  1. 99% for me..... on Java Performance Tuning, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 1

    Sounds like this guys really done his homework, but if timing is that critical ask if java should be your first choice.

    I primarily use java, both for work and home projects, and I have to say that I have almost no performance issues with java. I think that the way CPU speed has increased (and will probably continue to do so) that bytecode interpreted languages now have less of a performance gap againts native compiled code.

  2. Re:Deskjet? on Are Printers What They Used To Be? · · Score: 1

    I'd have to agree, Deskjets of yesteryear (imho) weren't that good. From the couple I've seen lately, the newer ones are slightly better.

    Xerox: I had a Docuprint C8 which died a death because I couldn't get rid of some vertical banding, so I gave them another try and got a M750. I haven't had a day of trouble from it since, and the ink seems to last a long time (seperate CYMK cartridges too!).

  3. Re:my problem on Congress Asks Universities To Enforce Copyrights · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How abuo

    Just write a quick reply to them stating that something like.

    Dear xxx,

    We would be happy to process your request for case #xxxxxx .

    However, due to the recent number of erroneous claims by various organisations you will need to provide us with the IP address that you used to determine this illegal fileshare. As soon as we confirm from our traffic logs a transfer of illegal material from that address to your address we will deactive the account of that student.

    You prompt response is requested.

    Network admin xxxxxxx

    If we all do this and share out the IP's we get back, we can soon find out where these people are operating from and block there IP's at our firewall.

  4. Wow, simultaneous worldwide release. on Nethack 3.4.1 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Infogrames (UK) could learn a thing or two from these people.

    They had a simultaneous world release for Master of Orion 3, er, except for the UK, which gets it 10 days later.

  5. Java web start? on Microsoft Applies For .NET Patent · · Score: 1

    Admittedly, IANAL, but this patent seems to cover stuff that Java webstart already does. Prior art?
