What the heck are they? The problem with most microsoft technologies is that most of the information about them is written by marketing rather than engineering. Are you really saying that Oracle doesn't have something comparable?
In any case, as this story points out the economics of data storage are moving towards less features for greater scalability.
In understand your complaints about ie. But seriously, email is not what you should be doing there. Ajax post to a back end that analyzed the data and determined if it was worthy for you to review, then if you really need to be notified by email, email it to you. Its not that tough, and a more elegant way of doing it.
No, its in reverse chronological order. Its like reading a mystery novel backwards.
As it is, to read it in the order it actually happened you have to go to the bottom then go back up to find the start of the last entry, read down to the end of the entry. Then go back to the top of that entry and scan upwards for the beginning of the next entry. I understand most blogs are that way with newer stuff on top, but that doesn't mean it makes sense when each posting only makes sense in the context of those that preceded it.
Is it still used as a diving watch after walmart changes the battery? I've done that before with my water proof watch, only to have it die in the shower, post change.
But everyone knows that. Its okay if everyone knows the license compatibilities at the beginning of a project and are trying to decide what license to use. But if you have to hire a lawyer to parse a pletera of poorly written licenses for compatibility with each other, then it sort of sucks.
I would add, in addition to the the possibility of it being held up in court, would be the probability of success in court. If we can generate a substantial case history full of precedents dealing with the main licenses, it would ensure that newer cases that handled similar issues would be handled quicker and with more predictable results. That would ensure that companies take the licenses more seriously, and/or make any actual legal action quicker and less painful to everyone involved.
My town used to do something similar. They would have a referendum every year to issue bonds to repair the roads. It was annoying and one year it didn't actually pass. In the case of potholes and street repair, I'd just prefer that they be fixed and that there be money devoted to it. A permanent sales tax is okay for that purpose. Now they also made a determinant sales tax to build a new Jail. Then the Jail was built. Annoyingly, they didn't reduce the sales tax to its previous level. They just kept it where it was at and fought over what frivolous purpose they could use the money with. I think its officially being applied towards Terrorist training & emergency response needs. Completely bogus.
Ok even if all of those are true (they sound more like unprovable statements), still not quite as bad as slavery or segregation. So, Ummm, I'm going to stay with what we have.
Pretty discussing. I had mice in my college apartment. I was awoken one night by a high pitched sequel. A mouse got stuck in a glue trap. Just his leg. So I could either wait for him to die, try ripping him off outside or find a disgusting towel I didn't want anymore wrap him up in it and throw him in the dumpster. I wen to more lethal applications after that as well. Regular mousetraps work better. For rats though... you have to use poison. Which sucks. They run off and die. You don't really find them until they start rotting and sometimes things you don't want to die eat the poison.
Given enough time in a free operating system, its not impossible to do anything (thats part of the reason why its still around and Beos is not so much). The point is I just dropped the r5 cd in and blam, quick graphical install and everything freaking worked in Beos. That's what is known as superior hardware support. Not having to configure anything to work. No drivers to install.
Well, the thing is the rift was in MySql before the Sun acquisition. Monty versus Mårten. Developer vs Business guy. It was Mårten who wanted to introduce enterprise for pay only features. Monty was hoping that the acquisition would swing the power to the developer side and open up the dev process. It seems Sun isn't willing to go as far as Monty would like fast enough. But it seems its too far for Mårten as he has also left Sun.
I'm not lying. I had strange strange hardware. The cd player wasn't ide. It connected to the sound card. The mouse did work, but only partially. The wheel didn't work. Or the extra buttons.
The fact that this is modded interesting, is pretty disturbing. In fact, disturbing probably should have been a mod choice from the beginning. Its... its not too late to do the right thing Taco.
abandoned roadkill sandwich? Who the hell goes through the trouble of making a delicious road kill sandwich and doesn't eat it when its fresh? If you don't like roadkill why make the sandwich?
Driver support was *not* worse than linux at the time ( well for me anyways). It was actually better. My computer of 1999 worked perfectly under beOs R5. It even supported the tv card! Linux... Well it didn't support my video card. Or my ethernet card, or my printer. Or my mouse. Or my cd player. And yes, it was a weird hardware setup ( the cpu was mounted ont he motherboard on the opposite side from everything else.) But BeOs just freaking worked. It was awesome to behold. Much nicer than the win 98, or semi working linux distros I also had on the machine.
But having said that. I realize its time has passed. A non multiuser operating system simply shouldn't thrive in today's market place. The security implications of single user frighten me.

So you've developed a website that allows connections from the past? That's awesome. Sort of. I guess you could sell them stock tips.
Well, their monopoly position in the mobile phone industry is more has-never-and-will-never-exist than existent.

Dude, that's what SSH + Vim are for.
Why is that tempting? It seems like the equivalent of paying second graders to do your taxes.

Terrorist *response* training. To be clear. Which is completely necessary in a town of 150,000 people.

Dude, I'm from Illinois. Compared to the state government, The Federal looks rosy.
Slashdot sucks at science. Its too into video games these days to be bothered with the fundamental forces of nature.

I only know of the really bad things that were defended by the cry of states rights : slavery, segregation, and possibly policeman.
Are there any cases where some one has used the states rights argument for anything that wasn't obviously a horrible idea?
Well, Taco Bell just calls them "tacos".

Uhmm... Palm did buy BeOs and did merge it into their os. See!
