A few years back, Sun hatched NEO (then called DOE or Distributed Objects Everywhere) as a C++ implementation of the Object Management Group's CORBA distributed object architecture. It included an object request broker as well as higher level services like naming services and persistent object availability. At that time, Sun had visions of enterprise developers creating and deploying distributed, object-oriented applications on its NEO platform and using its Solaris OpenStep technology as a front-end development and operating environment for the back-end NEO applications -- all of which, of course, would run on Solaris.
Then came Java.
Solaris Director of Product Marketing Brian Croll says that after Java, "it was pretty clear that we needed to move forward in the object-oriented space." He says that Solaris OpenStep, developed in partnership with NeXT Software Inc., was the first to go because "it was obvious that Java was the front-end environment for the future." Though the products had only been shipping for a year, Solaris OpenStep and the WorkShop OpenStep development environment were both quietly canned by SunSoft this September.
But now Sun appears to be banking on Java on the back end as well. According to Croll, "we think the CORBA world is dividing into two markets: platforms and middleware." And the middleware now "serves a different purpose from what we're doing with Solaris." Croll says that while companies like Visigenic, Iona, and BEA are coming to dominate the middleware space, vendors like Sun and IBM are focusing on the platforms. Referring to Sun's soon-to-be announced API specifications, he says, "we want to be the best Java Enterprise Beans environment in the universe with Solaris."
What else can I help you with?
What did people in the olden days use to tell time?
They used the suns positions to tell the time. They used a device called a Sundail. For more information GOOGLE IT!!!!
Are programmes and data permanently recorded when the computer is manufactured.?
Yes, but only in embedded computers such as robotic arms, dinosaur toys, etc is anything permanently recorded. For PCs,Macs, SGIs, Suns, No. They all have read/write permanent devices for operating system and data which is eraseable.
How does the Solar cooker work?
Solar cooking is done by means of the suns UV rays.A solar cooker lets the UV light rays in and then converts them to longerinfrared light rays that cannot escape. Infrared radiation has the right energy to make the water, fat and protein molecules in food vibrate vigorously and heat up.It is not the sun's heat that cooks the food, nor is it the outside ambient temperature, though this can somewhat affect the rate or time required to cook, but rather it is the suns rays that are converted to heat energy that cook the food; and this heat energy is then retained by the pot and the food by the means of a covering or lid.This occurs in much the same way that a greenhouse retains heat or a car with its windows rolled up. An effective solar cooker will use the energy of the sun to heat a cooking vessel and efficiently retain the energy (heat) for maximum cooking effectiveness.There are three main components to most solar cookers, or you could say three main principles to effective solar cooking; these being:Concentration (reflection, or reflectance)Absorption (ability to attract or hold heat.Retention (means or capacity to retain heat)Concentration of the sun's rays is performed most often by reflecting panels, petals and such surfaces that can "focus" or concentrate the rays of light (UV) to a point or concentration.These reflecting panels are usually made of materials that are shiny and reflective due to the substance used in their manufacture, such as silver, chromium and aluminum.Without a means to concentrate the sun's rays it can take longer to heat objects or surfaces, thus most solar cookers are constructed with reflector panels to speed up the process of heat accumulation.Absorption of the sun's energy (heat)in solar cooking is best achieved when a surface is dark in color, thus the most common solar oven interiors are usually black in color as well as the color of the cookware used for cooking the food.Dark colors absorb the heat, whereas light colors do not absorb heat well. And some colors can reflect the sun's energy away, such as silver for example. Generally, the best cookware for solar cooking is the dark, thin variety because it absorbs the heat (energy) well; and because it is thin, it can then transfer the heat more quickly and evenly to the food.Retention is the final principle in solar cooking.If a solar cooker is not well insulated and if it does not have a cover, or lid, then all of theconcentrated heat (energy) and all of the absorbed heat would quickly dissipate into the air and be lost to the surrounding environment.A solar cooker must have the means to "trap" or hold the concentrated heat allowing it to accumulate and to "build up" to sufficiently high enough levels to be able to effectively cook.* * A fourth principle, though not vital in all forms of solar cooking (parabolic cooking is one)is: transparency of your retentive materials, or in other words, your lid on a solar oven or your enclosure around your pot/pan on a solar panel cooker needs to be able to allow the sun's rays to penetrate inside to where the food/cooking vessels are located. This ability of the sun to penetrate is usually achieved by using clear glass, or plastic coverings on a solar cooker lid/door/enclosure which then in turn acts as an inhibitor, trapping the heat as well.
What is a small icy object that orbits the sun between the orbits of mars and Jupiter?
Its the suns surface
What attracks every object in the universe toward another object?
Suns are the main reason. The sun has so much gravitational pull it attracks evrything.
What is the hottest man-made object?
The torches that cut through metal I think get as hot as the suns surface
Which star in the galaxy is a giant?
There are lots of giants in our galaxy. Betelgeuse is very big (about 20 of our Suns). The massive object / system (expected to be a supermassive black hole) at the center of the Milky Way has the mass about 2.6 million of our Suns.
Why you cannot us transparent object as a roof?
the suns ray's can focus into one spot due to diffraction and could burn whatever is underneath the roof
Is the sun the biggest object in space?
no, the sun is not the largest object because there are much larger stars and other suns that are far,far,far,far,far,far,far,far,far, faaaaaaaaaaaaaraway from us!!!!AMAZING!!!!!!
What is the suns brother?
the suns brother is Jupiter (somehow)
Does the suns light take eight years to reach earth?
Not unless it reflected off an object 4 light years away.Straight to Earth takes about 8 minutes.
Years Steve Nash played on the suns?
Steve Nash played for the Suns from 2005-present
Suns or Chicago bulls?
in a game the suns would win
What is the plural for sun?
The plural of sun is suns.
When was Marbella Suns created?
Marbella Suns was created in 2006.
