  1. Starbucks Card == Free WiFi on Geek Travel To London From the US — Tips? · · Score: 1

    Starbucks Coffee Card!!! I was just recently there (November 2009) and got a Card from Starbucks. It's a debit like card, so I put 5 pounds on it and said can I have a coffee off the card. I used it later too until it had a zero balance.

    Then you sit down with your coffee, scratch the info off the back of the card, and proceed to create an account online. Remember that this is Starbucks UK not US so enter the UK for your place of residence.

    For the rest of the week, I was always on the hunt for a Starbucks to get some WiFi for my iPhone or Mac.

    Get some good sneakers for all the walking you're going to do. And buy some scotch at the duty free on the way back.

  2. Re:J2ME is worthless on Five Years On, Has J2ME's Time Finally Arrived? · · Score: 1

    With IBM's WSDD and J9, debugging on the target (PalmOS, PocketPC, etc) has always been supported.

  3. Personal Java has been replaced with J2ME on Java Specification Request on Community Currencies · · Score: 1

    Personal Java has reached end of life. It would be wise to change the references to J2ME CDC/Foundation to gain any credibility with this JSR.

    J9 is complete cleanroom

  5. Re:How nice of IBM.. on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 1

    Check out www-306.ibm.com/software/wireless/wsdd/ . These class libraries are completely cleanroom, as well as the J9 virtual machine (JIT, AOT, ROMable, etc).

    These pants are now the ultimate power in the Universe. I suggest we use them!

    Kinda like if you think your PC will crash after 49.7 days you should reboot it.

  8. IBM does not like the JCP? (from article) on Red Hat Plans Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    "IBM has a lot of weight and they don't like the JCP". According to an independent review (JavaOne 2003 session 3294), IBM is next to Sun for JCP participants (Sun 166, IBM 104) and 3rd (next only to the 'others' group) of leaders of new JSRs. Seems to me that if Gosling says it's ok, and 'The Schwartz' says it's not, then they themselves have a bit of an identity crisis not IBM.

  9. Re:do not download that source code on Red Hat Plans Open Source Java · · Score: 1

    IBM's J9 VM and assorted class libraries used in WSDD have been implemented in a cleanroom environment. Having seen source to Sun's implementation of the Java class libraries does not mean you cannot 'switch hats' and become a cleanroom developer. There's just a certain bit of process to follow and also you might have to subject your implementation to an independent review (possibly down to the bytecode level). WebSphere Studio Device Developer. Alas, these classes are not open source either...

  11. Re:Java? on QNX Releases Eclipse-based IDE · · Score: 1

    J9 has been available for quite some time. It has served as the Applet Viewer within the Voyager browser and offers custom and J2ME compliant class libraries. See http://www.embedded.oti.com/compat for the J2ME certification matrix.

  15. Re:How about some Bigtalk on Smalltalk Solutions 2001 Trip Report · · Score: 3

    Indeed, VisualAge Smalltalk and VisualAge for Java are both written in Smalltalk. The portability of the OTI implementation allowed VA/Smalltalk and VA/Java to be shipped on Win32, OS/2 (oohhh), and Unix's. The VM was also responsible for running a Tectronic oscilloscope. Just some of the examples of successful ST products.
