640 petabytes of memory should be enough for anyone, ever.
Although, if 640kb sounded anything like 640 petabytes does now, I'll have to rape moores law over a barrell and say I doubt we will ever have computers with 640petabytes of ram as standard.
Of course, I say that in jest, I would love for future people to read this post and laugh thier tits off (some futuristic velcro tits no doubt)
I definately suggest putting J2EE on the back burner! Its like trying to swim in the deep end, with sharks, man-o-wars, rusty WW2 sea mines, the Southhampton Elderly Aquarobics class, toddler swimming lessons and a huge inflatable Barney (TM).
Start with Java SE, definately play with Swing, then move onto servlet and JSP, keeping it simple, I suggest using the java.sun.com leanring trails or some O'Reilly books.
Donwload Tomcat 5... when you are good at that, do some JSTL in the mix, work on a struts application using just a dto layer, then think about J2EE, which is all that plus an EJB container (lookup EJB's) and lots of knowledge of design patterns, like fast lane readers, session facades (limiting network overheads etc) and then you can call yourself a J2EE programmer.

Plumbers seem to have ace jobs in all the porn movies I have seen, but I haven't the face for a handlebar moustache.
Hiroshima. With an uncertain population figure, the death toll could only be estimated. According to data submitted to the United Nations by Hiroshima City in 1976, the death count reached 140,000 (plus or minus 10,000) by the end of December, 1945.
Health Card Holders. Persons qualifying for treatment under the A-bomb Victims Medical Care law of 1957 received Health Cards; holders as of March 31, 1990, numbered 352,550.
Nagasaki. The atomic bomb dropped on Nagasaki exploded at 11:02 A.M. on August 9. Using plutonium with an explosive power of 20 kilotons of TNT-equivalent, it left an estimated 70,000 dead by the end of 1945, although both population and the deaths are uncertain.

I guess is SWT runs on qt, and qt runs on this, it should be a dooable affair??
DVD Shrink pulls down my DVD onto a 256 card, of which I have 3, so I have 8 eps of seinfeld on 1, a movie on anothewr, and I install all my apps on the third (makes hard resets a breeze, esp *if you remember to backup your shortcuts!*)
You cannot hold anyone liable who has not broken the law, but whose works has been used, without thier knowledge or consent (explicit) for purposes that may even be explicitly forbidden in the license terms.
You cannot make laws just because you are big corporations and have deep pockets.
Did I just say that?
Don't even hold it with this. Anyone can program anything they want. How it is used and by who is the problem.
Taking away liberties and rights to fight crime is not a good idea.
What will become of all this? We are on the pinnacle of having Microsoft laud 3000 patents a year in everyones face, SCO finally might roll over and die, the RIAA are still dogs.
Dear RIAA,
I found this website with lots of illegal music on it, please invetigate.
but a company representative said that the decision to withdraw was a "question of priorities" and that the focus of the standards body was moving away from Microsoft's expertise.
babelfish.av.com Bullshit > english
Out priority is to make money by keeping buteforcing the patent system, and training genetically modified lawyers to enforce them in the future.
We are not known for our expertise in playing fairly, we preffer a borderline illegal approach to doing business.
Would that 'honesty book shop' appease Authors? I meant buy new releases and older copyrighted works (even out of print copyrighted that Gutenberg won't touch) If I want to re-read some Orwell, Asimov, Steinbeck or others, where do I go? (pah, library...)
Who cares what publishers think, they are wondering how they can be a middle man in a digital age. We will start with good bi-format books, all available in eBook, all 100% well formatted. Then some will move more over into eBooks.
And hadn't been a small asteroid, then I could be dead now, and in heaven reading slashdot, and not know about it.
I think this is a bit of a non-story. So this is the closest observed asteroid that hasn't actually hit us
The funny thing is if this had hit us it wouldn't have made the news, unless it had hit someone famous, and only if they were doing something scandalous at the time.
I actually YESTERDAY thought about this, because subconsciously I keep checking emails, IM's, I have a veritable cornucopia of Internet fed distractions that clutter my day.
For any brain job, you need a good 3 hour stint to warm up and cool off a thought process. I like a 3 hour morning slot of work, so I can have a nice long break, and try for a 2-3 hour slot in the afternoon.
5 hours of concentration is it in a 8 hour day, that would be fun if I worked 8 hours, but 10-12 is the norm, because you can;t leave the job with that
"It shouldn't be *able* to do that, look I can prove it mathematically that this bug can not exist"
still in your mind. The funny thing is, my job gives me freedom, I mean, if I don't want to go in, I say, I am not in today. No holiday required, I am just working flexibly for 0 hours today.
I do actually right click and disconnect my network connection sometimes (and then no my next build curse because oracle is fsk'd)
Those little 'you can mail' and anyone remember ICQ's oh oh sound? At uni this used to echo at all hours of the night across the courts... aaah.
I firefox plugin for, disallow this page between 9-5 etc etc, just to make you double check yourself, at the end, it is always personal willpower (although this script is pretty hard to bother and stop it when you have done it, like a kill button) that makes you work hard, and of course, liking you job!
Heard about the Aeron and the dot bomb growth of this eccentric chair, and as many people hate it as love it.
I suggest buying a cheap chair, and snapping the back off.
My office chair in my new job was IKEA shit, and since I daren't lean back on it, I tend to sit in the correct posture, slightly forward on my seat. Also I leave the feet on my keyboard (its feet, notmine) down, so my wrists stay straight. (8 hous a day with a 20 degree deflection in my wrist? (not jokes please) that would cut off all my nerve signals... yikes... I'd probably go blind too (I said no jokes..))... some days when you have to rush through a post, looking for matching parenthesis, you know it is a job for, Captain Parenthesis...)
What happened to *tap*tappety*tap* or was I tripping?
I have had enough of half whimsical BOFH surveys. Give me some dopey students loosing their lifes work and failing uni because the saddo BOFH you hate to love decides he likes thier girlfriend.
The book, a Short Biographical Dictionary of English Literature, by John W. Cousin, was proofed for this special occasion by over 500 volunteers.
Hardly a non-put-downable... I suppose that is is a Biography (Shouldn't that be bibliography *chuckle*) of english literature is kinda symbolic.
I guess this more than doubles the total number of people who have read this book though!
I like Gutenberg, I hope they start a system where you can download copyright books for a micropayment, I would pay good money for text ebooks.
Lets hope ebooks don't go the way of music, keep the costs low, no DRM fluffing up the download. If you can click 3 times and start reading a new book, and it costs you euro's then you would preffer that than d/l gigs of warez.
Anyone who illegally downloads lots of books, tends to be the person who does't read them much anyway (Someone boasted to me that they had 300 O'Reilly books, squirming under the desire to tell me that they were eBooks, off irc, oh lawks, what a riot, I wish I was your friend, go away)
I am still on the 4986th book, this one isn't that good, but I have to finish it, oh, page 34, line 7 there is a mistake in the 4th word, I think you know it, yes.
Other than this I just found, the other 4985 are AOK so far.
Good work guys. Free the books. ook.

Yeah, I heard all the press on Doom3, if I am to buy it, I want to try it.
Movie trailers, movie reviews, book reviews, radio playlists, game demos.
Right up there. Plus, if I get bored of it after playing the demo (play halo demo, mmm, a good bedtime game to play *yawn*) I won't buy it.
I say demos are the answer to piracy.
640 petabytes of memory should be enough for anyone, ever.

It is cool that you can preload unreleased media in encrypted form, I like how they are doing this.
A bad joke would be that you preloaded thier source code a few months ago, but lets not go there.
I can't wait for a doom3 demo, let alone a half life 2 demo.
I am holding my breath for a Duke Nukem Forever (that is so true it isn't even funny)

IANAY but if I was I would smack the government on the side of the head.
People should contest this whole affair, not propose an equally distrubing watered down version.
