  1. I just purchased my first ebook last week on Barnes and Noble Drops Ebooks · · Score: 1

    I purchased the previously /. reviewed Code Generation in Action from Manning for half price. So far, I am finding this book to be a pleasant ebook to read, despite it being in pdf, which is due to the writing's conversational style. There are others who are enjoying this ebook and its half price availability. I don't think I would be as pleased if I were to read an ebook of something like A New Kind of Science. ebooks will only get better and become more available.

  5. FSF love or hate? on Guido van Rossum Unleashed · · Score: 1

    Its funny, in some /. postings the FSF is villified, while others they are made out to be gods.

    >the dog unmasked as an alien aboard the mothership was great

    Not just great, but amazing! Who would have thought that they could have possibly done anything more with the same ass Wassap idea? Not me, between the "What are you doing?" and the dog, they by far had the best showing. Now everybody (and their dog =) will be saying "What are you doing?" ... thus making their one hit wonder a two hit How'd they do that.

    Long live creativity ...

  7. no more /. on Sprint's Wireless Broadband - And What A TOS! · · Score: 1

    I guess no more /. for those who sign up with this service, seeing as how /. has all sorts of articles that are pro-illegal activites ... DeCSS, Napster ...

    We should lower the flag to half mast on this one ...

    With Java I was able to write myself a bus schedule App that runs from the command line, has a GUI version, and then I made a Java condiut to my Visor, with a waba app to check my schedule on my Visor.

    All this without needing to know anything other than Java. Say what you want to say, but for me its easy, fast development, with apps that don't run much slower except for JVM startup (but seeing as how Netscape 6's startup time is 15 seconds, the JVM startup time appears negligable too =)

    Plus ... JDBC, Servlets, XML, SWING, Threads, everything about its design ...

    You can't argue with Java unless you just ignorant. You don't have to like to program with it, but you have to respect it.
  9. Damn! on The Ultimate Video Game Library up for Auction · · Score: 1
