This is one of the stupidest posts I've ever read on Slashdot.
Of the advantages Windows has over the Linux desktop, software management is probably the furthest thing out there.
Linux software management with apt and yum simply ROCKS. When Windows runs into dependency issues, you're screwed. You get some vague error and code and almost every application has some kind of custom installer that you have to deal with.
Not the case on the Linux desktop.
Your last statement is even more stupid, for obvious reasons.
Given that, and the idea that languages implemented using Gcc should be compatible where it makes sense, it follows that the Java calling convention should be as similar as practical to that used for other languages, especially C++, since we can think of Java as a subset of C++.

So my friend, what do you call it when you fail to abide by "Civil NotReallyLaw?"
Illnotreallyegal?
You can violate civil OR criminal law, of which both violations would be considered "illegal."
This wouldn't happen to be THE Ulrich DrPepper of the legendary DrPepper clan, would it?
Well then, why aren't you complaining to your mom, dad, aunt and uncle, instead of bitching at us on Slashdot.

The license agreement may not even be legal.
Well, to be fair, the Open Source community has produced Ubuntu 9.04, which is probably one of the best operating systems ever made.
I don't know if I'd call that fumbling exactly.
Yeah, but that's only after Anonymous Coward changed his original vision, in the original version tops shot first.
Silenced, except for a very small percent of the population, which had the opposite effect.
I don't get it, are you a bat?
Good point, coordinate systems and the modes available to move through them are entirely relative to your current position.
Actually, Microsoft DID design and build much of the Xbox 360's hardware.
This decision is what many people are saying is the cause of all the failures.
Microsoft can barely handle software, I don't know what made them think they could do hardware.
Let me fix that for you:
Companies like Foxconn and ASUS build Apple's hardware to Apple's specifications, as they do for Dell and just like they used to do for Packard Bell.
I can see it now:
Apple Strategic Planning Meeting
Steve Jobs: "So, from this point on, we'll build our own iProcessors, "
Edward Applebee: "But sir, then our macs won't be able to run windows!"
Steve Jobs: "Hey... you next to Edward, I want you to go over and hit that fucker in the face, really fucking hard!"
You are completely mistaken.
Companies like Foxconn and ASUS build Apple's hardware.
That's good point.
Someone should fix the official GCJ FAQ:
Given that, and the idea that languages implemented using Gcc should be compatible where it makes sense, it follows that the Java calling convention should be as similar as practical to that used for other languages, especially C++, since we can think of Java as a subset of C++.
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/faq.html
Those nutty GCC developers, always putting up misinformation about the compilers they develop before consulting Slashdot.
yep and one less thing to get owned when your Vista powered PC gets hijacked by some type of malware.
Really? Whats GCJ all about then?
They basically treat Java as a superset of C++, in the same way C++ is treated as a superset of C.
The Mono people also say you can run .NET applications on Mono.
Unfortunately, Wine has better application compatibility.
I don't believe Non Compete agreements are valid in California.
I believe he's been a mac panzy for years running.
Settle the fuck down there, small fry.

Maybe. Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
i for one and one for all!
The man has done it again!
No, it foretells the coming of the one true operating system / text editor:
VIMACS!
All hail!
