  1. Re:Well, fuck it on MTV Movie Awards Webpage Pull a Lone Gunman · · Score: 1

    You're just pretending to be this stupid, right?

  2. What? on Bill Joy's Takes on C# · · Score: 1

    Read a java spec bud. 'Like a cast in Java, declaring code as "unsafe" is equivalent to saying to the VM, "Hey, I know what I'm doing."' Huh? Java downcasts do not compromise the security of the VM.

  3. well you sounds like McVeigh on Feds Undertaking Massive Passenger Profiling Plan · · Score: 1

    You can't spell worth shit, so it makes sense you were flagged as dangerous.

  4. ignorant fool on Build Your Own 10Mbit/sec Optical Data Link · · Score: -1, Troll

    in most English-speaking countries it is metre, not meter.

    Travel a little, see the world, learn a little...

  5. Also.. on Advice for Websites Combating Net.Obscurity? · · Score: 1

    It helps to be able to spell and use English grammar correctly -- in this sense, Slashdot is an exception. There were about 10-15 spelling/usage errors in your question, which lends an air of ignorance and stupidity to your online effort. At any rate, good luck for the future!

  6. Re:"developers only"... on Sharp Ships New PDA Running Linux 2.4 · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Why is it that British types so often can't spell worth a heck?

  7. from a technical standpoint... on Lutris, Close Source, And The Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    this is really not a disaster, since lutris products actually suck a whole lot. Believe me. Ugly, confused, disorganzied, buzzword-driven design. But here's jboss to save the day. Use it if you're doing server-side work in java.

  8. yes but on Want a Sparc Workstation for $995? · · Score: 1

    in the U5s the 256K of L2 cache wasn't on the CPU die, and didn't run at full processor speed.

  9. Quality vs. Marketing on Interview: KDE League Chairman Andreas Pour · · Score: 1

    It seems likely that in terms of market share, GNOME will eventually outrun KDE -- support from Sun and HP and from the (commercial ) eazel venture almost guarantee this. What I find worrying is the fact that GNOME also benefits from a weird form of "open-source marketing" effect. By exploiting a hazy notion of political correctness, the GNOME folks, with strong backing from Red Hat, have cornered the market on GPL authenticity. As a result, thousands of well-intentioned users dutifully run a crappier desktop thinking they're doing the Right Thing. "Real" developers know the truth: KDE2 is more lucidly designed and implemented, and is miles ahead of GNOME, and nothing in GNOME's current plans will change that. Having written apps for both platforms, I now understand how it was possible for the KDE effort to generate KDevelop and Konqueror so quickly. I encourage skeptics to try Konqueror 2.1. In the end, marketing will likely prevail. Leading to this analogy: kde:gnome :: linux:windows later

  10. No -- but the kernel is about to fork for real! on The Silent Kernel Platform War? · · Score: 1

    Can't say much about this -- apologies for being so mysterious -- but Linus' stubborn refusal to go for modern threads means that a certain group is actively extending a few core data structures and the scheduler to support a many-to-many threading model. Hint: these are people who've built this kind of thing before....

  11. Where is postgresql for solaris?? on MySQL 3.23 Declared Stable · · Score: 1

    Went to the postgres site, downloads are only for linux, didn't see a source download. What gives? is it only supported on linux?

  12. Amen! on The Gnutella Paradox · · Score: 1

    Well put.
