High Definition is not required. The digital standard broadcasts in both high def and standard def. All this is required is a television that can process the digital signal.
The US govt is offering $40 vouchers for households to buy analog-to-digital converters for their existing televisions.
Mozilla (and Firefox) gives you direct access to sockets.
They what?!?* Evil thoughts *. Anyone know if they have a trusted-domain security sandbox like the Java classloader, or whether they give you free reign? I will have answered my own question, probably, in a little bit.
I've had meetings that amounted to planning the next meeting... no joke... I also had managers play stupid "team building" games just because they had the time blocked out for a meeting and they didn't want to give up the room.
There is nothing more anoying than a useless meeting when I want to be writing code.
It seems strange to me that WINE implemented this flaw the same way. Was this actually a part of the real Windows DLLS that WINE uses, or was this perhaps a published part of the Windows Metafile API?
Looks like they just used RFID to monitor the type of pan. I guess that could be useful with the differences in conductivity, density, etc of each. My 3-year-old's play kitchen does this sort of thing, already, though. When you place the plastic eggs on it, it crackles, the spaghetti, it bubbles.
Sounds like some XML-enabled, service-oriented, 4-gl buzzwords being thrown around to me. *g*
J2EE only addresses server-side applications. Their biggest flaw was that the early specifications were needlessly complex. EJB 3.0 addresses that flaw perfectly, IMO.
Shouldn't we be spending our limited budget on something more interesting, like Europa, Ganymede or Titan? They should be easier to get to, from their distance.
Yes, I was aware of that. I know OOo split from the StarOffice codebase, but the two products have diverged a lot since that time. While I like the UI (that desktop thing sucks!) of OOo better, StarOffice seems to have better support for the M$ formats.
I wish people would ween themselves off of the M$ formats. There should be an open standard document format. We could even let M$ chair on it, like they do for OFX. That should make them happy... another chance to kiss puppies in front of the public.
I wasn't aware Sun made a Mac version of StarOffice. Their download site only lists Win-Ders, Linux, Solaris (x86) and Solaris (SPARC). I do think, however, that Sun should step in and fill that market. Jonathan Schwartz... if you are listening... that might be a good market to expand into.
I hate that everyone "requires" MS Office... I mean business, universities, etc. That is one of the few apps that have me with a forced-lockin with M$ (Dual-boot, of course). I have tried to pass off OpenOffice as MS Office docs, but the formatting is often broken between the two.
I started losing count of the number of times there were "bugs" in time-of-day-sensitive applications I wrote, schedulers and such. 100% of these bugs were due to one or more of these machines with an incorrect time.
I finally had to make it a formal requirement on production machines that we run ntpdate followed by a "hwclock --systohc" (to save us after a boot) in a cron job.
I used to joke, when Outlook was constantly being patched for VB script expoits, that I was just waiting for the day when M$ would find it a good idea to script-enable GIF images. Not so funny now that it is the case.
They are careful in the broadcast not say it is NOT a Trojan.

In that case we should get legislation passed to outlaw masturbation. Does anyone want to join my picket line?
"if it ain't broke don't fix it"
Are you really referring to Microsoft Windows with that phrase?
War is peace Freedom is slavery Ignorance is strength
Ugh... *shudder* Drag-and-drop "programmers".

Too much... it's hard to deliver spam to software with such poor uptime.

I didn't even entertain the idea of using it before it was cross browser. Therefore, every one of the dozens of examples are cross-browser.
This looks like the same AJAX "Hello World" I have read dozens of times before. Nothing new here.
Where are you going to find knowledgeable development/admin,etc staff in an Amish village somewhere?
A good OS is made of much more than a Play-Doh user interface.
As a programmer, I was thinking the same thing. Where do I post my rates?. J/K

But OpenOffice.org runs on the Mac just fine.

Last time I was able to get a sniff out of it, they had changed over to Win-ders boxes, at least at the visible part of the Internet.
