Not long ago I've read this one:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news...
In the meantime, Slashdot ADs is pointing me to a tool to move all my code to SourceForge:)
nice picture, BUT why they used Silverthing? there are much more interesting opensource tools like iipimage ( http://iipimage.sf.net/ ) that they work in javascript, flex and even java!
Anyway, I had to use a friend computer to watch the image:)
You are right, capitalism in weapon production impose strong market regulation! Anyway, when you read on NYT, why are only Russian's weapons called "deadly"? Is the new missiles that can reach anywhere on Earth built in US a "great achievement"?
Computation power, advanced in physics and chemistry and IT improvements not only are helping in digitize literary treasures but also helps curators, historians and normal people to better understand, study, interpret works of art in general. Multispectral applied to paintings reveal hided drawings, xray on pottery or statues give us the exact position of internal pieces and 3D is occupying a role more and more important in documentation and as communication tool.
The only problem I see in the use of a text file configuration is the lack of documentation. For example, to run a standalone fastcgi based application (IIPImage) I had to spend few weeks reading blogs and participating in forums, just to realise, at the end, that I have to use fake empty files to set the fcgi handler correctly...
If somebody is interested here is the howto.
In terms of performances... IIS + fastCGI is very quick!
Linux is already suitable for domestic use! My mother she was totally illiterate about computer world until I've bought for my father company an AMD64 (they still don't know what machine they are using) and I've installed Ubuntu on it.
Now, after 2 years, my mother is very happy with the Ubuntu computer and we do ekiga webcam phones, she write documents and she have a gmail account!
So the real problem is that people with an already Windows culture they don't want to change in the same way people in my lab they don't want to upgrade windows 98 to windows XP because the second one is too difficult to use!

shouldn't be "chrissake"?

My Grandfather was used to say: "money don't give happiness but for sure they help you to be happy!". He was a real savant.
what is the spectral response?

Usually it is somebody from government putting stuff in Italian's ass, for once that it is a scientist with a robot, Thanks God!
technology improve your life, cultural heritage improve your quality of life...

that's simply another clear intention of IT giants to exploit open source community! they opensource it only because they are realizing java is dieing! Look at this: http://www.news.com/IT-giants-accused-of-exploiting-open-source/2100-7344_3-5726714.html
