I guess he was referring to someting like 'aan het opstijgen', which effectively means 'I am taking of'. 'aan het' is not a prefix perse, and means something like 'being in the process of...'
I do agree with him though that that sort of things slip into 'second languages'. Now living in Canada, and not thinking about speaking english but just doing it, I find myself throwing in 'dutchisms' more then when my english came less easily, because I had to concentrate more. The same probably applies to pilots, who speak english professionally all the time...
I think the main reason for Sun to make peace with Apache is the fact that Jasper (Jakarta's JSP engine) is embedded in iPlanet iAS 6.5 as iAS' JSP engine. iPlanet is, especially since it became 100% Sun this week, Sun's official commercial J2EE container.
Moreover, Tomcat and Jasper are also part of the J2EE reference impl, IIRC.
Coincidence? I think not. Sun sees Jakarta as a source of cheap, very good technology and can't affort to piss them off too badly. JBoss lacks that status.
Wait, say that again, "third party implementations", meaning what exactly?
IBM has Jikes, an open source java compiler, and also its own JVM, which supposedly is better (faster) then Sun's. Then there's Kaffe, a truly open source (read: community-based) Java environment.
Whereas it's true that Sun could smother both efforts (and other, not mentioned, projects) before you can say "standardization process", my experience is that this will not happen. Sun has built a faithfull community around Java, based on mutual respect: Sun provides an infrastructure for "us" to provide input in the direction the language takes, through the Java Community Process, and we assume Sun will listen to us and will not abuse their psoition.
Up to now they have kept their end of the bargain, maybe not always given us immediately what we want, but then again, neither does Linus. I don't think it's in Sun's best interest to betray this common trust, because then they will end up with nothing.

I prefer vi simply because holding down the control key all the time in emacs makes my hands start to hurt. vi/vim instead requires you to frequently hit the escape key -- which doesn't make my hands hurt. So for me, command mode is the only relevant difference, since it helps prevent carpal tunnel.
Hrrrmmm... Interesting.... I think somebody here noted in another article sometime this summer that RMS (Initial Emacs developer/guru), JWZ (forked Emacs to Lucid Emacs, which later became XEmacs), and Ben Wing (long-time XEmacs maintainer) all suffer(ed) from RSI/Carpal tunnel. The link to the control key wasn't made there, but makes sense, I guess.
That may be why I like (X)Emacs but have the urge to 'change' every couple of months. Must be subconcious or something...
I also hope it doesn't use the openserver libraries. Microsoft made Xenix as proprietary as possible and openserver was based on Xenix. Compiling gnu apps might be difficult. Hopefully OpenUnix's libc libraries are those from AT&T.
You are on crack. When I last saw SCO Unix (round about 1994) it was fully Posix compliant and any trace of Xenix was (thankfully) obliterated.
I guess they never made that ETA. I was working with NT on the UE9000 early 2000, and it was nowhere near ready for prime time. The recent DSL crunch hit NT hard, and I understand DSL has been put on the backburner for now (read: ship what they have, but little new development).
I've heard Bell Canada wanted to wire up all of Ontario with this type of remotes. Haven't heard anything much of that either.
There is no doubt that ALL of mathematical knowledge is free to everyone. Truth of the mathematical nature cannot be hidden. It can be difficult for most to achieve its understanding, but there is no denying it to anyone who cares to make the effort to find it.
Crap. I betcha that the defense industry all over the world has tons of nice little algorithms lying around which they don't publish (I know for a fact that the trajectory prediction module of the Goalkeeper anti-missile thingy has tons of finger-licking good systems control theory in it. And no, you can't have it). The mere fact that given enough time and brains you could reproduce them does not make them open.
Given enough time and energy, I *could* probably write the code to reproduce any closed-source software system, but that does not make those systems open. Likewise, the mere fact that somebody else could come up with the same or an analoguous mathematical derivation does not make it open.
I'm pretty sure there was one that used '%'. Can't remember wich one though. Must have been one of those mainframe jcl type batch languages. I have visions of all-caps daisy-wheel printouts with that one, but as I said can't place it right now...
Having a new one in a new language is asinine. It's fairly easy to tell yacc (or bison) to use all of #,//, and/* */ (the most popular comment indicators). To use || (a well-known operator in other languages) is doubly asinine, since apparently boolean OR is something else in their language...
for those of you who really care, his name is Guido Van Rossum...
Well, AFAIK Guido is Dutch, and the dutch language has some funny rules re: the capitalization of the little prefixes (van, de, van der) you can have before your last name. If your full name (first and last) is written, the prefix is not capitalized, but if only your last name is used, it is. So that would be
Guido van Rossum's language.
It's De Visser's stupid comment.
So yes, you were right that Taco was wrong, but you were wrong in your own quote. But you're forgiven, since most Dutch people don't understand the rule either;-)
Hmmm...and now America produces most of the food on the planet, and Ethiopia (and Somalia, and a large fraction of the rest of the African continent) can't feed themselves. So obviously Americans don't know dick about farming. I'm not at all sure I follow your logic.
You obviously didn't read (or understand?) him. Let me explain again.
Ethiopia wasn't always hungry. In fact, it was one of the "richest" African countries for most of the middle ages. Ethipians were able to feed themselves using traditional farming technology. Then came the Europeans (beginning of the century) and they saw a fertile country with a pleasant climate which they thought was very well suited for farming certain crops which were in demand back home but which the Ethiopians traditionally did not grow (coffee, strawberries (I kid you not), tea, etc). Besides grabbing large chunks of the most fertile land they also encouraged Ethiopians to forget about their sorghum & millet and start growing coffee and tea, since with the money they made that way they could buy wheat & corn from the west.
Then Ethiopia became independent again and was a very busy part of the cold-war chessgame. Cold-war induced civil war all but destroyed this entire infrastructure, and since the traditional farming methods had been lost, hunger ensued.
I find your attitude smug, self-centered and disgusting.

Close, but no cigar.
F# = 'Fis', similar to (nut not technically the same as) Gb = 'Ges'. 'Gis' is G#, which is similar to Ab, or 'As'.
Likewise: C#, 'Cis' ~ Db, 'Des'
For completeness: C# 'Cis' ~ Db 'Des'
D# 'Dis' ~ Eb 'Es'
E# 'Eis' (hardly used) ~ F
Fb 'Fes' (hardly used) ~ E

OT, but let me debug that for ya:
if(down==4 && yardsToFirst >= tooMany) punt++;
Furthermore, I'd say that tooMany is really dependend on the current score and the time remaining in the game, so that's probably a function:
if(down==4 && yardsToFirst >= goFor4thThreshold() ) punt++;
I'll leave the design of a proper object model including classes encapsulating games, teams, downs, and drives as an excercise for the reader.
