    Just look at the list of applications supported by Wine Why does the front page of WineHQ say "There are 9774 applications currently in the database", but if you add up the numbers in the sub-categories it comes to 6242"? Just wondering.

  4. phpGroupWare? on Quality Open Source Calendaring / Scheduling? · · Score: 1

    Does anyone have any experience with phpGroupWare? Is it mature? Applicable to OP's needs? Just thought I'd add it to the discussion since I didn't see it mentioned yet, and thought it might be worth considering. But I don't know how capable, full-featured an effort it is. They do provide a list of references/users. http://www.phpgroupware.org/

    Does it count as a denial of service if a *customer* does it *accidentally*?

    OK more than a little off topic, but maybe interesting in an historical artifact sort of way...

    It was 1976 and I was working on an IBM mainframe for the first time, using TSO (Time Sharing Option) to a local service bureau with hundreds of clients. Typing in my commands when dang, TSO went down and the whole system with it. After about 10 or 20 minutes it came back up, and I re-entered my stuff until dang, down it went again, and at the same spot. What are the chances of that, I wondered? Check the syntax, yup it's legitimate. Probably just a coincidence, better try it one more time. Sure enough, down it goes again at the same spot.

    Another wait, re-enter all commands just up to the suspect one, then call up the service bureau:

    - Have you been having trouble keeping the mainframe up?
    - Yes, we have.
    - I think I know why. Entering this particular command into TSO is causing the crashes.
    - No, that's impossible. No way that could happen.

    I push the enter key, and:

    - Well, is it up now?
    - No, gotta go.

    Sometimes you have to call your shot to make people believe.

    Isn't Tan just doing on a very small scale what Eric Schmidt, Larry Page et al are doing? I don't imagine that all those disparate people are there because of a genuine interest in Google, or because Google thinks they have important wisdom to pass on (despite the talks by some). They are trophies. And I would expect paid trophies at that. At least Tan isn't paying them for their picture. That makes him cooler than either Google or their celebrities picking up appearance fees. He is the only one who genuinely wants to be there.
