I see a lot of posts from people thinking "server."
What I see in this tech is the ability to have BIG storage with no moving parts on a pocket device. No moving parts usually amounts to less power consumption... right?
And don't forget dopamine reuptake inhibitors like Effexor and Zoloft. (Both also seratonin reuptake inhibitors) After taking Effexor for a year, I can attest to a huge increase in attention span.
... and yeah, the suicidal thoughts are less enticing... heh.
Try konqueror. Apple is lending support to it (they use the engine for their Safari browser), so it's coming up fast in the world. And it's much lighter (even with Qt) and faster (...even with Qt). It's certainly better than Netscape4.x
Is a full-fledged computer that's small enough to fit in a large pocket with a keyboard and a high bandwidth cell connection. It should have a headphone jack that supports a set of earphones with one of those dangling mics. That way, it's a full-fledged palmtop computer that can be used as a phone without being forced into that "phoney" form factor.
And all I have to do is wait until it's available. heh.
I'm software engineer as well. I use Java daily, as well as Perl, C++, pl/sql, VB (when it absolutelyt cannot be avoided). And I use emacs. Yes, emacs. Every time I look at somebody's code after they've used IntelliJ IDEA, there's a plethora of directories and subdirectories, mostly just EMPTY, and making everything very difficult to find. UNLESS of course you happen to also be using IntelliJ IDEA. The first time I thought it was the developer in question. But the next two times I saw the same damned thing. What code should I expect to find in a directory like: src/software/src/com/presentation/src/presentation/?
Or how about:
com/WEB-INF/build/src/com/presentaion/company_name/util/action/forward/company_name/?
Everything I've ever seen produced without an IDE looks more like: com/company_name/common/ and com/company_name/net/ etc. Because it's actually created maintained by a human being, it's done SENSIBLY. But maybe you've never seen the awful wake your IDE leaves...?
They are Software Engineers using latest-generation tools and languages, design patterns and best practices, object-oriented techniques and integration technologies like message queues, not to mention web services and remoting.
My guess is that you have an MBA. In my experience only people with MBAs truly believe in the value of an IDE. (or "tool", as you very generously call those things that inhibit sensibility of source code structure)
The company I work for has many site offices around the US, and each has a file server running linux w/ samba. One of these was found next to a space heater in a closet, horribly melted, looking like a salvador dahli sculpture. It still ran, but he replaced it anyway.
Longhorn should have a BSD core. It would eliminate lots of effort on the Microsoft side. They could focus on the application layer like Apple has, and since Mono is well under way, they could simply use the mono stack - again, eliminating lots of effort. Hell, they could probably release longhorn next year.
Why bother? Microsoft should become a company that produces an office suite and games. For other OSes like BSD, Linux, Solaris, etc.
It would be SO SIMPLE actually. Since their next generation office product is intended to run on.net, just stick to the mono stack so it can run on anything. Am I nuts or should Microsoft just leave the OSes to the people who know what they're doing?
Honestly I thought the theatrical Fellowship was better paced that the extended.
The two towers was, I have to assume, shot to be the extended version and hacked, badly I might add, to reduce the time on the theater release.
Since ROTC, er, ROTK has some of the same flow problems that two towers had, I'm guessing it's the same.
So what made Fellowship different? It was the deal-maker. Fellowship had to engross the folks who hadn't read the books, so the theater release was actually more important.
And that's my 2 cents, which, adjusted for slashdot accounting, works out to approximately nothing.
And if Mono's libraries are as comprehensive and well designed (haven't fully investigated yet), I'll use that.
Maybe it's just me, but Java "feels" like the cleanest language around: strong types, immutable strings, very clear inheritance rules, no direct access to memory, no "shortcut" confusionisms (ala Perl)... and, OF COURSE, a way to throw all that out the window if there's a need.:)
If you're labeled as a potential terrorist in the new america, you'll be "secured" somewhere and won't have to worry about any cashiers in supermarkets. Heh.

I see many posts saying, "See? See? Mozilla is just as insecure as IE!"
So can somebody post a breakdown of the number of vulnerabilities found in Mozilla vs. IE?
I'm also free to consume my own excrement. I'll pass, thanks.
And that just might sway them enough to vote for the other side . . .
As long the other side is Nader, I'm ok with that. heh.
Speaking of which, the election has promted me to change my sig.

My guess would be that they're responding to your need, realizing that their current models are too Wincompatible.
Somebody manages to patent the whole concept of AI soon enough that the patent expires before implementation can occur.

It's just that they are more likely to come to light, and be contested (as far as a supreme court, maybe...)
Maybe is exactly right, if you'll remember the US Supreme court's role in the 2000 presidential election.
And then, maybe they'll defend the US Constitution against attacks like the Patriot Act.

Let go of the unpleasant present, and embrace the semi-conscious blissful ignorance of the future.

and object-oriented language. Is Kodak also going after Objective-C? C++? Python? Smalltalk?
OR is this just a ploy to further erode Sun? I'd be interested to know whether Kodak is in Microsoft's pocket.
