Two Takes on the Java Dilemma

Posted by Hemos on from the let-my-sandbox-go dept.

Joe Barr writes "NewsForge is running a pair of excellent commentaries on the plight of Java and the Java development community following the recent "settlement" between longtime rivals Sun and Microsoft. One is by Rick Ross, the articulate leader of JavaLobby, entitled "Where is Java in the settlement?" The second is "Free but shackled: The Java trap" by Richard Stallman. Good reading. Both commentators put their finger on the heart of the problem, albeit from different perspectives." Yes, Newsforge and Slashdot are both owned by OSDN.

    "American foreign policy controlled by an arrogant elite, bent on projecting military power around the globe."

    Applying Nader's ideas to WW2, I guess we should have left little old Hitler and Tojo alone. They didn't have WMD's either, so they were nice guys just like Saddam.

    Ahhh, political ass-holes. Unable to allow others to have discussions about unrelated topics without jamming their personal friggin' political opinions in. Get a damn life.
