This is why you should use CaliberRM and StarTeam 


Are you managing requirements by updating yellow Stick-It notes?

Are you managing changes by renaming files to foo.old, foo.older, foo.oldest, etc?

Of course you're not. You're using CaliberRM and StarTeam (and all the other Borland products) so that you have the competitive advantage and always deliver the right stuff before it's due and under budget.

These people didn't...

I've received quite a few requests for more information about this cartoon. To clarify, it's not mine. It's actually linked to a different site. I've seen it before, a couple of years ago or so. I have no idea who made it. If you do, please send me the info and I'll add a proper attribution.

Michael Swindell clarifies Delphi 8 license update 


"The general idea of [the] license update is that component vendors can now sub-license the Delphi "redistributables" to any component customer - even those who might not have a Delphi license already (such as a Visual Studio developer). Prior to this update the license assumed that a component customer would be a Delphi developer and would already have a redistributables license - so a sub-license provision wasn't necessary."

Thanks Michael!

New Delphi 8 license 


An updated Delphi 8 License has been posted on the BDN.

The new license provides additional permission for developers of VCL for .NET components.

If there's anything that's hard to read it's legalese. The only thing harder is trying to figure out what changed between two different legal documents.

So, here it is in plain English... You can safely distribute Borland.Delphi.DLL

Yay! Finally.

Practice Safe Computing 


"Microsoft estimates spyware is responsible for half of all PC crashes. Dell says 12 percent of its tech-support calls involve spyware, a problem that has increased substantially in recent months. Scans of one million Internet-connected PCs, conducted last quarter by Internet service-provider EarthLink and desktop-privacy and -security vendor Webroot Software, found an average of 28 spyware applications running on each PC and more than 300,000 programs at large that can steal data and give hackers access to computers."

Yikes!
