While the jgoodies dependency isn't system dependent, the reliance on JDIC is. I'm running KDE and this tries to use gnome libs which I don't have installed so it doesn't run for me either.
While the rest of your points are valid to one extent or another, the GPL != OSS. There are many ways and licenses to do OSS. Stallman, et. al are free to use and fantasize about the GPL if they. Let the rest of us use what license we want.
And that's a surprise to whom? You can target the 1.4 VM when you compile, but obviously you're going to run into limitations using 1.5 features. That's the way it's always been.
Why is the court telling the DOI to unplug? Is there a lawsuit I'm missing? The court's job is to rule on lawsuits brought before not define public policy or run about ordering people around. So unless there's a lawsuit about the DOI's systems, the court should stfu.

1. Gnome and GTK are both object oriented APIs.
Balderdash! C doesn't provide encapsulation, polymorphism, inheritence,... I know the arguments about how OOP can defined in a variety of ways are wide and varied. But C doesn't fit any of the definitions unless you just require it to be written in a programming language. The argument that gtk/gnome code is OO is just a bunch of C programmers feeling left out of the OOP craze.
Not only that, but their approximation of OOP code is more painful than listening to Al Sharpton screaming his tripe in my ears. Horrible, horrible code.
Should Microsoft then be held liable for all the email worms running about? They were made with MS's software. That's several billion dollars in fines right there.
There's a tribunal being set up by the interim government in Iraq, not the Americans, and there's a war crimes tribunal in the Hague waiting for him as well.
I'll call it GNU/Linux when... nevermind. I'll never call it GNU/Linux. Many things went in to making Linux what it is today. A good chunk of that is not part of the GNU project. I appreciate what RMS, et. al have done. I think they write some great software. But demanding that people call their own software by a name that you pick is presumptuous at best. RMS can call the Hurd GNU/Hurd all he wants, but he needs to learn to let others be free (Free?) to call theirs what they want, too.
There's no such force as centrifugal force. There is centripetal force however. Centrifugal force is the idea that a force is pushing back toward the center of rotation when it's really centripetal force that is pulling back in. Take a physics class.
My it's because it has already been mentioned. It *is* news for nerds because a great many nerds obviously have read the books and seen the movie. Otherwise why would so many people submit the story. Don't wanna read this kind of story? You can filter it out on your user page.
I'm just being anal here (and I'm bored at work) but I can't be prosecuted in Libya for treasonous comments I make on a web site in the U.S. Treason is an act against an allegiance and that can only be done to my own gov't. As for slander/libel/whatever else? Let 'em come and get me. Who cares if France gets offended by something I say. I'm not in France so I'm not subject to their laws. Only stupid gov'ts will try to enforce such laws and that includes the U.S.
I like some of what the FSF has done but most of the leaders come across as ideologues and a tad bit arrogant/condescending. Their instance on calling GNU/Linux is bunch of crap. I know it's been argued before (and most likely better), but the truth is my linux desktop is made possible by many vendors: FSF, Intel, Compaq, KDE, Netscape, the many authors of different packages I use (e.g., xmms, etc), and the letter L. They need to get over it. glibc is not a GNU project according to its maintainer.
And the thought that the FSF's creation was the genesis of this community is a load of crap. It merely formalized and focused certain portions of efforts and philosophies that had been around for years. They do good things, but they aren't the final word in community development whether it's called free/Free or Open.
I'm having problems with the RedHat bins. When I try to install some of them (kdeutils, kdenetwork for example) I get errors like : 1:kdeutils error: unpacking of archive failed on file/usr/bin/kab;3b7c16bf: cpio: write failed - No space left on device. Have you seen this and found a way around it? I've been able to rebuild some of the offending rpms from src and they worked ok. (kdetoys) But I'm still stuck on these two.
Call me a nerd. Call me anal. But a rimshot is when the drum stick hits the rim of a drum typically the snare. What effect you're looking for is the double tom shots followed by a crash. Perhaps it could be represent with ba-dump chshhhh. I dunno. But people show that they have no idea what they're talking about when they start referring to that particular device as a rimshot. It's not.

/me passes Eunuch a basic fact.
Please remember that J2EE != EJB. There are lot of technologies underneath the J2EE umbrella that are very nice.
I invoke Godwin's Law. You lose.

Then I guess I shouldn't have been using 1.4.2 on gentoo to run IDEA all these months. What was I thinking?!?
Rectal extraction?

If gtk was developed by college students they should be kicked out. I've always suspected narcoleptic epileptics were to blame...

Actually, yes he did.
I had piles long before apple patented them!
Let me guess. You're a VB guy.

Maybe he couldn't sell enough CDs...
Oh, you mean linux. Silly me. Didn't quite get what you were talking about there for a second.
