Click "Publish" in visual studio, enter the location for your shared directory, and you have a fully working ASP.NET MVC app running on Linux, without leaving Windows.
What would be nice if I could do all of that without leaving OS X.:)
If the guy saved you millions then hire a few guys to help document what he did. Remember... he saved you millions, so there should be some spare money now.
Uh... Errr... Ohhh... I see... you got a bonus and so did a lot of the management team, and the savings is almost gone now. Ohhh... yeah fire the guy.
with silver light they can service both mac and pc and eventually linux users with one application instead of 3.
Wow thats awesome and eventually Linux. Actually since they only have to support one application Linux is already here magically.
Because flash players don't benefit from the magical powers found in silverlight they have to support 3 applications. Not so with Silverlight just 1 application.
The silver light version normalize the experience on the mac and pc.
Unless you run an unsupported mac. Like my dual processor G5.
Now in the scheme of a large company where you don't deal directly with the owner, it is still the same thing.
Possibly. Not sure I agree on this point. Regardless this is not a large company this is a governmental entity. If President Obama wanted the password to a router in my hometown and one for which I controlled then he would not get it unless it was an executive order. Not sure anything like this happened in this case
Let me run that by you one more time. The only company that supplies computers with OS X preinstalled. If that isn't the definition of a monopoly, please do tell me what is.
I must be missing something or you are very good a stating the obvious.
Apple is... the only company that supplies computers with OS X preinstalled.
Ford is the only company that supplies a Ford car with a Ford engine preinstalled
So are you saying anyone that sells something only they make is the definition of a monoppoly?
Be honest. Have you read the source code of EVERY program you run, and of your operating system?
No. But I don't read EULA's either. That doesn't mean that EULA should be secret and trusted. I remember a few years back when Apple tried to do something fishy with its EULA for.mac and in less than 24 hours it was being reported widely so I did become aware of even though I probably wouldn't have read it.
Also remember when the Zune just stopped working on December 31st of this year. The problem was found and corrected within just a few days. Why? Was it because the source to the offending driver was a secret and the company that made it had big hearts and decided to "help" find that pesky bug? No its because the bug was in software that was available for public scrutiny. And the bug was found.
You just can't make generalizations over which type of traffic is more "important".
Yes, you can and should. Your problem is when you start to pit me against my neighbor. What if the person doing the uploading is the same person talking to his grandmother. Then he WILL want to make sure his grandmother hears and understands what he is saying and he will also want his upload to complete, and both can be accomplished. To accomplish it there may need to be some traffic shaping to make sure both interests are met.
They better be completely transparent about any "special rules" like "no more than 128kb/sec will get preferential treatment" - that's more than enough for 2 simultaneous 2-way audio channels.
I don't necessarily agree that they have to share everything they are doing as some of those things may give them a competitive edge and if shared give their competitors an advantage. Sort of like Googles page rank algorithm they don't give it away but over time many have sort of figured it out.
I do like the idea of a guaranteed minimum. I always see the maximum speeds, but would like to be guaranteed a minimum. This number could be used to create a sufficient backbone. I would gladly switch to a service that could guarantee that my phone calls would be given priority over other things I might be doing.
I think the comparison to my neighbor argument is faulty. I may be on the phone and downloading a file, and watching a youtube. I would like to be sure that my call is given higher priority over my video and download, and I would then want my video clip to have the next priority.
So it would seem to me the company that could put together the best package would sort of rise to the top.
I am very excited that Cox IS telling their customer what they are doing. I find this much more palatable than some of the "secret" things that other providers are doing. This may seem like I am talking out of both sides of my mouth but I don't think so. I think a general statement that says we are shaping traffic is good and should be stated, I don't necessarily think they should be compelled to disclose exactly how they are doing that.
Now, Apple's application for this patent is over 250 pages, so it is probably is very specific.
I do not know what is contained in the patent but is it just a touchscreen patent or is it an iPhone patent. The iPhone uses an accelerometer and a gyroscope to detect user input as well are these part of the patent. If so then it does seem that the patent is much more than touching a screen.
It's the difference between building new and exciting interfaces that start with the iPhone and expand beyond it, and instead having everyone else have to build ugly hacks to avoid infringing on that patent even when the iPhone is a horribly obsolete product.
I am curious why do you think patents prevent someone from building on the idea?
Yep, and the reasons the concatenated device doesn't equal any of the individual devices may be because it give the company that makes it a reason to offer you a better version next week.
I think a WiFi system would be pretty cool though. Some sort of OpenConf method for me to discover the merchant when in the building and have the receipt digitally sent to my phone over wifi and I just authorize the payment with a few clicks.
Basically a local version of a web payment
It wouldn't even require a connection to the internet just an ad-hoc WiFi network.
And for those that post their elaborate what if someone wants to frame you theories. Huh?
There are a lot of ways someone could be framed.... but P2P??
I don't get it. Thats like saying I am not going to drive a car because it has a serial number on it that can be traced back to me the owner of the car and someone could sneak into my garage and take my car out and do crazy things with it and then take pictures and send them to the police, and then they could and then and.......

My $1350 dell ($2050 minus $800 deal) has been working for several years now
I would skip the $1350 dell and go with the less expensive Apple MacBook.
My view of this type of programmer is probably rather skewed because one of them actually managed to bankrupt a company I was working for...
Probably is as the posted indicated this Josh saved them millions
Depending on the size of the company millions may have different hues, but in my book thats a lot.
oops, above should have said...
And then you HAVE people like Reiser WHO get a pass, when we have compelling evidence of their arrogance.
I always laugh when people criticize Linus Torvalds, or unmentioned so far Dan Bernstein, or other brilliant individuals.
Then they proceed as if we are to accept these criticisms as somehow authoritative without any evidence to back it up.
And when you challenge them for evidence it usually goes along these lines.
I would respectfully submit that meist3r and the like are demonstrating the very thing they are accusing others of having

Also, if the videos are no longer available, why don't they remove the links so you don't try to watch the video?!?
Are you seriously asking this? If I bookmarked a video last week, it goes offline then when I click my bookmark what would you expect me to see?

It sounds like the problem isn't that web journalism is lite but that there really isn't a lot of new information.
Now if I can just get AutoCAD to run...
Use BootCamp
I don't care what the end user runs on his machine. And that is the reason I buy Apple hardware for most all of our machine purchases
I think Apple hardware runs Microsoft Windows better than most others.

Apple isn't even willing to allow an interpreted language on the iPhone

They knew it was a mirror and not the publishing server ... no warrant was shown to the colo maintainer
Perhaps they also knew that the colo maintainer of the primary server would have required a warrant.
yep
Obviously you have never used OS X. I gleaned this nugget when you said early OS X releases were "crap".
So if I create this really elaborate scenario whereby I can show that the system can be rigged I am modded as insightful?
yep. Win. Win.

Good Grief
Maybe this will stifle their use and kill the format.
Maybe this is a good use of the patent system.
I also think any web forum that uses them should pay through the nose to this guy for the revenues he has surely lost.
This will have the greater effect of stifling all such uses in the future.
The more I think about it the more convinced I am that this is an excellent use of the patent system.
