This discussion is wonderful! - I wish it was happening in my forum :( Indeed, SUN has made headway with java in corporations. I don't expect IC's to replace conventional computers in the domestic market, but to carve out their own niche, and also expand into a different market. Going...

Sincere apologies jhawk28. I was getting too defensive perhaps. A few things have changed. More people are on broadband. Broadband itself is sometimes marketed together with entertainment/TV services. More people own digital cameras, MP3 players and other things that can be regarded as...

As a programmer, I've been interested in writing applications that run through the browser, and the IOS for some time. It's just so neat to be able to write stuff that is so portable and accessible. Yes, I know about these previous attempts. And I don't think the time was right. This...

Given that Larry Ellison is pushing the forthcoming Oracle 8i database as the server for an Internet Operating System. Well, Larry is best buddies with Steve Jobs, and he made lots of noise about Apple's involvement in Internet Computers back around the ousting of Gil Amelio. I wouldn't be...

I feel stupid for not knowing this one :( When I'm debugging a Perl program using the terminal window, and it tells me it's in offline mode, and to enter name=value pairs... How do I terminate this list?

I'm sorry this is such a stupid question, but I've forgotten? Where do I find the the server error log?

Hi :) I've had this idea for an Online Operating System. I've built a prototype (bear in mind this is just a prototype! - and you'll need the Flash 6 plug-in). http://i2genius.com/ecard.html What I want to do next is to assemble a community of programmers, application writers, web...

I am using the ImageMagick library in Perl, and can't get the Annotate() method to work. It's supposed to put text onto an image. It has no effect at all, and I wonderred whether it could be to do with fonts. Should I have done something special when I installed to give it access to fonts...

1. Is there a way in JavaScript to focus (bring to the front) a particular browser window? (other than re-loading it) 2. How do I detect when a browser window has been re-sized by the user?

I've noticed that text is 75% larger when viewed on Internet Explorer on the Macintosh. Is there a way to detect that a page is being viewed on IE on a mac, and automatically reduce text size by 75%, or read in a alternative CSS definitions file perhaps? Is IE explorer on a mac the only...

Thanks bear - doh! How could I miss it. Ok, I've now found the root of my problem that I was struggling to debug. It is also affecting websites that I've made in the past :(, because it is a problem with new versions of Netscape Navigator being backwards incompatible with old versions. The...

I have a very recent version of Netscape navigator running on Mac OS 10.1 I'm trying to make my JavaScript work on both Explorer and Netscape. However, whearas Explorer gives me error diagnostics, and even shows me the line where the error was detected - I can't find this feature in...

Any advice on how to install the gimp graphics library to work with the version of Perl that came with my OS X 10.1? I'm about to download it now - but not sur what to do with it, or where to put it - when I have it.

I've been getting drawn into providing a commercial service designing web banners for people (static or animated). I'm looking for various ways of distributing these for my customers over the internet. Either generally, or targetted to a specific demographic, or geographic location. Do...

I'm installing PHP (v4.2.1) from Apple's site. I've already hit a snag I'm afraid. I was following the Instructions:- ./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs and it seems I have no C preprocessor. configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH Ok, I'm going to try to find a...
