  1. Good alternative for php/perl, but for j2ee? on Rolling With Ruby On Rails · · Score: 1
    It seems to me that Ruby & Rails would be a good alternative for php or perl which lack a good MVC framework. Rails will definatly save time when compared against these languages because MVC is key for large complex web-apps. However the example was very very simple and I am at this point not convinced that a Ruby app will have more extensibility and sustainability than a well written J2ee app.

    That they have created automatic mappings between objects and a relational database is nothing that shows Ruby to be superior. This feat can be done with java just as easily. That they do mappings automatically actually makes me hesistant because it does not give you the control over your objects and database that you would have, and possibly need, using OJB or Hibernate.

    The time savings show in the demo are only realized when doing the most simple things. As soon as you wish to customize your views, which will definatly happen to pretty it up, you have just as much work as in other langauges.

  8. .. our cases glow with colorful lights on The Substance of Style · · Score: 2, Funny

    The power led for my case is so powerful it lights up the entire room. I thought it was so cool till I shut of the lights and realized I couldn't sleep. Looking directly at the led is dangerous enough, but to top it off the reflection from my closet mirror aims directly at my bed. Torn by the desire to get both sleep and leave my computer running at all times I modded my case with a piece of electrical tape and finally fell asleep.

  17. Re:Gee.... on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    I would be pushing for my full albums to be purchased. Quite a few artists have it this way.

    Because only a few of thier songs were selling.

    virtual albums of 3 or 4 songs for $4 each

    chances are you wouldn't get all the good songs from an album in the same virtual album. The good songs would be used as the selling point for the crappy ones, this is what they do for a full album only on a smaller scale. To get all the good songs you would still be forced to buy the whole album. I think the solution is for artists to make better music.

  18. Re:Gee.... on File-Sharing Ethics Taught In Classrooms? · · Score: 1

    The artists I work for that have major label deals all make between $1 and $2 and album.

    You're making the mistake of assuming people are going to buy the whole album. Most artists can't and don't make an entire album worth buying. With services like iTunes available, artists are often only making money per song.

    Then maybe after the game they should hand out subliminally enhanced CD samplers and tickets to thier Full-length Motion picture, with accompanying video game, depicting "little timmy" valiantly fighting off the terrible hordes of evil filesharers!

  21. Re:Throttle it. on ISPs Experiment With Broadband Download Capping · · Score: 1

    The problem with throttling P2P is that there are many different programs that they all use different ports, and in some cases the ports are chosen by the user. Throttling would have to be all ports or none.

    Personally i throttle my own P2P apps, i share a connection with 2 roommates and the routers & cable modem are behind someone elses potentially locked door.

  25. Re:Seems funny only on planes on Electronics & Planes Don't Mix? · · Score: 1

    I can use my mobile phone near my computer and it doesn't lock up and vice versa

    I never see problems with my sprint phone but when I use my nextel phone (so old i couldnt even find a link to the model) near my computer lots of static appears on one of the monitors (the older one of course). Neither device "locks up" and static is a temporary problem but a plane crashing into the ground is a little more permanent.

    Besides the electronic problems the phone causes it also makes me wonder about the lump on the side of my head
