Fully clusterable, fault tolerant Application Server / Web server. Written in Java.
We designed our entire backend around it, thousands of users and it is extremely stable and has allowed us very fast development.
I program in C++, C and Java. Most of my work is C++. I have found Java is a better language to program in, it forces you to have better programming style.
Code that took me 4 weeks when using C++ takes me 2 weeks in Java and it is likely to have less bugs due to memory allocation problems etc..
We have also found that anyone that is pretty new to programming can pick up Java and become a useful programmer in 1/5 of the time it would take if they were using C++ or C.
According to these guys you can buy and order this now and they will ship it the next day. Plays CD/CDR/CDRW has 45 second anit-skip. Display seems a little small though.
Also see OnShare (read my earlier post for more details).
Basically no client needed to download (can d/l via web browser). Has bandwidth shaping, group system, access control for groups, handles any type of file.
Check out www.onshare.com. You can create groups with access control, administrators.. etc. + you *don't* need a client to download. You can download directly from a web browser.
Already been done.. Linux and Java client coming very soon. The java client is done and in testing. The win32 version that is out there now has support for bandwidth throttling.. per user and total bandwidth.
Looking at the API it looks like you pass it some parameters.. position/velocity/acceleration and then your computer calculates what the gizmo should do and tells it to do that. I'm assuming this from the API section where they have a function that can send a value directly to the hardware.
Re: the 1 frame lag.. it looks like it needs velocity, acceleration and position. It doesn't need the change, just the current values.
Quote from their API Section.
This function passes a value to the filters and the bypasses the math functions of the MotionWare driver. This is for games that have widely different methods of representing position than one of the existing library functions. It is recommended that programmers NOT use this function unless absolutely necessary. */
Does anyone know what the tax on the gains from selling these shares will be? Lets say you bought 100 at the IPO price of 30 and then sold at 270. Therefore selling for a total of 27000. Any idea of what the tax on this would be?
Can someone explain to me what a sell order is? How does it work?
I called to confirm the shares this morning and I'm considering whether to sell or not now (DB lines are continually busy so I can't get through to a broker anyways).
Interesting competitor.. based around communities sharing files. Same idea as napster/cutemx but you share files with groups of people (+ all of the interface is on the web).
No linux client yet for sharing:( But you can download files.. 'cause it's all on the web.
I don't think that Hollywood can do it, it is not mainstream enough. I think that some independent producer *will* do it sometime though, and it will be a minor success. Geek culture seems to be an upcoming market that people are beginning to recognize. There is more of a market out there for a movie about real (or well semi-real:) hacking than you might think.
Are there any public/private key crypto system implementations out there now that are not covered by patents? Diffe Helman was mentioned in an earlier post, are there any companies that produce libraries to that use public/private key system?

Crappy sound output? Mine sounds great.

I wonder if it is possible to get poster sized prints of his work?

Java 1.1 and win32 client available now.
Oh yeh.. + you don't need a client to access the files that people are sharing.. can search and download via a web browser (without any plugins).

Even if it doesn't hurt their bottom line.. watch their stock price take a hit.

OnShare - Bootdisk
If other people could share it in this group that would be cool.
Whoops.. there's the link.
http://www.onshare.com/filelist.jsp?dirid=19014&gu est=true If the web site is down I shared the bootdisk on OnShare.
