A billion Windows installs, that would mean at least a billion Windows re-installs every year. Advertisers would pay some serious money to advertise on those installation screens.
Does anyone know when/where/how to get a hold of a phone capable of running an open os? Information is really scares on that subject, can seem to find many answers on the openmoko site. People are developing for it, so there must be a way to get a hold of one right?

Spare parts could be scanned in and stored in an on-board computer. When they are needed a 3D printer can print them. Saves a huge amount of space and weight.
Don't focus too much on tools when it comes to planning the development of a J2EE application. I learned some lessons about this the hard way.
A well setup environment is a must in this kind of development and tools like the ones this book evolves around can put the pedal to the metal when it comes to accomplishing your goals.
BUT bear in mind that you ALWAYS need to keep a close eye on the basic structural requirements, especially the services used in the process of the application you're developing.
For instance, choosing persistence framework X because it worked wonders for everybody making a similar app and had plugins for IDE Y and would speed up development will cost you much more time than you saved if the queries it generates for your(!) needs in your(!) situation suddenly drown the database.
System engineers know all about those projects, if you knonw what I mean.
FTA: "If more programmers and SMEs approach their MEPs and go beyond the single letter, we may yet win."
But how do we as IT people explain the general public this would be a disaster to European economy?
What could start some emotion going for this issue? The customer is also going to be victimised! Low quality and low security software galore probably. But do they know?
Somehow I know this concerns everybody, not only people in the industry. Because democracy is being ignored for something a lot of people don't understand doesn't mean they can get away with it.
I see many posts about Europeans not being interested in politics and the European parliament in Brussels being corrupt.
I 'd like to remind everyone out there of the many Europeans who are very active in protesting against patents like the people of NoSoftwarePatents and the Federation for a Free Information Infrastructure, encouraging people around Europe to get a hold of their MEPs and making them aware of the importance of the matter.
Hey a lot of us went to Brussels (with bananas!) to protest February 17, there where busses organised even from Paris.
We write, fax and mail our politicians, even send them fresh fruit to show how much we care about this!
Both ways of working have the same result in the end. They both make fixed references to a fixed place in the memory (the singleton's instance is also a static variable accessible through a static method).
What benefit is there to get from storing prefs inside a singleton instance instead of making them accessible through static methods or variables? Other than cleaner code and applying the OO paradigm I can't think of any. Are there?
Open Xchange, (find it here) works marvelous, they have a live demo on their site if you'd like to check it out. It may be a little over-kill though for what you want to do with it (setting up the server is not exactly a walk in the park if you're not a systems guy). But it is free (GPL)
The first thing that sprang to mind when I saw the picture was 'did they use glue for this?' And what kind of glue or ductape would work without dissolving the cables or turning them to a permanent sticky mess?
Does anyone else have experience with this?
I can just see the next license agreements on filesharing software if this passes:
By clicking on the "ACCEPT" button, you are consenting to be not willing nor knowing that this product or the equipment that contains this product does.
If you know what you are going to use this product for and want to use it click the "DO NOT ACCEPT" button and the installation process will not continue
From the Mythica website: After a rigorous review of current and future projects, the decision was made that Mythica would not be one of the projects we would continue to invest in.
What projects you ask...
A project for learning MS programmers not to swear and teach them propper manners in their comment.
Buying early releases can also have it's downside, some of the early P'books had white spots on the screen because the built-in antennas put pressure on it. Apple corrected it afterwards I heard, take a look at the mac forum, it has become a sticky thread.

Pour some olive oil in the U-Bend, it takes ages to evaporate, stops the smell and doesn't clug the pipe should it be needed.
We are talking about the country where reading Playboy was illegal only a few years ago, check out the wikipedia page for the whole censoring frenzy.
This nice plugin just turned 1.1.0 and I can recommend it to all, EclipseME.

Like neat glow in the dark effects, hairloss, impotence ... ;o)
April fools day? ... err ... again

Reading this review, instantaniously Designing With Web Standards by Jeffrey Zeldman sprang to mind. It has also been reviewed on slashdot here.
I don't want to be looking down on the book by saying this but judging by the review it sounds like Web Design Garage is kind of a light version.
thanks, I'm going to :o)

It is a good book! Shame your post ended up down here except for people like, I was going to post the same thing.
You never take a look in the science or developer section of ./ do you.

Yep, it had a very nice playback mode. You could even record the cameramovements you made during replay and make a demo that way.
I loved showing off with those! It would be cool to have a feature like that in most 3D games.
