corona??

I'm sorry. She has to be the hottest English actress since liz hurley. Something about her pure white skin.

I don't know about dancing girls...
but with the money you saved using PostgreSQL instead of Oracle, you could afford to get a prostitute every week for the next two years.
and that counts for something!

Yeah, it appears ICC generated code is 30-50% faster than code generated by GCC.

Yes, I do believe that is Mono's intention.
Redhat is open source and you can download the iso for free. That should count for something. The license should just apply to proprietary software.
Thanks I will check that out! It would just make me sick to think microsoft has this trap set out for us at the end of the tunnel.
From all I've read and the benchmarks I've looked at, ICC (Intel Compiler) is 99% compatible with GCC and code generated is 30%-50% faster.
This difference may be enough to push Linux way past Microsoft if Linux apps run that much faster than Microsoft apps.
It seems like its crazy that the distros (REDHAT, SUSE, etc) don't use ICC as a drop in replacement for 386+ compiling.
For other platforms use GCC, but why should 90% of users be punished for the sake of cross-platform features (sounds like java)?
When will the linux kernel be compatible with ICC and why aren't more using it??

Wow, I agree. That's the first thing I thought when I saw that picture. It's a microwave! How funny. It must all be a joke or something, huh?
