Again.

For the sake of keeping your computer clean: please read the setup screens and uncheck every checkbox that you DON’T need. You don’t need this ‘SearchTheWeb’ toolbar, this ‘BetterSearch’ toolbar.

And I am sick that people expect me to find a license for their Office/Windows/whatever.

I am a responsible person and I don’t do this. I do buy a lot of my software, and if not possible I always try to find a free counterpart.

Back to =< Netbeans 6.5.1, when you updated the JDK, and installed the new version, Netbeans wasn’t able to start due to a missing JDK. You could start Netbeans with –javahome

switch to point to the new JDK to avoid a terminal error.

Or you could open the <NetbeansInstallDirectory>\etc\netbeans.conf, and in there you would modify the netbeans_jdkhome var.

As for Netbeans 6.7M2 this is no longer necessary. It searches for another IDE when it can’t find the original one. Though this is just for THAT session. So if you want a permanent change you still have to edit >blah<\etc\netbeans.conf like stated above.

Good luck

Just a thought: Apple promotes iPhone with an OS which is a subset of Mac OS X. Why then is Apple allowed sell the iPhone WITH Safari, and why does nobody makes a big deal out of it? While Microsoft has to change their OS for these European laws!

With Windows you are allowed to install another browser, you aren’t even allowed to do this with the iPhone?

Europe, go attack Apple…

Believe me when I say we have a difficult time ahead of us. But if we are to be prepared for it, we must first shed our fear of it. I stand here, before you now, truthfully unafraid. Why? Because I believe something you do not? No, I stand here without fear because I remember. I remember that I am here not because of the path that lies before me but because of the path that lies behind me.

It’s a movie, but I think the last sentence applies to everybody. It’s your decisions that makes you who you are.

So much for global warming… (it’s just an excuse for the government to ask more taxes!!!)

Update:
Let me clarify my comment ^.

It’s a JOKE! (yet still the government uses it as an excuse!)

It seems that there are magic telephones that can recieve calls without a sim card (look at the ‘No SIM card inserted’ text on the screen!)

Yesterday I tried Windows Live Messenger 9 Beta.

Works pretty well, fast, nice interface (not to childish), and the ability to sign in with the same accounts onto multiple computers.

But there is an issue with the custom emoticons.

They get preserved on upgrade (luckily, they did it right this time), but they don’t display if you use them, not in the chat window itself, and not in the text input box.

Messenger 8

Messenger 9

Let’s hope they fix this in the future release

Since Adobe released Flash 10 I am unable to upload files with the Flash uploader, it seems they changed the API in order to make it more ‘secure’.

They do not allow any openfiledialogs to be opened without explicit click from the user.

This breaks a lot of usability.

I don’t know why they would break something like that, because the user still has to select a file and click ‘Open’. Because of some stupid user they break it for all users.

More info about this (unresolved, and propbably never resolvable) issue.

I would like to clarify a previous post of mine.

As stated there I will be attending Microsoft Tech·Ed EMEA 2008 – Developer in Barcelona the 10th until the 14th of November this year.

There is so much to tell about this, it will be a week PACKED with programming, no silly lessons like school, but information on a decent level.

I already made my agenda for the week (it can change though), in order for them to know how many places they must reserve for each seminar.

I mainly chose WPF and Silverlight, and User Interface. Because that is what I like, the interaction between the program and the user.

Databinding and LINQ is also very interesting, and I will be attending a seminar about that subject.

More information will follow.
