My personal favorite is the jail() call that creates a virtual server within your Unix box. It locks stuff down so tightly that even root doesn't have special privileges inside a jail(). Processes in the jail can only see other processes inside the same jail(), and can only bind to the IP address allowed for that jail(), and can only see the disk allowed for that jail(). Unlike chroot you cannot break out of a jail() if you are root. That's just my personal favorite. Lots more cool stuff in there.
That with all that money, geeks are discovering the sordid world of prostitution, strip bars, and massage parlours. We all know that if you have enough money, you can get that girlfriend experience you were denied in highschool. I would guess this is a major market--I hope one of these sex operations goes public so I can invest in it, since it's gotta be the fastest growing industry in silicon valley.
I nominate ArseAwards as the Award of the Year. I would also like to nominate Time Magazine as having being the best "best of the millenium" of the millenium.
However I think the ArseAwards got one thing wrong: the controversy of the year should be whether or not anybody cares what someone else thinks was the best of the year.
Why all this corporate news on/.? Do geeks really care who the CTO of Red Hat is? Is this news nearly as important as what's going on with the technology? Maybe all the business stories should be tagged separately, so that we can hear about the cool new technology Red Hat may have developed, and ignore the boring business news.
Hey wait... I think I figured it out: Since Red Hat went public and gave shares to all the geeks, the/. people probably received a couple of shares, and now they really care!
Some Microsoft divisions do good work. It's the marketting department that screws everybody over, I think--and the business end. Maybe the solution is to force the marketting people to be their own division, and let them set up an agency or something. Then split the rest of the company into OS and non-OS.

Hey speek, I think that's what WebMacro does. You replace all those println() statements with a WebMacro template. Then your Java looks like this:
Customer cust = new Customer();// whatever context.put("cust", cust); Template t = getTemplate("whatever.wm"); t.execute(out, context);
And then in your template you write things like
Hello $cust.Name you owe us $cust.Owes and your phone number is $cust.Phone
Or whatever.

I use WebMacro and it's great. There are a lot of newer features in the developer snapshot, and I think that the snapshot is pretty stable now too. There are some more recent snapshots out (like last week). The last release is pretty reliable, but it is missing some important things that have been put into the snapshot. I think they are holding off releasing the snapshot as a release because there is a lot of new code in there.

This is just millenium fever, it isn't news.

Well I didn't get any shares, I don't care.
