How come the murder rate in England and Australia have gone UP since the gun bans
Oh please, let's have some study backing this up. I'd really like to see some proof of this.
Would you believe Switzerland? Most households have a FULLY automatic assault rifle in them.
And this proves what?? That people that have had some sort of military training are less likely to go to killing sprees than your average american psycho?
I actually went to the Dylan site some months ago when I first saw this troll, but having to had read this same idiot post every time there's a Java post on slashdot has definitely made me anti-dylan type of person.
The fact that OMG chose EJB as their implementation does not mean CORBA has lost its language independence. It's like saying that since OMG chose IIOP as their implementation of GIOP, that all CORBA applications are tied to IP networks. Which is bullocks.
Most people in this forum, and apparently the author of this article we're referring to, don't seem to have the foggiest clue about CORBA or the issues we're talking about. With a few exceptions of the people who actually made intelligent posts trying to explain the OMG specs.
As for CORBA being dead, well, those of you who have access to Gartner Group's reports can go dig up what they came up with their studies of nearly 500 major corporations. Seems to me DCOM has lots of catching up to do!
Mr. Torvald's comments about Java seem to be for the most time a little uninformed. Considering the moves that are happening in the enterprise, and how deeply Java has pawed its way into those systems, it makes a huge difference for Linux to have a strong Java support if it wants to be the OS of choice for the enterprise.
I wonder how much of Linus's negative comments are just the old, natural resistance of change. Seems to me if you hack C and are good at it, it may not seem important to have some OO-hyped interpretted language succeed, but one must understand the need the enterprises have, and that Java has set out to offer solutions to those needs, and undermining Java by just categorizing it as hype won't help Linux much.
So how about offering those solutions instead?
The theory that running Linux on multiple hardware is "cross platform" is not as good as running cross-hardware , cross-OS, like Java promises to do.
Funny, that kind of attitude kind of reminds me of the Microsoft attitude of "Only write for Windows, because Windows is everywhere!".

Why the heck should Sun provide all the OSes in the world with a JVM??
You're the uberhacker, you write your own damn JVM.

Great job, AC.
Thanks for trying to explain this. Maybe one or two of the people will actually grasp the facts you mentioned here.
Sometimes I wonder why even bother teaching people to read. Most of them can't comprehend the sentences anyway.

No it is not.

That's the name of Roger Sessions' new book.
I have to agree with Augusto.
