You can't arbitrarily get at source code on someone's web server. Do you think eBay would want you seeing the passwords to their database servers?
I think he's referring to an old bug on IIS that would allow you to view the contents of a file on the server. I believe it was a sample ASP that MS included to demonstrate come capability of ASPs.
I'm sure there are a few servers around that still have that enabled, but I'm sure most had that thing fixed 3-4 years ago.
>Terraservier doesn't have satellite images, it >has aerial photographs.
As I read the article, I wondered if aerial photos would suffer the same fate in the future. Quite a bit of the GIS work I do uses these, and it seems like terrorists would have more use for aerial photos rather than the satellite ones.
It might be, but not by that much. The BMW page states that it will be US$149 to install. I bought one of those Belkin attachments to store digital photos to my iPod for $99. Considering how much a simple oil change costs at a BMW dealership, this isn't a bad deal at all.
This brought back some fond memories of my mom buying a new volume at the supermarket every week for around $10 each. Of course there was that week when they sold out of that volume and we had to drive all over town searching for it.
Java difficult to use?

Java vs .NET

From the article:
"...because Java traditionally is considered more complex and difficult to use,.NET will have the edge in some head-to-head comparisons."
I honestly don't know where this idea came from. I've worked in both environments and a lot of.NET is extremely similar to Java - C# quite a bit and even VB.NET to a certain extent.
From reading the article, it seems to be slanted towards.NET for reasons I can't understand.
Three years in and I believe it is fair to say that most people do not understand exactly what.Net is -- other than a vague "trust me" monolithic solution.
It seems to me that this has been a problem whenever MS introduces a new technology (COM, COM+, ActiveX). I can find plenty of people using these terms, but no one can give me a two or three sentence summary of what they are. Unfortunately, it seems like.NET is having the same problem.
