Actually, I was going to transfer away, but Dotster contacted me and changed the price for domain registrations and renewals for my account to the GoDaddy price for here on out. So they certainly kept my business. Dotster is a fantastic registrar.
Now, I may take GoDaddy up for a SSL Cert though. $40 ain't bad.
Isn't all that impressive? Everytime I show it to people and show them all of the things it lets you do, they all start begging me for an invite. The Gmail interface is very utilitarian, much like their search interface. It also loads a *lot* faster than Yahoo!'s
I must second this. I was able to use Spring's MVC and other tools very quickly as it was easy to understand and the examples were very good. At the time I started, the docs weren't very good, but they've gotten a lot better.
I've tried using Struts a few times, but it kept failing my 30 minute rule. (30 minutes to at least get some demo going other than "Hello World") Whereas I had the same idea of a demo going in Spring in about 15 minutes, on the first try.
I think Spring's advantage is it's IoC style of configuration and it's use of POJOs instead of the Struts style of extending one of their classes for everything.
You do remember the whole anti-trust trial right? They were declarded a monopoly, they just didn't get a very significant punishment for it.

There's also a (somewhat unrelated) project of the same ilk for CVS called, unsurprisingly, TortoiseCVS (different developers IIRC, same idea though, hence the similar name).
Somewhat unrelated? TortoiseSVN is a straight mod of the TortoiseCVS codebase made to work with Subversion. Yes it's different developers, but the TortoiseSVN guys got a giant head start on TortoiseSVN by using the code from TortoiseCVS. It's mentioned on both sites. I use them both, they are amazing tools.
Along those lines I used to call Apple Tech support back when I support a Mac lab at school and when the first level guys would answer the phone, I would immediately rattle off the answers to the first 10 questions before they barely had a chance to say hello and then simply say "I need to talk to level 2.". I always got transferred.:-)

To me a big problem with SMTP is that is never authenticated. There's no way you can verify anyone actually sent you an email, short of PGP keys.
At least if some one had to authenticate to send as joe@bar.com, some spammer would have to hack your password before they used your email address as the "From:" in a mailing...which just happened to me.
Ah, I agree with you. I should have put in my post that I am not playing Planetside for that very reason. I can't jusitfy $12/month for another game I might play a few times, since I already play DaoC. Also considering I can get the same sort of experience playing Day of Defeat which is free.
I was in beta and I can assure you I have a lot more fun in Dark Age of Camelot. SWG feels so much like the pain and torture that is Everquest, meaning that I knew this game was going to be run like SOE's other games and only the people who join uber guilds and play most of the week are going to excel at all. I have better ways to spend $15 a month.
For those that want really fast action and aren't into standing around and killing MOB after brainless MOB, should look at Planetside. RvR in DaoC is close, but the breakneck pace of Planetside can get the excitment going.

Um, I think the point should be that private members shouldn't even be visible. That's why their private! At compile time, runtime or anytime, private or protected elements should remain that way. Otherwise, what's the point of marking them that way?
The one thing I think that kills Entity Beans for me is that they don't scale very well, in their design alone.
For example: Say you have a findBy method that returns a 10000 row result set, but since it's EJB, it just returns the Primary Keys, then there's a second lookup for each of the 10000 keys to refresh the bean information. Now, take that to 100000. It really starts to get slow.
I know no one said Entity Beans are a magic bullet, but when I think of "Enterprise Applications", I think large data sets and Entity beans clearly aren't made for that.
Now, as other posters have said, I love Session Beans and use our own custom persistence to get the data in and out of the DB.
Amen to the future account balance forecasting feature of MS Money. I too have yet to find another package that does this, although it seems like a easy enough thing to do.
Where did you find the Balance Predicter Extension? I didn't see it on their site.
But what I think you are missing here is that even if I was running a Linux distro from a few years ago that the kernel from that time is still being supported, as well as most of the packages (which of course I might have to upgrade individually ). I have all my upgrade paths before me, all for free. And I really think the important thing in that sentance is "free". To get to the "supported" platform from MS, you have to pay their fees. And they get to decide when your obsolete.
someone is working on something like that...but for coverting from almost all databases to each other (ie SQL Server to Oracle, SQL Server to DB2...etc)
It looks like Postgresql conversions are "Coming Soon"...here's hoping they can do it.

Yeah, that's great for CMP 2.0, but our design requires BMP...seeing as how CMP can't switch DBs based on criteria, which our app does.
And how exactly has CMP 2.0 managed to get passed 1+n? Please, do tell.
