Why is anything on the frontpage? Why does Slashdot need a news section? As you point out, anything can be found using Google or whatever. And there are plenty of dicussion forums if you want them.
Do you run Linux, BSD or any othe UNIX clone? chances are that you are using the ls, grep, mv, cp, cd, find, etc versions from the GNU project.
And if there had been no GNU project you'd be using version from some other project, like you do when you run the Apache web server instead of the one GNU never made. Why did GNU call their command-line apps the same as their Unix equivalents? Because they built on something existing, which deserves as much credit as GNU.
It's almost as if you're saying that if it wasn't for Microsoft Word we'd still be using typewriters.
The authenticity of this memo has been well established and never denied by Sun.
Yes, and it has also been pointed out that its authors generally write C or C++ code, and not Java. Did you really expect every employee of Sun to be all giddy about the blessings of Java? People can be set in their ways - I assume some Perl heads secretly hate the success of PHP as well.
The very site you are using would never have been possible in Java, because it never would have scaled to its present usage on the handful of low-end servers it is based on.
90% of Norway's online newspapers seem to think that Java scales well enough. Just because you know some fools who failed to write good apps after reading "Learing Java in 21 Days" doesn't mean others cannot.
In fact, since Java runs in native code 99% of the time it would probably run faster: Perl is good at string manipulation, not pushing data.
You seem to be a very defensive Perl zealot - does it really hurt so much that Java is successful?
CDE, their own desktop environment
The UNIX industry's you mean? Or do you consider it Sun's also when IBM and HP use it?
Also David Brin's Stardiver, except mostly as "sideshow". (They enter the Sun to look for a possible "uplifter" of humans, because the aliens are keen to disprove that humans are the only species not uplifted by another.)
I don't have kids, but I wouldn't want my kids searching for Matrix Reloaded and getting porn instead.
For your next assignment, explain why it's better for children to watch people beating each other up (Matrix Reloaded) than to watch adults having sex.
Now, could someone actually tell me what is in the trailer? I am on cable and I can't get it.)
Roughly the same scenes as in the "teaser" after the credits in Matrix Reloaded, plus a couple more. Seems like the Mr. Smith "virus" is really bad for the Matrix.:)
You have apparently not tasted any bottles that said "brewed by Samuel Adams Breweries" or something like that. Sam Adams is the king of beers over there IMHO.
(Or you could try one of the many brewery-pubs, I personally liked the products of Steelhead at Fisherman's Wharm, San Francisco.)
The problem is that LucasArts are still making re-releases. Just recently a box appeared in local stores here with Sam & Max, The Dig, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango in it...
Perhaps the people running the child brothels aren't the people raising children well? You know, as in "not the same people even though they share a nationality"?

Sheesh.

Much like vi, really.
That settles it, you're just a loony.

Fortran (F#)
Did you read the link you posted? The F isn't Fortran, but Functional - it's an ML/CAML implementation that doesn't even support all of CLS.
B: didn't force you to buy the adapter for the headphones.
GBA yes, GBA SP no: For the SP you need an adapter. But you can get cheaper adapter from Thrustmaster if you want.
But IIRC, he bought DOS from Digital Research.
No, he bought QDOS from Seattle Computer or somethig. This was a cheap knock-off of Digital Research's CP/M.

~10 hours of battery life per cell
No, ~10 hours of power per cell charge. Why do you think the cell isn't refillable?
Can someone find out which criminals have tricked the RIAA into trying to overload the legal system?
20$ an hour to run my laptop?
No.
The Trillian Pro 2.0 beta 3 does not trigger that warning from MSN - at least not for me.
Actually, http://members.msn.com works well in Opera (7.11 for Windows at least) once you set it to identify as MSIE 6.0 :/
Now, could someone actually tell me what is in the trailer? I am on cable and I can't get it.)
:)

I, too, have all three consoles:
:P
Dreamcast, PS2 and Gamecube.
I don't have the strangely packaged PC.
(Of course, calling the XBox a PC is like calling the PS2 a SGI workstation. Nevermind.)
Enough said.

Then there's the Sam 'n' Max / Day of the Tentacle pack
:)
Couldn't get it to run on Windows XP, but perhaps I can just use SCUMMVM on the installed datafiles...
The problem is that LucasArts are still making re-releases. Just recently a box appeared in local stores here with Sam & Max, The Dig, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango in it...
I really find it amusing that they are targeting Rap/hip-hop/r&b more so than anything else.
:)
Mee too, but for a different reason: Rap and Hip-hop uses lots of sampling of other people's music - now isn't that, too, a violation of the DMCA?
Well you could always play the game instead - he's there.
drop AIX and buy Solaris
Well that would require a Solaris for RS6xxx or PowerPC platform wouldn't it?
Unless they somehow manage to cover the new Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 APIs. True, only the Tomcat 5.0 beta support them yet, but still...
Perhaps the people running the child brothels aren't the people raising children well? You know, as in "not the same people even though they share a nationality"?
The controversial Java extensions ... otherwise known as "breach of contract".
And history is irrelevant to the current state.
