I'm not trying to start a flamewar here, BUT!;)
MacOS X sports native GUI support for Java.
I've only heard good about it, never tried
it though, anyone have experience? (Don't know
if I should take the Anon Coward with the big
hairy wazoo seriously).
I've tested gcj as native compiler for Linux,
not only did the app run faster, but the
resource usage was remarkably lower as well.
What I'd like was ability to manually tweak
parameters for hotsport enabled JVMs. They
compile to native code runtime, but only as
far as their internal logic allows them.
Even with JServ0.92 running on a 2.0.36 I have
yet to see the system go down. The puppy has
been running for two years, with average uptime
%gt; 150 days - when it's down it's due to human
failure or power outages - not Java/Linux. Solaris
is rock steady as well.
JSP is not slow. JSP is not Swing or some other
wack Java GUI hype. JSP is probably the closest
thing you'll get to a speed similar to that
of serving static content. The code is compiled
and gets runtime optimized - as I expect you'd
only use JSP on websites thus expecting uptime,
that is a very very sweet deal.
JSP pages get compiled to servlets. All that's
not in 'scriptlet' sections, ie. not in
<%.. > just gets writted to the
responseobject outputstream. The only thing
JSP does is make the servlets accessible to the
webdesigners, which they screw up, and you
end up implementing tag libraries or using
alternative template engines, like eg. Velocity
from jakarta.apache.org.
On a trip to the states in 90/91, I read in
the National Enquierer (.. I know..) about some
mad american scientist who wanted to blow a
huge chunk off the moon and land it on the
earth so all of America would have californian
weather all year round. I guess he agrees with
you then:)
After not having paid attention to windows at
all for 2 years, a friend recently demoed
Win2k for be and showed me screen shots from
XP. I was impressed at the increase in visual
as well as technical quality of the OS. Do you
see this development as a natural evolution
from Win98 or have you been influenced by the
superior technical quality of Linux and/or
the innovative works of the major GUI players
in the *NIX world (ie. KDE/GNOME/Ximian)?
On a side note, do you believe that microsoft
will ever be able to establish a community like
that of Linux users? I'm thinking in terms of
helpfulness, knowledge - or is the Linux
community strengthened by the number of techies
that have adopted the system? Is it at all
possibly to rally such a community without going
open source?
Starting with JDK1.4 the releases will be synchronized. On a side note, there are
blazing fast JVMs (no pun intended) for wintendo, check out IBM's VM on
http://www.volano.com/report.html.
Heard! If Linux is to rock the desktop, users
would like to see some performance. I think this
could be a standard feature which can be enabled
at kernel (re)compilation time - as could tons of
other stuff. I really cannot see anything bad in
this, as it doesn't pilfer with the genericity of
the kernel. RedHat already has various installation options, eg. workstation/server/custom - why not make various
kernel "levels" depending on what the user requests.

Who builds Transmeta's Crusoe processor solution?
The hardware piece of the Crusoe Processor solution, the VLIW chip, is fabricated and packaged by IBM's Microelectronic Division. The Code Morphing software is developed and distributed along with the processor by Transmeta as a complete solution.
So, IBM obviously holds an interest in the success of Crusoe. I cannot find proper (financial) reason for them to not support Crusoe, if not in the Thinkpad, then Thinkpad Lite (or whatever). Unless ofc. Crusoe is a piece of hyped junk?
That article was a strange mix of things that
had no relation to one another. Why at all mention
the lack of IDE's? Who needs anything but a good
editor? Taglibs have nothing to do with performance either, why mention it? The arguments
simply aren't good enough for the article to
be considered a benchmark. Try gnujsp, enhydra,
Tomcat4b etc. and make sure that you're you're
truly testing what you _think_ you're testing,
not the servlet engine performance.
As far as I recall, all OSX configuration files
are going to be valid XML. Thus, when the
system tries to use a config file, it checks
to see whether the config file conforms to
its DTD or not, and responds accordingly.
Why is this relevant? Because
well thought up XML schemes can be used to dynamically generate neat windows in which the user can see what possible actions there are with the current config file, ie. the user does not have to be able to see the/etc dirs directly, because some generic admin tool can be made, to transform all the nasty looking config files into pretty drop down boxes and what have we.

See Java run..
See Java run fast!
See Java run fast on MacOS X!
Uh.. What the.. Anyway, would it be particular hard to build *nix apps on a FreeBSD core? How about all the current ports?

Check out 2cpu.com for some hot benchmarks. Interesting stuff on AMD's upcoming 760MP as well.

Strange. I have a mpg with a monkey pissing itself in the mouth - looks funny too.

I talked to a guy from AMD at CeBIT last month. Their chipset supporting multiple CPU's should be out june.
I've been told that their new chipset can run programs not specifically developed for SMP on multiple processors - anyone have some details on this?

Perhaps you should as well
That's pretty odd, I registered like 3 hours ago and updated (for free).

I tend to disagree. From the press FAQ:

Anyone have a mirror??
