Java's New G1 Collector Not For-Pay After All

Posted by kdawson on from the trial-balloon-popped dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As a follow-up to our previous discussion, Sun appears to have quietly edited the Java 6u14 release notes language to say now: 'G1 is available as early access in this release, please try it and give us feedback. Usage in production settings without a Java SE for Business support contract is not recommended.' So does this mean it was all one huge typo? Or was Oracle/Sun tentatively testing the waters to see the community's reaction? In either case it's nice to see Java's back on the right path."

    I want to mod that post "+1 funny because it's so -1 insane."

    When will Taco finally implement complex-number mods???

    He can't do that. The stoneage primitive niggers won't understand this complex-number mod concept cuz they didn't even invent the wheel on their own, remember?. The dune coons will think it's an insult to Allah because to them everything is an insult to Allah and will retaliate by raising the price of oil. And, Taco might implement that in Javascript and it has the word Java in it, so it must be slow.
