On the day that Sun puts the code for all versions of the JVM and the JDK on sf.net under the GPL, then it will be open. Until then, they are playing a game of semantics.
I mean Morrowind: Elder Scrolls. Bought it in 1994 at Egghead at the corner of Tujunga and Oxnard in North hollywood.
It was 8 floppies and ran great on a 386SX.
(except that at the end of the prison with the mini-trolls and the rats, you had to have to booklet because you needed to give some word on some page... Or was it a spell question. I forgot, but you had to have the book. (I may still have it too!)
The white wolves near the ice castle were bitching.
Plus each server being rated for 20 workstations, you'd still need 2,000 servers. That's no small feat to manage. Of course, you could go buy those new power-sipping Galaxies.
Wait, I just went to sun.com, and how on earth do I find out how many servers I need? Can a sun person answer that one? For 40,000 desktop?
In this case, however, he does not work for the company.
What can happen, you ask? Well, a hacker steals 20 million credit card and the Wall Street Journal reports the loss. Then NPR talks about it and Congressman Clinton calls for an investigation. That's hitting the fan.
Which is why, my friend, next time this happens, you say nothing.
It is the job of the people getting paid (management) to hire competent developers to protect the data of consumers of products made by the company owned by shareholders. If these people fail in their duty, the company should lose enough money to make the shareholders hopping mad and terminate and sue the management team.
The shit has to hit the fan before things get better.
I would add that HR automatically filters out anybody that does NOT have a 4 year degree, thereby immediately disqualifying some of the finest candidates.
I work at a fortune 500 in IT. It's so true it's sad.
Heard in a meeting this morning: "The reason why companies use EJBs is because some developers wanted to have that to put on their resumes."
It took us 1 year to fill 4 positions, and 3 are H1.
Eh, I have to act on "suggestions" by management all the time.
I got hypnotic treatment before (no, not as directed by my probation officer, cheeses!) and indeed it's sort of the way it works. Was interesting, and in my case relatively effective.
Yes you can use that in production systems, and yes you have to tell them how many installs you're gonna do. But if you don't need support, you don't have to pay them a penny.
I would add to that that/. is a great place to get straight answers about products and technologies that are hyped or denigrated by corporate marketing departments. I would say that when a product gets low slashdot id thumbs up or thumbs down, this significantly inpacts its adoption or rejection as far as I am concerned.
(yes, I tried to merge everything into one sentence... j/k, gosh!)

Woosh! Flying chair!
That should read:
Fantasy != Reality

Yes.
Repeat after me: Advertising revenue.
Not a troll, unfortunately. All too true.
You, Sir, need to go work for a fortune 500 for a couple years to appreciate the bitterness in the GP's words.
Ah, thanks you.

Morrowind: Elder Scrolls did this, when, in 1994?
Yes I still have the original floppies.

I agree with you.

I hear you. I don't install java on my debian boxes for the exact same reason. It's such a pita.

Diebold forced out of North Carolina.
"Under pressure to comply with State Law, Diebold insead chooses to leave the field to its competitors."
Amen!

Your attempt at sarcasm was too long is laudable but still too obvious.

You are very sleeeepy...
Solaris 10 is not released under the CDDL. OpenSolaris is.
True, takes more work to keep your system going, and if you're a real business making real money you'd better pay for support.
But I use Debian for all my servers.
Isn't Solaris 10 free-as-in-beer as well?

It's just not opensource.

Ah, so they, hum, "profit" from showing me advertisings. That's what I thought all along.
Paying for bandwidth is one thing. These guys make plenty of money above the hosting costs.
The company that "does no evil" but shows me ads at every corner? Ah, no thanks.
