In the late 90s I was able to produce spectacular performance with OS/2, DB2, Java and Caucho's Resin (a Java httpd) while serving dynamic web pages. Due to the (server) stability of OS/2 and its multi threaded nature, IBMs commitment to Java, DB2 wih Java integration and early XML/XSL implementations, I was able to produce a bleeding edge content management system. I'm talking approx. 1997 to 2001. When IBM killed off OS/2 I switched to Linux which by then had Java implementations that could match OS/2s, also by IBM. You can guess I have fond memories of OS/2.
The intention of cloud music services like Amazon's (and Google's, and Apple's, and Ubuntu's...) is to provide a convenient way to access your music from anywhere at any time.
No the purpose of cloud players is to keep track of what users listen to.
That tracking is actually a feature that benefits the artist who actually gets royalties when played (which is tracked). This way cloud services like iTunes Match and this Amazon service get to 'legalize' all your illegally downloaded music. The artists eventually (if you play them) get paid fairly.
In the midst of all the humbug about illegal downloading and the music industry going down the drain, I find this a very sympathetic feature.
As has already been pointed out (sarcastically) there's plenty of original content on YouTube already, so what's new about this is that it's professional? How exactly are they defining professional though?
The article means original content BY YouTube themselve as I read it. YouTube is going to compete with the producers you talk about.
Isn't it common practice to shoot looters on the act?
Not in civilized countries.
Looting hard working social peers is way off limits AFAIK.
Shooting people for any reason except to protect the life of other people is even farther off the limits.
Well, once people revert to looting other innocent people as a hooligan passtime they disqualify themselfs as a member of said 'civilized' society IMO.
Isn't it common practice to shoot looters on the act? Or does that only apply in war? Protesting is one thing. Looting hard working social peers is way off limits AFAIK.
Capped data plans won't kill the cloud. Capping will only be a temporary inconvenience (until capping is gone through competition between carriers).
There are nice-to-have cloud syncs that use a lot of data (music, video, images) and need-to-have cloud syncs (mail, calendar, documents). The urgens syncs usually fit in a data plan. The 'leisure' syncs can be done whilst on wifi.
The real inconvenience will be data roaming charges (eg abroad) where they charge you an arm and a leg for everything:(
Yo dawg! I heard you like to sue while you troll, so we put a patent in your patent so you can troll when you sue.
Fond memories of never running Windows 95 and up

Windows 95 Turns 15
·
· Score: 1
Some time before Win95 came out I had already switched to OS/2, which I kept using far beyond 2000 upto the moment that I switched to Linux. When Apple OSX was released I switched to that fairly quick.
Neither OS/2 nor Linux was ideal, but it made me so happy not to have to use Win95 (and up).
For my work I mainly used the command line, and my servers ran OS/2 and Linux as well (DB/2 and Java), so that turned out pretty good.
People tended to laugh at me for being so recalcitrant with my OS choice. Yet I managed to reach financial independence in doing so. And I tend to believe that choosing my OS had unimportant role in that because we depended on speed and uptime for our business.
Therefore I want to thank Microsoft in retrospect for showing me how bad they sucked at OS development and innovation during my use of Windows 3.0 and 3.1 making me stay away from their products from then on.
And cutting-off people with basic services like 1 Mbit/s cable internet, DSL, or slow 56k dialup. Forcing people to faster speeds that they either don't have, or don't want, is irresponsible of the website owner
That's exactly what Youtube does. Offer the same video in 360p, 480p and HD. Everyone's a winner.
And 56K dialup people should really stay out of the internet-video discussion. We're also not asking Henry Ford to comment on the SLS AMG.
I miss Wolfenstein 3D (the original game) in the list. AFAIK that was the 1st 3D FPS some time before DOOM. I understand that "From DOOM to Dunia" alliterates better, but to disregard Wolfenstein 3D alltogether?
Oh give me a break. For server-side development Java is still king in the performance and feaure department. Perhaps Mono/.NET/MS it catching on, but that's only due to comprehensive copycatting of Java technology.
Although I agree we shouldn't underestimate MS copycatting...
>No, the price difference is so the Faithful can run around flaunting their glowing logo and think they are superior people. Bah.
Some people wear a Swatch, other people wear an IWC watch. Both tell the same time, one costs 60X what the other costs. Usually because they can afford it, and because they appreciate the quality difference. Does that make them feel superiour to the other people? Probably not, but judging from your response you seem to think they do. So who's the bigot here?
... a guy who's genuinely annoyed with a bug he can't get resolution for from Apple.
Be interesting to see how quickly Apple coughs up a fix...
If I were Rush I wouldn't hold my breath. He's not the only one with problems, and so far Apple is doing a Half Assed Job fixing them. As stable as OS X 10.4.x was, so quirky is 10.5.x upto now. You might even call it shameful.
I wonder if Steve and Rush reconcile, and that we (Apple users) all benefit from that:-/
Since it can be edited by everybody, it is prone to abuse. Nip it in the bud!
On the other hand, the nofolow attribute doesn't take away anything from Wikipedia's semantic (and only relevant) value.
Ergo: No problemo!

Understanding Burnout
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
Burnout isn't work related. It's stress related. You can also burn out on other places than the workplace. Too much stress, for too long without relief results in Burnout. Stress itself isn't the problem either, it's healthy and can cause you to excell. It's the long periods without relief that's the killer.
Apparently Wikipedia has over 1.5 million english articles alone. So your calculation of the percentage of 'problematic' articles is even more favourable. Of those 142 eledgedly 'problematic' articles only a few really seem to be a problem as the others originated from the public domain to begin with.
Sounds like much ado about nothing once more. *yawn*
...communist government in the Indian state of Kerala is trying to remove Microsoft from its public institutions, as part of a campaign against monopolistic corporations.
Irony? Communism is a totalitarian political system, isn't it? Apparently the government wants the monopoly on monopolism as well...

There, I called them out.
Never have I understood the appeal of a glorified taxi central. But then I’m from the time when BOO.COM was worth a fortune (shortly).

That's a cool Instagram filter they used. Anyone know which it is?

Why don't they use (invest in) Quercus on Java instead? Compiles PHP to Java classes (like JSP) and works blazingly fast: http://caucho.com/resin-3.1/doc/quercus.xtp#compiling
I wonder why we don't here more about Quercus in the PHP world...

Big corporations are such sore losers when their DRM/lockdown/lock-in systems are broken.
If SONY were a good sport they'd be proud their signing/encryption took this long to crack.

VP8 is aimed *specifically* at this kind of resolution. It's why it's great for YouTube...
Youtube and the like are all moving towards HD. 480p is normal already, 720p and 1080p are becoming normal really fast on the web.

I also live in an iron-clad home far from any neighbors. But that's because I'm allergic to the neigbours.

Of course this is an April fools joke. The VIN isn't included in the radio signals of the TPMS sensors!
