Another J2EE vs .NET Performance Comparison
Starting yesterday, we received a bunch of story submissions about a
performance comparison between J2EE and .Net. It didn't seem all that exciting, and we sort of ignored the story. But as usual, it appears that some people take issue with the methodology and conclusions.
This mail archive is the complete (as far as I know) communication between myself and the NetBSD core between December 15 (when they removed all my NetBSD access) and the day OpenBSD was formed. It
actually goes a little further beyond that time, and includes mail from a few other people involved in the negotiations.
This archive makes it clear that I tried everything I could to avoid having to form a seperate project, but that the NetBSD core holds the complete responsibility for the need and creation of OpenBSD, another splinter group.
After my access was revokes, I struggled for 7 months to get access to the CVS tree back. I was told to agree to things others did not have
to, to wait for an agreement document -- it's all in the archive. It was suggested that I merge my 19,000 lines of diffs by mailing them to
an individual who would merge them. The entire affair was ridiculous.
Those people are
Charles Hannum
Chris Demetriou
JT Conklin
Paul Kranenburg
Adam Glass
There are newer NetBSD core members, but they have done nothing to change the situation.
At subway, you get a sub prepared anyway you like, by the friendly, efficient staff. Choose from mouth-watering veggies, succulent meats and cheeses, and a variety of freshly-baked bread. Why not stop in today and pick up some subs for the whole family to enjoy. I suggest the Italian BMT, piled high with genoa salami, pepperoni, ham, and provolone cheese. Top it with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles, a few spritzes of italian dressing, and a dash of salt and you've got a meal fit for king. Subway: eat fresh!

fo shizzle my nizzle click here (note: the site is currently down. I expect it to come back online around Thanksgiving) to dispatch Jared and his formerly overweight goons to crack down on Subway if they don't honor the $3.49 Troll Tuesday deal. Make sure you provide the store number and address. Mine is store number 5839. Don't believe me about the concept of the jared dispatch? Yahoo has an article about it here, although it is pretty light on the details.
Note: I've gotten a few comments that the link to Jared Dispatch doesn't work. I think the site got taken down because of abuse of the service. Although the site got taken down, I still highly reccomend Subway and their high quality subs. To show my appreciation, here is a link to Free Subway Coupons. I had to redirect it through Yahoo's site redirector, because my of the filter at work. Anyways, here is the link!
Note 2: I've received word that those links to yahoo actually point to goatse.cx. I am truly sorry about that, and I found the cause. A couple weeks ago, a hacker broke into yahoo and set up some scripts that redirect the user to goatse.cx if a file is in a certain directory. I accidentally tried to access a file in one of those haunted directories. I fixed the links (I have a cousin who works at yahoo), so they should bring you to the actual sites now, not goatse.cx. Update 10/28: The hacker, or should I say hax0r, actually has posted a page on yahoo on how he did it and how the goatse redirector works. It's a very good read. I suggest reading it soon before yahoo finds out about it and takes it down. Check it out ASAP!
Note 3: I am working on locating the articles using google's cache. It is taking some time because I don't remember the exact titles. However, I hope to have the links fixed and working very soon. Keep eating at Subway in the meantime, and request that they bring back the jalepeno cheese roll. It is a fanscrumptiously brilliant roll.
Note 4: To all those who think that sub is an incorrect term, I live in upstate NY, and we call it a sub here. There are no hoagies, grinders, po'boys, footlongs, heroes, or any other made up names. It's not hoagieway after all, its Subway.

.NET version featured just 2,096 (and not the other way round, as we originally stated). The benefit of hindsight, or is one of our class libraries missing? ®
But the benchmark throws up the remarkable statistic that the Java version required 14,004 lines of code, while the
Are all of your linux gurus just scared of MS having a better product or what? Here's a news flash:
MICROSOFT ALREADY HAS BETTER PRODUCTS
WindowsXP / Office XP / XP Server is still the killer app that people are buying regardless of the high cost, simply because there's no other product on the market right now with that feature set and ease of use. Now, most of their server stuff is expensive and slow for many web hosting applications, but don't discount their products just because of the Corporate namesake in front of them.
