TestDrive is connected to the Internet by a 512Kbps DSL link.It runs NX Server Enterprise Edition, configured to execute, at the most, 20 concurrent Linux sessions.
Hmmmmmmmmm......yup, they're definitely prepared to be a/. celebrity.....
Kind of sad really since the movie is so untypical Hollywood in every way
Are we talking the same movie here???? If you don't remember The Matrix is a zillion dollars productions with bloated CG effects & action scenes + practically no acting. Yeah, it's sweet, but don't say it ain't Hollywood.....
The indemnification program is limited to customers who receive a Linux distribution from HP, run it on HP hardware and have a support contract with HP.
It was perfectly possible to go for 2 out of 3. For example "Linux distribution from HP and support contract" should have been enough, so I do believe that it is indeed a tiny catch.
But, not such a big deal anyway, as someone having a support contract with them is very probably using their equipment.
His opinion (not mine) is that Java doesn't have a niche in which it fares better than it's respective competitors which are less compromising in a one-size-fits-all kind of way.
But it has. Wondering what the standard language of choice for Embedded device applications developpment will be/is?? Well you found it.
Want a rapid development for a web application with GUI-like capabilites??? Why not Java?(I'm sure I'll get at least one answer of this one, as I do see it even now, but let someone else get the Karma;oPP) etc. Java surely has some great ideas and already an ENORMOUS library. I'm ready to count on those things to be here to stay for some years. [OT] The only thing I ever approached to Java was that it win much over C++, simply because at the time there was *not* a full compiler support(heck it wasn't there till an year or two ago and we're still wating for compiler compatibility) and there was a lack of high-quality C++ programmers, thus educating the youth in Java was far simple than going on with C++ which was a pain even for some university staffs(and yes, talking from personal experience here.).

A project done in Java will cost 5 times as much, take twice as long, and be harder to maintain than a project done in a scripting language such as PHP or Perl
This guys is a troll. With all my respect, he doesn't bring any actual arguments with the exception of how difficult binding variables is. Should I also add that he's looking only in a matter of web based project's depending on a SQL-type DB???? Oh and last:
take twice as long, and be harder to maintain than a project done in a scripting language such as PHP or Perl..
Java has never been intended to substitute scripting languages. Of course a project done with PHP and/or Perl will go much faster!!! Both are able to execute almost eveyrthing you throw at them, but you may say exactly the same thing about C++ and PHP/Perl and it will be evenly unfair. PS: And this said from a C++ zealot;oP
Do you have methods in place to prevent GPL source code from being improperly inserted into your proprietary software? Would you be willing to allow us to check for such violations? We particularly wish to check your Linux Kernel Personality (LKP) source code. We suspect that there may be GPL source code taken from the Linux kernel and used in LKP without authorization, and we challenge you to prove this has not happened by showing us your LKP source code, throughout its complete development history to date.
That's the first time I see this connection being made. I'm not familiar with SCO's products, so if someone may give a bit more info on what LKP exactly is I should be grateful.
Also, is this some new "official" rumour or it's being floating around for a while????
Don't know if you mean all of these or just one, but for the price - take a look of the Acer laptops. They're betting 90% of their graphics for the low end models on S3 mobility chips and even if it's far enough from the Ati 320IGP, or the nVidia GeForce 448/420 for the the S3 card does sound good for where ordinary you get nothing more than a all in one mb.
PS: This said, for the last 3 months there're several very competitive offers from Toshiba with nVidia's and it looks like the Acer move will finish without a big bang, but they give it a try, so S3 does still provide cheap alternatives on some markets.
Again, of course I do know that Flash is ported and that's what I meant about plug-ins. Sure you don't need to go any further if all you want is view a.swf, but the SHOCKWAVE player is still not available for Linux/Mozilla and in the initial post it was well said SHOCKWAVE, not Flash.
There IS a difference.
have a read only, run anywhere presentation format
Am I missing something or Shockwave has been ported to other OS-s(besides Win) since the last time I checked??? I agree that.swf may be *EVENTUALLY* cross-platform with the appropriate plug-ins, but Shockwave, wtF??
Is there anyone here on/.(which includes a 90% of the audience of such article anyway, let's face it...) who didn't patched all Win PC's(if any;oPPP) on the first notice of the exploit a week ago???? That's why we should have a new "+5 Sad" moderation.....
But it can be.
I've adopted the habit to always search for a rapid solution of a problem and then once I have a functional code I start to optimize,build, rebuild and defragment it in smaller modules.
I Have a friend who at the same time is uncapable of coding anything at all before writing down some project design notes on paper.
You'll be surprised how often at the end we arrive at the same solution(at least we're surprised;o))).
So,back on your point, fast coding != robust, durable, re-usable code, but I don't really see a way to put a note on those for a competition purposes or am I wrong?????
It's quiet easy to write C code that does not compile on C++ compilers(malloc() casts anyone??? etc.), so the answer to this question is more likely to be: "Yes, you may write C code and it'll be accepted as long as it compiles on our compiler package.".

duh-whats-a-compiler will be substantially less of a pure good thing for MY Linux experience than the the first 1,000 kernel contributors were.
You forgot that the developers are those that give birth and educate, but it's the users that become close lifetime friends.
The people who use a software(even on some profan level) certainly are not so useful for the products development as the programmers team, but are crucial to its survival. A product will die without its users and gaining a larger user DB can not be a bad thing.
... if its members are prohibited from calling people who do not want to be called, then two million telemarketers will lose their jobs. Of course, you could use pretty much the same reasoning to argue that laws against mugging cause unemployment among muggers.
Sure telemarketing is "evil", but don't compare criminals with people actually doing a *legal* job. Sure, it's annoying for the customer(maybe even more..), but they're not breaking any laws, so the "pretty much" is pretty much a troll.
Besides, there can't be a perfect WM. I don't want KDE 3 on a P166, there I'd use IceWM or Enlightenment.
Actually I prefer IceWM or xfce not because of some old hardware(although sometimes this can be an issue, I'm on a laptop with 800Mhz Coppermine), but rather becasue I really don't have anything against installing all the software I need by myself, thus I'm looking for a Windows Manager not an entire desktop solution.
On the "One desktop to rule them all" rant, I'm certainly not the only one to think that it's not so bad at all to have diversity "even" on the Desktop choice. Yes, some users gets confused, yes, there're compatibility problems(heck, I hate when one really *needs* to run a gtk program on KDE PC or QT one on Gnome station), but at the end I tend to agree with you that people should "deal with it" and adopt one or another. The futur will show if we'll have a "winner"...
All this boils down to show that nVidia are still strugling with full DX9 support on their chips. It is quiet probable that if the game was based on DX8 instead of 60/30 we had 80/80. ATI are still ahead in the implementation of DX9 features.
A proof we need new moderation system. It would have been nice to "moderate the moderators" on this post as +5 Funny, because of the informative rating;o)))))) Unless I'm missing something;o?
