Actually, something that annoys me about Netbeans is the lack of an MDI option.
I like MDI when developing cause I don't want my desktop and icons lerking around between icons. You can imagine how much you'd want to kill yourself if you accidentally click on netscape while trying to click on some part of your code.
I prefer MDI to SDI when doing development. Although, it might change as soon as I get my second video card and monitor:)~~~~.
Yep, I downloaded it a while ago, and can't use it cause it's too slow (mmm J++:))...but I really really like everything else about it. I was even considering buying a new CPU just to run it. Oh by the way, bever try it on 32MB, it'll take 1/2 an hour to load:).
Well, actually Java2 is moving very slowly outside Sun simply because everyone is working to make Java 1.1 fast. By superceed, I meant in speed etc. Obviously Sun is the only one who is allowed to make changes to core java classes as well as the VM. Unless they're bold like Microsoft - well, you see where it got them.
Sun does hate linux. I guess the article mentioned Linux cause it's in fasion to do so.
Netbeans is the leading Java based IDE for Java development. Meaning it runs on ANY Java platform. Linux is one of the tens of java platforms out there. Sun is buying Netbeans....not cause it works on Linux, cause it's an IDE that's written in Java and is popular. It just happens to work on Linux...tho very slowly (blackdown is dead i think).
company. When Microsoft goes and aquires a company everyone goes...oh great, they now steal my "....XXX".
Well, I'm bitterly dissapointed. Netbeans has done so well with their java development tool. Has sun actually done much with java now? Their JDK is superceeeded by everyone else's. Hotspot was purchased. Java Workshop was crap and cancelled. Now Netbeans... hrmph.
The complaint wasn't that color sucked, it was that color dragged battery life down from the several weeks range to the several minutes range. If Palm can create a color device that has the battery life we all expect, more power to them (pardon the pun).
Yes, well I thought that was implied. And it isn't up to microsoft to design the hardware for the device that'll live longer....I mean, there are many companies out there that could possibly do it....what makes you think palm can do it?
colour rocks...makes things look much nicer. grey scale sucks. lemme guess, you still use a green monitor:P
True, that's the only thing i hate about it. But then, if all you develop is components, it doesn't really matter.
I'm generally using Java as a replacement to VC++/MFC and VB, so I'm not particularly worried about Swing. WFC is quite fast (considering it's just wrapped ActiveX controls).
I'm betting that MS won't include a Swing form builder in VJ++ 7, but will rather including AFC (Application foundation classes), which IMHO look and work much better than swing. They're also written in 100% java, and have all the windows type functionality that swing lacks. (someone needs to teach sun about GUI design).
I don't think it'll ever happen, but J++ just rocks:D~~~~.
Instant compiling...takes 2 seconds, not 20 seconds to compile tens of classes. Intellisense, detects installed packages and lists methods and properties as you type etc etc. Hell, intellisense even extends to javadoc blocks in java, so you type @ and it'll like @param @comment etc etc.
Bah, not. All your information comes from/. postings? Firstly there's nothing wrong with MS donating products when it comes to computer stuff people need - what should they do? Donate Sun hardware & software?
Anyway, I apart from the cash donations MS gives each year, they match their employees' donations up to $10K for each employee per year.
It actually depends on the screen. If you had bought say an E-105 from casio, the colour would have made a large difference. Some palms still have he ugly green LCDs, which make it very difficult to read.
Not really, Unix has had some of them for years, but the NT implementations have more to them sometimes.
Anyway, Windows NT and Unix have come from different directions. NT from the bottom up, Unix from the top down (linux).
Why do you think XFree86 sucks compared to windows GDI (when it comes to things like fonts etc). That's why Linux is starting to get things like windows has had for almost years.
Torvalds and Stallman aren't exactly great names of computer science you know. They didn't come up with anything new and amazing - except stallman for the new open source model which isn't really a computer science thing more than a business thing.
And, to top it off, I was playing with the most recent build of Win2k at a friend's house, alongside an NT4.0 machine. To tell the truth, I couldn't tell which was which (other than the "Win 2000 build number...." at the corner of the screen). The biggest improvement I could see was that windows minimize really quickly -- they still start up slow as dogshit through a panty, and the disks still sound like someone is testing a cache-busting head scheduler on them everytime you access the file system.
I PULEEEEZE. You used i for what? 10minutes? Did you even look at the new control panel? The new administrative tools? Even look into active directory? COM+? MTS? If your friend was using IE5 on NT4, you could be forgiven for thinking that they sortta look the same, but Windows 2000's admin tools make NT4's look like the crap that they are. NT4's user manager etc were horrible. (although you could script it or use NET USER).
There are so many new features in Windows 2000, it's just going to take so much time to list them to someone who prolly doesn't care. Needless to say, saying Windows 2000 is NT4 is stupid.
Cause not everyone in the world uses Java. And Java solutions like RMI only work with Java objects - and the point of SOAP and XMLRPC is that it can work with everything. (DCOM _could_ work with everything - but it's harder to understand).
Slashdot Mirror
or oscilloscope software/hardware?
:)
You really can't do much electronics without one of those babies.
I don't think i can afford a real one, but what about oscilloscope cards?
I'm sure i could turn one of these 386 boards & mono monitors i have into a nice one if i had a card
Oh, and by the way, you can set Visual Studio to MDI or SDI.

WinCE rocks.
Netscape En....what did you say a netscape product?
:P
That explains everything
that one of the common complaints against palm-sized pcs was colour :P
:P
guess some people will have to change their arguments now that a non-ms standard has introduced colour.
by the way, the proper way to spell colour is colour
Arcade machine emulator for X.
It would require 10X that :P

Since when were the babblings and opinions of an editor the opinions of Microsoft?
IE5.
Seeing as MainSoft are the guys who 'ported' IE5 to Solaris with their win->unix tools.
I don't think it'll ever happen, but J++ just rocks :D~~~~.

donate to needier charities is frowned upon by people here :|

It's kind of VERY hard to lock up SOAP since XML is human readable, it wouldn't take much of a chimp to be able to figure out what tag does what.
