It runs great here on my fedora/kde desktop with 512MB RAM and its not anywhere close to swapping.
You could always use Abiword, gnumeric, etc. if you have to run something on older hardware. I really like the features they added to Open Office 2 and would hate for them to strip out the new stuff just to get it to run on really low end machines.
You might want to give eclipse another shot. Eclpse Webtools just recently went 1.0 and it inlcludes much of the stuff that you would pay mycelcipse for.
And it lacks some important features out of the box - like a gui builder.
Considering eclipse was just a download and my copy of jbuilder enterprise actually did come in a "box"...
But if you want the GUI builder in eclipse, just go to Help Menu -> Software Updates ->Find and Install , and add the GUI building stuff. The Swing/AWT/SWT builder isn't perfect, but its under heavy development and its been very usuable for a while now.
The last version of jbuilder we paid for was Jbuilder2005, we got Jbuilder2006 with the support contract but we're not even using it.
Jbuilder is a great product, but eclipse with the GUI tools and J2EE tools added does everything we need now. The eclipse web tools went 1.0 a couple months ago and it fixed quite a few things. Even the webservice generators are almost an par with JBuilder's implementation.
I ordered mine on (nokiausa.com) december 3rd, and it still hasn't shipped. The website originally said it would ship by december third. Now it says: "Important:
If you placed your order on or before 12/16/2005, we expect to ship by January 6, 2006. You will receive a shipment confirmation email at that time. If you have questions about your order please call 1-888-256-2098."
Well, today is January 8th and the website hasn't been updated. On top of this, their customer service reps are completely clueless and somewhat unfriendly.
I really want to get started messing with this and writing/porting apps for it, but Nokia doesn't seem to want to sell it to me.
Just do a quick implmentation. Seriously its easy.
Pull down XAMPP and then uznip joomla into the htdocs directory. You could have the full technology stack and website contained in a directory. Fire it up and slap your corporate logo on the default theme. It looks professional out of the box, just show it to the powers that be. The goofy name of the software should be irrelevant.
Also if you want to give a more in depth demo showing how to create content, install MOSCE and make it the default editor, its much easier to use than what mambo/joomla comes with.
I'm the troll? heh. You might want to try reading the whole thread before posting. You obviously missed the point.
If you slap a trademark on your for-profit product without the trademark holder's permission, the trademark holder will likely have a problem with it.
Sure it sucks that the "Bluetooth Qualification Administrator" asked the website to pull down the hardware compatibility list. Those items probably were in fact compatible. The list could be very useful especially to someone like myself that just bought a linux based nokia 770 However, I could see the Bluetooth Qualification Administrator going after any products that call themselves bluetooth compatible without passing a test or paying the fee or whatever. If you don't like the standard or who controls it, then use something else.
Whoa, take it easy. That's a little out of context. I didn't take a shot at either ruby or python, was just questioning the anti-java hostility, which you didn't manage to explain either.
I find java productive compared to many other languages I have had extensive use with namely PHP, C, C++, pascal and a few others.
That being said, today's buzzwords seem to be RoR and AJAX, though I don't think either will be knocking any of the competition (completely) out of the picture.
Interesting. The funny thing is, people think that they are not just in competition for buzzword space, but in competition as solutions for all problems. Even when they are complimentary technologies. "Why write something in j2ee when you can do it in ajax";)
OK, everyone knows Java's a nonstarter these days.
As much as I hear this regurgitated ad nauseum in the comments here it still makes me chuckle.
Just did a simple search on a few different cities on monster.com and it seems that there's about 10 or 11 times more positions available to java programmers than ruby and python combined. I've done a little python and don't mind it so much, and have only read a few tutorials on ruby and ruby on rails. They both seem ok, but neither have a syntax anything like what I'm used to(C,C++,Java,C#, etc...).
I'm curious if gcj/gij + gnu-classpath had a complete and open 1.5 spec implementation on par with the Sun JVM's performance, would the anti-java hostility still be there?
As a programming language I find it extremely productive on the client or server, and there is an API to do pretty much anything you could want.
How long had the XML HTTPRequest been around? And now it's the bees' knees.
The question is how long has it been around for browsers other than IE. Not very long. I know I wasn't about to use something proprietary to micorosoft for any of my sites.
Its picking up steam now that its completely cross platform.
But the real move is that "Web 2.0" is rising rapidly, too, and will probably displace Java & J2EE as the primary job creator over the next two-three years.
How does AJAX and the like displace Java & J2EE?
Any server side technology can create content for dynamic web pages to pull data from. XMLHTTPRequest could even be making a call to a static page as far as the client is concerned.
I don't think they were going for 100% realism. They seemed to want a big contrast between the winter and spring. I thought it held up to what I imagined reading the book.
I did think they spent too little time on some of the bigger scenes, like the kids running over the snow colored land bridge. That sort of thing was seemed a lot better on Lord of the Rings like when the signal fires were lit on the mountains.
Do yourself a favor: watch the previews (the previews ARE awesome) but skip the movie... you just saw the good stuff.
I actually didn't think the previews did the movie justice.

The objection to Java is simply that the FOSS implementations of the VM are not up to scratch yet.
Pull down fedora core 4, and update to the latest packages.
The free java stack still isn't 100%, but man its getting close.
FC4's eclipse & Open Office2 both use it.
You might want to give eclipse another shot.

You can always ditch the pocketPC and get one of these ;)
I'm writing this from the device using opera 8
Same here. Apparently privoxy doesn't like "banner.jpg"

I like the green line
How about this ?
You really should fix this ASAP. The default is confusing and looks very much like the stories in grey are assosicated with the front-page stories.
Take a look at how much more intutive this simple change is:

Don't forget google earth.
Still waiting for the linux port of that one...
And it includes an open source implementation of the Swing UI classes.
Redhat has had an open source java stack(gcj/gij) since Fedora Core 2.
The website originally said it would ship by december third.
:)
Ooops. I meant it said it would ship on the thritieth when I ordered it. I wasn't expecting same day service
Still, The date has already been pushed back. I just don't want to be lied to for a third time.
Fry's and Circuit City have a ton of them here in phoenix,
Thanks for the info!
I've been waiting on mine from Nokia for over a month. And I live only about 15 minutes from Fry's at Arizona Mills.

The Linux BlueZ site wasn't selling anything either.
Probably not, but companies with products listed with the bluetooth logo are very likely trying to make a profit.
It still doesn't make sense though. You refered to Bluetooth in your post and I'm guessing you didn't ask Bluetooth for permission to do that.
He isn't trying to sell his post.

You got a point about the beavers.
They did look a little fuzzy. I guess I looked passed it because I enjoyed thier dialog.
The wolves looked good except for their faces, they were probably given a little too much expression.
