    What a lot of work, I'll just stick with Windows.

    However, I do see this as a good way of getting rid of some of those damn holier-than-thou vegetarians

    when that day comes, maybe i'll do this.

    Oil will become too expensive for use in automobiles.

    ...what about synthetics? but obviously if oil is too expensive to put in cars, gasoline will be out of the question too...

    amen, been listening to shins all the time lately...

  10. to shuffle or not to shuffle... on The Joy of Random Shuffle · · Score: 1

    here's my take:

    i believe in the concept of an "album" - a set of musical pieces related in some way. in record production, thought is (should?) placed in ordering the tracks. the album as a whole, as opposed to the songs and individual pieces.

    the whole is greater than the sum of its parts is applicable here.

    so, i don't shuffle albums.

    sometimes a mix of songs by many different artists is nice, and that's where shuffle belongs - like a radio station.

  21. Re:Java is doomed, doomed I say! on Two Takes on the Java Dilemma · · Score: 2, Funny

    So: Sun will slow down and finally stop development of Java. IBM will either try to roll-out its own compatible platform or propose a migration to something else. ...and other non-Sun implementations of Java will see more development to fill the gap.

    java will not die.

    whether it should or not is another discussion... :)
