So called "Web 2.0" means JavaScript. JavaScript is run on the client side.
I fail to see why this requires supercooled servers, and until now I didn't even think it was possible to use the "Web 2.0" buzzword on hardware.
...that this post is about the fact that not much have changed since previous versions of windows, rather than showing off the "attack", since this obviously is a trick that has worked before and is still working. At least that's how I see it.
Under which license is the algorithms being released? If it's a BSD-like license, MS will probably be all over it, but if it's a GPL license, it may be harder for them to claim the algorithms as their own, since they'll have to open up their own code.
At least that's what I think.
Aye. That iceberg thing didn't have much to do with it after all, eh? The iceberg was made up. They blew up the hull themselves just to get rid of Leonardo DiCaprio.
It's like the situation here in Sweden. The government is increasing the rent on all apartments to shorten the lines, but that will leave more people on the streets. Increasing the domain price may perhaps make the spammers think twice, but it will not stop them. It will instead affect honest users to the degree that they may not be able to pay for their domains.
Bad move.
I've had a 10 machine openmosix cluster going for several years now, problem free. That's interesting. How did you do it? I once worked with a team of about 4 people, and we made a custom GNU/Linux distro to be run in a cluster environment. We set it up on 12 machines. OpenMosix just would't work. If someone in the team had a hard time spelling "Kernel panic", he now can spell it backwards in a blink of an eye.
We ended up using OpenMPI and distcc, and we were so much happier!
I'll show them! Bring me some games and a Linux box! Err.. hello?!
Seriously, there are some good Linux games out there. But face it, most of us are going to use Wine to be able to play our games. That's a shame. While I agree with some of the game programmers' arguments, like compatibility issues between the many flavours of Linux that exist today, it's still no excuse for not trying. I mean, look at ID software. They prove it can be done.
I totally agree. Why people still use Hotmail when GMail is around is a mystery to me. GMail works perfectly in about every browser I've tried, including cell phone and PDA browsers. Google even provides a Java GMail app to use on your phone/PDA.
"They are doing this because it is advancing their business model. Over 50 percent of IBM's revenues come from consulting services."' And you're not trying to advande your business model by promoting OOXML?
Google's Android is a great framework, but it has yet to gain substance by being embedded in real hardware. If Google and Dell put their heads together, we might have a complete product. It will probably never outgrow the iPhone in popularity, but I think it will become a success. Also, because Android is an open framework, we should expect a great number of third-party applications, something that the iPhone currently lacks.
I totally agree with you. Here in Sweden we have our health care run by the government. Unfortunately that's about to change now when our left wing government has been replaced by a coalition of right wing parties. A few public hospitals have already been shut down in favour of private care, resulting in longer waiting lines for patients. Of course, if you can pay (alot) you can take advantage of the private hospitals, but there are few who can.
Exactly, just look at game consoles. Just a few days ago they managed to find a way to run homebrew code on the Wii without a modchip. All DRM is quickly broken if there is enough interest. I still don't get why they do it, if I get a computer, I should be able to run whatever program I want on it, change the OS, overclock it ETC. I totally agree. I thought that the iPhone would be a cool and awesome gadget, but it appears that Apple is a die-hard fan of DRM, so I'll probably develop for OpenMoko instead.
Apple, you just lost yourselves a developer!
As late as yesterday I read in a popular swedish computer magazine that Asus is producing an internal HD-DVD player, so at least Asus is confident that it's not dead.
Let's wait and see...
Vista may have less flaws, but the ones discovered are far more serious than the average flaw on for exampe GNU/Linux and Mac OS X. Vista's had some serious security issues, and so has other systems, but open source sysems generally receives fixes faster, due to the number of developers working on them. This means more bugs get fixed within a given time period, hence the higher number of fixed flaws. Also, Red Hat includes fixes to included third-party software in it's reports.
Less bugs fixed does not equal fewer bugs.
Even better! I'm a Mac user, so I use Safari and Firefox. I prefer Safari because it's faster, but I use Firefox when Safari can't handle a specific page.
The browser included with the Syllable OS (ABrowse) is also based on webkit, so it would be cool if it was to support HTML5 before IE does:D
Firefox and Opera will support this first. After a while Safari will probably support it. Microsoft will then either make their own standard for IE7 which includes a lot of proprietary extensions which _all_ web designers will use, giving us the same incompatibility problems as we have today, or they will not implement HTML5 at all, forcing all web designers/developers to use HTML4 because IE lacks support for HTML5.
That's at least how I think it will play out.
MS Mafia 2008. Buy now and get a 50% discount on "protection".
Seriously, if this is allowed in the software world, it's not a world I'd like to live in.
What will happen if a person, experiencing stress or fear for something not terror related, was to be passing by one of these sensors? Would military personnel still gun that person down? It's easy to make mistakes and later come with excuses like "He kinda looked like a terrorist to me".
I pity the fools who believe this will actually work efficiently.

so you need the TCP/IP module? Too bad...

That would make MS "Lord of the Rings". Bad joke, I know. Just had to say it :)
