[javaHispano] ECOS (Oct 26 2003 21:58 GMT) - La presentación de Miguel Ángel Abián, "El proyecto ECOS: papel de Java en la interoperabilidad del comercio electrónico entre empresas del sector del mueble", podría dividirse en dos partes clares pero interconectadas. Por una lado, una muy buen justificación del uso de Java en este tipo de proyectos -y también su ejecución en sí- y por otro una demostración del sistema desarrollado. La segunda parte puede tener más interés, evidentemente, para personas relacionadas con el mundo del mueble y la madera -del que curiosamente yo estoy cerca- pero la primera interesaría a cualquier programador Java que buscase defender esa plataforma en su empresa o ámbito de actuación. Explicar un poco el porqué de Java es de agradecer, porque en muchas ocasiones, y más en actos como un congreso, su uso se da por supuesto sin mayor justificación. |

DirecTV has an interesting concept ... (Oct 26 2003 21:57 GMT) - DirecTV has an interesting concept of the justice system. If you buy a product that might be used for illegal purposes, then you are automatically guilty, whether you use it all, or even if you have a legitimate use of the product. If you have an legitimate use, you must prove your innocence to DirecTV, at your own expense. Electronics hobbyists in particular are in the target zone their broad shotgun approach to justice. This type of corporate bullying is enough reason to boycott DirecTV. |

Astronomers plan giant telescope (Oct 26 2003 21:57 GMT) - "US scientists have drawn up plans to build the largest telescope ever seen. Its 30-metre-diameter mirror would be almost 10 times as big as those in the Keck telescopes in Hawaii, currently the world's largest observatories." —BBC If funded and without engineering glitches, the telescope, to be sited at anas-yet-undetermined location in Hawaii, Chile or Mexico, could see first light by 2012. There is also a more fanciful European Large Telescope Project planning a 100-meter 'scope for a South American site. |
