I believe that I have been doing this with perl and mysql. I draw the analogy this way:
My perl CGI scripts -> your ASP (VB) scripts
My perl modules -> your COM objects
MySQL -> your MS-SQL database
I use mason as my top tier also. I call perl modules that do the database calls and other more complicated computation/processing. It's my understanding that that is pretty much what COM objects do.
I've mentioned this analogy before in one of those "you can't do 3 tiered architectures in linux" debates before, but I've always been disregarded as a loon with no explanation. If this analogy doesn't hold, why not?
Note: as always, that mirror is there to help out the publishers of the original document. I'll remove it as soon as the original site becomes more usable (and I remember) or someone of reasonable authority asks me to.
What's to stop somebody from developing a Linux Distro that mirrors OS X?
Perhaps Apple would. I seem to recall some kind of lawsuit or something relating to an Enlightenment theme (perhaps called aqua) that looked a lot like a Mac OS interface. I don't remember how or if it was settled.
Anyone recall what I can't about this incident? Given the little that I can remember, I can't find any related references.
Ah, if only it where Sun's software...and that's the point.

Why then does your final sentence say...
because as it says further down, by year 15 or so, you can start using x, y, and c to replace some of the double character combinations like "ch", "sh", and "th"
I think the most peculiar part of the whole project has to be the wings.
The FAQ answers this question:
If it is a passive satellite, how can it beat its wings?
To enable its wings to beat, KEO uses a leading-edge technology:
shape memory alloys.
These are metallic alloys which are able to assume different shapes
according to different temperature ranges and revert to these
shapes each time those temperatures are reached.
In this instance, we are exploiting the difference in temperature
between shadow and sunlight, so that during its orbit around Earth,
KEO will naturally spread its wings when it is touched by the
sun's rays and fold them when it re-enters the Earth's shadow.
So no form of energy is needed to make KEO's wings function.
I can't believe they're making this thing beat its wings. Surely, the time spent figuring that part out could have been better spent. Plus, won't that make the metals break down more quickly and effect the orbit and generally cause other problems?
Although, perhaps it will intrigue our target audience enough to make them take a look at it.
3. I suppose that it will make things 'legal' when I take my generic, private libraries and classes that I've
written from one employer to the next, but who really concerns themselves about this anyway?
Me, that's who. That's illegal and they get pissed at that. Not just the employer that you stole from, either. The employer who received the stolen code will often get pissed for 2 reasons.
First, they can get sued for having/letting one of their developers use code from other companies like that.
Second, they don't want you taking your code with you when you leave.
If you must do that, then develop that stuff on your own time, and then you can use it wherever you want (or at least your employer will be more likely to allow you to). I'd reccommend that you release the source for it first, though so there are no questions about it later.
RadioShack, in and of itself, has nothing to do with the Cue:CAT other than distributing it and awaiting
results of items scanned in their catalog.
You mean where it says "Custom Manufacturered for DigitalConvergence.com in China by RadioShack A Division of Tandy Corporation, Fort Worth TX 76102" on the back of mine, that's just a typo? weird.
What's the point in renting a board in a prominent
place/time if all the newscos are going to filter it out?
because of all of the people that walk by it every day. Perhaps your expectation that all of the network news crews would film and show your billboard were unfounded.
I've got one now that I haven't heard from anyone else: My office is right next door to the electrical room. My desk is bolted to the wall that seperates the two rooms. If I put my display in the natural corner spot on the desk (where the little keyboard shelf is and the ergonomic cut out of the desk is) then the electrical interference from next door makes my display shake.
It's bad enough to give me a headache after about an hour or so. I've been working with the display awkwardly off to the side for a few days. I've been leaving a message for the facilities guy every day, but he never calls back.
Scott Bishop, if you're reading this, call me first thing Monday I just want my office fixed.
Can anyone comment on the improvements that he speaks of?
There are a couple of tidbits from kernel traffic which may be helpful. One is a discussion on Joe Pranevich's DRAFT of his The Wonderful World Of Linux 2.4. The other is the DISCUSSION of the DRAFT of a PROPOSED press release which highlights the big features for when 2.4 comes out.
If you're into finding out things before they are final and are an early adopter, these may be of use to you. They are certainly not finished documents and should not be treated as such. They may contain misleading statements, misunderstandable statements, misunderstood points, mention of features that don't make it, and/or outright lies with the intention of deceit.

Let me know if you see any more. This could soon be my only source of income.
I should know. I've got about 140 books whose spines are kinda curved from sitting upright for months.
I cannot stress this enough, people. Read the articles referenced by slashdot before you post obvious questions.
The article clearly states:
So I would imagine that the answer is "yes. Someone has checked."

I guess you'd have to settle for .int. He's the oft-forgotten little brother in the tld world.
Ignore them and use a close one according to network topology. That's what they should be asking for anyway.
Network topology != geography.
(but that still doesn't show that geographic-based naming schemes don't have their place.)
