"It seems to me that J2EE is totally over engineered and that something like OptimalJ is needed to make J2EE development competitive (developer time wise) with ASP or PHP"
I think that pretty much hits the nail on the head. Frankly I'm sort of surprised people are still using J2EE.
"so perhaps the sim code was simply so big that it resulted in the slow performance?"
What do you mean "big"? The only sort of measurement of code that would be described by "big" is the number of lines of code and that doesn't really have anything to do with speed. I think your ignorance is showing.
" Specifically that Java's genericised collections will have to box all primitive types as full objects, whereas C# does not. This is a big performance plus for C#."
Do you have any references to back that up, or is this just "conventional wisdom"?
I'm not saying it's incorrect, but I'd wait until there are two implementations to compare.
You don't consider it ironic that members of the legislative body (or their staff), many of whom who have voted to pass legislation that would make just this sort of behavior *more* illegal and/or an act of terrorism, will still perform those acts even though they'd throw your ass in jail for years if you did it?
Consider the context of this happening. What sorts of laws have congress passed recently regarding electronic access.

Here kid, here's 5 bucks, go get yourself a real keyboard.
People bitch about a left wing media conspiracy, but it's not left vs right, it's something else entirely. But what, I'm not sure.
Except you can stop halfway through that "scenario" since Joe Geeks job was moved overseas and now he can't buy a house.
Sometimes I'd like the option to moderate

Joking right?
I use Debian on my new emachines m6805 laptop with a mobile athlon64 (running 32bit) and ati 9600 mobility with no problems.
(ACPI even works. well...sort of...as well as acpi under linux works on anything)
I think you have a typo there:
It's the stiff that matters
That was intentional :)
Well we all saw this one coming with once we looked at the opteron.
(Really, it kicks serious bootay)
"Just read a little further into the article. "
pfft. right. Like I'm going to read an article before commenting on it.

Wah ha, ha ha..ohh thats a good one.
Yes, IBM is just patenting this for the public good.
Sure, because they've given so many other patents to the FSF.
btw. First Submission!

Don't worry, you can still consider them the worldly emodiment of evil.
wha??? Any linkage to back this up?
For the k8t800m chipset or ati mobility 9600 on said laptop???
I've got about $1500 and an urge to upgrade.
My guess is that microsoft gave them a great deal and the whole announcement was just a means to gain leverage over microsoft.
Now maybe they can rehire the IBMers who were laid off recently in favor of offshore workers.
I for one welcome our new Indian techie overlords.
(oh and the new Chinese manufacturing overlords too)
It's just you. Bioware is an oasis in the desert that passes for the quality and imagination of the game industry.
It's too expensive
LoTR...meh..Go check out Bubba HoTep
They're not $10, they're $25. My wife uses it quite often to visit her friends on the island.
