World: r3wp

So, plug-computer is really cool (and I remember that I wondered 
for what they are worth it...)

not bad transfer rate - uses USB2, no?

I wonder what you'd get with the GuruPlug's eSATA

Yes, USB 2. My Raid System doesn't has eSATA...

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.

Reichart - yes, I was wondering too ... what is so special about 
clipboard, drag&drop, or even their other mentioned functionalities.

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.

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...

then tell Carl to finally finish REBOL OS :-)

Why can't I simply PIPE things from one place to another?

Just give me 10 years... :-)

Or use Gabriele's pipe scheme. Or PowerShell.

Competing with Workday?

http://www.youtube.com/sapstreamwork#p/u/5/G-8J1YEkaQcUh...........WTF?

you don't like the colors?   ;-D

oh you mean... "When The Fuck would I ever use this?"

I feel like I just saw the obfuscated way to use....a "table".

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

We have that, select all, change text colour to WHITE.

:-D

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? :-)

 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".

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.

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

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.

is RIM in toronto?

depending of country side almost

RIM has offices in Waterloo and Mississauga - Waterloo's about an 
hour and a half from Toronto - Mississauga borders Toronto

you mean it took them 10 years just to insure they don't become irrelevent

R3 has been slow in coming too.

Actually, in the last year, I find no REBOL release it has ever evolved 
so quickly.

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

SnappMX is now free.  REALLY COOL tool:  http://www.snappmx.com

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that Facebook is down?

works here

Works now for me too. It was down for a half-hour here. Weird.

Sometimes when I think a website is down, it turns out to be some 
problem at my (or my ISP's) end. This is a good way to check:
   http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Or, http://downforrt.com/

I saw people saying that FB is down on twitter too. 


My guess it needed to reboot to switch into now I own the whole internet 
mode (did you hear about new features presented on f8)?
