  1. Some crazy people out there on Upgrade Trick Still Present In Vista SP1 · · Score: 0

    Who would be crazy enough to buy Vista in the first place? I got a "free" copy with my latest hardware... First thing I did was wipe the disk clean and replace it with Ubutunu + XP.

  2. Re:Better Mirror on CMU Professor Randy Pausch's 'Last Lecture' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Parent should be modded up.

  3. Re:Carbon Free? on Small Electric Car May Usher In Big Changes · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked more than 80% of the electricity in France comes from carbon-free sources : mainly nuclear and some hydro. So it's definitely possible without a perpetual motion machine! It would be great if these are available and affordable when I move to Paris next year.

  4. Why this is a smart move by Jobs on Steve Jobs Announces (some) DRM-free iTunes · · Score: 1

    1. People buy the 256 Kbit/s DRM free songs, 2. iPod memory fills up 3. iPod upgrades galore 4. Profit!!!

  5. Diminishing MS air supply on Google Hiring Programmers to Work on OpenOffice · · Score: 1
    It's a win-win move for Google and everyone except MS.

    The world gets improved OSS. And MS may get less $$$.

  6. Impact of Universal CRUDS on Google Developing Database Service · · Score: 1

    Up until now to create a simple web CRUDS (Create, Read, Update, Delete, Search) application you had to know HTML, SQL and {PHP|PERL|JAVA), etc.!

    And even if you know what you're doing it still takes time and money to get CRUDS done right.

    Google Base is going to change that radically. It reduces the cost of CRUDS to ZERO.

    Some of the consequences will be:

    • Demand for small custom webapps will go down, or have to move to a new Google Base environment.
    • Web sites that already provide similiar services like http://server.com/ and http://myweblists.com/test will likely die.

    Increased competition with MSFT because they want these applications on the desktop using Office 12.

    Google Base may be leading us to the universal ATOM store. More info. at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/09/21/atom-store-web -database.html

    Sorry for the crappy formatting, but I couldn't figure out how to associate text with the URLs.

  7. DWR makes Ajax with Java dead simple on Better Web Apps With Ajax · · Score: 1
    After doing some some stuff in raw XMLHttp, I'm now using DWR http://getahead.ltd.uk/dwr/ [getahead.ltd.uk].

    So far it's been great.

    DWR is very easy to add to add to a project, well documented, and light-weight. It makes AJAX so easy because javascript stubs are generated automatically for the Java classes you decide to export.

    For testing and exploring, DWR creates an interactive web page generated automatically by the DWR servlet. From those pages you can see exactly which classes and methods you have access to and the number of parameters required! From there you can even call your server side methods interactively.

    Look ma no code!
