is faster to load than ODF, and has smaller file size than ODF That's because what they don't implement in the file format has to be implemented in code. Indeed:
lineWrapLikeWord6 means that's all you have to specify in the document, but then you have more, specific code *in the application* to handle just that. And they they aren't even going to tell you *how to write that code*. They just say "go load up word 1.0 and figure it out for yourself."
Some people just can't think past what's in front of their eyes.
While I agree with your php + mysql assertion on a small scale (mom and pop shops, maybe a bit larger), any serious app is going to need a robust language that aids maintainability. I do stuff in php + postgresql for my smaller, less sophisticated projects, but jump to J2EE for anything that is a bit more serious. Yes, I'm being subjective, but I think it's a subjective assertion no matter how you look at it;-) I think php sucks for robust, maintainable, large apps.
Sure, it's not hard to download and install a JRE/JDK, but now, with it being in the distro, all those OS java apps can be redistributed with the distribution making OS java apps much more appealing. Seems like a huge win for Java on Linux.
Have you tried Eclipse? It blows the doors off of anything MS has done IMO and I've used Visual Studio for years. In general, you may have a point, but you just proved that blanket statements are moronic.
Right! This is more of that great M$ innovation! Bringing new products that no one has ever heard of before to consumers! I applaud their originality on this one!
Unfortunately (depending on your point of view), SQLite doesn't have java bindings (that I know of). If someone does know of java bindings for SQLite, I'd be interested!
Yes, I believe you're right about it being used primarily in the WebSphere app server. I *think* it's there because the J2EE spec requires that you have a 100% pure java database for use with the product (not a J2EE expert, but I thought that's what I heard from IBM developers).
Most people use DB2 in conjunction with WebSphere, but Cloudscape is apparently a very usable part of WebSphere if you're so inclinded.
I've been using TeamSpeak http://www.teamspeak.org/ and, though it is a bit of a different beast from Skype (no POTS, no IM, etc.), it works brilliantly as a simple VoIP communications mechanism.

According to this, if you want to get involved in JavaFX/Mobile, you should join OpenJFX and wait apparently:

"Join the Java community so you can participate in forums and discussions regarding the future direction of the JavaFX Mobile software system:"
Hard to tell for sure, but seems like it will be open at some point.

Yes, until a someone diagnoses you :-P

I guess if you're only doing client-side work, that might work, but try using AJAX and DHTML to write the backends which feed that front-end :-P

What I really want to know is, can multiple people play Sudoku using it?!
Developer tools are laughable in Open Source

so what's the release name, TEL.NET?
(old joke, felt the need to revive it!)

I don't see where it says that. I searched for world and call and didn't find any references that support what you're saying. Anyone else see it?
