I agree with this completely! Anybody have a solution? I know it is out there... somewhere......In Windows, this issue is known as ".dll hell." In Linux, you might call it ".so hell" ("so" being the extension for these "shared objects"). It has probably caused me more frustration and hair-pulling than all the other issues in Linux combined. In principle, the issue seems simple: you can't install a program if the shared objects that it depends on - its "dependencies" - are not on the system. Any attempt to install the program will generally inform you what dependencies are missing, and it usually isn't too much trouble to go find the needed files on line somewhere. The problem comes if you need, say, version 4 for your new program, but you already have version 3 installed. You can't simply overwrite version 3, because then all the existing programs that depend on it will break. Apparently you can't just have separate copies of 3 and 4, since I have yet to find an installation tool that will let you do this. Instead, you...well, frankly, I don't know what you do. I have yet to solve this problem, and it continues to bother me.
We just asked people to register as new users... which only requires an active email address. We didn't ask (nor want) real information to enter. We just wanted people to view and contribute to the site.
We then notified the winners and got their snail mail address after the notification.
We ran a sweepstakes at tech-recipes.com not too long ago. The prizes were gift certificates to Amazon, t-shirts, etc. I was amazed how much traffic it brought in.
These sweepstakes sites must just have tons and tons of traffic because they turfed a lot our way. If you promoting a new site, I suggest it highly.
The problem with viral campaigns like VoteOrNot is that it is too easy to have multiple on-line personalities. In these days, nobody has one email account... it's easy for one person to be a ton of people online. That's the problem the company will have.
The problem the rest of us will have is these techniques will likely flood every forum in the world with referrals... much like the free iPod, LCD, hummer, hooker, etc. campaigns have.
The mission of the Apache Portable Runtime Project is to create and maintain software libraries that provide a predictable and consistent interface to underlying platform-specific implementations. The primary goal is to provide an API to which software developers may code and be assured of predictable if not identical behavior regardless of the platform on which their software is built, relieving them of the need to code special-case conditions to work around or take advantage of platform-specific deficiencies or features.
This is competition for java?
Sorry... can somebody give me some insight on what this is?
Artists make most of their money from other sources now. Much like atheletes they make money from sponsorships...
What video these days doesn't push a product or three? Heck, videos contain enough commericals now that I wouldn't be surprised if MTV actually started showing videos again.
Smaller artists, like many of my friends, make most of their money from live performances... despite being signed to "major labels."
Sadly, these major labels often sign many artists to keep them from signing with other groups. Paying them a small fee and then "vaporwaring" their music keeps them out of the competition.
The music companies are bastards, bastards them all.
Who cares why you would or would not want to do it... many people will.
The real jewel of this project is that it has an easy ad revenue pathway. The service knows exactly where people live so it can target local businesses to them... easy money!
Finally one of these social sites has the ability to make real money.
If they were to partner up with something like local google, they could have a real market.
We should reward good business ideas... we see them so infrequently on the web these days.
But Verizon disabled the phone's Bluetooth file-transfer function, so you can't wirelessly transfer photos to your PC without using the carrier's for-pay Pix Messaging service
Yeah, they are doing it for security reasons... yeah, right. As the quote above shows, it's all about the dollars, baby.

What I don't understand is the purpose of this release. People protesting and hacking in the name of the democratic party is only going to piss off the undecided people.
Being a shmuck isn't any less evil even if you think you are doing it for the right reasons.

Plus... there is no proof of this. This is just some blind quote from some random site! As far as we know, this guy made this up.
I know slashdot isn't "the press" but something to suggest that this is something more than randomly created news would be interesting.
New profit model: 1. Write interest, speculative quote 2. Make guesses about the quote 3. Get slashdot to bump your article 4. Google ads on make-up article 5. Profit!
As the article is getting slow, here is the quote to which I am referring. I know how VoIP spoofs... but I have no idea what PRI is... I can't even speculate on what their top-secret method is.
Jepson says the backend system doesn't rely on the most common methods of Caller ID spoofing - PRI lines and VoIP - but otherwise declined to comment on how it operates, for fear that competitors will launch copycat sites.
Obviously you are trolling but this is a common belief...
However, Monad is obviously a way that Microsoft is trying to catch-up with the powerful scripting ability of *nix shells.
Of couse, some linux installs with have sidebars and other copies of new longhorn features. Longhorn will likely gain some new linux-like features between now and then as well... It's just the features race.
In competitive software markets one product will always try to match the bells and whistles of similiar products. For example, IE gained pop-up blocking.

If it's going to be released today, I am assuming it is not vapor...
On a related subject and much more practical...

Did you know you can get a stormproof room in your house?
We were recently building a new house and our contractor said for $3k he could make a "safe room" for us.
I let him do it...
So when the next hurricane/tornado comes, the only things left in the house will be my family and my servers.

Because they've been told that THIS is 6 inches all their life.

I agree that this is what I typically do; however, it's obviously not with the linux-spirit of doing things.
As drive space becomes cheaper and cheaper, it seems that you should just be able to keep copies of the needed components with the installed program.

I didn't understand why we needed IP6 until one of the guys at work described why he wanted each of his light switches to have its own IP address...

Vaporware. Microsoft is so famous for it, they are referenced in the definition.
Is there any project for a similiar file system in linux?
The idea itself is a good one.
existing Java apps should run with only minor changes
It's freaking java. Why do all of these device makers continue to change small things that make all of the previous software libraries not work!
The platform is going to do better if there is more software available.
Slashdotted already... alas, I can find no google cache.
If you believe that linux is less bloated and more stable, then it's THE natural OS for embedded systems.
Well, if you want to get your daily fix of "linux has been placed in something else" news... you can always visit linuxdevices.com
If you want to do-it yourself... ibm embedded.

The methods behind this are still hidden. They claim that it's not VoIP as most people currently do...
Any speculation what it could be?
Here's an idea?
Just spend the money to setup private voting booths over there. Travel from company to company and allow our guys to vote.
Holy crap. These guys are overthere risking life and limb for "us" and we can't even find a way to allow them to vote?
Right or wrong... they are heros. They need to vote this election more than your average joe!
