I'm glad you can tell me exactly how things work at Microsoft and Apple, since you've worked at them both. What groups did you work in? Oh, you're still in college?
You made it blatantly obvious with this post you don't have a clue what goes on in either Microsoft or Apple.
I had the exact same experience. It was in a loop, downloading the file and restarting the browser. After I manually downloaded the installer it went through fine.
Ok, Rolling Stones, the best rock band of all time...
or Madonna
Ok, Madonna, huge pop artist, changed the face of pop culture in the 80s...
or Coldplay
Coldplay? Coldplay?!?! Sure, they've got a few popular songs, but what have they ever done besides bang Gwenyth Paltrow? (Well, one of them, anyway.) Putting them in with the Stones is like putting the doodles I did in my notebook at my staff meeting today in with a Monet exhibit.
Argh, do these open source email clients really have to directly clone Outlook's UI? (See Evolution.) I admit, it's a pretty nice interface. And a version of Outlook that had IMAP support which could be categorized as anything other than demoralizing would certainly be welcome.
But come on, with all the brain power working on these things I'd like to see someone come up with another way of working with email.
Opera's M2 is on the right track, I think, but I'm also unable to use it regularly because of IMAP issues.
I'll reiterate, the way I posted is the proper way. As the previous poster said your way is not safe for concurrent inserts. I work at Oracle in the apps development group.
Triggers are pretty important- if you're used to auto_increment fields in MySQL, in order to do it with Oracle (at least 9i.. I don't know much about 10g), you need to create a sequence, and then a trigger which will pull the next value out of the sequence and put it into the field (if it's null). While you have much more flexibility this way, it takes about 5 minutes to do something which would take a half-second in MySQL.
You do not need to use a trigger for this, although you do need to use a sequence. The proper way of doing this, if you have a table with for example an employee id and name, is:
insert into employees (id, name) values (sequence.nextval, 'the name')
Public ownership means the corporate executives have a duty to the shareholders to maximize their value (i.e. keep the stock price high). The shareholders are, after all, the owners. You don't tell the owners to go take a flying fuck.
Even if they're making money, are they making enough money? Are they making the right strategic decisions? The shareholders invested a ton of capital in Novell, are the executives making the best use of it?

Yeah, the "Crap Web Pages" filter on Google isn't working that well yet, it's still in beta: http://crapfilter.google.com/ .
Every time I convince myself I'm as cynical as I can be, something like this pops up, and I realize I'm still my old naive self.
I had assumed these companies were just handfuls of unethical developers. I can't believe VC firms are putting 10s of millions of dollars into these outfits.
People! Microsoft is not buying Peoplesoft. Oracle bought Peoplesoft already. Microsoft is talking about stealing Peoplesoft customers who would otherwise be under support contracts with Oracle.
"When you put them together, out jumps a security flaw," said Dan Wallach, an assistant professor of computer science at Rice in Houston, who, with two graduate students, Seth Fogarty and Seth Nielson, discovered the flaw last month. "These are subtle problems,
and it takes a lot of experience to ferret out this kind of flaw," Professor Wallach said.
I'm sick of people claiming this is capitalism, it's mercantilism, there is a difference. Don't assume that anything done by our current government necessarily makes it capitalist.
I was just thinking about this exact same thing the other day. This is what makes it so hard to be a lawyer and/or understand the law in the US -- not only do you have to know the laws, but you have to know all of the relevant case law as well so you can know how various judges have interpreted it. This, as you say, is totally assinine. One judge makes a bad ruling and it's going to take a Supreme Court decision to get it undone.
Myself (and a few people I know) already have the Kyocera QCP-6035 (the PDA/phone in the article). They've been available (on the East coast at least) through Verizon for a while now, and Sprint will have them as well next quarter.
Congratulations, you just invented Sun's Java Web Start. Seriously though, this just came out recently and looks to be the exact direction Sun is taking to try and revive client-side Java.
Probably the best example of XML being used in this manner is Apache's configuration files.
They're not XML; parts of them just look like they are.
While that implementation clean enough, it doesn't confer any kind of special benefits that I can see over an INI style file.
It's very natural to do things hierarchically. BTW, if they were really XML you wouldn't think it was so clean, they would look much different than they do today.

And they're HTML::Mason newbies too!;-) See that/mason in the URL? That's how
you initially set up Mason until you figure it out and get everything working. I guess it doesn't do any harm leaving it in there, but it looks pretty goofy. (HTML::Mason is a really cool HTML templating package for Perl.)

Sorry, that's uninformed.

That was a wakeup call.

That's exactly what's going to happen.

WTF? Want a cookie there Professor Wallach?
Hmm, and I thought it was called #ifdef.

MS uses the BSD IP stack? I don't think that's any more than a rumor. Can you provide a reference to back that up?

It did. Solaris has been supporting x86 since it was in the 2s (I forget the exact version). The easy access and open code of Linux were also key.
--jbIt's too bad, too: you have to admit Visual J++ was by far the best Java IDE at the time aside from all the Windows-specific crap.
It depends on what you're doing. For server-side stuff, the Sparc/Solaris JVM is the best.
