There's also Office Chinese, which will not only offer Chinese language but also comes with a Format / Censor menu option, so you can censor your own files automatically.
In the Enterprise Edition, this will be connected with a Communist Party censor via VPN, so he can accept/reject everything online, making it a really connected piece of **** (censored by Microsoft Word).
If you need the regular SDKs, just download Nokia's or Sony's for free. The situation you've described is only true if one needs access to: 1) the source code 2) internal APIs.
As the only people willing access to the source code are the Series 60 licensees, which are 5 or 6 at the moment, only the 2) option can be a barrier, but most applications don't need that kind of access; so in the vast majority of the situations, developing for Symbian costs nothing and requires no contracts or any other form of legal binding.
Yes there are! There was this girl in my company who was *beaufitul* and she could program in C, Java (including advanced stuff like EJB), perform extremely complex queries in Oracle among others. She also liked to have beers with us after work. Then I woke up sweating.
I'm from Brazil. No contracts have been signet yet until now, and this so-called "plan" is nothing more than intentions at the moment. Even if this become true (which I doubt, because the current left-wing government here likes to promise to the people a *lot* of things that it won't do), it will be probably held either by a big company like IBM or the state-run Cobra Tecnologia, which, by the way, is one of the most corrupt companies in the country. Don't expect any benefit to Linux community from this eventual migration. I don't think Conectiva was ever taken into consideration for that job, because even here nobody has seen a new important installation of Conectiva Linux in years.
Weblication is better then Ajax, at least for me. I say that because I worked for a company and there I had a co-worker whose nickname was? AJAX. He developed a *ridiculous* web application development framework; so ridiculous that we made the expression "Ajax Development Framework for Web Applications" a synonymous for "crappy web development framework". So if everybody starts calling XmlHTTPRequest-based development "Ajax", one enterprise-wide inner joke previously bound to last forever will now be lost.
Ps.: One of the features of *our* Ajax development was constant refactoring. So constant that we bet he was writing a book called "Refactoring Forever", where he taught how to keep refactoring the same system for years without never ever finish it.
Bill: Marten, you do not yet realize your importance. You have only begun to discover your power. Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the database world. Marten: I'll never join you. Bill: I am your father. Marten: No. That's not true. That's impossible. Bill: Search your feelings you know it to be true. Marten: Nooooo. Nooooo. Bill: Yes I am. Marten: Ok then.
Neither am I. I wrote a program that parses the page and sends the new stories to my mobile phone, where the message is instructed to interrupt anything i'm doing at the moment in the phone, like playing Snake or talking to my mom. This program also prints a copy of the story so I can read it at home in bedtime.
"The MITS company did not know this and was very interested in seeing their BASIC. So, Gates and Allen began working feverishly on the BASIC they had promised. The code for the program was left mostly up to Bill Gates while Paul Allen began working on a way to simulate the Altair with the schools PDP-10. Eight weeks later, the two felt their program was ready. Allen was to fly to MITS and show off their creation. The day after Allen arrived at MITS, it was time to test their BASIC. Entering the program into the company's Altair was the first time Allen had ever touched one. If the Altair simulation he designed or any of Gates's code was faulty, the demonstration would most likely have ended in failure. This was not the case, and the program worked perfectly the first time [Wallace, 1992, p. 80]. MITS arranged a deal with Gates and Allen to buy the rights to their BASIC.[Teamgates.com, 9/29/96] Gates was convinced that the software market had been born. Within a year, Bill Gates had dropped out of Harvard and Microsoft was formed."
I wonder how many of the slashdotters can write a programming language from scratch without having a computer and make it work on the first try.
Of course Gates is a virtuoso businessman above everything else, but the guy was also indeed a high-skilled programmer. it's not fair that slashdotters deny that just because they don't like him.
Brown's account is based on extensive interviews with more than two dozen leading technologists including Richard Stallman, Dennis Ritchie, and Andrew Tanenbaum.
The Tocqueville Institute may be MSFT funded, but what about the fellows interviewed by Kenneth Brown? Do they think their work was stolen by Open Source developers throughout the years?
Living in a 3rd. world country like Brazil, I would also add the problem of not finding the desired book, which is a *very* recurring issue in our (poor) public libraries. Most of them have catalogs that are so poor that makes going to them to look for something not worth it.
I bet it happens in a lot of other countries as well.
Back in 2000, a friend of mine used to leave his computer turned on 24/7 with that stupid AllAdvantages software showing up lots of ads. He expected to make hundreds of dollars, as advertised.
After 4 months of extreme adclicking, he received a U$35,00 and was not very happy about the amount, but decided to cash it anyway.
We are from Brazil, so when we need to cache a check from US, we need to go to Citibank. There, they charged him U$70,00 to cash the check. I had the biggest laugh of my life and he thought about a lawsuit AllAdvantages, but I told him that the lawyers would charge him a lot more than the money he wanted to receive.

Hey dude, I'm Brazilian, and I can say we take file hashing very seriously around here.

If Russia, China, Brazil and Arab states support something as group, that something is obviously wrong. I'm Brazilian, by the way.
It only supports GTK user interfaces. I have direct contact with people on that project and that's something that will not change for now.
Yes they can, because the author forgot to mention that the Top 25 are actually programming from their huge employers' basements.
they were expected to perform at the same level of expectations as HP workers
:D
Given the performance of HP workers, they haven't been ask much...

I've always said that Indian software is dynamite, baby!
after the first release of a GPL'd BIOS, I bet RMS will get pissed off about the new BIOS being called "FreeBIOS" instead not "GNU/FreeBIOS".

I don't think so. He stepped aside to get some more time to work in his projects like: fetchmail, and... hm... and...yeah.

X-wife? Boy, she must have a very nice GUI.
It runs Symbian OS, so it can be programmed with SymbianOS' native language (C++). It also supports Java and MIDP 2.0

Great post. Some comments:
Saying that just replacing DOS with CP/M would have made another company become Microsoft, is short sighted and idiotic.
As short-sighted and idiotic is to say that Bill Gates was not a good programmer:

it has been outsorced, you insensitive clod!
You could take your time and go for a Slashdot subscribe huh? :D
only buy songs from the artists who are selling their songs directly to their fans, like George Michael and... aw shit, forget it.

Yes it is the plain old linux, but slower.
