Why would that even work... once the kidnapper sees the "larger device" they are sure to throw it away... Once you are a foot or so away the RFID would be out of range and then the best they could do is find the "larger device"... which is not you... Why not just buy a cell phone and call someone when you get kidnapped, it would be just as conspicuous.
Picasa and Google Earth were created by other companies that google acquired. Using WINE to port windows software to linux is just the path of least resistance. I wonder why Lively doesn't use Java3d and applets?//this is a joke...
I am always disheartened by the fact that people who hold highly paid jobs can't seem to understand simple technical concepts. CDs are a digital format! The data on a CD and/or DVD is digital. The music industry hasn't released music on analog formats for years, with the exception of some specialty vinyl record sales mostly for DJ's. If he is saying they should stop releasing music on tape and record I think he might have a point, but not a very interesting one... If he is saying they should be selling music over the internet via compressed digital formats for direct download... well... then he should say that...
There are some other options like Xith 3D that came out after Java 3D was abandoned and before it was open sourced... Java 3D feels very dead to me, so I wonder why so much gets written about it (in the form of books mostly). If I was interested in scene graph based 3d in Java, Java3D would be my last choice...
cifs... Users cannot seem to mount drives (even if you explicitly allow them to)... and it seems to have problems with directories with a lot of files in the (>1000) which is ironic considering they switched to cifs to allow the protocol to handle large files. All in all it does work... just with some caveats.
Could this also be because more people are using Fedora--more new users, or more users doing difficult things...
I think the biggest difference is the yum is really slow (and I cant figure out why)... and that I often have to enable and disable an ever growing set of rpm repositories.
Real java projects generally use ant as the main build method, show them how to set up aq project with ant for the first half of the class.. Show them the command line tools and emacs of vi, Then let them take that same project and run it in eclipse... Programming on a modern IDE is a completly different experience then emacs... But both are valuable...
Is the part about grails... This is starting to look intresting, and would allow me to combine my lust for Ruby on Rails with my knowledge of all things java... And since it runs in a J2EE appserver I bet companies would actually use it... Groovy is looking very nice now that they have figured out some of the syntax issues... I would love to have closures and method injection for some of my code, and typesafe java everywhere else...
Open source Java would be great, swing and J2EE would really benifit from more community engagement... I would love to see a linux distro that really endorsed java (like fedora is going), swing is a very powerful platform, and it would be nice to see some real desktop apps built on it... With the proper licence we might start to see companies see linux as the best platform to run java and that would really spur java desktop and linux desktop development. But why would they endorse PHP? Arguably J3EE deployment is simpler then php, and if it were open source I think the kind of cheep hosting that is available for php would become available for java. What is so great about php or python or perl, they have VMs but they just arnt as fast... What does php have that JSF or tapasrty don't, besides dynamic typing. JSF is about as easy to learn as Ruby on Rails... But at the end of the day the HotSpot JVM is a really kick ass technology, that could really be used for the next big thing....
After spending the last two weekends trouble shooting JasperReports that it is very close to being ready for prime time... But I can also say it IS NOT threak safe!!!!! But now that I know this everything is fine.
Im to expert in neural networks but don't they use a technique called back propagation for refineing the connection between nodes... it seems to me that these rats brains must be using a similar technique? Does anyone know if research like this is being used to better neural nets in AI?
I wonder how hard it would be to build a newtonscript rip off that would run under a jvm (for the zareus)... Or just port squeek or eclipse, so it runs on a tiny screen, and works well with HWR. No matter what, with out really good open source handwriting recognition, it wouldn't be very cool...
I'm not sure if the handwriting recognition was signifigantly better on NewtonOS then it is in todays iterations, such as windows tablet edition... but one thing is certain the applications/OS that windowsCE/PocketPC/windows tablet edition used isn't built around using a stylus. The gui is a traditional mouse gui with a small screen and a single clieck (for the most part) interface. Newtons were built to be written on, you could draw graphics that would be recognized as vectors and then move the handles around, write anywhere, just tap to put the carrot down and start writing, much cleaner, much better then calligraphy, and fully integrated. I think pocketpc was designed to make porting desktop apps possible (although pocket word is no word). NewtonOS reminds me more of squeek (the smalltalk platform) or hypercard or opendoc where applications can mix and match peices together in a neat notpad like gui. I really wish that there was a newton like pda with a built in IDE, with ruby like syntax... I can imagine coding up software on the fly to do little things for me, but I digress. None the less newton OS was really cool, I wish there was something like it today because I would buy it...
Sun java studio creator is netbeans 4.1 with some added propriatary plugins for drag and drop JSF coding... And eventually it should pull in nebeans 5.0 features as well. Drag and drop JSF is very important if you work in a shop that is constantly teatering towards ASP.NET because it is basically the same product. If you work with people who don't have the greatest skill set this can make them productive at building web gui, and netbeans/swing will always be better at building stand alone swing apps then eclipses attempts. Netbeans is much better then it used to be, but it is still occward in a lot of ways. The one standout feature that I like about netbeans is that ant is integrated into the IDE much more completely, there is no way to build a netbeans project without haveing a working ant script that can also be run on the command line. Other IDE's don't force your hand the same way, and I really hate projects that are not written in such a way that you can just check them out of CVS and build them/deploy ear files... Also netbeans 5.0 has a profiler that is still not working very well, but when it does work it will be a very nice addition. On the other hand eclipse is really very easy to work with, and works very well. The GUI is very nice and very consistent, but I think that swing has the possibility of being much better then SWT, so feel free to ridicule spelling errors in this post and call me an idiot.
I think it is the other way around... People started making verions of mozilla that fit in nicely with MacOS X and gnome, which inspired firefox to unify the newer crop of mozilla based webbrowsers... firefox just happens to look nice on windows, to me it is a gnome app all the way...

Adopt JavaFX in Java Applets!
I am a 30 year old male, what should I be doing right now to increase my life span?
You just did...

Could it have been the change of CEO?

There is also a correlation between lower IQ and religious devotions... What is your point...

This will be the defautl it 1.6.. (Antialiasing and clear text in swing)
