just a caveat: I'm all for continuous integration. I'm just not convinced that cc.net is the tool for the job. Also, check out VS.net 2005. For better or worse, almost all of these tools are provided by Microsoft in the next Visual Studio Release. For starters, it includes: MSBuild (so long NAnt!) Unit Testing (so long NUnit) Build Automation (so long CruiseControl) Refactoring (so long Resharper )
Cruise Control is a waste of time. It's big, it's bloated, and it's horrible at handling large vs.net solutions (try to use Cruise Control on a solution that has re-used code, and thus has projects distributed throughout your source control system: you'll find that you have to maintain your ccnet.config in parallel with your.sln).
Tell me one thing you can do with CruiseControl that you can't using Nant/NantContrib and a job/scheduled task. With Nant you can get-latest (also by label and autobuild), it has a nice solution task for building Vs.net solutions you can handle email notification in nant (rendering CC's notification a bit redundant IMO).
Sure, Cruise Control has some fancy bells and whistles like Agents squaking on your screen that the build failed, but and the end of the day, CruiseControl is just an unnecessary layer of complexity on top of Nant, which can handle the job just fine.
As I hope everyone knows, the zine 2600 has been around for a long time, and focuses on all things hackish. It's a great magazine, and deserves the support of the community.
In Los Angeles, the head of the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said U.S. officials who detected the undersea quake tried frantically to get a warning out about the tsunami.
But there was no official alert system in the region, said Charles McCreery, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's center in Honolulu.
"It took an hour and a half for the wave to get from the earthquake to Sri Lanka and an hour for it to get... to the west coast of Thailand and Malaysia," he said. "You can walk inland for 15 minutes to get to a safe area."
"We tried to do what we could," he said. "We don't have contacts in our address book for anybody in that part of the world.".... http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?typ e=topN ews&storyID=7180384&pageNumber=1
Me too: I've been running Gentoo on my iBook for months now too. Sound, mouse, Xwindows, airport card... I don't know what the post means by "finally", as if YDL is the only dist that runs on PPC.
maybe... i see the point that it's good of slashdot to hang it out there for our opinions and input. but... hosting him only admits that Slashdot thinks he's got *some* credibility. What would you think of i.e. the New York Times (just an example of a major publication) if they gave an interview to the head of the KKK (random example of someone usually considered 'bad')?--- you'd think "what the heck are they doing down at the NYtimes that they'd stumble upon such and idea? Sure, he can think what he wants, but why is the NYTimes even allowing him airtime?" this would seem to be a bad interview choice on slashdot's part.
as i see it, the danger is not that people will be shocked and become pro-active ('we've gotta do something about this!'). the danger is that people will say "so? i'm not surprised" and go back to sleep. what amazes me is that, in my experience, this doesn't particularily amaze anyone; is it because the entire notion is so mind-boggling that it just fails to register?
the advent of an all-on-one device that is a phone-palmpilot-mp3player- internetbrowser-remotecontrol-tv-with voice recognition etc. is exciting. but does it strike anyone else that (e.g.) the qualcomm pdQ already falls terribly short of what we should be expecting? the technology for something much much better is certainly there. what's holding it back?
if i used this to write something for English Comp 101, would that be considered plagiarism?
i remember d.dennett talking about a computer that composed music. they did a "turing test" in the form of a performance of obscure stuff done by classical composers and music composed by the computer. --convert goers were asked to try to guess which was (e.g.) mozart and which was the computer-- people didn't do too well.
