Would this Eclipse-based Designer support LotusScript? If so, I would be absolutely thrilled, seeing as how 99.5% of our soon-to-be "legacy" applications have zero Java content. Have you any links I can read up on? I have learned a good deal about "the future", but for LS-based solutions, so far it seems to me that we'll have to make do with what we have.
Also, yes, one could run the Designer under Wine, but then you would have no real way to ensure the quality of the product. Notes is quirky enough as it is, tenjewberrymuds, I don't need a whole 'nother layer of hopefully-workingness on top of it. Plus, of course, in this company I work for there is just no support for any of that. You get what you get, basta.
In any case, "Havenco has recently changed its business model.

The original poster says that HavenCo is no longer guaranteed to be privacy-friendly, referring to http://www.havenco.com/law.html.
I don't know what kind of "user submissions" you are going for, BritishColumbian, because their clauses seem rather fair to me. At least, nothing banning free speech on politics or privacy issues. Unless you're actually going for porn or spam, that is...
The Principality of Sealand is a non-DMCA country. However, it's information services are government regulated and specifically exclude activities such as:
* No pornography that would be considered illegal within the EU.
* No infringement of copyright. This includes warez sites and listing sites that index copyrighted material.
* No SPAM or unsolicited advertising, including opt-out e-mail lists.
* No hacking including port scans or network vulnerability testing, distributing viruses, phishing sites.
* No material that is obscene, threatening, abusive, libelous, or encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense.
Although I must say that this list can't be regarded as definite. For instance, material must not encourage a criminal offense, but according to the laws of which country? Even "pornography that would be considered illegal" differs among countries within the EU.
I'm thinking that if it can blow up high enough to be harmless, and hit the ground in one piece... there's room for a middle road. Blow up in not-so-high altitude, or be weak enough to be in one piece only until it hits the ground. Sounds possible? Would you say, even risky?
Full support would have included the Designer. All that's being ported is the client-side application. As a Notes developer (woe is me and all that jazz), I'm stuck on the Windows platform because the just can't be bothered to work on the Designer, which has had nary an update and the same old bugs for years and years. Grumble.
IBM, what you've just developed is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever used. At no point in your rambling, incoherent interface were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational program. Ah, but dear sir, Rational is a completely separate product. Would you like to see the catalogue?
Go ahead and try PC-BSD; but like anything else in this game, it's not the only one in town. If you don't like it, you might also want to try DesktopBSD.
PC-BSD has these nice ready-built binaries for installing, where DesktopBSD relies more directly on the ports (through a nice gui, with portsnap).
The legs aren't generally superior though, just superior for this single purpose (sprinting on a solid high-traction surface). It's no surprise at all, he's basically running on springs -- said as much in the report: 91% of the energy that goes into compressing the things on step-down return on step-up, which is vastly better than the 50% or so that a human ankle can do. This makes perfect sense, and to a degree I can understand the decision to disallow him to compete.
But on the other hand, it's brought to light an old thought of mine, because I've seen those springy "shoes" before: if they are so much more effective, then why don't we see more springs in regular running shoes? I mean sure, for competitions there might be strict rules (as for racing bicycles, for instance), but for amateur or non-competition use there should be a huge benefit to incorporating springs. Maybe not as exaggerated as in disabled runners' "feet" (because care and training would be involved), but some form of booster between the shoe and the sole should be possible, as more than a mere kid's toy that is.
If people are walking, running, skating and biking across town, why not add 'bouncing' to the mix!:-)
I wasn't offensive, and, if I sounded that way, I'm sorry. No need to be! Your post was informative and to the point. That statement was meant for Eivind whose post I replied to, but I can see it could be read differently.
I'm no thermal engineer, so I have no idea of the amount of energy that a "black" and "truly black" body absorbs, or radiates for that matter. If it's just a five or ten degree increase then that's no big deal for sure.
FYI, I did not take Physics 101, as I'm on the wrong side of the planet for that. I recall no mention of Black Body Radiation in the physics classes I have taken (so thanks for that link, vbraga). See, no need to be offensive.
What I'm wondering is how much hotter than a "regularly black" panel one of these would become. There's a difference between being visibly black (which basically means it just reflects an unimpressive but equal amount of all wavelenghts) and actually absorbing all light.
In order to be black from all angles, it would have to absorb all the energy. That's what I'm wondering -- if indeed it absorbs all light energy, would it not get awfully hot? I'm thinking that unless you actually have serious cooling behind it (as in a steam solar cell) a panel of this stuff would be a fire hazard to its surroundings.
Wrong question. ODF is a document format, it defines the form of the data.
See, I never quite understood this, maybe you're the one who can explain it.
I know that the "texteditor.document.new()" command can be issued in any language. But what about scripts that will be stored within the document, won't they have to be in some predetermined, or at least runtime-determinable, language? I'm thinking of spreadsheet formulas, form buttons in text documents, and so on.
Yeah I played it once, with --I mean against-- two friends who were expert players, and I got thoroughly mauled. As I was trying to figure out which of the various structures would allow me to build something akin to infantry, my base was overrun by dozens of bad guys.
You know, I'll stick to BZFlag and Port of Call. I know those.
The same is going on for copper. I guess there are too many wires in the world?
It actually annoys me to no end that I don't have a better option than to discard aluminium(!) foil wrappers with the kitchen garbage. It's such a waste.
Extracting [Helium] from the atmosphere is not cost-effective. The US [...] stopped stockpiling it in 1995 as a cost-saving measure.
Not cost-effective, eh? Well, in nine years, it will be! When your options are to use hydrogen, or tro to convince your friendly neighbourhood refinery to start capturing helium, then it will darn well be cost-effective to buy my extracted-from-the-sky-and-stockpiled-in-my-bunker helium instead...
You forgot to disable broadcasting of your SSID. Really, does that even matter? Is the difference not just "MyHomeWifi" or "Unnamed wifi detected"?
I've got my wifi locked down pretty tight too, but I just didn't bother disabling the SSID, given I think that's all the difference there is. I'd rather have the tiny convenience to know which of the 6 local clouds is mine.
Num Lock still has some use [...] some "compact" keyboard (laptops) share keys and need it Has there EVER been made any constructive use of the numpad overlay on a laptop? All it does is annoy the heck out of me, because it's not bright enough to detect an external keyboard (use numlock if docked, disable if mobile).
You know, the more I think of it, that taser idea isn't all that bad.
But they'd have to be one-shot devices, be able to stun a fellow for a good while, and be placed at every seat. Then, the worst you could have was one half of the passengers disabling the other half. At least, I'd think that any one person (or small group) would have a hard time keeping everybody else in check; you'd need a fairly large group to resist an uprising and still have a bad guy left standing with his wits about him.
Which reminds me of that (very possibly fictitious) story of the man who bought a taser for his wife, but just had to go and try it first, on him self no less. trifive.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9893

Count me in (err out?) on that.
... I'd hate to insist on missing that.
I wouldn't mind seeing the US as a tourist some day, but I can just as well do without that experience. I wonder if it will ever return to 'normal'.
I just hope there won't be some to-die-for conference or such

'nuff said.
I didn't read any patriotism in his post, just the explicit lack of racism. As such, it's a nice post.
I find patriotism highly loathsome, but it's a separate issue so let's leave that for another day.
