Sun Gets Open Source Into NSW Government
lplatypus writes "ZDNet Australia reports that Sun Microsystems has "has cleared a place for its Java Enterprise System on the NSW government's software shelf, continuing its campaign to weaken Microsoft's monopoly over the desktop." The Age clarifies that Sun's offering includes open source components such as Linux, Gnome, Mozilla and Evolution. Another article is at Australian IT, or see Sun's press release."
They train young men to drop fire on people but their commanders won't allow them to write "fuck" on their airplane because its obsene.
Someone is looking for their lost dog, Lola, and if you have found her to please return the phone call as soon as possible.
However, there was no number left to return the call to. So I don't know what to do with this stupid dog now.
Not only that fagbitch, I'll surely grind your homo foreskin up as a stew and serve it to your starving crackwhore "mother" (ironic since your "mother" features both an airplane-hanger-sized vagina and a monstrous semen-dribbling cock). Given some nourishment, your "mother" will certainly perform random acts of whatever-the-fuck-i-want, including orally sodomizing her/his pedophile "son" "Sir Haxalot". Really, aren't you dead yet?
Did any other Fark readers read this as "NSFW" as in "Sun Gets Open Source Into Not Safe For Work Government" ?????
Just me, perhaps?
Should stay AWAY from them boobies links....
I have no problem with your religion until you decide it's reason to deprive others of the truth.
Remember kids, noise is anything you don't want to hear or don't agree with while signal is the sound comming out of your backside.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
1: You have to have people voicing opinions before you can moderate them. Therefore hierarchically voicing -is- the more important aspect as moderating would exist without it.
2: I didn't say it is not useful to moderate, only that it is -more- important to provide input (which assumes you have some form of input).
3: Part of my purpose with the signature is to get people to converse since I don't need to be mod'ed -up- as my karma hit it's limit a long time ago and if they are going to mod me -down- I'd rather know why (and unless I go on a bunch of sequential tirades a few down mods isn't going to affect my karma status anyway)
4: Since most people at any given time don't have mod points and no one except perhaps the administrators have mod points all the time, it would appear that at least someone else agrees with me, otherwise we would all have mod points all the time.
5: It's a freaking signature
It is more productive to voice thoughtful opinions (reply) than to judge (moderate) others.

Fuck Sun. IBM spray-painted penises, er, penguins on sidewalks.
sun should help the guy working on the java GNOME bindings. Then their gnome desktop could be a true 'java' desktop.
before you anti-java wankers reply, the java gnome bindings are the same idea as SWT, they map directly to the C API that gnome has.
