Lets say that you didn't create the database. Now you must remake every piece of code to work with the data. Lets hope that you didn't make any mistake or miss any important thing that had to be done when processing the data. Lets hope that it is not a banking solution processing my money. Lets hope that you are not working in a group and someone else screws up.
Use the procedures in your software when something SHOULD be done. Use stored procedures in the database when something MUST be done.
I believe that there is a right tool for each job.
Linux is great but Windows will still be needed for running apps like those from Adobe-Macromedia. Of course, you could also use Macs but those can be expensive.

PS. No, Gimp and Inkspace don't cut it. Yes, there will be other apps that Linux wont be able to run.
So, lets say that you decide to violate the NASA no-sex regulations in the middle of a Mission to Mars... what do they do? Tell you to get off the ship?

About the Golden Palace Monkey. I think that having private coorporations sponsoring this kind of research in exchange for branding is a great idea. It benefits all of us. And the name "Golden Monkey" doesn't sound half bad after all.;-)
Imagine an internet without adverts, where the cost of making and mantaining a website is paid by subscription only.
I understand blocking obstrusive adverts like popups, nevertheless, adverts are needed to keep the web free (as in beer).

Imagine Firefox with most of its plugins in a smaller, more responsive package, and not feeling that you are using a Frankenbrowser.
Now imagine being able to disable any page's design so that you can improve readability. Also imagine being able to store a number of pages in sessions instead of individual bookmarks. Imagine a button that stores the links of the pages that you have just closed in case that you want to open them again. Imagine true page zooming, a RSS reader, irc chat, and a gmail like mail client in less than 4 MB.
Whenever I use anything else I feel as if I am not getting the whole internet experience.
1. The program DOES HAVE a zero install download. You execute the jar file on any platform and thats it. The platform specific installers are there to provide the convenience of putting shortcuts on your desktop and on your program's group.
2. I NEVER said that it is ok to install Web Start. I said that you don't have to do it in order to use this program.
NONE of the statements that you have made about this software are true. The points that you have made are based un false assumptions. It seems that either you didn't visit the website or are writing about an entirely different program.
I "shouted" at the room. I did this to draw the attention of the readers, so that they would know that your ill informed and untrue comments were wrong. Your derogatory remarks could tarnish all the hard work that the programmers have done with this software that they are providing for free. I find it extremelly irresponsible.
I never mentioned or contradicted your remarks about portability, therefore, your second point is null and void.
Looks like we have to install "Java Web Start" to use Columba, even if we already have a JVM installed (and its browser plugin).
NO, YOU DONT! You can use the java web start version if you don't or can't download the software. THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON IS RIGHT IN THE FRONT PAGE. I downloaded it and works fine.
Why not produce these applets in Flash, which doesn't require extra software installations?
Because Flash's SDK is very limited and a pain to work with.
I have been a loyal thunderbird user for a while, nevertheless, I am giving this program a try.
So far, the rules that you can set in this software are far more advanced than those that exist in thunderbird. The GUI feels also feel a lot lighter and more responsive.
Why try this program? Because competition makes innovation. Do you criticise the Linux community for making a thousand distros?
Unless you use exclusively Open Source software I don't see how you can criticize Sun's JVM. Please remember that the next time that you play a video game or use an ATM.
They already did, it is called MONO. It runs my ASP.NET apps in apache or through its own portable XSP server rather well. A little slower actually but with an acceptable performance cost ratio nevertheless.

No they dont.
MSN messenger allows you to add your own picture avatars, custom smilies and send nudges and winks.

It IS zero install. A jar can be, and in this situation is, an executable file. When you run the jar you run the program.

Eh, no.

You can make GTK+ apps with MONO and C# for Linux without using any propietary MS IP.
What they can pull the plug on in on ASP.NET. Of course, you can always run your ASP.NET app trough Grasshoper and turn it into a JAVA app
If they ported .NET to Linux, people wouldn't have to buy Microsoft Servers.

Java runs everywhere, but it makes more money for IBM and Oracle than it does for Sun
