  1. java.util.zip.OutputStream on Internet Enabled... Toilet Paper Dispenser · · Score: 1

    java.util.zip.OutputStream

    A new, immediate use for Java

  2. Re:Say what you want... on Debunking Linux-Windows Market Share Myths · · Score: 1

    Or get the pref toolbar and change your user-agent with a graphical widget in your chrome, as well as toggle popups, javascript, cookies, and lots of other goodies.

  3. Re:Seems like a silly move... on Yahoo Moving to PHP · · Score: 1

    Since about April of this year, Ebay has been running on IBM's Websphere. (Google Search to find the related press releases.) Of course, this does not mean Yahoo made a bad choice going with PHP, which I love, just that it is possible to make speedy sites using J2EE.

  4. Official Word from Bungie on PSX2... on Bungie Software Bought By Microsoft · · Score: 2

    On bungie's Microsoft Acquisition FAQ, the claim to have the freedom to choose what platforms they develop titles for, except:

    Does this freedom to choose the platforms you will develop for mean we can expect Bungie titles on (for example) PlayStation2, Dreamcast, or Dolphin?

    No more than you can expect to see Final Fantasy X on the Dreamcast or Sonic the Hedgehog on the PS2.

  5. Big Blue? on Rock-Paper-Scissors · · Score: 1

    Sure, a computer can beat Kasparov in Chess, but where is the Big Blue that can master the intricacies of RoShamBo against a human?

    I know, I know...somebody is building a Beowulf cluster somewhere for this...

  6. Re:#11 is incorrect...maybe on Linux in the Enterprise: Fact vs. FUD · · Score: 1

    This page on Microsoft's site says, in part...

    When you install Windows 2000, existing NTFS volumes are upgraded to a newer version of the NTFS file system. This newer version of the NTFS file system includes capabilities such as disk quotas, encrypted files, journaling, and a number of other features that Windows 2000 components rely on to function correctly.

    I cannot claim to much knowledge on the issue, but, if the Win2k version *adds* a journaling, that strongly suggests the current version (NT4), against which Linux was compared, does *not* have this feature.

  9. Caffiene and Nutrasweet on Caffeine Good For Long-Term Memory · · Score: 2

    If caffiene can aid long-term memory, and nutrasweet can inhibit short-term memory, where does that leave Diet Coke?

    Am I doomed to remember every School House Rock song, but never know what I had for breakfast this morning?
