  1. Re:Try Visaj on Java IDEs? · · Score: 1

    Whereas I hate blatent advertising on these boards, I have to agree with Micro guy there.

    I've used it on a couple of my projects and it did actually save me time. We're currently implementing a whole new Swing frontend for our system, and the gridbag editor thing works a treat. Theres also a boxlayout editor, and it's the only thing that's made me even think about attempting to use Box.

    Management love it because we run visaj on *nix and Winblowz, and they don't have to buy a cray to run it.

    Ah my 2cents worth.

  2. Re:Proof positive of the benefits of Open Source on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    Uh-huh - but I thought the point of unix/linux was that if a rogue application did go haywire - it wouldn't take the rest of the system down with it?

  3. Leaking File Descriptors on RH7 Crashes In Three Weeks (But Fixed) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't there have been a beta release, and this problem would've shown up there?

    Anyway, from a programmer's point of view, was the work done by an intern? Is there much difference between a leaked file descriptor and some leaked memory?

  4. Re:well... on High-Speed Greed · · Score: 1

    They're doing it - because they can.

    Can BT or AT&T monitor your phone call and find out that you're ordering something? No.

    Can BT or AT&T scan your packets, see which host you're talking to, and maybe even detect if you've "1-Click"'d at Amazon? Yes.

    It's disgusting. If only there was a competitor....

  5. Lack Of Demand == Financially Unviable ? on Red Hat Abandons Sparc · · Score: 1

    Is it just I that remembers RedHat as a small company distributing Linux. Before they went public, before they partnered with a number of large companies, before they were worth many millions of dollars...

    ...they are unable to continue supporting Sparc?
