Makes me think that one could have some pretty racy screensavers and wallpaper. Actually could be really cool for party decorations and holidays.
Would also be cool if you put up a divx/mp2 of some Ron Jermey film for all the neighbors and potential home buyers in the area to see as they drive by. Bet you get a few wives coming over to sell the girl scout cookies.
Makes you wonder that if after appyling all the patches needed to make Windows operate properly and securely, will it be a complete re-write of the original code?
Yeah, I built a little robot that kinda chased my kids around...that was all fine and good til he decided to Rage Against the Machine. There are still lego pieces in the fishtank.
Great product, glad to see it is still going.
Like to see that large plasma work at 8000+ feet

I've heard of bad things happening to plasma sets in high altitudes (http://www.plasmatvbuyingguide.com/plasmatv/plasm atv-altitude.html)
What I don't quite understand is that my 60" Sony LCD set has a high altidue setting but it gives no reason why.
No question that C is faster than Java, but with a properly tuned JVM, I can get performance pretty close. The biggest penalty I saw was in startup. Besides the standard command line args, if you don't know what jvm.cfg check it out and learn how to use it.
Didn't replayTV try something like that and get the crap beat of of them by the NAB (national broadcasters association) or the like? They want you only to watch what they say you can watch. I know they have a problem with people being able to watch tv shows from markets they don't live in. As for non-public shows, the cable/sat/media companies only want you to watch what you pay for and being able to record something and then let someone else watch it who originally didn't subscribe to the material is not in their best interests. I guess if some DRM scheme became available to manage who can share what with whom then it may become a reality, but don't refresh the tivo homepage anytime soon:)
I believe under the black cersored block you will find either a KDE or gnome logo and NASA didn't want to deal with SCO lawsuits (despite SCO behaving as if they are from another planet)
e****lon is not used by elected officials, rather it is used by "agencies" of which most of the people are appointed or assigned to. Now the information gathered by such means may make its way to some elected official(s), but more often than not the information is seldom used by elected officials. Instead they only have the power to control *how* said information is used.
Get a security clearance and try to land a job in the DoD world (actually the process is vice versa). Anyway, I don't see the DoD or other national security jobs being outsourced to an overseas company. They may still outsource some IT functions, but most likely it will be to an American company and perferrably to people with clearances. Sure the pay may not be as good and there is enough red tape to drive a person crazy, but if you want job security for the next 4-8 years, it may be one option to consider.
Who really posted this? The GM of the Red Sox...come on, A-Rod doesn't read/.
Most of your points are wrong, moot, or written out of ignorance save the subway costs and airport locations.
And you can't say Boston isn't "dirty and unpredictable"...after all, it is called "Bean Town", which we all know is the magical fruit:)
SCO, oh SCO, why did you go?
Oh because a judge finally made it so.
For $699 you thought you could buy execs and lawyers big boats.
Now the world sees that you no longer float.
I don't see IntelliJ being "light years" ahead of Eclipse and the lack of concrete examples of how it is *that* much better gives me reason to believe you are just speaking out of ignorant bliss rather than having tried Eclipse lately. Give me ten areas where it is light years ahead and I might consider trying IntelliJ again.
Part of the problem with LNP is that many of the carriers are tied up in old processes for handling such things as NP. Having worked on a piece of software for LNP, I came to realize what a mess this was going to be. A great number of number "clearinghouses" still process number changes via fax (i.e. someone fills out a fax form by hand, although some are machine generated and then the faxed form gets processed by a human on the other side of the loop) There were even cames were corba request would result in a fax generation that would then be ocr'd into a system for processing. LNP as it is implemented today is a patch on top of a patch on top of a patch. Things actually looked better for wireless to wireless LNP since they had more up-to-date processes, but land line wireless looked to be a complete mess. Should be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
I think you are right on here. EJBs are really a component model, not an object one. As such components don't map real well to persistence. That is where implemtations such as JDO come in--they fill that need (weakness) in the current EJB model. There is talk of CMP beans implementations that support JDO (ouch metadata overload) or even JDO replacing entity EJBs someday. Oh, life as an object will be interesting (well if it wants to save itself)

Give 10 software developers the same problem and you are guaranteed to get at least 11 different solutions
toysrus had them last time I checked as did ebay (search lego mindstorm)
Who said the robot didn't win :)

I think if you read between lines, Bush is saying we need to invade the moon because it has WMDs
Everyone knows the moon is made of cheese and if the cow can jump over it, I know we can get there again too.
This would make for a couple of great "Behold the Power of Cheese" commericials...provided you don't tivo/replay skip them that is
Just wondering....

Actually there is a design pattern called the "template pattern"
