GTK+ bindings for Java are already in the works. I can't remember where I came across it but I think it was some guy in france that was doing it. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
What is it other than bug fixes and a few "features" added on top of it, like IE5.0 and "better usb support," which screams big fix. And yes you can upgrade it. Just replace the appropriate dll's, reg-keys, etc. and your laughing. It's how they upgrade windows with office and visual studio releases. I've fought with it more than once.

I disagree. I think it would make alot of people think twice. For things like date or gang rape I think alot of people would think twice about it. If if even saves one person from rape then it's worth it. Or, since it's the general consensus that rape is worse than murder who not just make it punishable by capital punishment? That takes care of the CONTROL argument. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
Who knows. I figure it's worth a shot though. If all I have to do is point people to a web site to make money then why not. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
But castration is powerful deterrant. Don't you think if that was the punishment for convicted rape that the amount of rapes would drop? ******************************************* * Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
The only fitting punishment for rape is to cut it off. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
This is a very subtle article of MS FUD. For instance. They embrace linux as little, agree with almost what everyone else has said about linux. Stable, good for a server, not so hot for a desktop. They they relegate it to the domain of "Geek Love." They are basically telling people yes it's good, BUT it's only for hackers, geeks and enthusiasts. Of course they don't come right out and say that but it's the underlying theme. It jsut spreads very subtle FUD. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu

Read the article. It says they used IBM's BD2 not Miscrosofts database software. This challenge was about ORACLE vs Microsoft not ORACLE vs IBM. Also, IBM used a 32 node cluster of their netfinity and db2 servers to accomplish this.
Quote: "32-node configuration used in this benchmark" IT used GigaNet's cLAN DB2 and IBM's serial storage Architecture.
Each Netfinity server has 4 Xeon processors each with 2MB onchip cache. In total that's 128 with 64 megs of on chip cache.
Oracle's machine used only 64 processors.
IBM DIDN'T WIN. ******************************************** Superstition is a word the ignorant use to describe their ignorance. -Sifu
If this is the stuff they are just starting to do the best is yet to come. I wish I could live forever!! Hey, maybe by the time I'm an old fogie I could transfer my brain to another body!!

Other people work on the Linux kernel too

Linus in USAToday

Don't get me wrong. I think it's great that Linus is getting alot of press. He's done ALOT and done it well. He also bears a heavy burden/responsibility to alot of people now. However, I think it would be nice for some of these articles to mention the other people that work steadyfastly on the Linux kernel, like Allan Cox for one. It takes alot of people to pull off a project like Linux. It's a TEAM effort.
I think style is nice to have, but only REALLY important when your talking about computer users that are in the lowest common denominator. People who want/need to do serious work on their computer eg. developers care about what their computer can do, not about how attractive it looks. (Unless of course you horny as hell;) ).
ps. If you want to flame me on this at least post something intelligent.

Anyone notice the Linux icon on the reffered to web sites front page?
I can just hear it now:
Melissa virus propogated by malicious Linux hackers.
Something I would't put past those idiots over at Zdnet.

Hmm. I can relate. Companies don't care about
their employees anymore. We're expendable. Anyone
who has been through a re-org knows this.
