  1. Re:High cost of J2EE? on Beyond An Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    As far as I know Oracle has licensed Orion for its J2EE application server.

  2. Re:If Yahoo wants my vote... on Yahoo! Vs. Google: Algorithm Standoff · · Score: 1

    However, in search.yahoo.com _and_ altavista, I noticed that "sponsored results" show up before the real ones, but they appear in the list just the same. That could confuse newbies, and I prefer the approach Google has taken to advertising (shoving the ads to a separate entity on the right, and keeping them text-based).

    You can buy similar adspace from Google too. Check out this for example.

    But at least they change the background color of the ads and put a "Sponsored Link" notice.

  3. Re:If Yahoo wants my vote... on Yahoo! Vs. Google: Algorithm Standoff · · Score: 1

    Correct. First they used Altavista, then Google, and now Inktomi.

    Maybe they should dump the catalogue (is it still profitable?) and switch to Open Directory as well...

    Then a 1-pixel difference would spoil the whole idea. What about randomly changing quotes, pictures, and other dynamic data (like the date and time etc).

    OCR'ing and checking for "totally" different content is a better approach (as in the parent post).

    Why should Microsoft add support to read TAR/GZ formats into Windows?

    It would be nice to be able to (de)compress ACE and RAR formats though.

    Just nitpicking, but Interbase wasn't open source when they started being written.

    Hotmale would make sense, but Googlemale???

    They can add the text ads at the end of e-mails (sent or received) as well... Not nice, but still better than webmail.

    Yes, but nessus needs a server (nessusd) running on the machine that is being checked.

    While nessus for Unix is open source, nessusd for Windows is commercial.

  11. Re:rovers on NTT Develops Stamp-Size 1GB Hologram Memory · · Score: 1

    In fact, older virii would infect your ROM, and you would have to actually bring the whole CPU back to your manufactor to get it restored. That's why you see "Chip-Away virus protection" or some sort when you boot many of the new computers..

    There is actually at least one virus (W95.CIH a.k.a. Chernobyl) that erased the flash memory content and prevented the PC from booting up. But the "chip-away virus protection" you see when you boot is just there against more conventional viruses, those that infect the boot records (like Brain, Stoned, etc) and against trojans that mess up with boot sectors.

    I think they are referring to the uncompressed size.

  13. Re:8 bit or 64 bit? on GEOS Available for Download After 18 Years · · Score: 1

    They also introduced a 128 KB version, C128. It also had two CPUs (6510 and Z80) from different manufacturers(!) that you can switch from one to the other. And of course, you could run it in "C64-compatible" mode.

    CCS64 has better emulation of a real 1541 drive. Most fastloaders I've seen work with it.

    And to keep this on-topic, there is a C64 emulator for the Nokia Communicator.

    And can it run GEOS?

  16. Re:You mean you can cripple it more? on Microsoft Develops XP 'Light' for Thailand · · Score: 2, Informative

    Intel, AMD - for example, Pentium 133-200 are the exact same chip. The chips which can be overclocked without failure are sold as 200's.

    This is somewhat different. In this case, P133 is not intentionally crippled; it is slightly defective.

    A better example would be 486 DX/SX case where Intel intentionally disabled math co-processor of DX and sold as SX (at a lower price). They also relabelled DX chips as 487 (co-processor) being an "upgrade" for 486SX users. Hence practically they sold some people the exact same chip twice.

  21. Re:MSN? on Microsoft Agrees to Stop Hijacking Music-Shopping · · Score: 1

    My version of MSN messenger still uses IE to go to Hotmail although my default web browser is Mozilla.

    Even if it forces to use IE, it is still understandable. MSN messenger is not a part of Windows the Operating System. It can more be thought as a part of IE...

    Mozilla mail reader always uses Gecko to view HTML e-mails. More or less the same case.

    Exactly. And an even better solution is to use PrefBar. It is small, not intrusive (Press F8 to show or hide it) and very convenient.

    You can change the user-agent, remove flash animations, turn on/off images etc. Give it a try...
