    I once had a discussion about how Computer Science can't be outsourced. My premise was that innovation can't be out sourced but i forgot about the respect for IP thats in our culture but in others.

    what do u mean you've been burned by this? you've been punished, as a company, for doing it? Many comments here suggest that it would be hard to punish? please explain how you were caught and punished.

    But this article is about tablets being used in business environments ... negated the entire point of the article ...
    Perhaps, but thats taking what I said a little far. Yes the android would have the potential to have fleet management apps where the effort would be a bit invasive to put it on the iPhone app store. I would ask for a refinement of the definition of Fleet Management but now we are ignoring my second point... DO YOU LIKE FLEET MANAGEMENT ON YOUR WORK COMPUTER? Many teachers use Macs specifically to get out of having fleet management software on their computers. Sorry about the spelling, I guess I missed a word or something

    It doesn't need anti malware for the same reason XO doesn't. NO IPC means you can't infect one program with another.
    There are no fleet management components or APIs.
    go to an anderoid tablet for that. This is a consumer product that wants to mantain a consumer image. Do you actually like the fact that your IT department emposes fleet management software on your desktop at work?
    There are no policy controls to prevent data theft of give data protection at all (aside from DRM).
    whats that kill switch people have been harping on about? I have this suspicion that the iOS security model is made by the guy behind bitfrost

    not to mention there's a guide to writing Techinfo pages also. While I get the humor, man page writing isn't programming so I don't think it would fit in a book Named "The Linux Programming Interface"

  14. Re:Baby Steps on Gosling Reacts To Apple's Java Deprecation · · Score: 1

    lets not underestimate the difficulty of writing a full Java implementation from scratch. The least apple could have done is release the source under some BSD (CCDL ?) or GPL license. I still can't quite imagine how to get things to display on MacOS without X11 or linking in Cocoa some how. Do you suspect they'll stop porting X11 to MacOS soon? do you think their Ease of Unix Portability is worth that much to them? I have my doubts. I may appreciate having a MacBook so I can do all my posix programming and play games but I don't know if I can keep up my objectivisim if they keep on this path. I get the "Why can't Oracle do it" but they didn't exactly make it easy..

  15. Re:It sucks I agree on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Oh, no, they're playing the fence till they can find a viable use for it. Now SPARC, thats what needs adopting. I see uses in embedded if they can cool the bloody things. I just don't see Oracle pursuing that avenue, they can make some grate Routers with that. Routers, managed IB switches, thin clients. All they're going to do is sell it to HPC vendors for accelerating their databases for science and finance. Same goes for Solaris; all the hardware abstraction coolness (crossbow, ZFS, Zones) are too expensive to market alone. Until they can improve their marketing of the system as a whole infrastructure, (look at all the cool stuff we just did with this: Appel style) they will continue selling them as addons to OracleDB. Oracle didn't understand Sun completely.

  16. Re:It sucks I agree on The State of Linux IO Scheduling For the Desktop? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Not to be combative, I bet you're right, but which IO scheduler were you using? There are three, if you were using a desktop distro like an Ubuntu desktop variant they were using the sense 2007 it was using cfq, otherwise it was using the deadline scheduler on a server distro. If it was 2007, I dont know which you might have been using.
