  1. Re:Bonus Feature on New Microsoft Mouse Scrolls Both Ways · · Score: 2, Funny

    That's not true. The new MS mouse allows to click on third party programs, if they are digitally signed by Microsoft.

    Well... NO.

    That's a common misunderstanding. Al Gore actually invented the Matrix and doing so created everything we know as reality.

  4. Re:SCO thinks their programs are worth $20 ? on SCO Wants $699 for Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    It's a sad true but the fact is the 99,999% of the kernel not owned by SCO and the rest of gnu/linux is worth $20. They tried to not publicy this to not disappoint linux fans and prevent mass histeria. See what you have done!
    BTW for some curious casuality Unixware is worth $20 plus some code copied from linux...

    Yes! I love so much all those modal splash windows, in fact I'm recompiling all my apps to exit inmediately after showing them...

    I couldn't say if this should be moded as funny, insightful or troll.

  10. Re:How long until? on Plan9 is now Officially Open Source · · Score: 1

    As a programmer I hava formed some habits. For example I took some old code I wrote a couple of years and thought that needed a new variable, with some name. Then looking more carefully I found that I had created that exactly named variable in the original code.
    So if Ritchie keeps his own style, he may write the exact same code to solve similar problems.

  17. Re:sun speak on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 1

    But regex is licensed by apache license that allow use and Sun code may be protected by some Sun licenses that don't.
    What would be interesting is what code they are talking about.

  18. Sun bluff? on Sun 'Calls JBoss bluff' on J2EE compliance · · Score: 1

    This seems a move from Sun to counter negative press, made for their previous negative to let Jboss pass the test.
    Note that Sun is giving JBoss a chance before making comparisons with MS: Sun Microsystems has made an important compliance test available to JBoss Group.
    What I don't understand is that because JBoss is open source, if Sun thinks some code is theirs they just have to point to it.

    We are using for a POS-like application made in java using jaybird (firebird's pure java driver). We are not using it for a server.

  24. Re:"Open source" reference implementation on Sun Releases Open Source XACML Language · · Score: 1

    That's just plain wrong. Enter Java Community Processand check for yourself the list of participants. Like IBM, BEA, Apache, Apple, etc. That is if you like to know what you are talking before posting.

    From the home page: "Java Community Process is the way the Java platform evolves. Its an open organization of international Java developers and licensees whose charter is to develop and revise Java technology specifications, reference implementations, and technology compatibility kits. Both Java technology and the JCP were originally created by Sun Microsystems, however, the JCP has evolved from the informal process that Sun used beginning in 1995, to a formalized process overseen by representatives from many organizations across the Java community."

  25. Re:NUMBERS: on Blackdown Releases a 1.4.1 JDK · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Did you tried the one compiled 3.2? that may explain the difference. supposedly gcc 3.2 generates faster executables than previous versions and Sun's java (I guess) has been compiled with gcc 2.9x.
