AJAX is a marketing term coined by yet another consultant attempting to brand himself. Asynchronous javascript and XML is just another warmed over idea that was proposed by a number of people - not just $soft - round about 1996-1997. At that time the idea was to reduce trips or the bandwidth...

Are these less expensive or more expensive than Intel processors / boards ? I see these comparisons about but unless there was a price/risk incentive to use these I could not justify moving off of commodity intel hardware.

Trading is not that tough if you are trading your own money and you have the right type of mentor/experience. It can be done and it can be a very nice business. Software is still a very interesting area IF you are involved with the right types of projects or business ventures. The...

I will second Huntington Beach - if you are single. HB is a bit more laid back, and a bit more affordable than Newport Beach or Laguna. Another nice place is Belmont Shore - although it is true that the beaches are not as nice as down by newport beach. Still, its not a bad place and I lived...

Extremely crowded ... chairs backed up against the next table occupants .... Food just OK. Better places ...although the location is convenient at south coast plaza.

Well ... the apparent difference you perceive really isn't an issue with native windows versus Java/JVM. With $soft alternatives continueing to grow you will be hard pressed to convince any software development house to invest a lot of money into proprietary only solutions. In fact, the future...

Laguna is nice: So is Seal Beach, Belmont Shore, Newport Beach, Carlsbad, Dana Point, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, ... Manhattan Beach, Rancho Palos Verde, etc. Most of the communities along the coast are nice but expensive: 1000 sq ft house goes for about a million, and not on the...

..Which areunder huge attack by a new and different model of software against which they ultimately can not compete unless they restructure their pricing and distribution model: their answer to this competition is to raise prices and make moves to re-enforce customer lockin. This is an...

Or we could lett TGregg and all his buddies waste their time with comments like this that are appropriate for the YAHOO message boards. LOL Getting back to the topic .... Did anyone see the $soft announcement about their idea of application hosting - That is the the client -$softoffice...

A common problem for corporate developers: Often companys have NO research lab/computing environment. Therefore they do not have the ability to test new platforms, try new API's etc. Even in companies that claim their computing infrastructure and technologies are strategic to the...

Yes this is true and it may play into contiued momentum given the dynamics of the shares. Whole foods is an interesting company: I have watched them develop over the years in Southern California and elsewhere. However they do have competitors - some of which are better operations in my...

"One more thing. How do you forecast the future in computing? Look back a bit: Changes always come and when they come, they wre not expected and surprise many." Well.... If you based the future on current FLOPS/Dollar or some other appropriate measure you would see that there still is a lot...

...My original post asked for specific examples regarding why Java was inappropriate for coding a front-end client. Thus far, I see no answer to this question: I already know the answer and I was just making a point ...... If you are a commercial entity that needs to distribute client...

Hmmm Java has "grave" shortcomings" ? Under which scenario ? Its a decent cross platform environment for general purpose use. Yes there are perhaps better alternatives to using the JVM and Java frameworks- not $softs dot Nut frameworks by the way. Which particular areas of Java do you deem...

Simple answer. No. Anybody that builds platform dependent software is a fool - unless they want to be bought by $soft. Unless people are seeing performance degradation there is no reason to write platform dependent super optimized code ...... I would be very surprised if people that use the IB...

That is , is it a good entry point and thus good trade..... The only focus in the beginning should be identifying good trades/good trading conditions and playing those that have the most potential according to your model or plan. The trick to not losing money is to not overtrade - which...

...what am I missing ? Nothing has changed has it ? That is these behaviours have always been part of equity options ?
