Earthlink doesn't block outbound on port 25 but does block port 25 to other SMTP servers besides Earthlink's servers. Does SPAM still bounce off other servers anymore?? I know at one time there were lists of open SMTP servers.
Luckily I can bounce my work email off the Earthlink server without it looking any different.
Local caching data gets ugly. Eventually the connectivity issues will be fixed. Mobile devices will seamlessly connect to databases preventing the need for caching.
"Organizing" issues aren't as important as getting the data faster and handling a large amount of users. Databases are getting larger and larger. Query optimizations can only improve queries to a certain extent. Eventually the amount of users and data reaches a threshold that more and more hardware doesn't always fix.
Microsoft actually had Remote Scripting before with "classic" ASP.
If you look carefully at the document you will notice it uses a Java applet to communicate to ASP pages.
I used this a long time ago when I did "classic" ASP pages and it worked OK. It had firewall and browser issues. We really had no other options at the time and page refreshes weren't an option.
I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft wanted to get rid of it simply becuase it used a Java applet.
Quake 3 in my opinion is the best FPS ever. I am one person whole likes thing simple. I still play Quake 3 and find that playing Q3 is a lot more fun now than at the height of it's popularity. Annoying people moved on to other games.
Here are things I DO NOT want:
1. Tranporting device - I can Translocate across a map but it doesn't make it fun.
2. Voice chat - I don't want to hear 13 year olds scream. Let them type their crap out. I rarely hear anything useful on team based FPS voice chat.
3. Stat Tracking Stuff - This seems to create a bunch of people playing to keep up their stats. These are the guys endlessly killing people at spawn points like its a RPG.
4. Stupid Mods - The developers spent 3 years balancing the settings. 12 year old spent 2 minutes messing the settings up.
5. Cheats/Hacks - I don't get why people want to cheat at a game? Doesn't seem like fun to only win because you installed some crap off the web.
You would need to build security into the system if you did. How easy would it be to write a simple program masquerading as a game that would erase all your flash memory?
Mostly just the general slang. I can assume most of them refer to sex. I think Americans find some of the humor [humour] in the cheeky British "shagging" words.
Also David Brent's songs are hilarious when you actually see the words.
Hopefully they will allow downloads of the "The Office". It is a great series. Although as an American, I have to turn on the subtitles to understand what they are saying. Also I didn't understand any of the British pop culture references except the Benny Hill ones.
Maybe BBC should allow downloads of Benny Hill too?
I went from a C/C++ background to Java. I really have no inclination to go back. Java allows me to get stuff done quicker. Do I miss messing with pointers? Uh no.
No Java was taught when I was in college when I went. Going to Java in the late 90's was considered "cool". I guess now since it is taught in college it kinda has that "establishment" feel. Just because there is a population who learned Java in college and is now writing crappy code doesn't make Java the problem. If they teach Ruby and Python in school it just moves the problem to another language. Maybe the problem isn't Java but the education system?
They may be running on the same server but it is still middleware processing business logic. It doesn't have to be on another physical box to be middleware.
As a long time user of JBuilder, the old versions were terribly slow. No problems with version 9. I guess it also helps that I am on a faster computer than when I used earlier versions.
I still think the JBuilder Personal Edition is the best "free" Java development platform out there. It doesn't do servlet programming OTB but I found I could just add the servlet classes and then move the classes.
Hopefully a new Metroid will be Wi-Fi. Played the demo at Best Buy. I think the touch pad is actually better than a mouse for FPS. Kicking ass online would be awesome!! I would've bought a DS but I found out that there is no real Metroid game for the DS yet.
As someone who has been on a dedicated testing team I can say just poking around is a good idea. Very often the test scripts will work but doing things not on the test script will produce an error.
I had one developer who got very pissed at me because I did things outside of the test script and caused some errors. He was like "That's not how your supposed to do it" and then showed me that it worked if you did it like the test script. I was like "Ummm I don't think you can count on end users to do it exactly like the test script". He then told our manager I didn't know how to test.
As much as I would like to see it, fourth generation languages are never going to standardize. Most are derivatives of a standard well known languages like C or Java. Teaching yourself the 4thGen language is never that hard. Most of the vendors have 10+ years in a language that would break existing code on a upgrade. Plus it would make it easier for a migration to a competitor.
I don't believe OpenSourceCRM has a 4th generation language. All of the open source CRM packages I have researched are really just collections of code without any application level programming abilities. Customizations would involve changing the low level source. I guess open source packages feel there is no need to separate the functional programming from technical programming. An application server that runs the same business code for a web page as an integration is a must. Some companies are never going to take a CRM application seriously if a customization involves changing a PHP file. It may work great in a small environment but it will never replace Siebel or OracleCRM unless it packaged with a developer application that generates "forms/page" and compiles 4th generation code.

Netcraft confirms that Firefox users are already smart enough to figure out if a site is phishing
Netcraft confirms that IE users will install spyware to combat phishing.

When reading Microsoft documentation, it is always called JScript. At first I was really confused and tried to go out and learn the new language.

Nothing will defeat terrorism like billion dollar space weapons!!!
You never know when Al Qaeda is going to build a rocket.
Those kids in Explorers did.
Plus the SP covers the screen when you carry it around so it doesn't get scratched up.

In any case, I'd be more interested in going the C# route of stupid coder friendly languages
C# actually puts in a lot of stupid coder pitfalls back in trying to 'fix' Java.
OK I got what your saying now compadre. The PHP doesn't talk to the Java middleware.
They may be running on the same server but it is still middleware processing business logic. It doesn't have to be on another physical box to be middleware.
If you RTFA it isn't talking about JSP. It is about using Java in the middleware (WebSphere) and PHP in the presentation layer (Apache).
There is actually a lot of use for this as a web developer is often someone on a seperate team as the application business layer team.
Why should a PHP web site be rewritten in Java/JSP to use a existing Java middleware module?

BTW: The parent is a troll.
What if we find an issue with Java that blocks something on OO?
What if we find that using Java causes Cancer?
What if we find out that using Java will make you sterile?
What if we find out there is secret code to control your brain and make you buy really expensive Solaris servers?
What if we find that Java actually has code to format you hard drive if you press up, down, left, right, "A", "B", "Select", and then "Start"?
Customizable face plates to change appearance
Is this to appeal to 12 year old girls???
Seriously, is somebody going to change the color of the X-box to correspond to either red or blue based on their Halo team color?

I like the price of my PS2 online connectivity. Never had any problems with online play on a PS2.
I bought the game now I have to pay to play online? No thanks.

A 4GL programming language is designed to run inside another program. 4GL languages do not replace 3GL languages but instead run inside of them.
When you say "database language", PL/SQL is a 4GL language. SQL is running inside of Oracle, a C++ application.
Visual Basic itself is 3GL. Visual Basic for Applications running inside of a Access file is 4GL.
There are grey areas but it really isn't that complicated.
As much as I would like to see it, fourth generation languages are never going to standardize. Most are derivatives of a standard well known languages like C or Java.
