Back when I was looking at SVN clients, I found this one had the most promise. Of course, if you have users who know Windows Explorer (assuming your site is MS-based), then TortiseSVN is another good alternative.
Right, but ignore the past and your bound to repeat it. Everyone here has a point that you apparently are afraid to confront. Microsoft has joined groups like this in the past, and manipulated the standard for their own "good" at the sacrifice of the point of the original standard. There is every indication that they will do this again, since the OpenDocument standard is a direct threat to their proprietary standards.
Tell me I'm wrong, but back up your argument with fact, or you're a bigger troll and MS fanboy than you're willing to admit.
More than 200 Web sites -- many of them belonging to legitimate businesses -- have been hacked and seeded with code that tries to take advantage of a unpatched security hole in Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser to install hostile code on Windows computers when users merely visit the sites.
Come on now! You can't possibly bait the entire/. community like this with a book review about AI and.NET and not include the score you gave the book! That's just not fair! We need more reasons to flame, troll, and insult this article!
I'd play JC's game, not RH's. As some have already pointed out, most movie-based games suck, and most movies based on games also suck. However, having something worked out in parallel with each other would be pretty cool. Granted, I'd like to see how they would cast "gold farmers" in the movie.;-)
As for the MMORPG-meets-reality, no thank you. First off, the "winners" would more than likely need to be US citizens, and we all know that MMORPG players are not all US-based. Granted, you could have a different show in each country, and have those contenstants battle it out, but I just don't see that happening. That and the fact that I'm sick of these "reality" shows. C'mon, it was funny the first time, but how many bloody American Survivor Idols do we need?
Agreed. Personally I was looking forward to the PS3 and the Revolution. Granted that the gaming division of Sony has nothing to do with the Music label side, I still plan on punishing all of Sony because of this recent mess with their CDs.
The big N will be getting my support from now on in terms of the console wars! And as for music, you still can't beat http://www.allofmp3.com/
If you RTFA, you'll notice a link to Caolán McNamara's blog, which indicates how to get OO.o to build under GCJ. It also points out (as many have mentioned here) that no proprietary Sun classes are really being called here, it's just that the FOSS equivalents aren't quite up to speed yet.
It seems that people are getting upset at looking at the imports in the code without realizing that THEY ARE NEVER USED!!! Again, I refer you to the blog entry, but for those of you too lazy:
This gcj request asks for the addition of java.awt.Frame.createBufferStrategy which is all that is missing from gcj to build the java canvas stuff. (Though the canvas module contains a pile of spurious imports of sun.awt which are unnecessary and can be removed, not that there's much point right now, if a createBufferStrategy becomes available then removing the sun.awt from the canvas/java.javas is all that's outstanding)
Nothing to see here, just move along. More jumping the gun rather than investigating things to completion.
But I fail to see why everyone's right to privacy should be invaded just because the Canadians can't track down their own criminals.
Wait, hold on. Last time I checked, criminals don't always just sit in one place their entire lives (s/place/country/g). The system is not just for Canadian law enforcement, but a more complex system for tracking criminals from ALL OVER THE WORLD (in time). The idea is that if someone is arrested for having kiddie porn, and the system shows that this guy has been charged for the same offence in the US and/or the EU, then I can pretty much promise you that they will be going away for a long, long time, potentially with no chance for parole, etc. I support this.
But of course us lazy Canadians can't possibly understand how to have our law enforcement teams work together properly. We should really look at how the FBI, CIA and NSA work together in the US under the new department of Homeland Security! Oh yeah! That's just a SUPER model to follow!
Someone with mod points to burn please mod up the parent. This is probably the best explanation I have heard in quite some time regarding the problem of intelligence.
The parent is correct. There is a fundamental problem with AI at the moment and it has nothing to do with the algorithms, formulas, etc., that we are using. The problem lies in the definition of intelligence.
The classic problems (the Turing test, the Chinese room, etc) are more philosophical models to judge if a machine can achieve intelligence. But even then, we still fail to prove that a human doing the same job is intelligent. In this way, neither test works to define intelligence. But then, that's the point.
We still have major philosophical issues with our own definition of intelligence that we cannot possibly hope to create an intelligent machine, because at this point we can only hope to mimic human behaviour. While imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, I don't think it counts as "intelligence". Show me a system that has the ability to make leaps of faith, or make irrational decisions, and then I'll say it's intelligent.
Of course, having said all of that I must admit that I am studying AI at the moment and intend to pursue a PhD on the subject. The possibilities are endless, but we must first come to grips with what we mean by intelligence.
...I must admit that there is a point lying in there somewhere. Perhaps Red Hat (or Apache) should re-evaluate the "default" setup for Apache. If it was "more secure" in a default setup, then we wouldn't have people like these making these types of claims.
Keep in mind that most admins are lazy, and that while we can yell and scream that a default setup is not secure nor is it a good indication of being secure, it still should be somewhat secure out of the box. If it's not, then we have a problem and we're supplying the ammunition to the FUD machine that is MS.
No way man! CORBA is the cats meow man! I'm still holding out for that hope man! It's been a few decades, but it's due any day man, it was promised to us! IT WAS PROMISED TO US!!!
A bit off topic, but hey, Coupling is absolutely the best sitcom I've seen in a while. My wife bought me Season 3 on DVD for christmas, and I must admit I was estatic.
But it's so true with Steve's rant re: Lesbian Spank Inferno. I love James Bond.;-) (Lost? You need to watch Coupling).
The big advantage to me is that I can get a hotmail account or two right now - I can't get a Gmail account. And that's the same for 1000's of other users.
So right now, a 2Mb free hotmail account is much more atractive to me than a 1Gb but-you-can't have-one-yet Gmail account !
Yes, but I can also get a Yahoo! Mail account with 100MB and no wait, which is still a lot better than a 2MB hotmail account.
This happened with one of the other worms last year (Slammer or something similar, I can't recall right now).
The problem is that by creating a worm that cleans up the original malware worm, the fix is just as bad as the original virus. You're still using a lot of bandwidth that isn't yours, you're still sending out a program to change someone else's system without their permission, etc.
On the surface it looks like a good idea, but unfortunately it has a lot of serious drawbacks.

Umm, ever heard of Robomow? Granted, you still need to push the big green "Go" button to get it started, but it's still better than doing it yourself.
Now if only someone would just mod it up... ;-)

Maybe I'm just new here, but wouldn't spamming the spammers still cause an awful lot of network traffic on some "innocent" ISPs for the spam wars?

Well, not to get crazy technical, but shouldn't it be Evil Dead 1.5.1.2 instead?

...does it support a RAID 0 configuration?
Ahem. Please check out: Bluetooth Products. You'll see that there are more than just a few components like mouse, keyboard, phone, etc.

Can it run linux?
