first off, i love java, and its use has employed me for >5 years now. and i agree that with modern JIT compilers, the language itself is pretty damn fast. not C fast, but pretty damn close to C++ fast. that being said:
for graphics, it still sucks. Swing is slow. SWT is better, but not great. JOGL is coming along, but immature. use java for server-side programming. that's where it kicks ass.
second...wolf3d ran on my 286! in 1990!!! arguing that java isn't slow by claiming this speed can be matched by a P75 is asinine! please quit advocating on java's behalf. you're doing more hard than good.
unless, of course, you're just being a troll. in which case i congratulate you, for winning by getting me to type this response.:-P
i'm pretty sure mark (digium/asterisk founder) has been offered VC already. but his company is profitable already, and he is in control. i don't blame him for wanting to keep the vultures at bay.
he's a really cool guy, btw, and prob one of the smartest i know. you should give him a shout. (if you haven't done so already:-)
patents last 14 years. copyright lasts beyond the life of the original creator, or a fixed length of time for corporations. civ I is nowhere near expiration under any copyright law that has existed this century (or the last).
You admit it's "fine," that it "works," and that there is "good stuff" in it. If all of that is true, then why replace it merely because it's old?! That kind of mentally makes no sense.
yes, but lord knows it sells widgets. which is what keeps the US economy running my friend.
fedora is too fast-moving, so you switch to gentoo? i want what YOU'RE smoking!:-P
i love gentoo btw, but it is not what one would call a stable platform. (and by stable i mean "unchanging" - it's great in terms of system dependability)
diff only gets you what has changed, not when or why. CVS history is infinitely more valuable to a developer merging two software branches than a simple diff would be.
i'm not stating that i agree that apple should open up their repositories - in fact i think there is valid rationale not to - but to confuse the usefulness of a diff and complete repository history is a definitely a fallacy.
agreed. i hate how many people forget that it's useful to fun your own mail server. it's getting harder and harder to run your own these days - so many reject out of hand just because you're not a mega-isp.

there is a name for this: "god of the gaps"
and yes, it is very much a pattern in human history.
if you double the efficiency, you only need half as many cells.
this would reduce the cost, even if the price-per-cell remains the same.
personally, i say let's try for both.
haha. "WAMP" :-P
no, no, you have it all wrong!
:-P
everyone knows that (LAMeR == Just Another Vague Acronym)
LAMP (Apache+Mysql+PHP)
LAMP == (Linux+Apache+Mysql+PHP)
WOW. where to begin?
:-P

So the KHTML guys have never heard of diff?

Our grandfathers took apart their houses.
:-P
haha. am i the only one who did a double-take after reading that as "horses"?
agreed. i hate how many people forget that it's useful to fun your own mail server. it's getting harder and harder to run your own these days - so many reject out of hand just because you're not a mega-isp.
repeat after me: internet != web browser
or you can try just SWT or the GTK-java bindings by themselves. gcj is actually slower than the JRE. :-)
don't you mean "SOMEDAY SOMEDAY SOME-DAY!!"? :-P ;)

> are you required to install the nagware called Quick Time?
c e/2004-November/000027.html
most likely. see:
"I am very glad to announce that we have shipped Version 4 of CrossOver Office, with new support for iTunes, Framemaker 7.1, JInitiator, and Quicktime 6.5.2."

note quicktime at the end of the list.
at the bottom of my search:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 8 containing deander2"
first off: "about 8"?!?
second, WTF? can't they check for 10 results?
fry? :-P
don't you mean "Buh"? :-P
1:1000 into 10:1
wow, that's quite a turn-around...
gotta love the family guy references, eh? :-P
10 a=1
20 poke a,0
30 a=a+1
40 goto 20
all sorts of fun follows.
