Isn't the guy who built Struts doing JSF? From what I've read of JSF, it seems to be a "if I could do it over, I would do it like this" kind of thing. Struts is great; I think JSF will be greater.
1. Those 486's that third world countries scrape together will soon be too expensive to maintain as finding parts for those machines becomes more difficult.
2. I'm suprised to hear complaints about performance when computationally expensive features are enabled (i.e., anti-aliasing).
I saw a short TechTV segment about Walmart selling PC's without any operating system at all. I took a look at the website and found some half-decent systems at half-decent prices. Hopefully this link will work for you.
You get a better bang for the buck with MiniDisc. Moore's Law says this will change, of course, but for high quality portable recording today, MiniDisc is tops.
I do like the fact that the Sountainer's most exciting aspect is its SDMI non-compliance.
I worked for both a dot-com and gov-con and they both spent a lot of money producing very little.
At the dot-com VC capital burnt quickly while the business managment did a lot of hand-waving and the technical management never set any direction. They fizzled down to a typical web projects company, their high technology product irrelevant.
At the gov-con, the government put priority on the project and the contractor literally shifted into the most inefficient mode possible in order to rack up the billable hours (my personal conclusion, of course). The project was finally stopped by the government.
I didn't like either. Btw, the government money (OUR money) spent on the dev-con utterly dwarfed the multi-million dollar VC investments in the dot-com.
i'll second that. i have yet to see a better driving sim than gpl. the sound is great too; it provides usable feedback. and that thing's been out forever.
To me, the major cost would be the retraining necessary to use free software. So, determine how much money would be saved over, say, two years and offer to split the difference among your employees. This gives employees some incentive to learn the new software and the company can start capitalizing on the savings in a couple years.
An unrelated point: if you install Windows on a virtual machine, you still need to pay the licensing fees.
start a programming project of your own at home. spend the time you want and develop to your own expectations. think of your masterpiece when your coding the drivel at work.
if you think starting your own company will give you the chance to do things right, you've got a surprise coming.
While the browser itself sucks (I could tell from a 30 second test run 5 months ago), the mozilla project created a bunch of cool tools to facilitate open source development (bugzilla, build tracking, etc.). These tools, and the lessons learned, are very valuable products of the project.
if you consider the alternatives, specifically software with price tag and trial version, this model doesn't look so bad. ok, so it's not totally free, but at least you can get a return on the effort you've put into the application and a lot of people still get to use free of charge.
john katz is saving me a lot of time. after a few katzicles, i stopped reading the full article and only skimmed the overview. after this review, i know i can skip those as well.
i know there are some big names at rational (i.e., the three amigos), but some of the rational software didn't have the quality i expected. it "worked" but some little bugs turned into big bugs the longer i used it (of course, there may be patches or newer versions out). i only hope they put more effort into a robust j++.
If you find the documentation is out of date, contribute to the project. If you are taking but not giving back, you have no right to complain about the state of the lpd. There is a ton of useful information in there; sure, it won't hold your hand through each little step of whatever it is you're doing, but, hell, it's free. Make your own brain a part of the solution. I'm afraid that developers are getting too used to pointing and clicking their way through every problem.

Can we sentence the RNCC to 3-6 months in jail?
You order and pay online and hit the store on your way home from work. You drive through and they put the stuff in your trunk. Why won't this work?
So tired of hearing about Google. I want a new company to worship...
a pointless meeting.
So how did it work out?

So when you buy a CD or DVD burner, it comes with a short string (a random-looking series of letters and numbers) to type into your computer.
Can I use my CueCat?

"Oh, and by the way, make sure it is high-performance, self-maintaining, self-documenting, and can be self-taught in 21 days."

But there are so many good programs that are less than 500 lines.

sweet! i was afraid the propaganda site was lost. but now it's found.

Currently I'm expanding upon a project that has a few thousand lines of code, and it's hardly documented.
the question then becomes: are you adding the missing documentation? i bet you aren't. and neither would i.
Don't know if you're bullshitting or not, but I observe the same effect after riding my motorcylce for an hour or more.

those two didn't invent anything; they just bought , stole and made the deals. it is those deals that makes them geniuses.
