The webserver was on the disk a year ago. Sure I was impressed back then. But then again, It's just to darn expensive.
Hmm, makes me wonder why slashdot use the Amiga logo. Isn't amiga "officially" dead as a GPOS now, or will Gateway crawl back to QNX and say sorry we left you, we wish to work with you after all?
And then everything will offcourse be OK, and we will be having our Black Nextgen Amiga boxes after all.
The patent has been a well-kept secret till now; now we will make it known. Many people are shocked to hear what this is. You will [??? hear from us?] if you try to do e-commerce and avoid the Bellboy patent, says Wilhelmsen to digi.no.
Is more accurately translated to:
Our patent has been a well kept secret, now we are going to make it public. Most people get pretty shocked when they realize what this patent means. You are going to be pretty clever if you are trying to do E-commerce and at the same time avoid the Bellboy-patent, says Wilhelmsen to digi.no
-- snipped and more interesting stuff follows:
He won't even try to estimate what kind of licence fees he will try to collect. An agreement with Amadeus alone could give an astronomical income if Bellboy gets a few øre (hundreth of a *.no krone) in userfees for each european air passager towards year 2013.
To collect the license fees from the E-shops in Norway and the rest of Europe, Bellboy collected 6 million kroner around christmas.
Now we are seeking proper investors and alliances, says Wilhelmsen, but won't name anyone specific yet. Digi.no says the financial celebrity (Note! May be a financial celebrity in Norway, but certainly not one I have ever heard about, maybe because I am not into finances:) )Jan Haudemann Andersen may be one of the investors Bellboy is in contact with.
The company also needs finances in the battle against different parties that try to invalidate? the patent in The United States, Canada and Japan. Bellboy is also going to make an ordering system that sells reservation services to different parties.
Now why is it that all these companies seem to have these shitty build processes and not the standard (at least GNU standard:-)./configure ; make ; make install.
Wouldn't they benefit from a simpler build process themselves?
This warnock guy openly admits that Photoshop build process is shite! I feel deep down that I should not have any respect for a product who's build process is shite:P
Most of the opensource software I use seem to have a very good/simple build process and documentation. In fact the only time I have run into some weirdness was with abiword, and with QT, and both are corporate stuff.
Now. I probably could built those If I spent some more time on them, but I was put off initially and decided to not use any more time fiddling with them.
I am not trying to say negative about abiword here, I like abiword from what I have seen off it but it seemed the build process was "nonstandard", I may offcourse also remember incorrectly.
Too bad adobe acrobat reader for linux is the uttermost piece of shit I have ever used.
Not only is it ugly (motif). The rendering is so slow that the thing locked hard on me, blocking all input from the keyboard. This was trying to read a 200k pdf file on my 233 mmx. I ended up using xpdf, which was atleast usable.
And for pdf files to be converted to html. I could not find any usable software to do this for free. And do the commercial ones produce clean html?
Well the roblimo link, seems to point back to TechSightings which seems to be a part of the Andover network. So I guess that the guy is some Andover guy.
Slashdot Mirror
Or get larger eyes.
I totally agree, the ability to do fullscreen browsing is cool.

Actually this part:

The fact that he is denying that he is making fun of windows on the email page is what makes it so funny :P
It is very obvious that he is making fun of windows, but it might not be obvious for everyone. lol
Me like black boxes *drool*

Maybe Roblimo is Robin Miller on this page ?
Anyways I think the parody had some fun parts in it. especially the part about "activating" inside your box. lol
An interesting aspect i noticed was that andover.net has released the perl source for Tech Sitings :-)
Stop talking bull you FUDmeister, all the links work. You just have to enable the level 2 cache in your browser an login as an AC.
I downloaded the mp3 and I almost the laughed myself to death. It was very funny. Keep up with this.
I didn't test the realaudio stuff, but I could tell that the audio levels were to high and saturated.
Cool sound effects. hehe. I love the part where you are talking about all the stuff you could do in post production :-)
