    If they're really ugly, it might take longer than that. No one said that they had to be 72 hot virgins.

    You get 72, but you are not allowed to fuck them; otherwise they wouldn't be virgins anymore, would they?

    Yeah, that is bizarre.

  7. Re:He's there for PHP on Open Source Guy Takes the Hardest Job At Microsoft · · Score: 3, Funny

    According to TFA, 'Rabellino's main focus right now "is to enable PHP to shine on our platforms."'

    So, he's there to get people to migrate from LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySql, PHP) systems to WIMP (Windows, IIS, MS-SQL, PHP) systems.

    I think I will stick with TRAP (Tomcat, RESTful, Apache, Postgres) application stack..

  8. Hatch Act? on Army Psy Ops Units Targeted American Senators · · Score: 1

    Did we not read the linked Wiki page? Applicability to U.S. military personnel.

    However there is an order basically stating the same thing. I don't know if this means the military can cheat their own order, though.

  9. Re:Pretty Obvious. on Feds Settle Case of Woman Fired Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    Most (all?) people in senior positions at large companies are under a contract and not a standard employee. In these cases the contract will say something to the legal effect of, "Don't embarrass the company." Publicly railing against your superior, or getting yourself arrested for something can fall under that category.

    This takes it a step further. This can allow you to have different plugins using different libraries inside the same webapp/ear.

  12. Re:Yeah, libraries and imports - Java's strength. on Book Review: OSGi and Apache Felix 3.0 · · Score: 2

    Except this is exactly what OSGi is designed to work around. Each plugin runs in its own classloader, in effect sandboxing each one. One plugin can work on library, while the other works on library2.

    Now if you need one piece of java code that depends on 2 versions of a library. Yep you are screwed. However I have never had a case of

    As far as api vendors breaking library compatibility without notifying anyone. Yes this sucks, and yes this exists in every language I have ever worked in. If you are lucky the classes wont compile so you know what is comming.

  13. Re:There are so many CMSs, frameworks on Book Review: OSGi and Apache Felix 3.0 · · Score: 1

    I agree. But what is the alternative? To use only off-the-shelf or hosted CMS and issue tracking applications with no ability to customize at all? I suppose the opposite end of the spectrum is to roll your own system yourself. Either way the answer is "it depends...".

    Disclaimer: I have written plugins for Atlassian's Jira using their original home-grown plugin framework and the new OSGi "Plugin 2" framework. Both can be headaches, and both are way easier than writing my own Issue Management system.

    However I love that link to cmsmatrix. It quick accurately shows how absurd the area is.

  17. Re:When you're downloading MP3s... on Senator Wyden Asks DHS To Explain Domain Seizures · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The best part is from TFA. From Wyden's Letter:

    In an affidavit written by Special Agent Andrew Reynolds, he uses his ability to download four specific songs on the domain name dajaz1.com as justification for seizure of this domain name. According to press accounts, the songs in question were legally provided to the operator of the domain name for the purpose of distribution.

    So it doesn't even matter if the distribution is legal or not anymore.

    Of course not. Legally shared songs are an even bigger threat to the RIAA than pirated ones.

  18. Re:Proposed? on Prison Cell Phone Smuggling Out of Control · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wait... does this mean that it's not illegal to smuggle certain things into prisons?

    They can't keep cell phones and other items too, like drugs out of prisons. Out of PRISONS. Yet we really think we can have a War on (some) Drugs applied to the general population. Idiocy. Unlike a cell phone, drugs have a flexible shape, don't broadcast electromagnetic radiation, and don't have an attached account with somebody's name on it.

    Prisons are designed to keep people in, not keep stuff out.
