I write a web application for corporate environments and browser compatibility is sometimes a bitch. With over half the browsers in corporate networks still using IE6 I am forced to develop code that works on IE6, IE7 , IE8, FF, Safari. I have found that the other major browsers like opera, chrome and konqueror just plain work. IE6 (and to a lesser degree IE7) is holding back the internet and tieing developers hands with insane CSS or javascript hacks.
I know everyone loves to slam IE but despite being slow IE8 has good enough standards support that it doesn't need hacks any more to work.
The problem with the current browser wars is that their are so many combinations. If it takes QA an hour to test a change once - it will take them an entire day to test it on the top 8 browsers. If we could mandate the client platform FF would be a great choice but whoever these vendors that only support IE6 are need to get off their asses because its giving me a headache every day.
I work for a canadian EMR company. Most EMR software is highly regulated in terms of functionality and security but the UI is up to the designer. We do virtually no marketing and have trouble implementing the software as quickly as new clients come on. Even in areas with no government subsidies the doctors are switching on the advise of their peers. This augment is complete rubbish. Any software that cant keep better records than charts and filing cabinets is shit and could never spread in a free market.
So everything remains as normal (ubuntu or debian base + mods). If asked to provide offer only a mail option (having to pay anything will prevent people from caring). All you do is grab the binary install it and write a quick script to grab all installed packages source from the repository.
To recap: Not likely to happen and 30 minutes work if it does. Wow the horror
The first element in each subsection does not pad the arrow image from the right side as all other instances. This only occurs in IE so its not that big of a deal but please you web developers really need to think of how these things will look in other browsers. Add some CSS comment hacks and fix it you lazy bum
I know several people who use firefox with the IE Tab extension to get the benifits of Firefox's tabbed browsing for an IE rendering engine(and Integrated Auth). This configuration is also vulnerable to this exploit
Over the last year my company has replaced every GX270 mainboard has blown. Its probably cost us a week of developer and IT time because Dell wouldnt do a general recall. And dell has as a result paid for ~20 onsite field replacement techs and part return waybills
This is how microsoft could fix this at a api level without breaking legacy code
Step 1: When a non-privledged user installs a application install it the users space and create the req keys prefixed into the users area in the registry. A warning to the user when installing stating it will only be available to their account will be needed
Step 2: When running a application first check the current user virtual registry then the true global registry
Step 3: Add the rights necisary for accelorated video to work under the default user rights
Step 4: Switch to linux/unix because they got this right 20 years ago!
Time spent porting software to run on a gameboy may not be the most commercially viable opportunity but you must realize that this is of little concern to those who achieved it. Most open source software is born out of a "Wouldnt it be cool if..." concept. Some might say this is a very narrow view but think of it as it relates to some major projects and you can see it has far more depth than it would orginally seem. For Example:
Wine: Wouldnt it be cool if all this windows software would just work on linux
Firefox: Wouldnt it be cool if we could make a supperior browser and make the internet based on standards
Gaim: Wouldnt it be cool if we could talk to all of our friends which happen to be using 5 different pieces of IM Software
Bash: Wouldnt it be cool if we added some functionality to this 20+ year old shell so people dont have to type so much stuff
Now admitedly some open source projects cant fit this mold but a great many do. I developed a modified version of the vnc java applet with a lighter interface on the rational that: Wouldnt it be cool if clients didnt have to see lots of garbage they done need. I later merged that with a ssl enabled version because I thought it would be cool if it could be easy and secure instead of the original tightvnc applet which despite being a quality piece of code is insecure and too compilicated for the average user
Im not sure if anyone will even read this because the story isnt top anymore but ill check back 2mor0
The issue isnt the network its the ram/processing power. mpeg compression needs ~200mhz to decompress a decent quality stream. If its running a dynamic protocol such as X11 or vnc which compresses and decompresses in real time even the fastest systems couldnt really do that effectively. Another issue is that very few network cards can run high utilization without cpu utilization.
Its a cd based linux distribution that will 0 fill a drive very easily. Great tool. First thing I had to do at my job was clear 25 old drives for recycling (aka donating to employees). Using 3 computers I cleared all the drives in less than a day
We really had 4 levels of math (I tutored all 4). You have fundimentals (exists to allow stupid people to fulfil the grade 12 math grad requirement), applied (fairly practical - financial and odds math emphasized, normal (classic, hasnt changed in years), and calculus
Xvnc Kde Svncviewer (modified tightvnc java applet / program with ssl and thiner interface) And optionally for ssl encryption (server side)
stunnel And optionally for large systems
ldap / sasl for authentication And optionally for internet access
Apache serving the svncviewer And Optionally for network boot terminals
pxes
This allows a cheap low bandwidth internet or network boot terminal environment with linux. If you need some windows applications you can run wine (or a varient of it) or use rdesktop to run the application in a captured window and syncronize the password to windows through a automated process with a (I forget the name starts with L) file imported into AD.
And I just spent 5 days compiling 3.3.2 damnit!!!

KDE 3.4 Released

· Score: 1
Took 5 days with my messed up firewall. 64 mb of ram and 2 ghz processor. I dont compile well
Try running a webserver, desktop, vnc terminal server, router, dns, fileserver, pxes boot server and lots of other shit on a gentoo box with 64 megs of ram. Compiling kde (everything) takes 3 days (niceness of 12). I need every bit of efficiency I can get and ram heavy "optimizations" like -O3 (compile and runtime) kill my system performance.
If you go into the different demos on the page you will notice that it installs a activeX component and the WebEx player. Why when writing a system designed to promote interopability and OS indipendence would you have your marketing demos in a proprietary application that noone has and (im fairly certain - cant test my linux box doesnt even have a gui) will not work from linux. Macromedia Flash (I know still proprietary) is common and installs relatively easily on linux systems (especially with version 7)
Their are far better alternatives to integrate linux into AD. Their management system reminds me of the Sun Solaris Management (underpowered, fugly - thats why sun dropped it).
NTFS writing is reliable in my experience (Ive used it several dozen times without a problem). Their is also a tool (not sure if its in knoppix) that lets you use microsofts own ntfs loader to access it.
XP only hardware:
ATI Radoen 8500 All in wonder DV. Combines a video tuner and a video card into one device. On the windows platform only XP is supported and a abandonware 2.4 kernel module sorta (read flakey) implements it on linux.
I definitely have to disagree. Ive used gentoo for both a server and desktop and find its a great system for deploying a massively customized, secured, reliable, server quickly and reliably. I used gentoo when I created a 8 system (2/2/4 node clusters) for a ldap authenticated webmail / terminal system for my final project. I installed all 8 systems without a hitch fully optimized in 1 week.
When I went to BCIT we had a shared T3 connection for a residence of 350 people. We in theory could use p2p but noone ever got called on it. With a connection speed fast enough to download a 400 meg halflife update in 4 minutes and 17 seconds you can bet that most did download and download a lot
Wasnt their a catch-all for these issues that they came up with in ds9? Something about an alternate universe (where the original took place and where kira is a dominatrix) that could be reached through a "modified" transporter. Or do i have this wrong
Im a part time treky - no time for details:)
as of late their are fewer and fewer pc (windows) games coming out and more moving to the increasingly impressive and inexpensive consoles. Consoles have a great many advantages over pc to both the user and the companies making games for them. Piracy on consoles is possible but considerably more difficult (did u see the modchip install on a ps2 its insane - 40 points all over the board connected to the chip via wires).
And with the fact that realistically i dont think their will be much more native development for linux thats not bad. Ill continue to run linux on my pc and game with my ps2.
