The why is called "the good book", smarty-pants. And if it's a collection of 60 independent books, I should be able to find all of those books independently, in a form that predates the thousands of years and editing, translation, transcription, politicizing, and anthologizing that produced the bible we have today. You know, like the one called "good news" you have on your bookshelf.
I installed mythtv on FC4 test 2 - never did myth before, so can't give you a comparison. Most dependencies were handled via yum and atrpms or livna. A couple things I build, including mythtv. Had to track down a few compiler errors with gcc-4.0 - pretty straightforward. This is with the head of mythtv cvs - watching the dev mailing list, those things are getting fixed.
My apologies, clearly you and the poster are correct. However, in my defense, the OP was responding to a claim about Java and C# and an implementation language for an OS. That original claim stuck in my head for the entire conversation. It seems that he and you are claiming the similarities between java and smalltalk/lisp, for example, are strong enough that the demostrated art in the latter is evidence for the claim wrt the former.
Certainly the fact that the equivalent of a context switch can be much lighter weight in a virtual machine than it can in your typical C OS implementation is important for some classes of applications.
Whoops, int pid =::getpid (). That's what you get for free. For $9.95, you can have the infinitely faster version. For $29.95, you canhave the version that's slight faster yet. For $1M, I'll come over to your house and tell you the process id whenever you need to know it.
You're comparing apples and tangerines - either you need to make the system call 1 million times or you don't - the fact that java guesses for you for this particular function that you don't need to make the call every time is a fluke. Using it as an example is disingenous. For other system calls that can't be cached, java and C will have similar performace; i.e., slow - and the java will be marginally slower because that's just the way it is. Here, I'll give you some free code such that C++ will exceed the performane of java for your stupid example:
namespace idiot { int getpid () { static int pid = getpid (); return pid; } }
Beware of endorsements from people who say "I've never looked back." There is no surer sign of fanatical devotion to a particular technology than that phrase. You will usually find "I've never looked back" after an anecdote justifying said fanatics use of the technology and especially their decisions to purchase fringe technology for relatively high prices. Ironically, "I've never looked back" is offered to endorse the fanatics chosen poster gadget, yet the phrase, if evaluated honestly, clearly says more about the purchasers fanaticism than it does the quality of the gadget. Indeed, the rational consumer always looks back and re-evaluates purchases, technological trends, long-term quality and alternatives that have come on to the scene; the fanatic, on the other hand, clings to his decions against all evidence and data. Please, if you see or hear "I've never looked back", run away from the source as fast as you can, and do not look back. Thank You.
If you had read the article, you would have noticed that many of his complaints were about range of quality and problems that come with intel hardware.
Aside from the clear-to-everyone-except-you US bias of this discussion board, the US leads the rest of the world in the adoption of draconian intellectual property laws. The USSC does matter to this discussion and even to you. Get over yourself already.

Maybe the pun is that "redneck" could also be a derogatory word for an American Indian. Backwoods Indian indians described as rednecks? A stretch, sure, it's more likely that the GP doesn't konw what a pun is.

You don't know what you are talking about.
While I love to hear a good guitarist, there is more to music than guitar virtuosity.
Can I quote you?

Congratulations on the first SlashBorg post!!!
Subject says it all.
I thought the ultimate irony was "Raiiiaiin on your Wedding Day." Boy have I been misinformed.

Am I sufficiently with it now?
I was unaware that your typical jvm could run more than one unrelated process.

No offense intended, mister serious. I noticed that odd turn of phrase and was going for funny. Failed, I guess.

What do you mean "confirm I'm not a script?"
