When I saw that JBoss announcement I was wondering wtf. How does that tie in with their xcaml builder tool spakle or sprinkle, whatever its called. I keep arguing that Visual Basic "made" their developer market (in the early days). I guess they believe their tool is simple enough to become what visual basic was, but for the SaaS market.

"We got in my little Toyota pickup that I had at the time, we drove it to Egghead, and we literally bought one of every multimedia application in the store," Cole says. "Picture a small-size Toyota pickup and the back of it is heaped with boxes of applications, games, all kinds of crazy multimedia stuff. We brought them all back, literally backed the truck up to the building, and we handed them out to all the employees and said, 'We've got to get these things tested.'"
I thought about this when John Romero http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_Software was said to be starting a "hand held gaming api" or something to that effect. It made sense on a dedicated system but a phone? Who has a phone that would keep a charge while pumping out high quality 3D images?
Microsoft is inovative because: Article Part 1: Even though they didn't invent the parts they make copies of the enventions so they will work with other Microsoft products. Article Part 2: Microsoft has enough money to make the products that they "tweeked" work better than the poor smuck that actually invented it.
Most memorable statements:
but I consider the Tablet PC (a form factor that hadn't been tried before),.NET generics which escape the problem of code bloat found in C++ templates, and custom SQL aggregation functions written in.NET that are a feature of the next version of SQL Server (Yukon) to be good examples.
Microsoft's unique area of innovation, however, isn't technology-specific, though it is certainly related to it.
Apple had a tablet when?.NET less bloated than C++?
Well, at least the final sentence is true. Microsoft's area of innovation is definately not in the technology department.

At least he touched on a big reason so people I know avoid engineering. In short: Your the "gfy I outsource to save money" employee.
If you really want to be a successful engineer you have to avoid the job that requires dna samples, or photo copies of genitalia, as proof that everything you think of (while at work or not) will be the property of whatever incompetent rich f****r your working for. Get a job at as either a tax/divorce attourney, a dentist/vet, or run for . Sure they all require a heafty amount of money before success (see: G.W. Bush). But, your job will be reasonably secure enough to invest as much income you want for your "ideas".

Lets go back in time. Back, say as far as the 1970's, to a time when people thought the world was flat and the moon landing was a farse. Oh wait. O.K. Lets not bother because people still beleive those things. How about we just take away the things those people have learned from scientific exploration. O.K. I still have nothing. Well, I guess he is correct. The shuttle and ISS where a complete and total waist of money and time. Everything we needed to know about imaginary things like - What effect does space have on people if they are there for long peroids of time and what is the feasability of a reusable craft - were already known to be the devil's lies. U.S. money is better spent supporting our missionaries and soldiers in those crazy arabic counties.

The moral argument against someone else owning my data will die when I do. I think the open source community needs this about as much as an open source blue screen of death.
Actually, power management does seem to be a problem for windowsPC. People that use Palm don't think about it because PalmOS takes care of it for you. One of their developers must have realized battery life, on a battery powered device, shouldn't be an afterthought. Go figure.
Am I the only one thinking outside of the shoe? We leave fingerprints all over the place -- drinking glass, doornobs, eyeglasses. When they create a device that you can stick your foot in for authentication.
The most difficult part of creating software is finding the bugs. The most difficult part of extending a piece of software is incorporating all of the things that people wanted without creating new bugs. With Microsofts extensive experience with extending software they might be able to do it correctly this time.
"So, given that CMT chips use less watts per unit of computing, why aren't..."
I think the "requires a 500W power supply part should answer this question".
What will this Cell Based system look like? - Our Speculation - MotherBoard supports up to 4 Cell Chips - Each Cell Chip will have its own Rambus main memory. The memory will be on plug in strips much like DDR etc - The Cell Chips on the motherboard will cooperate by means of FlexIO which is a multilane/serial technology. - There will be two slots meant for video cards. Similar to AGP but designed for Rambus, not AGP compatable, 10x faster than AGP. - All other I/O will be done by means of FlexIO similar to what is now possible with USB - except the system will boot from flexIO - There will be no legacy hardware support - NO PCI, AGP, usb, serial, parallel, ps2 , ethernet - nothing - The power supply will need to be about 500 watts. - power management will allow cell chips and parts of cell chips to be powered down when not in use. - There will be 16 FlexIO ports coming out the back. 2 in and 2 out for each Cell Chip. - Cluster can be created by stacking Cell Boxes and connecting them with the FlexIO cables.
On access virus scanning is better achieved with something like the AV file system. http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/project-antivirusfs.h tml I think it's just a matter of time before someone developes a way to add your own signatures to a AV signature database much like adding known spammers to an access.db file. McAfee, and others, would no longer be needed.
I'm surprised I haven't seen the words "embrace and extend" regarding Macromedia's interest in Eclipse. Anyone proficient with Eclipse doesn't need flash. The difference between content provided by Jakarta, Jboss, et el and flash is as different as using a computer vs. watching TV

Quicken runs under Wine if you have a windows partition.

And, I've already been asked if this will run on Linux.

What are the odds of getting some of these into the barrio, the projects, or at least the trailer park.
I read all 10 morals and still have not found the part that says: "make up your own and insert here -> -".
Oh well, I guess I'll get my games at the porn store. I like taking care of two things at a time anyway.

>>Moreover, with dual screens and/or multiple desktops, overlapping windows should be mostly a thing of the past.
Agreed. I can't stand to work without multiple desktops. Even multiple consoles are easier to work with than a single window desktop.
