Slashdot Mirror

Sun are putting the desktop on the back burner. I know they mention JFC/Swing in performance improvements but that's not the only place where the effort needs to go. If you search their bug database for open reports on most any GUI component you'll at least a half dozen bugs open, many of them years old (check out JTable and how well done that is). I haven't seen the soure code yet, but I'd also assume they didn't suddenly go "Hey, why did we write StringTokenizer to be such a slow, memory-hogging piece of shit?" or similarly? Sun is like Microsoft - they make as many features as possible, worry about the bugs later and let hardware catch up to overcome their crippling defects caused by overzealous and misinformed OOD. The worst thing is that young programmers are led to think that Sun's code is actually *good* which spreads their poor, inefficient form to the next generations. I would rant on more but I've said this too many times already. Don't worry, I'll stop once I can get enough money to work for myself and dump Java.

I used to write large-scale multithreaded network servers, where somthing like three to four hundred threads could be running at any given moment inside the server. Java's class library made this really quite easy, and it's syntax is pleasant enough to work with.

OK.. I am a Java fan... (recently this has been changing though.)

I have mixed feelings with JDK 1.4.

The JPDA (debugging) support in 1.4 is vastly improved. You can now redefine classes in a running virtual machine. This is really cool and I have written an Ant 'Redefine task to take advantage of this.

The assert facility is OK.... i don't like the fact that they added an Assert keyword but I don't get to make the decisions.

There is also some controversy.

The JSPA agreement that one has to sign to participate in the JCP is WAY too restrictive for Open Source developers. The Apache Software Foundation has a good document where they drawn the line in the sand on their participation.

The Log4J people are upset because there is now a 'stanard' Java package for logging. IMO the 'standard' package is inferior to Log4J in many situations.

The regexp package is not all it is cracked up to be either. I would recommend Jakarta ORO or Jakarta Regexp.

As far as that... it runs GREAT on Linux. Probably the most SOLID VM I have ever run.

They did break some stuff with legacy code. If you ever named a class 'URI' your code will now fail to compile because they put this class in the java.net package which everyone imports anyway.

As far as C# vs .Java. I am really impressed with the CLR/CLI stuff. Right now, as it stands, Java is a proprietary language. Unless we see SUN Open Source Java (or push it through a standards committee), we *may* see a JDK 1.5... but no one will use it.

Also.. check out my Reptile project. It is Java based, only requires JDK 1.2 and incorporates some really cool Java/XML stuff. :)

This release is not a fina stable release.
It's just the RC:

The screenshots look impressive. It would be cool if I could play that on my platform. And however I realize, that I belong to the minority of gamers (which is good, like Mark Twain has already said, "Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."), I still think that when they would wisely program this game for many different gaming platforms and few desktop ones, it'd be a piece of cake to release other version. But I'm affraid that they would prefer us to use other options, unfortunately...

Oh, well, I gues I'll just have to wait for Mason, or Warewolf, or Sands of Syllus, or Archipelago, or Catacombs, or Belchfire, or Acid Tempest, or Phoenix...

1) By default, it does not auto-migrate

Hmmm, maybe that is why it all of a sudden started working when I re-installed it. Anyway, I highly recomend MosixView [www.mosixview.com] for Mosix Administration. It is a effective but simple way to monitor and adjust your cluster.

2) Migration only occurrs after a certain load average is maintained

I believe that is what Prof Amnon is using for developing U-Mosix. From the home www.mosix.org page...

"U-MOSIX provides even load distribution using several of the algorithms of K-MOSIX. U-MOSIX is better tuned for cluster and GRID computing, including the ability to handle large number of short processes, run in heterogeneous clusters, with different versions of Unix such as FreeBSD, Linux and Solaris."

For those of us that don't want to wait for U-Mosix for grid-computing (also known as cluster queueing) I suggest Sun's Open Sourced Grid Ware Engine. It comes complete with a Beowulf Cluster built in.

3) Network usage for migration was very heavy over Fast Ethernet.

Actually, we haven't noticed much of a load at all.

Btw, we are a commercial cluster ;)

It's called jini.

• Regular expressions: J2SDK 1.4 will have this built in. It's so compatible to the Perl RE standard that SUN informally refers to it as "a hidden perl in J2SE 1.4".
  
• The speed of Swing: I never found Swing exceptionally slow, although it does require a certain level of machinery to feel "right". SUN has addressed many of the inefficient pieces of Swing in the upcoming J2SDK 1.4. You can read about it here (PDF).
  
• Performance in general: SUN is working hard on this, and 1.4 seems very promising.
  
• Scalability: In my opinion, whereas both Perl and Java may be "write once, run everywhere", Perl is also "write once, read once" ;) While Perl excel for smaller ad-hoc tasks where you need something quick and don't care if it's dirty, I wouldn't want to be on a large development team for a huge project and write everything in Perl ;)

Here is a paper that describes a Java Virtual Machine written in Java.

Implementing a Java Virtual Machine in the Java Programming Language

No, "A mixin is a type that a class can implement in addition to its "primary type" to declare that it provides some optional behaviour." [Bloch01]

In a language like Java that has interfaces and lacks multiple inheritance, mixins can be implemented using delegation, or they can be implemented "in-place".

For example, any object that you want to sort by must be Comparable . If you implement a Colour class and you want to be able maintain a SortedSet of them in "rainbow" order, you could either implement a ColourComparer class and delegate the equals() and compareTo() methods to it, or implement them in the Colour class. In either case, the Colour class's implementation of Comparable constitutes a mixin.

*sigh* This is slashdot, so I doubt that anyone's going to take notice of this, but...
this paper explains why people want to ADD operator overloading to Java. Oh, and this isn't just some hack, this is Guy Steele. He has been heavily involved in the design and/or standaradization of C, Lisp and Java. Yeah. He's smart.
People want Operator Overloading as a choice in language design. All the other objections to Overloading in this thread has been about C++ overloading. You don't need to have constructors or whatever or not being able to find out what the call actually is. That's a limitation of the language, not the concept.
-Dan

I would go with Java. It is really object-oriented and clear structured, there are many implementations out there (Sun's Official, gcj, IBMs), it is cross-platform and if you tweal it a little it can be fast.

Oh, goody! The chance to duke it out in front of an audience! ;-)

You'll excuse me if I have my doubts based on the previous track record.

First things first. There is no file system hierarchy imposed by Java. The usual package naming convention you see is just that, a convention, and doesn't signify that the packages are in a parent-child relationship. As for the folders, I guess it was just a convenient way of representing the existing convention in a file system. A repository/database based system like Visual Age for Java is free to use whatever it wants. You can just as easily put your classes in a flat list of directories corresponding to packages as long as you have a compiler that understands it (easy to do in a day by driving JDK compiler). The point is, you don't violate the language or API specification by doing so.

I wouldn't say inner classes and operator overloading are at the same level of utility. One is (useful) syntactic sugar, the other is a way to create fine grained objects not easily represented otherwise. See this for an example of their use. This is not to say that operator overloading isn't useful, it's a great way to write seamless data structures. In fact, I wish I had them in Java, but with names and interfaces and without the C++ syntax.

It's not fine grained. AppDomain's and Assembly's are okay when all you want is to isolate unrelated components from each other (like web apps in a servlet engine), but they fail when those components need to interact with each other. In effect, this precludes a whole class of software that use aggressively component based architectures, like JBoss, HP's Core Services Framework, Apache Jakarta Avalon or the Eclipse IDE Framework, for that matter. The basic problem is that isolation and resolution are lumped together in .NET, and you won't be able to isolate components and resolve references from one component to another at the same time. See the Developer's Guide on MSDN for details. I'd love to be proved wrong on this because I like some of AppDomain's details and similar stuff with more advanced functionality is in JSR 121 for application isolation, so let me know if this line of reasoning is not correct.

Because it's a big mechanism with lots of artifacts hard coded into the language itself. Funny, because you pointed out the difficulty of using operator overloading correctly when I see the cryptic application of operators for managing event listeners in C#. See this article on why delegates are not a good idea, it covers the basics even though it's not about C#'s version of them (I like Objective-C's delegates though, but they are different).

Reflection works just as well, thankyouverymuch. I find it fundamentally wrong to stuff code with metadata when you can have it separate. I like the descriptor stuff in J2EE, I wouldn't want bits of it in my source code. Yes, sometimes it's more work, but it gives you the flexibility to change mappings (it's always a mapping to something else, be it EJB's, WebMethods in .NET, or whatever) on the fly. Of course there are exceptions, it becomes tedious when there is a 1-to-1 mapping from the code to target domain with no properties on the mapping itself. A canonical example is the @deprecated Javadoc tag in Java. In the end, I think it makes a big difference to have discipline to not abuse such a system, and all previous experience says that MS doesn't have that.

But that's just me, and objects in the mirror may seem further than they really are to you...

The Swing Sightings

RFM

SunScreen has been doing this for quite some time.

Read about it here

Show me an environment that provides all of this and I will switch in a second. I am not even showing the J2EE stuff.

Actually you can do it if your applet is signed and you have granted it the UniversalLinkAccess permission. Currently it looks like this still doesn't work under mozilla, but it should. Sun claims that it works with their Java Plug-in, see JNI and Java Plug-in

This comment states it best.

Even Sun is saying the release is defered.
---Sig filler so you read the comment.---

I (together with many others I'm sure) also submitted that Java 1.4 (Merlin) has been released, which I think is pretty big news, but it seems that story was rejected.

/LarsWestergren

Disclaimer required: that's my opinion, not my employer's, and I'm biased.

If you don't decide to buy a premade solution, we're very happy with our Sun Netra X1s and at $995, they're quite affordable.

Apart from this, there is the often overlooked problem that apps from one platform that are somehow ran on the other totally don't adhere to the "host platform" UI guidelines and conventions. This may also be part of the reason there aren't many popular GUI Java apps (Sun has published Java L&F design guidelines though). Applications that look and behave "strange" are less likely to be accepted by users.

I don't have experience with them, but I have seen that Sun markets Cobalt servers that might be appropriate for your needs.

Hmmm, I thought Sun charged a J2EE license fee for those ISVs who incorporate it in their offerings (like IBM and BEA). There never has been a direct cost for end users that I know of. (It also may be possible to clean-room the APIs and not call it J2EE, I'm not sure.)

All right, I did some checking and here's the result. I doubt Sun has dropped these fees since, please cite a reference if you think so.

299,792,458 m/s...not just a good idea, its the law!

and history with M$ and this kind of stuff is long and basically the same....YOU ARE FSCKED !!!

Read the explanation. That's covered. They're implementing the ECMA spec and adding seemless access to GNOME. If there's compatibility with Microsoft's implementation, that's nice since portability is free. If Microsoft deviates from the standard, it's a shame Mono is still has merit, especially language independence which was always important to GNOME. Essentially, Mono is cherry-picking features from .NET.

Okay, you're asking, why not use Java's JVM since it supports multiple languages. As someone pointed out in the gnome lists, Java, like TCL, is Turing complete so it can support any language your CPU can. Suppose you tried to implement Java in TCL? Would you be pleased with the performance? Probably not. Java's JVM lacks several features that make running languages like C++/C, Lisp, and Haskell fast, including:

• support for tail calls
• less heap allocation, due to
  • value types
  • function pointer types (rather than heap-allocated closures)
  • byref arguments (rather than returning multiple values in heap-allocated objects or arrays)
  • support for unverifiable code (which can avoid the need for some runtime checks)

The .NET's CLR gives you these features. If Java's JVM were open source, the Mono team could easily extend the JVM to support these features. It would certainly make life a lot easier. Unfortunately, if they did, Mono would get little commercial support, and they'd receive a call from Sun's legal department. I personally hope .NET and Mono force Sun to do the right thing and extend the JVM to efficiently support other languages.

Java is nice, but the take it or leave attitude of Java is the reason .NET was not laughed out of existence.

How is this situation any different from free software projects using Sun's Java technologies? Isn't this just two sides of the same coin?

On one side you have Gnome intending to use Mono, a cross-platform language and runtime environment based on open standards,
and on the other you have projects such as Apache's Jakarta using Java, a cross-platform language and runtime envionment based on almost open standards.

I don't recall seeing RMS bitching too heavily about Sun's absolute control of the Java language and runtime.what it was that RMS didn't like about it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's just being reactionary for the sake of it.

If you use C# - seems like a gutsy move given the language and environments lack of maturity - I'd imagine that these would be critical factors for a networked game.

Just thinking out loud, but it sounds like the client subscribes to updates from units in a particular "area" (defined however you like) and will automatically be subscribed to the "partial" or "distant" updates for adjacent areas. A client's key allows it to subscribe to exactly one area at a time.

Server side you keep a list of client subscriptions and something like the PropertyChangeListener approach from Java to simplify the updates from your units. I think any solution has these or similar elements, your implementation will depend on what C# can do for you. I don't know anything about that. I used Java links as examples , since I didn't find any C# API links out there.

Please let me know how things go, and I'm interested in feedback on my ideas from more experienced MMPG builders out there.

If you want non-Intel box to use exclusively for running UNIX apps, you'd be better off with something like a Sun Blade 100. A 500MHz UltraSPARC system that costs less than most decent Macs and PCs. And it comes with UNIX (Solaris) factory-installed. If you really don't like Solaris, you can install Linux for SPARC on it.

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• 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.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexual lover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practise of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.

Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say 'there is no /opt mount point' because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement. (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'

FEEDBACK

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

Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux 'Sauce code' once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase 'Monolithic Kernel'?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.

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

Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!

you really should post this logged in. i wish i could remember jebus's password, cuz i'd give it to you. -- mighty jebus, Slashdot

Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the 'Open Sauce' movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.

ROLF LAMO i hate linux FAGGOTS -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.

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

Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux 'sauce code' is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: 'Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow.' And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!

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

For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.

Secondly, this message is for every man. Computers know no colour. Not only that, but one of the finest websites in the world is maintained by a Black Man . Now fuck off you racist donkey felcher.

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

Although there is nothing unholy about the fine heterosexual act of ejaculating between a woman's breasts, squirting one's load up towards her neck and chin area, it should be noted that Perl (standing for Pansies Entering Rectums Locally) is also close to 'Pearl Monocle,' 'Pearl Nosering,' and the ubiquitous 'Pearl Enema.'

One scary thing about Perl is that it contains hidden homosexual messages. Take the following code: LWP::Simple -- It looks innocuous enough, doesn't it? But look at the line closely: There are two colons next to each other! As Larry 'Balls to the' Wall would openly admit in the Perl Documentation, Perl was designed from the ground up to indoctrinate it's programmers into performing unnatural sexual acts -- having two colons so closely together is clearly a reference to the perverse sickening act of 'colon kissing,' whereby two homosexual queers spread their buttocks wide, pressing their filthy torn sphincters together. They then share small round objects like marbles or golfballs by passing them from one rectum to another using muscle contraction alone. This is also referred to in programming 'circles' as 'Parameter Passing.'

And PHP stands for Perverted Homosexual Penetration. Didn't you know?

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

However, I should be cautious about revealing your name 'Cerberus' on such a filthy den of depravity as Slashdot. It is a well known fact that the 'Kerberos' documentation from Microsoft is a detailed manual describing, in intimate, exacting detail, how to sexually penetrate a variety of unwilling canine animals; be they domesticated, wild, or mythical. Slashdot posters have taken great pleasure in illegally spreading this documentation far and wide, treating it as an 'extension' to the Linux 'Sauce Code,' for the sake of 'interoperability.' (The slang term they use for nonconsensual intercourse -- their favourite kind.)

In fact, sick twisted Linux deviants are known to have LAN parties, (Love of Anal Naughtiness, needless to say.), wherein they entice a stray dog, known as the 'Samba Mount,' into their homes. Up to four of these filth-sodden blasphemers against nature take turns to plunge their erect, throbbing, uncircumcised members, conkers-deep, into the rectum, mouth, and other fleshy orifices of the poor animal. Eventually, the 'Samba Mount' collapses due to 'overload,' and needs to be 'rebooted.' (i.e., kicked out into the street, and left to fend for itself.) Many Linux users boast about their 'uptime' in such situations.

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

ANUX -- A full Linux distribution... Up your ass!

There's a Java class called ClassLoader that allows Java programs to dynamically load classes at runtime. The classes can be stored somehow on the computer, downloaded over the network, or generated dynamically by the program if it knows the Java class format. You can make portable self-modifying code with Java ;). Basically, you can make your precompiled class files into shared libraries or whatever, but you still need to be able to handle bytecode class files received over the network, compiled with a source-to-bytecode compiler, etc.

rofl, u assume someone is using ms just cos they dont like linux? thats kind of egocentric aint it?

Of course not! Everyone knows there are only two operating systems in existance, linux (may Allah bless it's name), and Windows.

Do you need to be sent to a re-education camp?

C-X C-S

-Steve

People think of the VM as an interpreter that executes the bytecodes. That's a particular implementation of a VM. And not a very good one -- which is why no production VM works that way.

The simplest optimization is to use a JIT. This gives you native execution speed once the class files are loaded -- but loading is slower, because it includes compiling the byte codes. You can end up wasting a lot of time compiling code you'll only execute once -- most programs spend 90% of their time in 10% of their code. Depending on the application, you can end up wasting more time on unnecessary compilation than you save by running native code.

Intuition suggests that the most efficient thing to do is to "get rid" of the VM by compiling everything to native code before you distribute your app. But that doesn't get rid of the VM -- it just converts it to a different form. There are some VM features you can't compile away, such as garbage collection. Some experts claim (not me, I get dizzy when I even read benchmarks) that "pure" nativeness is illusory and not that efficient. Plus you lose a lot of the features of the Java platform when you run the program that way. Might as well stick with C++.

Some VM implementations use a sophisticated comprimize between interpreters and JIT compilers. If you can identify the small part of the program that does most of the actual work, you know what parts of the program really need to be compiled. How do you do this? You wait until the program actually starts running!

Advocates of this approach claim that it has the potential to be faster than C++ and other native-code languages. A traditional optimizing compiler can only make decisions based on general predictions as to how the program will behave at run time. But if you watch the program's behavior, you have specific knowledge of what needs to be optimized.

Computer science breakthrough, or illogical fantasy? Don't ask me, I'm just a spectator.

The engineers I picked this stuff up were very contemptuous of "microbenchmarks" like those described in the developerWorks article. Nothing to do with the real world.

The concept of adding self-contained "bricks" of hardware/software to build functionality in a system of devices sounds a lot like the goals of Sun's Jini project, not necessarily limited to traditional computing applications though.

It has come to my attention that the entire Linux community is a hotbed of so called 'alternative sexuality,' which includes anything from hedonistic orgies to homosexuality to pedophilia.

What better way of demonstrating this than by looking at the hidden messages contained within the names of some of Linux's most outspoken advocates:

• 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.

I'm sure that Eric S. Raymond, composer of the satanic homosexual propaganda diatribe The Cathedral and the Bizarre, is probably an anagram of something queer, but we don't need to look that far as we know he's always shoving a gun up some poor little boy's rectum. Update: Eric S. Raymond is actually an anagram for secondary rim and cord in my arse. It just goes to show you that he is indeed queer.

Update the Second: It is also documented that Evil Sicko Gaymond is responsible for a nauseating piece of code called Fetchmail, which is obviously sinister sodomite slang for 'Felch Male' -- a disgusting practise. For those not in the know, 'felching' is the act performed by two perverts wherein one sucks their own post-coital ejaculate out of the other's rectum. In fact, it appears that the dirty Linux faggots set out to undermine the good Republican institution of e-mail, turning it into 'e-male.'

As far as Richard 'Master' Stallman goes, that filthy fudge-packer was actually quoted on leftist commie propaganda site Salon.com as saying the following: 'I've been resistant to the pressure to conform in any circumstance,' he says. 'It's about being able to question conventional wisdom,' he asserts. 'I believe in love, but not monogamy,' he says plainly.

And this isn't a made up troll bullshit either! He actually stated this tripe, which makes it obvious that he is trying to politely say that he's a flaming homo slut!

Speaking about 'flaming,' who better to point out as a filthy chutney ferret than Slashdot's very own self-confessed pederast Jon Katz. Although an obvious deviant anagram cannot be found from his name, he has already confessed, nay boasted of the homosexual perversion of corrupting the innocence of young children. To quote from the article linked:

'I've got a rare kidney disease,' I told her. 'I have to go to the bathroom a lot. You can come with me if you want, but it takes a while. Is that okay with you? Do you want a note from my doctor?'

Is this why you were touching your penis in the cinema, Jon? And letting the other boys touch it too?

We should also point out that Jon Katz refers to himself as 'Slashdot's resident Gasbag.' Is there any more doubt? For those fortunate few who aren't aware of the list of homosexual terminology found inside the Linux 'Sauce Code,' a 'Gasbag' is a pervert who gains sexual gratification from having a thin straw inserted into his urethra (or to use the common parlance, 'piss-pipe'), then his homosexuallover blows firmly down the straw to inflate his scrotum. This is, of course, when he's not busy violating the dignity and copyright of posters to Slashdot by gathering together their postings and publishing them en masse to further his twisted and manipulative journalistic agenda.

Sick, disgusting antichristian perverts, the lot of them.

In addition, many of the Linux distributions (a 'distribution' is the most common way to spread the faggots' wares) are run by faggot groups. The Slackware distro is named after the 'Slack-wear' fags wear to allow easy access to the anus for sexual purposes. Furthermore, Slackware is a close anagram of claw arse, a reference to the homosexual practice of anal fisting. The Mandrake product is run by a group of French faggot satanists, and is named after the faggot nickname for the vibrator. It was also chosen because it is an anagram for dark amen and ram naked, which is what they do.

Another 'distro,' (abbrieviated as such because it sounds a bit like 'Disco,' which is where homosexuals preyed on young boys in the 1970s), is Debian, an anagram of in a bed, which could be considered innocent enough (after all, a bed is both where we sleep and pray), until we realise what other names Debian uses to describe their foul wares. 'Woody' is obvious enough, being a term for the erect male penis, glistening with pre-cum. But far sicker is the phrase 'Frozen Potato' that they use. This filthy term, again found in the secret homosexual 'Sauce Code,' refers to the solo homosexual practice of defecating into a clear polythene bag, shaping the turd into a crude approximation of the male phallus, then leaving it in the freezer overnight until it becomes solid. The practitioner then proceeds to push the frozen 'potato' up his own rectum, squeezing it in and out until his tight young balls erupt in a screaming orgasm.

And Red Hat is secret homo slang for the tip of a penis that is soaked in blood from a freshly violated underage ringpiece.

The fags have even invented special tools to aid their faggotry! For example, the 'supermount' tool was devised to allow deeper penetration, which is good for fags because it gives more pressure on the prostate gland. 'Automount' is used, on the other hand, because Linux users are all fat and gay, and need to mount each other automatically.

The depths of their depravity can be seen in their use of 'mount points.' These are, plainly speaking, the different points of penetration. The main one is obviously /anus, but there are others. Militant fags even say 'there is no /opt mount point' because for these dirty perverts faggotry is not optional but a way of life.

More evidence is in the fact that Linux users say how much they love `man`, even going so far as to say that all new Linux users (who are in fact just innocent heterosexuals indoctrinated by the gay propaganda) should try out `man`. In no other system do users boast of their frequent recourse to a man.

Other areas of the system also show Linux's inherit gayness. For example, people are often told of the 'FAQ,' but how many innocent heterosexual Windows users know what this actually means. The answer is shocking: Faggot Anal Quest: the voyage of discovery for newly converted fags!

Even the title 'Slashdot' originally referred to a homosexual practice. Slashdot of course refers to the popular gay practice of blood-letting. The Slashbots, of course are those super-zealous homosexuals who take this perversion to its extreme by ripping open their anuses, as seen on the site most popular with Slashdot users, the depraved work of Satan, http://www.eff.org/.

The editors of Slashdot also have homosexual names: 'Hemos' is obvious in itself, being one vowel away from 'Homos.' But even more sickening is 'Commander Taco' which sounds a bit like 'Commode in Taco,' filthy gay slang for a pair of spreadeagled buttocks that are caked with excrement . (The best form of lubrication, they insist.) Sometimes, these 'Taco Commodes' have special 'Salsa Sauce' (blood from a ruptured rectum) and 'Cheese' (rancid flakes of penis discharge) toppings. And to make it even worse, Slashdot runs on Apache!

The Apache server, whose use among fags is as prevalent as AIDS, is named after homosexual activity -- as everyone knows, popular faggot band, the Village People, featured an Apache Indian, and it is for him that this gay program is named.

And that's not forgetting the use of patches in the Linux fag world -- patches are used to make the anus accessible for repeated anal sex even after its rupture by a session of fisting.

To summarise: Linux is gay. 'Slash -- Dot' is the graphical description of the space between a young boy's scrotum and anus. And BeOS is for hermaphrodites and disabled 'stumpers.'

FEEDBACK

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

Well, the only reason I know all about this is because I had the misfortune to read the Linux 'Sauce code' once. Although publicised as the computer code needed to get Linux up and running on a computer (and haven't you always been worried about the phrase 'Monolithic Kernel'?), this foul document is actually a detailed and graphic description of every conceivable degrading perversion known to the human race, as well as a few of the major animal species. It has shocked and disturbed me, to the point of needing to shock and disturb the common man to warn them of the impending homo-calypse which threatens to engulf our planet.

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

Doesn't it give you a hard-on to imagine your thick strong poker ramming it's way up my most sacred of sphincters? You're beyond help, my friend, as the only thing you can imagine is the foul penetrative violation of another man. Are you sure you're not Eric Raymond? The government, being populated by limp-wristed liberals, could never stem the sickening tide of homosexual child molesting Linux advocacy. Hell, they've given NAMBLA free reign for years!

you really should post this logged in. i wish i could remember jebus's password, cuz i'd give it to you. -- mighty jebus, Slashdot

Thank you for your kind words of support. However, this document shall only ever be posted anonymously. This is because the 'Open Sauce' movement is a sham, proposing homoerotic cults of hero worshipping in the name of freedom. I speak for the common man. For any man who prefers the warm, enveloping velvet folds of a woman's vagina to the tight puckered ringpiece of a child. These men, being common, decent folk, don't have a say in the political hypocrisy that is Slashdot culture. I am the unknown liberator.

ROLF LAMO i hate linux FAGGOTS -- Anonymous Coward, Slashdot

We shouldn't hate them, we should pity them for the misguided fools they are... Fanatical Linux zeal-outs need to be herded into camps for re-education and subsequent rehabilitation into normal heterosexual society. This re-education shall be achieved by forcing them to watch repeats of Baywatch until the very mention of Pamela Anderson causes them to fill their pants with healthy heterosexual jism.

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

Well, it just goes to show that even the holy Linux 'sauce code' is riddled with bugs that need fixing. (The irony of Jon Katz not even being able to inflate his scrotum correctly has not been lost on me.) The Linux pervert elite already acknowledge this, with their queer slogan: 'Given enough arms, all rectums are shallow.' And anyway, the PS2 sucks major cock and isn't worth the money. Intellivision forever!

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

For one thing, whilst Linux is a cavalcade of queer propaganda masquerading as the future of computing, NT is used by people who think nothing better of encasing their genitals in quick setting plaster then going to see a really dirty porno film, enjoying the restriction enforced onto them. Remember, a wasted arousal is a sin in the eyes of the Catholic church. Clearly, the only god-fearing Christian operating system in existence is CP/M -- The Christian Program Monitor. All computer users should immediately ask their local pastor to install this fine OS onto their systems. It is the only route to salvation.

ANUX -- A full Linux distribution... Up your ass!

The Linux operating system was born in 1991 and was created by one man, a
Finnish student coincidentally named Linux Torvalds. Since these humble
beginnings, a multi-million dollar
industry has sprung up to exploit the commercial potential of Linux, but
until recently Linux has eluded mainstream acceptance. However, due to the
recent economic downturn together with uncertainty over changes to Microsoft's pricing policy, Linux is
now being touted as a serious contender to Microsoft Windows. While there
are many other alternatives to Windows, including BSD which is based on SUN's (Stanford University Network - correction by bc) server-grade Solaris operating system,
none have commanded the same level of media attention as Linux.

Linux Mandrake is just the
latest in a long line of quirkily christened versions of Linux. Previous
versions of Linux have been named Red Hat, Slack Ware,
Storm and Coral. In stark contrast to the mundane names such
as 98, ME or NT preferred by Microsoft, the crazy
names of each Linux release hint at its renegade nature.

My foray into the world of Linux began by downloading a "CD image" from
the Linux web site. But don't worry, this isn't software piracy, it's
perfectly legal! Linux is shareware, meaning that it can be freely
redistributed without fear of a visit by the Business Software Alliance. The free
availability of Linux is a major reason for its popularity among
cash-strapped students and self-styled anti-capitalist hackers.

Before installing new software, it is always advisable to read the
documentation. Unfortunately, an unpleasant surprise was in store for me
in the "required configuration" section of the manual.
I was shocked to learn that Linux Mandrake only runs on Pentium
processors, meaning that my hopes of testing the water with my old Gateway 486 were dashed. Furthermore, a
whopping 32 megabytes of memory are required to run Linux! Although the advocates of Linux self-righteously
boast the efficiency of their chosen operating system and deride the
"bloatware" produced by Microsoft, it appears that their claims are
blatantly incorrect. Although my humble 486 will happily run Windows 95,
it seems that Linux requires far more powerful, and more expensive,
computer hardware. Is this really the sign of a lean, mean operating system?
Of course not.

Sadly, not even being able to install Linux is just the first of my many
complaints. A brief perusal of the
features of Linux Mandrake reveals that Linux is sorely lacking many
crucial productivity applications. For example, why isn't the industry
standard web browser, Internet Explorer, included with Linux? Despite the
best efforts of the experts at the Internet
Engineering Task Force to encourage adoption of the Internet Explorer
standard, the creators of Linux seem to think that they know better. By
refusing to adhere to recognised standards, Linux is simply undermining
its own credibility.

Similarly, almost all of the world's most popular and widely used software
is completely incompatible with Linux! It may surprise you to learn that
your copy of Microsoft Office, Outlook Express, or Lotus Notes will not
work under Linux. Those who wish to use their computer for recreational
purposes are also out of luck, for almost all of the most popular games
are unavailable for Linux. Although a wide range of software is freely
available for Linux, these pitiful offerings are mostly unfinished, unreliable and do not
bear comparison to their commercial counterparts.

Computer security is also an area that seems to have been overlooked by
the developers of Linux. In these times when hacking and viruses are
commonplace, it defies belief to learn that no anti-virus software is available for
Linux. To add insult to injury, there is no Linux version of the popular
ZoneAlarm firewall. By using Linux,
you are issuing an open invitation to the hordes of ne'er-do-wells on the
Internet.

The shortcomings of Linux are obvious. Without even installing Linux
Mandrake, I have exposed several fundamental flaws. Surely it is not too
much to expect that, after ten years of development, the creators of Linux
would have addressed these problems? The real question that the
prospective Linux user must ask himself is, "Why bother?" After all,
Microsoft Windows comes free with most PCs and there simply isn't a need
to replace it, particularly not with a product of inferior quality.

Although it is always tempting to support the underdog, Windows XP will
be the deserved victor in the battle ahead. I recommend that those
Adequacy readers who are hoping to upgrade their operating system
patiently wait for the release of Windows XP, rather than foolishly
wasting their time, effort and money on Linux.

If instead, you are refering to the Mac Toolbox that used to live in the ROM, you would still be wrong. This has not been the case since the first iMac's were rolled out in 1998. Machines prior to this era are now refered to as Old World Macs while those that came after this change are refered to as New World macs.

But that depends on the version of the Ultra 5 you have.

Don't know the details of the drive model in the Ultra 5 under my desk, but as IDE drives go, it's a real bottom feeder. To wit: http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_pub/Devices/Disk/ DISK_Sgte_ST34342A.html

That's right: 4500 RPM...
