  1. About time. by Matt2000 · · Score: 1 · on Sun Gives Up on Java Tools

    I never thought it was a great idea that the same company controlled the language spec as well as competed with others in the development environment market. Maybe now they can focus on the stinking language and deliver some of the details on those promises they made a couple years ago.

    I just wish they'd leave Netbeans alone, they'll probably wreck it.

  2. Purpose built devices by Matt2000 · · Score: 1 · on Linus Looks at His Crystal Ball

    Linus has lost it in this one, and I would guess that its his work with Transmeta causing him to say such things as "I believe in purpose-built devices."

    His legacy as an OS creator will be in that it enabled legions of general purpose devices to be made more effective.

    "What if one family member wants to watch television and another wants to browse the Net?" Well then you have two Net-TV devices Mr. Torvalds. It is much easier to support and understand one type of device than a seperate interface for every function that an information appliance could potentially be useful for.

  3. Transmeta revealed. by Matt2000 · · Score: 1 · on Transmeta Unveiled in November?

    Today the mysterious company known as Transmeta finally revealed its primary business as marketing. Other areas of expertise include making geeks crazy by thinking up cool names and not telling them what they mean.

    When asked what future projects they would be working on, a company spokseperson said "Our next initiative is named GorpoTron 3000, but I can't tell you what it does."

  4. IPO. by Matt2000 · · Score: 2 · on "LinuxOne" files for an IPO

    I am considering starting a company.

    I'm not sure who I'm going to hire yet or who I need because I'm not sure what I'm going to sell yet.

    My biggest problem is to figure out whether this company should be valued at 90 million, or a more reasonable jack squat.

    Overheard on an unsecured line:

    "Did you pay off the hackers?"
    "Yes, they're covered."

    "How bout the crackers?"
    "Ya, we got them too."

    "Snackers?"
    "Trying to find them."

    "Meat packers?"
    "I can only work so fast boss..."

  6. Not just addresses. by Matt2000 · · Score: 2 · on CNN On IPv6

    As addressed somewhat by the article, it seems to me that the address problem is only the most obvious part of the problems with IPv4. The components of IPv6 to do with intelligent routing will greatly increase our usage of available bandwidth, something we'll need even more if we have an address for "every toaster in the world."

    Besides, if I stick knife in my toaster to get out the bread, I'll probably blow the whole Internet.
