  1. Profiting with Microsoft on Sendo Accuses MS of Stealing Smartphone IP · · Score: 4, Funny

    1) Make deal with Microsoft. 2) Get screwed by Microsoft. 3) ??? 4) Profit!

    I swear to God, I hit preview, and it looked right! How did those two "away"s get in there? What's up with the Italicization?

    Tune in next week to find out!

    I say we take away The Biggest Douche in the Universe award away from John Edward and give it to the RIAA.

  4. Re:SWT on OpenGL Widget Set Recommendations? · · Score: 2

    SWT and the Eclipse polatform are very nice. However, he needs to work with 3d as well, and I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a port of OpenGL to SWT, yet, and SWT won't work with Java 3D. :( His best bet for Java and 3d are to use Java 3d and AWT, not SWT.

  5. Java AWT or Swing and Java 3D. on OpenGL Widget Set Recommendations? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No mentions of this combination yet, so I thought I'd drop one. If you want cross-platform compatibility, Java is the best way to go. Java 3d has a really good OGL set up as a Scene Graph API. Mix in AWT or Swing, and you've essentially got yourself an entire cross-platform system already set up.

    As in, it looks like the spherical housing would help cool the CPU a little better.... lots more room for air to circulate.

    Thanks, that's an interesting link. It doesn't look like they've got instant messaging yet, but just about everything else I was looking for... ;)

  8. Re:Personally, I would rather not... on Yahoo Buying Inktomi · · Score: 1

    Ahh, but how many people use Yahoo's search rather than Google's simply because Yahoo is their email, instant messenger, chat room, and game playing place? Would you rather go to a new web page for your searches or quick-click an interface link to get that search?

    Google loses ad revenue when people do not use Google; one way to make sure people use Google is to offer free services people need online, like instant messaging and email.

    And yes, Google-based IM and Email would indeed be outstanding quality. :)

  9. Re:Yahoo have missed the point slightly. on Yahoo Buying Inktomi · · Score: 3, Informative

    Google is not entirely ad or factored search free, you know. Next time you search, note all those ads in the upper right corner of your page, as well as the 3 or 4 lines at the top of the results portion of the page.

    They're called "sponsored links", but they're ads just the same.

    In Google's defense, they're ads the way they *should* be done. Pure text. No popups. No annoying flash animations walking in from the side of the screen.

    But they *are* ads.

  10. Personally, I would rather know... on Yahoo Buying Inktomi · · Score: 2

    ... when Google is going to start offering Instant Messenger services and web-based email. I love Google for anything search related, and wouldn't mind staying with Google for the other online services I require. On the day Google offers email and IM services, I will quit using Yahoo completely.

    Until then, yes, I do "Yahoo".

    I'd realy like to know what the "Broad wording" of the patent exactly is, and how I can get around it with my own IM software.

    AOL Patents "0-click" spam reception technique.

    We at AOL want you to not have to do *anything* to receive spam.

    So it's a high-level reorganization of the way windows environments utilize X?

    Or is it a layer of abstraction between X and an environment?

    Or was I just redundant? :)

    What is this going to do that Gnome and KDE don't already do? Or is this a replacement of X? I still can't find exactly what Debian Desktop is supposed to *do*.

  21. Re:One person's experience with PHP ... on PHP5 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    Next time try looking into Zope. It's an outstanding platform for web-applications and dynamic web content.

    It sucks for static through-put of files, however, so if you plan to serve large files stick with Apache. But if you want dynamic content -- go Zope.

    I know you meant that as a joke, but if Jackson can keep making movies as grand as LotR is so far, he can have my money, dammit! :) I'll shell out cash for the Theatrical realease DVD and Special Edition DVD for all three movies and still beg for more!

  23. I think I'll... on PHP5 Coming Soon · · Score: 1

    It's by far the best dynamic content management system out there. And the underlying language, Python, is easily the best too.

    Damn you, you beat me to my post!!!11!! :) Seriously, I wonder how much of this is just about *competing* spammers. It's a well known rumor that AOL sells its email addresses to "partners".
