Slashdot Mirror


The Faded Sun

jlowery writes "Robert X. Cringely seems to think so. Forget the hardware side: what does this mean to the future of Java? Will there be enough incentive to continue to develop the language for whoever acquires Sun? Or will Java developers have to swallow hard and submit to the whims of the dark overlord? Maybe I'll switch to Mac development, after all."

    Sammy Davis Jr.

    On November 19, 1954, the career of Sammy Davis Jr. almost came to a sudden and tragic close. While driving to Los Angeles to record the title tune of the Universal International picture "Six Bridges to Cross", Sammy was the victim of an automobile smash-up and narrowly escaped death. He was so seriously injured that his left eye had to be removed. In spite of the terrible shock, Sammy rallied and went on with his work; he even insisted that he was the "luckiest guy in the world".

    Since his accident, Sammy's courageous spirit and ever-growing talent have won him increasingly enthusiastic audiences. Let's hear it for Sammy Davis Jr. !

    Celebrate Negro Month 2003 with Slashdot.

  3. You know what they said about the fucking troll? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    The fucking troll said FUCKING so many times that he slipped on his own dick, fell, and his anus ruptured because he fucked himself. Oh and was stuck in his apartment wedged between a door for so long that nobodoy asked what happened to "that fat dirty MCSE down the hall". It's ok. In less than 3 months, you'll eventually recover from exausting yourself trying to get off the floor and you'll shrink from a plump 645-pseudogeek pounds to a fucking ripe 280 pounds and you'll be able to do commercials for subway acting aliased as "Jared Mohhammed Fuckvulva" and you'll have an endless supply of low-fat turkey and manchowder.

    FUCKING GIVE IT A FUCKING REST.
