A special syntax since it acts very much like a structure. And, as the Sun docs state, "Arrays are supported directly by the Java programming language; there is no array class. Arrays are implicit extensions of the Object class, so you can assign an array to a variable whose type is declared as Object." There is no class to implement the length member like the original poster wanted. Implicit isn't quite the same as is, IMO.

"Not messing around with "dirty details" is one of the goals of almost every language."

One of the goals, yes, but that doesn't mean you don't sit down and work with them somewhere. Smart programmers abstract it away, as I suggested to the original poster who stated that he hates mucking about with the primitive types. Based on how he was complaining about it, I don't think my suggestion that he abstract it away was at all off base.

Templates are called generics and available as an extension to Java: GJ. This implementation (or at least something very similar) will probably be included in a next version of Java.

BTW. If you are a member of Sun's Java Developer Connection (free), you can vote for the features and bugs you want them to work on. Vote for Generics! Of course, sharing memory between JVM instances is also a good feature to vote for. It has been proven to be possible already (MacOS X' JVM), so they just need a kick in the ass.

10. Delete all deprecated methods, fields, classes, and interfaces.

While I would also like to see these die, to tell the truth, Java has done an above average job here. In most other (should I qualify that as "practical") languages, there isn't even a concept of deprecated. Deprecated is your client calling you up and telling you something is breaking in a weird way and you say "oh yeah, don't use that". In Java when you deprecate something it means something. The compiler compiles in a flag, and anything that is built against deprecated methods, the compiler will spit out a big fat "THIS IS DEPRECATED" warning. You can't do much better than that. So while I'd like to see these things gone, the reality is that there is a lot of code that is using them, and they really aren't doing much harm. The most "harmful" are the deprecated thread operations. Everything else has mostly been for name changes or additional functionality. Take the most out of your own eye first and all...
This is just a library issue, not a language issue.

9. Fix incorrect naming conventions.

Amen. Given that we adhere to whatever we resolve to do with deprecations, fine. But again, Sun has done a terrific job, and if you look through the libraries, I'd say 90% or greater (including deprecated stuff) adheres pretty well to the standard. Again, this is just a library issue, not a language issue.

8. Eliminate primitive data types.

What you want is "boxing" (like C#/.NET/CLR does), and they're already working on it: RFE 4609038 Request auto boxing of primitives in Java.

7. Extend chars to four bytes.

Meh. I don't use Unicode that much, so it's not as relevant to me, I'll trust you on this one. Just don't bloat up good ole US-ASCII character strings.

6. Fix threads.

I generally agree. The first 5 bullets are pretty trivial. I have never ever run into a problem when using threads, even with complicated synchronization implementations. The last bullet is already possible: write your own damn monitor! Nobody is stopping you as long as the sychronization primitives work. Here I'll give you a clue: custom monitor implementations. Easy as cake. I'm not sure what the author is really asking for here. Sun cannot possibly make every single implementation of a monitor somebody would like (ok, well, it *could* but why?). It gives you the primitives and you go from there. That is why you are a programmer.

5. Convert file formats to XML.

No no no no no no NO. XML is not a panacea. Please DON'T turn everything into XML. The formats that exist (properties format, manifest format) are simple and designed for their purpose. XML has its uses, and simple, flat, non-hierarchical, terse data, which has absolutely no expectation of being rendered visually or translated into another form, is not one of them. I don't see any REASON being proposed other than "everybody is using it". Well, if everybody jumped off a bridge...

4. Ditch the AWT.

Meh. I have a better one. Replace AWT with a natively back-ended Swing or Swing-like API, akin to IBM's SWT. Swing is a lovely API, but it is cumbersome to lug all the libraries around, and it is slow. SWT is a nice compromise (nice high-level abstract, generic, Java API - to the metal native implementation).

3. Rationalize the collections.

This is basically an argument against the deprecated classes, for which there are already replacements. I don't see much wrong with the Collections API (i.e. java.util 1.2+), and when generics arrive, it will be much more useful (no tedious subclassing or casting to contained type). The author is making some fuzzy argument that the Collections APIis not cuddly enough or something. It's a starting point - it has the most used structures (hashtable, linked list, growable array, etc.). If you don't like them, feel free to subclass or write your own. They are fine for me, and certainly don't rank up at 3 as far as complaints to Sun go.

2. Redesigned I/O

A bunch of non-arguments here. Again, for something like 90% of the time, this is going to do you just fine. Please DON'T sneak buffering into classes which do not announce this fact. This is the charm of composition, and I think it works nicely. Want a stream buffered? Wrap it with a buffering stream. Want a stream GZipped? Wrap it with a GZip*Stream. Anyway, there IS a new IO API, which promises much better performance (introduces asynchronous I/O), java.nio.

1. Redesign class loading from scratch, this time with human interface factors in mind.

Agreed. This is getting to be a headache. Especially when deploying in application servers/servlet engines that have their own custom classloaders. There probably isn't a good solution other than good documentation, and reduction of unnecessary conflicts when security is obviously not an issue (the whole reason of seperate classloaders to begin with).

Summing Up

Well, this article is largely gripes about the library not the language, and where it gripes about the language, those gripes are already being addressed. I would complain about things like, methods not being first-class objects (callback classes are really annoying), unspecified symbol resolution in the language spec, inner classes not being allowed to have static declarations, lack of enumeration type in the language itself, interfaces unable to declare overridable fields, array types being pseudo objects when they could instead be easily made to be real objects which could be subclassed, etc.

Microsoft would like nothing better than for Sun to release a version of Java that isn't backwards compatible.

Don't forget that Sun offers directly from their home page the current Java Runtime for Microsoft Windows. Just because Microsoft doesn't ship a current version of Java doesn't mean that Java is any worse off for it.

If Sun decides to make something like this proposed Java 3, they will simply make it available for Windows just as they do for Solaris and Linux. Also, Sun will obviously provide support for several years for Java 2, just as they do for their other products, such as Solaris, that go through transitions.

If you ask me the major problem with java is the speed issue. It will never be as fast as c/c++. But thats life...

Not true! Sun has recently published some benchmarks which clearly show Java pulling away from C++ in a number of key B2B, B2C and ERP related benchmarks, including the ugly object-creation heavy SKAN-K test, the datamining 4-EYES benchmark, and the industry standard scientific calculation HOmark suite.

It's a good day to be a Java programmer!!

Open Firmware.
Basicly it's a forth interpreter that initialises the processor, initialises various chips on the mother board and initialises PCI cards. It's avaiables on MacIntosh since the PPC switch and on sun Hardware.
Booting from a USB drive on a mac would not be difficult you'de just specify the path of the system blessed folder, be it a linux, Open, Net, Darwin or Mac OS X system.

You are right on one level; however, completely ignorant of the big picture. First off, let me state that I am a .NET developer for over a year and, honestly, I believe .NET has great potential. My first impression of ASP.NET and Visual Studio.NET was, well, extremely impressed. The fact the most .NET developers I have talked with (including those with over 10-years web development) think .NET is this magic technology that is going to solve all the world's problems is absolutely rediculous! The second these people get some .NET marketing blown up their ass and a pretty IDE in front of their face, they think the world of cross-browser compatibility, HTML, Javascript, etc has been replaced by a God-like alternative. Suddenly, Microsoft makes everyone think if it doesn't work with .NET, it must be you fault (not using Internet Explorer). Big surprise here. This is the strong arm they have been trying to push for years! Will .NET UI run on a Solaris workstation? Hell no! Will Microsoft target this market? Absolutely not! Do they claim they support alternative browsers for their web applications? Sure; however, that is just marketing BS. You may ask what is this magical .NET's ability to support these "alternative" browsers? Let me say, it is minimal. As far as simple web pages go (simple forms, buttons, hyperlinks) sure, they work the rest; however, when it comes to anything higher-level (i.e. the developer actually needing an understanding of how this shit works in the real world without all the fancy IDE (which in my opinion is something any web developer should understand in the first place (how can you develop a web page and not need to understand that HTTP is a stateless protocol as Microsoft "suggests" is not a necessary concept?))). most .NET developers are completely in the dark and when something doesn't "work" it must be _impossible_ to do. No! Microsoft is not dropping-the-ball on this marketing and releasing .NET so early was not a "misstep"-- Microsoft is dilgently attacking the DEVELOPERS into making them believe that the other alternatives "don't work"! Go look at the newsgroups! Microsoft is blatently telling people that if it doesn't work in .NET, it must be the next guy's fault (however, removing themselves from liability by letting they "MVP's" do their work)! So back to my original statement-- I like .NET; I think it has great potential. But, why the hell do you want to replace something that is already working-- something that is already matured-- and something that has proven it's ability, stability, and efficiency?

No...he's right. Java only creates one object for all String literals of the same value in the same class. This works out, because Strings are immutable in Java.

This can be found in the Java language specification.

In general, the parent of this post is correct. In that specific instance, the grandparent is correct.

Pages of boring and dry text

Do you agree (y/N):

You already have to do this with the Sun Java runtime for Linux, which is distributed in a "self extracting TAR ball" - read "sh script which pipes most of its contents to gzip and then tar after displaying the license with less or, failing that, more, and then asking the user to enter a 'y' character is signify agreement." You can also get a "self extracting RPM" which is in essence the same thing, but instead of producing a TAR ball it produces an RPM.

So yeah, it's doable - it may not be very NICE, but it's doable...

Besides, with large software packages that share the same license (be it GPL or random proprietary) you just need to accept one copy of it before installing. That's how you can get away with "accepting" the license agreements packed in with most MS updates - a license is displayed that covers all the individual "components."

I'm not going to say that I enjoy click through licensing, just that it is possible in console mode and with software applications. I'm not going to try and draw any conclusions on its use or the need for it - just demonstrate how others have solved the problem.

You're also a dumbass because you're still convinced that you can use a toy language to build an efficient and reliable P2P network.

There was a really good article about Go on kuro5hin maybe three weeks ago. In fact, it caused me to start playing again and it still is much fun. :-)

Just try it. There are lots of free Go servers online. I prefer the KGS server. All you need is to download the client or just play it online in your browser with others (Java required). There are usually ~100 people online in the English room (yes, chat included).

It's a wonderful game.

> If it hadn't been for Microsoft making DirectX, game developers would still be writing their own drivers for the dozen different soundcard types on the market.

It's funny that the PC is the only platform where that was even a problem. The Apple, the Mac, the Commodore 64, the Amiga, the Atari ST, and so on, all had interfaces defined for sound and video, right from the start. But on the PC, the provider of the OS, Microsoft, did nothing about it for ten long years. Then just when the industry was in the process of filling that gap with a cross-platform standard, namely OpenGL, Microsoft jumped in with a standard that was tied to Windows. Amazing.

> Or, Creative Labs would have just gotten a monopoly on the market and Sound Blaster compatibility would still be important.

Actually, with Linux, I can interface with any sound hardware that is SoundBlaster-compatible. I thank SB for providing the standard.

Now, can you provide the name, and a link to the document, for the Microsoft-supplied open interface standard for sound? Or is that mess called DirectX it?

> Do you remember how much DR-DOS sucked?

Clearly, you don't know what you are talking about. Everyone I knew at the time, who used a PC, had switched from MS-DOS to DR-DOS. Microsoft had allowed MS-DOS to stagnate for years. DR-DOS, on the other hand, introduced greatly improved memory management, and other new capabilities. But don't take my word for it. Let's see what Microsoft thought. This is from the evidence in the Caldera versus Microsoft case:

> Bill Gates, November 29, 1989: "While DOS continues to be our most important and most profitable product over the last four years we have done very little with it technically."

> Bill Gates, September 22, 1988: "You never sent me a response on the question of what things an app would do that would make it run with MSDOS and not run DR-DOS. Is there any version check or api they fail to have? Is ther feature they have that might get in our way? I am not looking for something they cant get around. I am looking for something their current binary fails on."

> Phil Barrett's response to Gates: "Here follow the three "differences" (between DR and MS DOS) that Aaron has been able to find so far. Except for these differences, the two OSs behave similarly, including undocumented calls. The bottom line is that, given Aaron's current findings, an application can identify DR DOS. However, most apps usually have no business making the calls that will let them decide which DOS (MS or DR) they are running on."

> Bill Gates, October 31, 1988: "DOS 4 is a mess to discuss -- bugs, too big, strange shell interface, who wrote it? DOS 4 has a terrible reputation."

> Microsoft Product Support Services, June 13, 1991: "We're currently hearing from numerous callers (approx 150/day) who are experiencing severe incompatibilities with MS-DOS 5.00, to the point that PSS is unable to get the operating system to work successfully on their machines."

So, according to Bill Gates and Microsoft, MS-DOS had been allowed to stagnate, and DR-DOS had achieved almost perfect compatibility, better, in fact, than Microsoft was able to achieve with MS-DOS 4 and 5.

It gets worse...

> MS-DOS product manager, Richard Freedman, March 26, 1993: "If they really release [DR-DOS 7.0] with all this junk in it, it will mean that for three ms-dos releases in a row (5, 6 and 7), DR will have had our key features in their product 12-18 months before us (kernel in HMA, compression, VxD/multitasking). given that track record, it's going to be impossible to shake this "MS as follower" image. it's been very difficult so far as it is."

So, given that Microsoft could not keep up with DR-DOS technically, how did Microsoft manage to defeat DR-DOS?

Microsoft added a warning about DR-DOS in Windows (which Microsoft knew to be a lie), spread FUD about DR-DOS in the media, had OEMs sign licenses for Windows which forbade them to pre-install DR-DOS (which got MS in trouble with the DOJ), and, when DR-DOS still wouldn't die, added secret calls into Windows 95 to make it refuse to run on DR-DOS. For example, regarding the Windows warning message:

Microsoft's Brad Silverberg, February 10, 1992: "What the guy is supposed to do is feel uncomfortable, and when he has bugs, suspect that the problem is dr-dos and then go out to buy ms-dos. or decide not to take the risk for all the other machines he has to buy for in the office."

But let's get back to your post...

> Every modern OS has had built in virtual memory. Microsoft building it in was them following CS theory.

Wrong. Mainframes have hardware assists for virtual memory. They don't waste the CPU's time transferring bytes in and out of real memory.

And it is just such a hardware assist that was built into the more expensive memory cards at the start of the nineties. Everyone who knew enough about it, knew that the new memory standard, which expanded on those hardware concepts, was taking the PC into the realm of mainframes. Microsoft also knew how good it was, when they destroyed it.

> > Do you remember when the 386 came out, with its new memory protection capabilties?

> And do you realize that people are STILL bitching and moaning about Windows XP not running their DOS programs? Don't blame Microsoft, blame backwards compatibility.

Oh, please. Everyone else (e.g. OS/2, Linux) seems to be able to run DOS software without giving up on 386 memory protection. All you are telling me is that Microsoft is too incompetent to do it. In fact, look back to the earlier quotes, where DR-DOS was able to achieve near-perfect backward compatibility with MS-DOS, while Microsoft could not.

> Windows 2000 uses TCP/IP for LANs, and supports Kerberos security.

And Microsoft has added proprietary extensions to Kerberos, won't publist all the specs, and won't even let people publish the specs that have been released:

> As for the VGA bit, you're joking, right? (S)VGA is an anachronism that doesn't support linear memory, high-res/high-bandwidth modes, and most importantly, acceleration.

Nice try. Now let's talk about the point I actually made.

(S)VGA was a standard. And you're right, it's out-of date. But that's exactly the point. If (S)VGA is out-of-date, then why isn't there a new standard to replace it? The answer is because Microsoft has sabotaged the standards process.

Now, in place of video standards, we have unique, complex drivers for each video card. These drivers are tied so closely to the OS, that they even have to be rewritten to go from one version of Windows to the next. And for some versions of Windows, such as NT, a lot of drivers don't even get ported.

> And have you noticed that OpenGL is more important than ever?

So Microsoft only succeeded in slowing down the spread of OpenGL. It doesn't change the fact that they tried to kill it. Of course, Microsoft hasn't given up yet, as demonstrated by Microsoft's claim that their recently-purchased SGI patents gives them control over parts of OpenGL.

> And Java never really took off client-side anyway?

Oh, nonsense. Client-side Java was taking off big time. Companies from all over the industry were announcing plans to use it. Then Microsoft did this:

> The "strategic objective" is to "kill cross-platform Java by grow[ing] the polluted Java market." http://java.sun.com/lawsuit/051498.unfair.html

Microsoft also took other steps to ensure that web developers couldn't count on there being a working JVM in the browser. Through contract interference, and other illegal means, Microsoft worked to "cut off Netscape's air supply," which stopped further development on the Netscape JVM.

But, just as with OpenGL, Microsoft has only succeeded in slowing Java down. Along with Mozilla, client-side Java is finding new life, and may yet become the standard for e-commerce (five years later than would have been the case without Microsoft's interference).

> Yes, Linux runs on platforms nobody buys.

You mean like Intel-based PCs, 64-bit PCs (already being used, with Linux, in supercomputer clusters), IBM mainframes, Macintoshes, Sun boxes, HP boxes, Tivos, IBM RS6000s, and so on? Those sorts of "platforms that nobody buys?"

> Windows just runs on platforms people actually purchase. You can't blame them for being in a different business.

Haha. You're funny guy. The fact is that Microsoft tried to make the move to 64-bit servers, and they failed! They failed miserably! They failed because they weren't good enough!

> I fail to see how Microsoft hurt [hardware innovation]

- If Microsoft hadn't taken steps to prevent it, we would now be running PCs with mainframe-style hardware-assisted virtual memory.

- If Microsoft had made even a small attempt at defining a standard interface, video on Windows might have caught up to the Amiga ten years sooner. As it stands, we still don't have a proper standard.

- If Windows had been able to support the new capabilities of the 386, Intel could have been selling it years sooner.

- If Microsoft had been able to provide a stable-enough OS, then Intel and PC manufacturers could have been selling server hardware to compete with the Unix vendors.

- And if anyone really believed that Windows was 64-bit ready, then Intel and PC manufacturers could be selling 64-bit servers (in fact, they are selling 64-bit servers, but running Linux).

> Microsoft hasn't been bashing Linux so much anymore. It sees important opportunities there...

> Anyway, they've been changing their atitude towards Linux and Open Source.

That's the biggest BS I've ever heard. Gates and Ballmer still run the company, and they are no more honest now than in the past.

It was just a few months ago that evidence came about that showed how Microsoft pressured Dell into dropping support for desktop Linux:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/4/24478.html

If Microsoft is being quieter now, it's because they want something -- something that requires less hostility from Linux developers.

What Microsoft wants right now is for companies and developers to accept .Net, to develop for it, and to become dependent on it. That includes building ties to Palladium.

This is consistent with Microsoft's earlier behaviour.

For example, once Microsoft had their polluted J++ version of Java in place, their strategy became the following:

> "At this point its [sic] not good to create MORE noise around our win32 java classes. Instead we should just quietly grow j++ share and assume that people will take advantage of our classes without ever realizing they are building win32-only java apps." http://java.sun.com/lawsuit/051498.unfair.html

Microsoft tried a similar "keep quite and let everyone lock themselves in" strategy with Bristol's Wind/U (Windows APIs on Unix), which tended to lock Unix applications to Windows servers.

So of course Microsoft would like things to quiet down right now. It's because they've already set the traps that they hope will capture Linux and the Internet.

These traps include:

- .Net
- Palladium
- Windows Media protocols over the Internet
- Palladium support for Apache
- MS Office lock-in on Linux (Crossover)
- ActiveX lock-in on Linux (Crossover)
- .Net support (lock-in) in Qt
- ActiveX support (lock-in) in Konqueror
- Windows Media lock-in on Linux (mplayer)
- Hardware partnership with AMD (kept API details secret, making Linux unstable)
- Hardware partnership with NVidia (closed source driver tied into Linux kernel)
- Hardware lock-in through NVidia (their new graphics language compiler)
- Attempted government-mandated IP-security-hardware lock-in

Actually, now that I think about it, that last one is a killer. In order for Microsoft to get Congressmen and Senators on their side, it is very important to reduce the political risk, by making Microsoft seem more benign. Thus, if Microsoft can succeed in keeping the Linux supporters quiet, then more government officials will be willing to accept the payoffs, excuse me, campaign contributions that Microsoft has offered, in exchange for selling out the American people. It would be a pretty sweet deal for Microsoft to have a law that requires the use of Microsoft technology in every computing device.

> Are they an actual evil company?

Of course they are. But don't take my word for it. You can see it in Microsoft's own words...

Microsoft sabotages new technologies:

> The "strategic objective" is to "kill cross-platform Java by grow[ing] the polluted Java market." http://java.sun.com/lawsuit/051498.unfair.html

Microsoft commits fraud against their customers:

> "At this point its [sic] not good to create MORE noise around our win32 java classes. Instead we should just quietly grow j++ share and assume that people will take advantage of our classes without ever realizing they are building win32-only java apps." (same link)

Microsoft uses extortion:

> "Apple let us down on the browser by making Netscape the standard install." Gates then reported that he had already called Apple's CEO [Gil Amelio] to ask "how we should announce the cancellation of Mac Office...."

> "Though the language of the agreement uses the word "encourage," I think that the spirit is that Apple should be using [IE] everywhere and if they don't do it, then we can use Office as a club." http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/cases/f3800/msjudgex.htm

In order to get what they want, Microsoft is even willing to destroy things that are of great value to the whole world, such as the openness and compatibility of the Internet:

> "OSS projects have been able to gain a foothold in many server applications because of the wide utility of highly commoditized, simple protocols. By extending these protocols and developing new protocols, we can deny OSS projects entry into the market." http://www.opensource.org/halloween/halloween1.htm l

But those are only a few examples. Microsoft's entire history has been one of sabotage and fraud. Plus, Microsoft has never produced a new idea, preferring to copy others.

As a result of Microsoft's acts of destruction, PC technology is ten years behind where it should be.

Sun has a list of J2ME wireless devices.

SIGGRAPH exhibits closed on Thursday evening, but here are some of the biggest highlights:

SGI annouced their Infinite Reality 4 option for the Onyx series... comes standard with 1gbyte of texture ram and 2.5gbyte of buffer, expandable to 10gbyte of buffer for a total of 11gbyte of onboard gfx ram. Up to 16 IR4 subsystems can be installed in a single machine. Each subsystem can drive up to 8 monitors... or all subsystems can run in parallel for greater performance. The Virtual LA Urban Simulation project demoed part of their 3D LA using IR4 and the older IR3. They currently have over 1TB of texture and geometry data from Los Angeles, mostly in downtown areas... though they have 20,000 square miles mapped out, 4,000 of which are quite detailed.

Sun was showing off their XVR-4000 gfx option, a cardset that uses the IPA slot found in most Ultra-series machines. It has about 8x the geometry performance of IR3 and about 50% of the fill performance of IR4... for a fraction of the cost. 1gbyte of texture and 144mbyte of buffer. Different market targets, but interesting none the less.

Bruce Eckel's "Thinking in ..." series are particualrly good (and have the requisite ugly cover to be a classic text). Especially the C++ and Java pair, which should more accurately be titled "Thinking in Objects, C++/Java flavour". These are particularly good for people moving from procedural languages like Cobol, into the OO world. There are also a number of pieces of books he has put out for free.

The Gamma et al. book has really never impressed me, but then I suspect that is because most of the patterns they present were taugt to me over the years already... so by the time I saw that book, it was mostly review.

The other books that I've always found helpfull are the fomal specs for the language... for C++ developers, get a current copy of the bible from Stroustrup. C heads would want K&R's version. For java developers the Lang Spec from Gossling, Joy, Steele, and Bracha is a must read, and the VM spec from Lindholm and Yellin can be a great resource for anyone that is used to assembly level programming and wants to know how this "machine" works.

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it.

• Linus Torvalds is an anagram of slit anus or VD 'L,' clearly referring to himself by the first initial.
• Richard M. Stallman, spokespervert for the Gaysex's Not Unusual 'movement' is an anagram of mans cram thrill ad.
• Alan Cox is barely an anagram of anal cox which is just so filthy and unchristian it unnerves me.

What worries me is how much you know about what gay people do. I'm scared I actually read this whole thing. I think this post is a good example of the negative effects of Internet usage on people. This person obviously has no social life anymore and had to result to writing something as stupid as this. And actually take the time to do it too. Although... I think it was satire.. blah.. it's early. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

You must work for the government. Trying to post the most obscene stuff in hopes that slashdot won't be able to continue or something, due to legal woes. If i ever see your ugly face, i'm going to stick my fireplace poker up your ass, after it's nice and hot, to weld shut that nasty gaping hole of yours. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Actually, that's not at all how scrotal inflation works. I understand it involves injecting sterile saline solution into the scrotum. I've never tried this, but you can read how to do it safely in case you're interested. (Before you moderate this down, ask yourself honestly -- who are the real crazies -- people who do scrotal inflation, or people who pay $1000+ for a game console?) -- double_h, Slashdot

And don't forget that slashdot was written in Perl, which is just too close to 'Pearl Necklace' for comfort.... oh wait; that's something all you heterosexuals do.... I can't help but wonder how much faster the trolls could do First-Posts on this site if it were redone in PHP... I could hand-type dynamic HTML pages faster than Perl can do them. -- phee, Slashdot

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it.

Yes, it is also now the main processor on their XVR-1000 graphics card. It seems that a VLIW CPU is very appropriate for graphics, where parallelism is trivially found. It is somewhat odd that the 'J' in MAJC is "Java"; I guess they originally envisioned different applications for it.

I have yet to see competitive comparisons between the XVR-1000 and other cards, but I suppose it does fairly well with two 500MHz CPUs on board.

On Linux, it's as simple as removing the file or symlink to libflashplayer.so
The Sun JRE has consistently worked for me. After installing it, I made a symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to the jre plugin. Didn't even need to restart Mozilla.

Where the Itanium (and, I'm assuming, the Opteron/64-bit Athlon) really matter is in in large database and high-end workstation solutions. Basically, anything that needs more than 4GB of RAM. In these uses, it's not actually the processor speed that is needed, it's the RAM.

"Software is not designed or licensed for use in on-line control of aircraft, air traffic, aircraft navigation or aircraft communications; or in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility. You warrant that you will not use Software for these purposes."

> For the average person, Linux is completely worthless because it can't run the applications that they want.

You know that for a fact, huh? Just straight out? Linux is _worthless_ for the average person?

The arrogance of your statement astounds me.

Well, I consider myself to be an average computer user, and Linux does what I want on the desktop.

My sister and her husband are also average users, who don't know anything about computers, and Linux is doing everything they want as well.

My sister surfs the net, and sends e-mail, their daughter does school reports, and her husband maintains a "database" of baseball cards for trading. They all use Mozilla (formerly Netscape) and OpenOffice (formerly StarOffice), and the baseball card collection is tracked using the same tool that would have been used on Windows, namely, a spreadsheet.

If you were being more objective, then you would realize that Linux will do the job for many "average" users, while others, because of special application needs not yet met on Linux, must use Windows. Of course, there are still others who must use a Mac, or even an old Amiga.

> But if mom wants to run that off-the-shelf blackjack game [Linux has many card games, which very likely includes blackjack, or Linux users can run Mozilla and Java to access web-based blackjack], or recipe filing program [I'd have to check], etc, she is totally out of luck. [again with the arrogance]

> Even with Wine she is totally out of luck, since there is no way she would be able to install the program to run with Wine.

I wouldn't know, since I don't use Wine. I have not found the need to run any Windows software.

> Let's not even talk about setting up a home network with NAT,

I had no problem setting up my home network with Linux, and, when she asks, I will do the same for my sister (if she were running Windows, she would still ask me).

As to Network Address Translation, I assume you mean so that many computers can share the same Internet connection. Again, I had no problem taking an old 486, and installing a version of Linux intended for firewalls, and a little reading allowed me to set up the IPTables.

In the end, I feel much more secure about my home network, than I would if I were running Windows. Don't forget that IE currently has 19 unpatched vulnerabilities, some of which would allow an outsider to bypass your firewall and get to your home network:

http://www.pivx.com/larholm/unpatched/

> or installing new hardware.

Actually, I think Linux has the advantage here. While Windows 98 may be the king in terms of supporting the most peripherals, Linux supports more hardware that NT, 2000, or XP.

Plus, I can't tell you how many times I have installed new hardware (say a SCSI card) under Windows, just to watch Windows go into auto-detect hell, followed by something being broken (e.g. my mouse won't work).

> The typical consumer is unaware of Linux because Linux is a worthless solution to them.

Again with the arrogance. You are absolutely certain of that? No matter who the user is, Linux is _worthless_ to them? You have amazing psychic abilities.

> That will never change until Linux becomes a useful solution, and I have my doubts that that will ever change,

Oh, so now you can see into the future as well. Amazing!

> because the people who work on Linux have no motivation to make easy what John Q. Public considers important.

That is the opposite to what I have observed.

Linux developers are motivated to do what is right for Linux users, because the developers are also the users.

Contrast that with what Microsoft has done.

Do you think the Geoworks users really wanted Geoworks to stop working when they installed the next version of DOS? (Geoworks was the most popular application for home users at the time.)

Do you think the Ami Pro users really wanted Ami Pro to stop working when they installed Windows 95? (Ami Pro was the fastest growing word processor at the time, having already captured 20% of the market.)

Do you really think that Office 95 users wanted it to be impossible to trade documents with Office 97 users? (Who do you think benefitted from that, the user, or Microsoft?)

Do you really think that Netscape and WordPerfect users want to have most of IE and MS Office preloaded into memory?

Do you really think Microsoft officials were serving the public when they wrote the following:

> "I have heard it said that we want to allow our top 50 ISVs to be able to innovate on Windows as their primary platform, and port back onto their Unix platforms, but we don't want it to work too well." [Bristol vs Microsoft]

Or this:

> "at this point its [sic] not good to create MORE noise around our win32 java classes. Instead we should just quietly grow j++ share and assume that people will take advantage of our classes without ever realizing they are building win32-only java apps." [Sun vs Microsoft]

Or this:

> "Apple let us down on the browser by making Netscape the standard install." Gates then reported that he had already called Apple's CEO [Gil Amelio] to ask "how we should announce the cancellation of Mac Office...." [DOJ vs Microsoft]

Or this:

> "It's pretty clear we need to make sure Windows 3.1 only runs on top of MS DOS or an OEM version of it," and "The approach we will take is to detect dr 6 and refuse to load. The error message should be something like 'Invalid device driver interface,'" and "What the guy is supposed to do is feel uncomfortable, and when he has bugs, suspect that the problem is dr-dos and then go out to buy ms-dos. or decide to not take the risk for the other machines he has to buy for in the office." [DR-DOS vs Microsoft]

Whenever it was to their advantage, Microsoft has coldly stabbed the user in the back. You won't find Linux developers doing that.

> Your pathological hatred of Microsoft...

Actually, if anyone is demonstrating a pathology here, it would appear to be you. You seem to be so stuck on your position, that you have done no research, and have thrown facts and logic aside, in order to make huge sweeping statements about what is right for _every_ user.

I've never tried this, but you can read how to do it safely in case you're interested. (Before you moderate this down, ask yourself honestly -- who are the real crazies -- people who do scrotal inflation, or people who pay $1000+ for a game console?) -- double_h, Slashdot

dude did u used to post on msnbc's nt bulletin board now that u are doing anti-gay posts u also need to start in with anti-black stuff too c u in church -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

And don't forget that slashdot was written in Perl, which is just too close to 'Pearl Necklace' for comfort.... oh wait; that's something all you heterosexuals do.... I can't help but wonder how much faster the trolls could do First-Posts on this site if it were redone in PHP... I could hand-type dynamic HTML pages faster than Perl can do them. -- phee, Slashdot

Thank you for your valuable input on this. I am sure you will be never forgotten. BTW: Did I mention that this could be useful in terraforming Mars? Mars rulaa. -- Eimernase, Slashdot

That's inspiring. Keep up the good work, AC. May God in his wisdom grant you the strength to bring the plain honest truth to this community, and make it pure again. Yours, Cerberus. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Inspiring stuff! If only all trolls were this quality! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

It's pathetic you've spent so much time writing this. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

As with any great open-source project, you need someone asking this question, so I'll do it. When the hell is version 2.0 going to be ready?!?! -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I desperately want to suck your monolithic kernel, you sexy hunk, you. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

Dude, nothing on slashdot larger than 3 paragraphs is worth reading. Try to distill the message, whatever it was, and maybe I'll read it. As it is, I have to much open source software to write to waste even 10 seconds of precious time. 10 seconds is all its gonna take M$ to whoop Linux's ass. Vigilence is the price of Free (as in libre -- from the fine, frou frou French language) Software. Hack on fellow geeks, and remember: Friday is Bouillabaisse day except for heathens who do not believe that Jesus died for their sins. Those godless, oil drench, bearded sexist clowns can pull grits from their pantaloons (another fine, fine French word) and eat that. Anyway, try to keep your message focused and concise. For concision is the soul of derision. Way. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

I've read your gay conspiracy post version 1.3.0 and I must say I'm impressed. In particular, I appreciate how you have managed to squeeze in a healthy dose of the latent homosexuality you gay-bashing homos tend to be full of. Thank you again. -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

ooooh honey. how insecure are you!!! wann a little massage from deare bruci. love you -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot
