Beyond An Open Source Java

Karma Sucks writes "LinuxToday is featuring a intriguing article on why Sun should open source Java, as a stronger followup to the recent ESR saga that was reported here. The writer notes: 'Sun needs to do some radical things to improve its chances of survival, and all of them involve Open Source in some form or the other.' One thing the article fails to mention is the threat of Mono, which should be of special interest to Sun, with its vested interest in GNOME."

Open Source Java

[Anonymous Coward]

When I was a kid I used to wet my bed. My parents were nice people and didn't really punish me or even let me know that this would be unacceptable at some point. So I just kept on doing it.

Well, one night when I was about 6 I woke up and I had to poop. Having never been scolded for pissing in my bed, I just stayed right there and shit all over my pajamas and my sheets and went right back to sleep.

The next morning my mother was doing the laundry. I still can remember the expression on her face as she held up my bedsheet covered in streaks of 8-hour old shit... Well, let me tell you, that day I learned that it's not accaptable to piss OR shit in bed.

HELLO EKROUT TROLL BITCH FAGGOT! MOD PARENT DOWN!

Modded down... does having a C preference get you shunned around here? I program in assembly (not for PCs), do I get an "overrated" now?
