So I checked out Ekiga and what's amusing is that it shows that a recent version was 3.2.1, which sounds like a really mature product. But from the release notes, it says it's the first stable version of Ekiga with release notes showing tons of crash/leak fixes and since then lots of crash fixes. Having gone through 3.2.3 to 3.2.5, they're now on to 3.20? And I thought Microsoft took liberties with version numbers!
Really, this thing should still be 0.x with a beta tag on it.
Yeah, right. Go look up the 2 main ones used in the Fortune 100s - Websphere (formally) MQ Series and Tibco EMS and see how long they've been around.
I never claimed JBoss MQ has been around longest. Your initial statement was that there were 101 others and JBoss MQ is a Me-Too product for Redhat. Unless you can prove that there were 101 that came before JBoss MQ, your initial statement is bullshit.
Is there something special about this that the 101 others around can't do or is it just a Me-Too product for Redhat?
JBoss MQ goes back to 2002 and was renamed to JBoss Messaging and is now being renamed to HornetQ. Given that it's been around for so long, you should instead ask most of your 101 other ones why they are Me-Too products.
True. But if the original poster had supplied a bunch of config and log files, I'll bet there would be a bunch of people here providing more relevant technical solutions.
People barely RTFA most of the time. You're saying that they'll pore through config and log files to debug someone else's system?
I'm making a Low Budget HDV Filipino Horror Movie in NYC [bangamovie.com]
I'm guessing the horror part is that since you've been working on this for the better part of a decade, all the actors visibly age in the movie and one-by-one mysteriously die off due to premature old age?:)
The ACLU's app lies. When a friend installs an app, it has full access to everything _your friend_ can see in your profile, not the same level of access as an app you install yourself would have.
Is that not what the summary already explicitly says? "Facebook apps run with the access privileges of the user running it, so anything your friend can see, the app they're running can see, too." That pretty much agrees with what you just said: the app your friend runs sees what your friend can see. The problem is, my friend's app is not my friend.
First they implemented video card drivers as blobs, and I didn't speak up because I was happy playing games. Then they implemented the network drivers as blobs, and I didn't speak up because I enjoyed faster network connectivity. Then they implemented the storage drivers as blobs, and I didn't speak up because now the latest hardware ran in Linux. Then they implemented my kernel as a blob, and there was nobody left to speak up for me because their systems were causing kernel panics because of all the blobs that nobody could debug.
Bit Torrent is nothing more, and nothing less, than a protocol. It shouldn't have a legal status, or an illegal status, any more than verbally enunciating ideas should have a legal status. No form of communication should be make illegal.
I don't think anybody's suggesting that the protocol be made illegal. But if someone started a site called "The Death Bay" and on it people could use random protocol X to share lists of people to kill, I don't think you'd see too many people defending them saying "Ah, but they aren't soliciting people to commit murder... they're simply facilitating communications between two parties using a wonderful protocol. Nothing illegal about what they're doing at all, no sir!"
how fast can you generate a text that (a) says what you intend and (b) does not point to you? Very fast, I'd wager.
as fast as: type it out, auto-translate it into french, auto-translate it back into: "the person who is being hated by myself is to be killed by myself by employment of the method of the bomb conflagration saving if it is the case that I am receiving the stipend of an amount that is one million of dollars. sandwich."
FBI Agent 1: "This guy wants a million dollars. And a sandwich." FBI Agent 2: "Bastard must be hungry. Let's try starving him out."
I am learning to hate articles that give you a little bit of information and leave out the important data. If Ms. Liu hasn't released the data, then the article should not have been written. Or she should provide it on her web page. Or provide a link to some journal where it's being published. This whole thing stinks of spin and MS FUD.
The article is essentially an abstract for the real data that will be presented on August 24th at the Australian Architecture Forum. It's not their fault someone submitted it to Slashdot prematurely.
Google will automatically scale up the number of instances of your application to handle any additional load. Beyond that, the pricing is extremely reasonable. See: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/billing.html
The cool thing is that you're running on Google infrastructure. You don't need to worry about keeping 3 copies of your live data around for redundancy (in case a node goes down, for example) because that's handled for you. You don't need to worry about network topology and so on, or writing code to scale up and down your application with additional nodes as traffic increases (as you'd have to with Amazon EC2).
If you run a very large site with high demand needs, you might be better off developing your own infrastructure. But if you run a small to medium traffic site, you're better off letting someone else deal with the overhead.
I think it's really cool. Instead of missions where you do things that some computer has randomly generated, you're able to carry out missions designed by humans which actually contributes towards some larger purpose. So rather than some random skirmish that doesn't mean a whole lot, you're fighting for a cause. It's a brilliant idea.
Right... I was thinking that they might have cut the code that supports the Emotion chip from later PS3 updates as that might save them from having to maintain separate code branches depending on specific PS3 model.
I have the original 60GB PS3. Do you know if they completely dropped support for PS3s with the Emotion chip (switching it to software emulation only) or do they still support hardware emulation for PS3s that have it?

Patents drive them straight into the ground.
And I thought "hacker" actually meant someone who (literally) hacked on things. With a hatchet or similar.
So more like Hans Reiser?
3.2.0 would be going backwards though.

You lost me there. Perhaps start by explaining what type of car the smelliest turd represents.
A taxi. Why else would you hail it?

He only wasted you time and informed me and about everyone else who didn't know this. Thanks eln!!

Oh, I thought we were talking about my business documents, not my web site. Sure, if I wanted to run apps in my website, I would consider Google apps.
Run apps in your website? You really have no idea what App Engine is. Google Apps != Google App Engine.

Google App Engine gives you enough resources to serve approximately 5 million users per month at no cost. See: http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/quotas.html

Impressively, only 4% of respondents said they wouldn't buy a new 360 because of hardware failures.
You mean "appallingly" right? Talk about low standards.
Low standards indeed. Microsoft should be ashamed that 96% would buy a new 360 despite hardware failures.
And to use a whetstone, it's good practice to wet it first.
Just because nobody has detected a pattern doesn't mean there isn't one.
Don't you think that's an irrational conclusion?

Me neither. I'm hoping I don't see one that says "Discontinued support for Emotion Engine to ensure consistency between all PS3 devices".
