Pekr 31-Mar-2010 [4803] | Dunno what is the last R2 version, which worked for Amiga .... |
AdrianS 31-Mar-2010 [4804x2] | has anyone here tried out the GuruPlug? http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/c-4-guruplugs.aspx |
the version with HDMI out seems interesting to create a nice home pc for an HDTV | |
Robert 31-Mar-2010 [4806x2] | I have a plug at home, that replaces the Ethernet share box from my NAT. Using the DroboShare gave me 5-10MB/s, using the Plug gives me 25MB/s over 1GB Ethernet. |
So, plug-computer is really cool (and I remember that I wondered for what they are worth it...) | |
AdrianS 31-Mar-2010 [4808x2] | not bad transfer rate - uses USB2, no? |
I wonder what you'd get with the GuruPlug's eSATA | |
Robert 31-Mar-2010 [4810] | Yes, USB 2. My Raid System doesn't has eSATA... |
Reichart 31-Mar-2010 [4811] | Microsoft will release Silverlight 4 in few months - makes it more regular dev platform, than just" a RIA. Includes support for printing, webcams, microphones, local video recording support, drag&drop, clipboard, multitouch .." So in other words, they are doing what should have been done day one, make all hardware interfaces a library call so any browser can just "be aware" of what is going on. |
Pekr 31-Mar-2010 [4812] | Reichart - yes, I was wondering too ... what is so special about clipboard, drag&drop, or even their other mentioned functionalities. |
BrianH 31-Mar-2010 [4813] | They're all a good idea for applications that run outside of the browser, and that is the main focus of the Silverlight 4 update. |
Reichart 31-Mar-2010 [4814] | Why any "device" is treated differenly just confused me. Why can't I drag a file from my desktop to a webpage, and if that page is set up to handle it, allow it to uploadload the file in the background? Why can't I just direct outlput of anything on my computer ot a path, a path that could be a website? Why can't I simply PIPE things from one place to another? I get the security concerns, but this can be handled with a requester. I'm tired of the silliness... |
Pekr 31-Mar-2010 [4815] | then tell Carl to finally finish REBOL OS :-) |
Henrik 31-Mar-2010 [4816] | Why can't I simply PIPE things from one place to another? Just give me 10 years... :-) |
BrianH 31-Mar-2010 [4817] | Or use Gabriele's pipe scheme. Or PowerShell. |
Pekr 2-Apr-2010 [4818] | http://www.osnews.com/story/23097/Quake_II_Ported_to_HTML5:-) |
Robert 2-Apr-2010 [4819] | http://sapstreamwork.com/ Is SAP changing their business model and strategy? From ERP to collaboration... |
Gregg 2-Apr-2010 [4820] | Competing with Workday? |
Reichart 2-Apr-2010 [4821] | http://www.youtube.com/sapstreamwork#p/u/5/G-8J1YEkaQcUh...........WTF? |
Maxim 2-Apr-2010 [4822] | you don't like the colors? ;-D oh you mean... "When The Fuck would I ever use this?" |
Reichart 2-Apr-2010 [4823] | I feel like I just saw the obfuscated way to use....a "table". |
Maxim 2-Apr-2010 [4824x2] | I really like the option to hide the table's text ... very usefull feature. HAHAHAHA |
you should add an option in qtask wiki, to "hide content" :-P | |
Reichart 2-Apr-2010 [4826] | We have that, select all, change text colour to WHITE. |
Maxim 2-Apr-2010 [4827] | :-D |
Janko 3-Apr-2010 [4828] | http://www.roughlydrafted.com/2010/04/02/ipad-the-destroyer-19-things-it-will-kill/ -- this guy is a little too optimistic.. |
Pekr 7-Apr-2010 [4829] | Haiku raises some funds, contracts full-time developers - power of open-source? http://www.osnews.com/story/23121/Haiku_Hires_Several_Contractors_Pushes_for_Alpha_2_Beyond |
Pekr 9-Apr-2010 [4830x2] | RIM buys QNX! Finally some more publicly visible company (which Harman/Kardon is not) bought one of the best OSes ever) - Research In Motion Buys QNX Software |
So, when R3 will run on Blackberry? :-) | |
Reichart 10-Apr-2010 [4832] | publicly visible company (which Harman/Kardon is not) Strange sentence HK is something like a 4 billion in rev company, and RIM is 3.5. HK is all over the world, doing huge business in China (about 1 billion of that), and India as well. They are in cars and laptops, and sold with computers. In terms of number of impressions, I'm not sure you can say "not". |
BrianH 10-Apr-2010 [4833] | True that. At least RIM has more of a reputation for making devices known to have operating systems. HK makes devices with operating systems, but most people probably wouldn't realize that. I wonder if this QNX buy will be a good thing for QNX fans. QNX has been gradually dropping support for desktop QNX (primarily their development environment); the one-floppy QNX distro had many fans who were sad to see it go. |
Maxim 10-Apr-2010 [4834x3] | my peeve about QNX is that they only support ati cards. |
(ATI and QNX both being based in Ontario is a probable cause :-) isn't RIM also based in Ontario? | |
but the QNX OS is realllly nice.f | |
Graham 11-Apr-2010 [4837] | http://gizmodo.com/5365299/courier-first-details-of-microsofts-secret-tablet |
btiffin 11-Apr-2010 [4838] | I was hoping RIM would come to Ottawa, merge in with some of the QNX space, but I fear that might be an optimistic view. |
Maxim 12-Apr-2010 [4839] | is RIM in toronto? |
Steeve 12-Apr-2010 [4840x2] | depending of country side almost |
WG | |
AdrianS 12-Apr-2010 [4842] | RIM has offices in Waterloo and Mississauga - Waterloo's about an hour and a half from Toronto - Mississauga borders Toronto |
Pekr 12-Apr-2010 [4843] | Palm for sale? HTC and Lenovo reported being interested - http://www.osnews.com/story/23143/Bloomberg_Palm_Has_Put_Itself_Up_for_Sale |
Henrik 13-Apr-2010 [4844] | http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebKit2 Description of Webkit 2's new process model. |
Sunanda 14-Apr-2010 [4845] | Perl 5.12 available....Better UNICODE, extensions, time beyond 2038. http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2010/04/msg158820.html |
Maxim 14-Apr-2010 [4846] | you mean it took them 10 years just to insure they don't become irrelevent in 28? |
Sunanda 14-Apr-2010 [4847] | R3 has been slow in coming too. |
Maxim 14-Apr-2010 [4848] | Actually, in the last year, I find no REBOL release it has ever evolved so quickly. |
Pekr 21-Apr-2010 [4849] | I have not read it yet, so no rude comments from me, yet :-) http://www.osnews.com/story/23181/Oracle_Starts_Charging_90_USD_Per_User_for_ODF_Plugin |
NickA 21-Apr-2010 [4850] | SnappMX is now free. REALLY COOL tool: http://www.snappmx.com |
