Nomenclature

I was random-click browsing, and came upon a pretty amusing article comparing Internet Explorer with Firefox.

At one point where the names are compared:

Microsoft leaves no doubt what their products are. If they made toilet paper it would be called Butt Wiper.

Nothing against MS and their browser, just appreciate the funny stuff and all that..

You can read the whole article here..

Micellaneous Solaris stuff..

Lots of things have come up in the last few days that demand to be blogged about.

First off.. theres Compiz packages for JDS! Show your friends things Vista can't do! You need a minimum of Solaris Express build 60 and an Nvidia Card. More instructions here on Moinak's blog.

Here's a screenshot!

 

On the BeleniX front, expect the 0.6 release in a couple of weeks. New stuff I'm exited about:

• Compiz/Beryl possibly built in!..
• Ability to save your changes back to writable LiveMedia like USB. More ubiquitous computing
• Encryption support for USB.. all changes will be encrypted. Work on this is ongoing.
  
• Performance enhancements.
  

A few fellow students from MSRIT have ported GNU parted to Solaris, and this will help in porting various linux installers to Solaris (Woot!)

Win 5000$ playing a wonderful flash game! This is a promotional campaign for Sun Studio, you'll need to have that installed to finish the game.

Demo: Netbeans for the desktop

Gave a tech demo for Netbeans today explaining it's neat set of features.

The link to the slide is here. The collaboration data sheets are here and here. The GUI (matisse) sheet is here. And the profiler sheet is here.

Now to the questions:

A good tutorial for netbeans is at http://www.functionx.com/java/Lesson01.htm

The instructions for registering for the online training and the certification tests are at this orkut page. You have to go here to register and use the training..

I think that covers most of it. If I've left out any queries, do leave a comment and I'll get back.

Forgot to mention in the earlier post. I took part in the paper presentation event in Continuum 07 and won the third place. My talk was on Encrypted Livemedia on Opensolaris.
