Yeah, I found a macintosh in the Recycle Bin at work. No mouse, no keyboard, but I took it anyway. I have a friend who said she has extra keyboards and mouses. I'm going to see if it still works! I kinds doubt it, but I hope it does. It would be REAL cool if it had MSWorks on there.

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

I kinda want to learn some new Web skills... like Java for example. I wonder if there are some good web-tutorials? What other skills besides html and java are good for the web?

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

How do you make an applet, anyway? Do you write Java-code and compile it? Or what? And what do you DO with it? Is it a program that sits in the same directory as the html, or in the CGI Bin, or is the code inter-mingled into the same file as the html or what?

Can anyone explain?

By Bryan (Houdini) on Unrecorded Date:

Yoda once said to Luke "Clear your mind of questions." (Warning long post follows.)

First of all. Yes. Java is a compiler language.

Instead of compiling an executable like C, the source code compiles into class file which is nothing more then a set of byte codes to be interpreted by a JVM or Java Virtual Machine.

Think of the JVM as a program that runs java programs, a shell if you will that keeps the java code separate from the operating system it runs on. This is where java's mysterous platform independace comes from. Follow me so far?

One thing you must do is unlearn the view that most people have that Java is a "internet language". It isn't. The designers of Java
wanted to make a language that would satisfy the long held programers dream of "write once, run anywhere."

Depending on how you design your java classes. They can be run as applets or applications or
both.

Java applets are java classes that can run in
the JVM of a web browser or a stand-alone applet
viewer.

Java applications on the other hand can run on the desktop as full blown applications that are independant of a web browser or comercial applet viewer. They are still running within a JVM, but the JVM in this case is built into the operating system. Of course like applets the java classes themselves are not operating system specific.


More on this later..

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

So Java is as real as C? I could write and run java programs on my PC without a modem? And it would be cool? Conversely, are you suggesting that I could write Pac man in Java and people could play it on my web-page as easilly as if I made Pac Man in C and ran the executable on my machine?

By Bryan (Houdini) on Unrecorded Date:

Yes. Java is a real compiler language. The difference is Jave code is compiled for the
"Java Virtual Machine". In essence it is compiled for an imaginary machine which all computers operating system which support Java emulate. That is what allows Java to be a "write once, run anywhere" language.

What java allows programers to do is design a program independant of worrying about the quirks of an invidual vendors operating system. Unix, Windows, MacOS, a web browser.. it makes no difference. You would only *need* a modem if you planned to make a java program that accessed the internet to do some task which java has extensive libraries for designing internet applications.

>are you suggesting that I could write
>Pac man in Java and people could play it on my >web-page as easilly as if I made
>Pac Man in C and ran the executable on my >machine?

In a word.. yes! Best of all, Java is free!

Also, lots of developer's sites exist to help you
with java programing examples and help.

http://java.sun.com/ is where you can get
a java compiler for free.

Cool huh? Oh yeah. You should install Linux on your computer. :)

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Hey yeah! I might just download FREE java!
Do I need Linux to run it, or it is just nice?

By Bryan (Houdini) on Unrecorded Date:

Well, you need something/anything other then Dos basically.

Dos doesn't support long filenames, and
well, java is designed for long filenames. So the makers of Java never created a JVM that runs in Dos.

I sugested linux because I wouldn't be so crass
as to ask the mighty Sol to sell out and install windows 95. :)

By Reflection Surprise Terror For the futur (Smokeduster) on Unrecorded Date:

And I dont believe that the newest JVM will even load on Windows 3.1 (like you have Sol). I know that 1.0 would, but i think somewhere shortly after that 16 bit windows os's (like 3.11 and earlier) were no longer supported. I do have a copy of the the JDK 1.0 (whihc has JVM 1.0 in it) but finidng books and information on such an outdated version is almost impossible/

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Well, Jeff just loaded up a version of Java... we both have the Java bug now. Maybe he'll be nice and let me learn on his machine. Sega!

By Tony (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Yeah, well, as summer comes and I consider leaning Java, etc, I also consider upgrade possibilities. Unfortunately, I won't have any money any time soon for the desired computer costs... when Summer hits, I'll need all my extra money to fix my car (which is in need of various repairs) - so, meanwhile, I consider this:

1) - get a good modem for my 486, maybe some SIMMS and put Windows on there (ugh)! Then I can run a "modern" environment and modern software as well.

2) - buy a Pentium-type machine... I know ya can get 'em for under $1000, and it would be just as powerful as the machine I have at work...

3) - sit on it and wait until I can afford the machine of my dreams, namely the most expensive computer I can afford...

The trick is, 1) I never really planned to upgrade my 486... it was just a nice computer I could use while I waited for a more powerful machine, so upgrading it seems not quite right. 2) To get another "in-between" machine also seems counter-productive... I mean, how many in-betweens should I buy, knowing that I will soon have to get rid of them anyway?

If all things stay even, I'll be able to afford a "real" computer by next X-mas... that's if I put away $500 / month starting in Sept (earliest possible, really). :( I could afford one much sooner if I pulled "insane" Wegmans hours, but I will not do that just to afford a toy.

Mmmmm, computer...

Then, upgrading my 486 might not be so bad... oi... in fact, it is probably my only option any time soon. How much does a good modem cost? I am quite sure I wouldn't go in for Road Runner... I don't want to have to pay $50 a month just for connectivity... it just isn't affordable. I know I could get an internet provider of some kind for, like, $20 / month or something... even if it was a tad slower.

Anyway, the main goal is to get my machine to the point where I could use it for learning java, doing web-pages, etc... you know.

I'm sure to blather some more on this subject in the future...

By Bryan (Houdini) on Unrecorded Date:

What is your take on it folks?

Should the big M be broken up into "Baby Bills"?

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

Well, they have found Fact, but finding Law may be difficult. Just because something can be proven as a fact does not necessarily mean it is illegal... In fact, the anti-trust laws were created to fight against corporations with sole proprietorship of a single market. Does Microsoft have the only merchandise on the market--enough so that they are the only products available to the public? The answer is: No. Netscape, Apple, Origin, Adobe, Corel, UNIX, IBM--all of these should sound familiar to all of you... They're Microsoft's competitors. Just the fact that they exist is proof that law cannot be founded against Microsoft as a Monopoly. They may not have the same financial resources as Microsoft, but that doesn't mean they have no control over their own fates. I think it's a travesty of justice that a bunch of multi-million-dollar corporations sit around and say, "WAAAAH! Microsoft is TOO BIG! Mr. Government, could you make it smaller, so WE can be the biggest on the block?"

Bill Gates earned his empire. These corporations expect a piece of it, just because they think he has too much. They want a share. Inevitably, this can only hurt the entire industry, especially if Microsoft gets carved up... Then, somebody ELSE is the big boy, and gets the heat, then it's somebody ELSE, right on down the line.

Besides, Bill Gates can afford a team of really spiff lawyers--not to mention the jury, judge, and congressman involved in the hearings... ;>

By Who yo Daddy? (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

I heard that Bill Gates stole a lot of software that was previously in the public domain... and then copyrighted them as Microsoft... does anyone know anything about that?

I don't know what I think about Microsoft right now... I mean, at first I thought MS should die so that we could have more competition, and prices could get lower... but then, I thought that standardization has made our lives easier, too. I mean, almost anything you can buy will run in DOS or Windows. That's kinda better than having to own 4 or 5 OS's... I dunno - can I have the best of both worlds?

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

Bill Gates is not the only one who stole public domain crap and copyrighted it. Steve Jobs did the same thing in order to create MacOS... After all, they BOTH were at the same place at the same time--Xerox Parc... But Jobs could only drool over the GUI OS, while Bill saw the station just 3 places over and nabbed the networking idea... Nobody can claim that Bill Gates was all alone in his rise to "POWER". He DID write BASIC, after all--you know, the first translator language for the old Altaire? Also, his big thing was the purchase of QDOS from Gary Kildall for 50,000 dollars... It was the OS that changed the world, making Bill Gates what he is today. The man has straight-up, business smarts. I sure wouldn't want to compete with him... ;> L8R!

By Who yo Daddy? (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

What? Bill Gates wrote BASIC?

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

Yes. Him and some buddies, but mostly him. They wrote it in a sleazy hotel in New Mexico, across the street from a strip joint, where prostitutes hung out on every corner. No lie, honest truth. Bill would get wasted-drunk and bang out code, while his buddies went across the street for some, shall we say, manly gratification...

Also, he enjoyed driving really fast, and spent the night in jail several times for wreckless and drunk driving. He also got drunk one night and went driving, and ended up in like a gravel-pit area, and him and a buddy raced Caterpillar bull-dozers across the quarry.

Bill ended up running over one of his buddy's cars.

PS-nobody got hurt, but still, don't try this at home, kiddies...

By Who yo Daddy? (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Wow, Fred, how you know so much about Bill Gates?

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

I stalked him. ;>

No, actually, my folks are both computer teachers, and they have all kinds of neat videos about the history of computing. A really good one is called Triumph of the Nerds and talks all about the humble beginnings of the technology industry. It's a 3-tape cycle. Also, The Machine That Changed the World, The Day the Universe Changed, both of these being series on the Learning channell/History Channell, and that new made-for-TNT-movie, I forget its actual name, but it's something like Pirates of Silicon Valley. I got all kinds of little gems about Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, Gary Kildall, and the others. Knowledge is a powerful thing...

And also, I stalked him. ;>

By Funk Soul Brother (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Would anyone like to discuss Superminiaturization? Computers are getting faster and faster, and the main reason for this is the fact that more and more pathways can be placed on a single microchip. What once took a giant cabinet full of vacuum tubes to accomplish can now all be done with one tiny chip.

Now, I have heard about a newly discovered (past 3 years) structure called the nanotube. This is indeed the smallest known building block that we can manipulate, mere nanometers in size. Further, this stuff is conductive and responsive to the environment! It is amazing that something of such a microscopic size could actually be used in building a computer, but indeed this is exactly what researchers are discussing.

On an alternate track, why not make the CPU twice as big physically? We could therefore fit twice the pathways on it and gain efficiency in this way. What do you know about the most powerful computers on the face of the planet today? How are they made to be so?

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

Concurrent processing. Many processors doing multiple tasks to the same ends at the same time, with one processor controlling the efforts of the multiple processors, but not actually doing any processing. In this way, many complex things can be computed. 'Tis all I know right now... ;>

By Funk Soul Brother (Sol) on Unrecorded Date:

Hmmm, Uncle Bill says there's a machine set up for Computer-Aided Design at Xerox which has space for 2 CPU's inside... this really rocks if the software is optimized to USE it. He said there were 2 450's in there... although I am sure there must be a newer version as well which can run with the newer CPU's. Are we up to 700 mHz?I can never remember. (leafs thru Computer Link Magazine) yah, 700 is tops, I think.

By The One Known Only as (Greyfox) on Unrecorded Date:

Yeah, now they're working on expanding the bit-stream to be bigger than 32... But they haven't broken that barrier yet. I know Windows2K uses 128-bit encryption, but that's different than true 32-bit data transferral. It is the fastest I've seen so far, tho--so keep yer fingers crossed... L8R!
