I'm really not a language expert (this not being my home language and everything). But I was pondering the "Here are his questions and here are your answers" and was just still wondering who's answers and who's questions was it again?
What about Linuxconf?
I know it has profiles called Work and Home, though I've never dared to try it out I would assume it has something to do with it.
I have used my Nokia 8210 och Palm Vx to communicate through the IRDA and connect to my normal ISP.
Worked perfectly actually, I was surprised. You only need a fairly new Palm OS where you can select the IRDA stuff.
I used IMAP, telnet, IRC and ICQ, everything worked.
Fun for about 1 minute until the lack of speed (9600 bps) and the lack of a real keyboard (had to "type" the password in telnet about a million times before getting it right) took over.
Person A signs up for a webhosting at ISP X, person B hacks person A's pages. ISP doesn't care/too busy to notice and because person A is legally in charge of the content; person A goes to jail. Person B got a badass revenge. No?
Mind you I work for solutions. I convinced my bosses that I could have their solution ready by the time it would take to have their NT machines rebooted for the 10th time (ie. installed the software). Ok not all true but almost.
ASP is only good for very shortterm solutions, like guestbooks. I would never use it though. Big solutions get very bloated very fast in ASP. Not to mention impossible to extend.
Sure blame the developers, but you know that's the people that thinks ASP is the solution for everything. And that's the people that buy it. And that's the people that show that ASP = VB.
While I continusly update and improve that site our IT-department raises projects of major proportions when they realize that they need this kind of site for the whole business. I *know* that they will finally ask us how we did it, simply because we have a working solution that we *can* extend. Too bad someone managed to unplug the machine by mistake, the 300+ day uptime got lost.
No, it's not one line of PHP, it's made with Roxen.
Go on do your "productive solutions for clients", I do mine for servers and even MS has realized that's where the data is going to be.
See this is the whole problem. ASP is nothing without those tools and the whole platform. If you wanna support ASP, people are gonna ask for FP/InterDev support as well; and by then you're locked to MS' protocols (and we know what happens then).
"Reviewers tend to send the game back if it crashes even once."
You know, this is still the most wierd thing on earth; People can send back a losy game for not working, but what about all the programs people rely on at work that crashes atleast once a week? They sure as hell don't get sent back. WHY?
I keep asking myself why nobody (I hope to be corrected on this one) has created a "word processor" that uses, for example XML, exclusively.
I have been working out there long enough (doesn't take long though) to know that everybody makes their own Template macros/pages so that all their documents will look the same. Now, with that in mind, why not make a "word processor" that does exactly that; Stores all information in lets say an XML document and keep that Template-look in another file or whatever, just *not* in the mainfile. Only having the export-feature doesn't help, it only gets used when it's being presented in another environment. It's the information that we want, not the font style.
Yes I wanna use my Emacs to write my documents and yes this is what WWW could have been, but isn't. So someone has to start over before it's too late.
As someone pointed out earlier, why do it the MS way.
You are probably right. Though it makes you wonder if they really need *that* many NT servers to do the same job as any other Unix. I mean just look at the size of MS' own site, machinewize. Ofcourse they sell alot.
I don't know if it applies to everything there, but the one place I checked on that site was taken like 10 or 15 years ago, atleast. But you're right, it was still free:)

NT actually performs better in Quake than Win98 does.
Oh? On my machine software-rendered Quake was doing 50% of performance on NT compared to 98. So...
Nice idea and all, but really how many sysadmins like banners?
They have 8 of them there right now.
Fake and cheap site.
Deos this open up a new dimension of revenge?
