First there was the guitar or maybe the ukelele, so many vowels - so few strings. Actually in some places there was also the banjo. OK, so first there were instruments and you'd strum a little song and be all up-ons with the ladies.
This was superseded by the record player. Not so good - how to get the ladies to visit, doesn't work by the campfire without a long extension lead. Then the jukebox - brilliant, put the record player where the ladies is.
Then the Walkman, no ladies, the smaller Walkman, still no ladies, CD Walkman, ladies? Creative portable hard-drive thingo, ditto, iPod, iPods with progressively larger drives, mini iPod because, as the ladies say, size isn't important, and finally the iPod Photo with the tunes and the pictures, of the ladies, from the Internet.

Squeak is an open, highly-portable Smalltalk-80 implementation whose virtual machine is written entirely in Smalltalk, making it easy to debug, analyze, and change.
When you start the Squeak VM you specify a binary image file to load. The default image launches a graphical desktop with a bunch of demo programs and all the tools necessary to start developing.
The desktop can be run in a window in your current desktop but I think the idea is that you'd run it full screen in place of any other desktop.
I believe it can be run headless too.
Does corquet(sic.) need to be a little more independant? Croquet is written in Smalltalk in the Squeak environment and requires the Squeak VM to run much as code written in Java requires the JVM runtime.
The thing that really puts me off Croquet is Squeak and the thing that puts me off Squeak is the license.
I didn't call you nor the original poster an ignorant American, I simply suggested the original poster was probably American.
I've encountered numerous Americans who use 'what if' as if it were a noun in place of the word hypothetical which conveys the same meaning and actually is a noun.
As for the superfluity of quotation marks, there were numerous quotation marks used in the post. They added no meaning, I have no idea why they were there, they were superfluous.
Dick jokes are considered the very height of sophitication where I live. Cock gobbler.
You are, of course, completely correct regarding Java. XAML too I suspect, though Microsoft have submitted large parts of the.NET spec, including the C# language, to ECMA so it's not inconceivable that XAML might also become a recognised standard unencumbered by patent, commercial license, etc.
I think you're wrong about XUL.
XUL is an XML language based on W3C standard XML 1.0. Applications written in XUL are based on additional W3C standard technologies featuring HTML 4.0; Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) 1 and 2; Document Object Model (DOM) Levels 1 and 2; JavaScript 1.5, including ECMA-262 Edition 3 (ECMAscript); XML 1.0.
mozilla.org is going a step further by seeking W3C standardization for the eXtensible Binding Language (XBL) (see "Supporting Technologies", below).

And Greedo did not shoot first. He didn't even make disparaging remarks about Han's mother. He was just all green and tentacley and 'Jabba wants you as his new wife' and such so Han shot him. Fair call too.
Since the Internet is 90% naked girls, 9% girls in swimsuits and 1% all-the-other-stuff and at least a few of those girls are called Helena I'd reckon it's inevitable that your home town is going to get lost in the noise.
You could try searching for 'Helena, Montana'. Or you could move. The possibilities are endless.
class Hooray {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Hashtable h = new Hashtable();
String s = new String("This is a string.");
h.put("fred", s);
Integer i = (Integer)h.get("fred");
} }
The compiler doesn't pick this up, it is clearly going to throw a class cast exception and it fairly clearly indicates (I hope) why Java's much hyped static typing is no substitute for just learning to write decent code.
Easy, pretty much every package for YDL is at least one major version out of date.
I dual boot YDL and Debian on my iBook. YDL was much easier to install and configure but I've pretty much got Debian sorted now (sleep, power-saving, video acceleration, Airport, etc.) and the Debian packages are much fresher so I don't really use YDL anymore.
I hear you are running a profitable publicly listed company with about 4.5 billion dollars cash in the bank and a bunch of happy shareholders.
Well done, keep up the good work.
p.s. could you do something about the prices dude because I was just looking at a price list from my local PC shop and I could get two really well specced, scorchingly fast AMD based systems with all the bells and whistles for the same price as an entry level eMac and I'm getting pretty comfortable with the likes of Gnome and KDE so running GNU/Linux on one of those puppies wouldn't be such a hardship that it'd put me off turning my back on OS X. And can I have an iPod for Christmas?
There's this guy I see sometimes picking through garbage in the alley behind my house. He wears the same clothes everyday and he has prison tatoos on his hands. That guy probably doesn't know a Macintosh owner either, but I think I make up for it by knowing more than ten people with Macs. Maybe you are that guy. Get away from my house. I've called the police, you know.
so what's the point of making it x86 PC compatible?
Shit load of existing dev tools, a choice of operating systems, a lot of games will already work on it, homebrew development would be a piece of piss, it has built in wireless so if I install Linux or Cygwin/Mingw under Windows then I've got an awesome wardriving tool. How to type without a keyboard? Ummmm. OK, so I'll learn Morse code and write a custom keyboard driver and then.....
Arguably a GB Advance is a better gaming platform but shit I'd like one of these if the price is right and they fix the stupid case design so that you can fold it up and put it in your pocket.

Have a look at sections 5 and 6 in particular.

Perhaps you are a cock gobbler?
A superfluity of quotes and the use of "What if" in place of the more obvious "hypothetical", perhaps you are American.

Who won the war eh? Not Germany. And that's why we live in America, not Amerika.
So we shouldn't have to put up with all this smelly sausage eating krap.

Disconnect it from the network, remove all drives, smash it with an axe and then, for good measure, install GNU/Linux.
My apologies if this seems unhelpful. It's very early and I haven't had my coffee yet.
