    No it is not.

    It has some 'intergrate with java' thing (which I still don't know what it does) which is not required, but it is not written in java (go check the source if you don't believe me).
    Some random code from http://framework.openoffice.org/source/browse/fram ework/desktop/source/so_comp/evaluation.cxx?rev=1. 1.2.1&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

    Orange (or MS, not too sure) has made it so only software which has been signed my MS ($600 per app) can run on this so-called SmartPhone (OT: hold on, don't Erricsons have a 'SmartPhone' running EPOC?).

  23. Re:JNI is your friend on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'd keep it 99% pure java (only using JNI to do plateform inderpended nicetys, like a task bar icon, or registry access) then compile the hole bloody thing to native.

    While the VM thing of java is very nice but Java is also a language with not only a very clear standard syntax, but also a very good (if maybe a little bloated) standard API set.

    You don't have to worry about having multiply langauges (which is a bitch to support) or the system slowing down due to a VM.

  24. Java Then Compile To Native? on Competitive Cross-Platform Development? · · Score: 1

    If speed of execution in Java is the problem, compile it to native, it still will not be as fast as well written C (overhead such as the GC and OO).

  25. Re:Will someone please explain to a Windows nerd.. on Red Hat Nullifies Differences Between Bash, Csh · · Score: 1

    Diffrent command.com/cmd.exe for UNIXes, csh takes its syntax from C (ish).
    sh does not.
    ash, bash and ksh are extentions to sh, adding stuff like history, line editing (think doskeys, but better), better variable manuplation (than sh) and tab competion.
    tcsh is an extention to csh anding stuff like history, line editing (think doskeys, but better) and tab competion.

    You can use bash & tcsh in Windows (imo they are much better then cmd.exe) from http://cygwin.com

    If you don't use 'em, no need to care about them, if you did, and this was real then you would have One More Shell to have to type 'bash' at ;)
