    SS contract

    Heh, I thought SS was permanently dissolved in '45. :)

  2. Re:Hmmm, I Wonder... on Self-Improving Systems · · Score: 1

    Heh, I had Roland as a lecturer, and he's a great guy.

    (I remember he came into class one day and uttered "Yesterday, I made an OS that..." :)

  3. Re:I would put it more strongly... on Unreasonable Searches When Going to Work? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Yes, you Israelis are probably the worst terrorists on the face of earth right now. Of course you should be searched.

    It's just a pity US & GB are bombing Afghanistan and not Israel. Seriously.

  4. Re:To Those Who Are Screaming For Vengeance on US Starts Attacking Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    You obviously hasn't read much history. Get some books, quick.

    Why the hell was this guys modded as a TROLL? Sheesh.

    The British bombing bastard's name was "Bomber" Harris. A tragedy he wasn't prosecuted after the war...

  7. Re:Bidirectional editing? (Hebrew, Arabic) on VIM 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    What if the Israelis settled for vi and the arabs for Emacs? Would the UN intervene with Word?

    Scary thought :)

  8. Re:ok, make your case objectively? on VIM 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    Just use the gnuclient.sh script. Should be in your emacs distro, at least if you're on some civilized OS.

    Gnuclient attaches to emacs, meaning you can have one emacs running on a host, log in, and attach to it. Works great.

    Or, log in on your computer, set EDITOR to the gnuclient-script, and everytime something want to edit something, it will use your running Emacs. Neato.

  9. Remember Directory Opus on VIM 6.0 is Out · · Score: 1

    DOpus, that was some kind of program, really powerful. I don't if it evolved to the point where it could send mail, though. :)

    I think the Amiga 1.3 shipped with some Emacs clone as well, I remember looking at the strange keyboard shortcuts, and went straight back to CED.

    (Of course, nowadays I live in Emacs :)

  10. Re:Java on OS X? on OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta) · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the great info, guys! I'm considering a Sun Blade 100 or some incarnation of a Mac for my next workstation. The Apple boxen looks better day by day both h/w and software-wise.

  11. Java on OS X? on OS X 10.1 Coming Today (Sorta) · · Score: 1

    How's the state of Java on OS X? Can it run JBoss and other big Java apps "out of the box"? Tomcat?
    And how about hotspot or other optimization techniques?

  13. Why JBoss will succeed on Lutris Closes Enhydra Source · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1. It's an excellent implementation of J2EE

    2. The project has a really active (like in hyperactive :-) project leader/lead programmer, Marc Fleury.

    3. The expertise of the other main programmers on JBoss is impressive.

    4. The community is very active

    5. Now provides a "turn key" (if that's possible with J2EE :-) download with embedded Tomcat or Jetty.

    6. Extremely developer friendly with a working hot deployment (no crappy weblogic "compilers" etc. here ), quick to restart if you want to,
    and handles load fairly well.

    I've used JBoss for some time now and I'm very impressed. JBoss has been rock stable for me, and usable on both Linux and Windows. (The servers on my latest project use JBoss/Tomcat/Debian Potato/Blackdown JDK and it's running 24/7)

    Recommended! Check out http://www.jboss.org

  14. Changing video card in Dell Inspiron 7500? on Notebook Upgrades: Hacking your Dell/Compaq/Toshiba · · Score: 1

    The Dell Inspiron 8000 has a Geforce 2 To go (or whatever :) card. I've noticed that it is possible to change the gfx card in the 7500 model.

    Anyone know if it would be possible to put an GF2go card in my 7500 model?

    And where can one buy those Geforce 2 go cards?

  15. Re:Isn't it GPL'ed? on Broadcast 2000 Removed From Public Access · · Score: 1

    It's not impossible. AFAIC, JBoss made the switch from GPL to LGPL.

  16. Re:Memories of something similar: Third Voice on Don't Eat the Yellow Links · · Score: 1

    Nothing new. As far as I can recall, a particular version of (X?)Mosaic had something similar allowing users to annotate web pages.

    Obviously, you aren't paying attention to what TM is doing for the high end market.

    This fall, they're releasing the Cougar HOTAS. (No nerds, that's Hands On Throttle And Stick, not, well nevermind.) :-)

    They're awesome. All metal, digital and fully programmable (as usual). I'm the proud owner of a F22, F16 TQS and Elite Rudder Pedals. The setup rocks, but is showing it's age. (No USB etc.) Preorders are possible now.

  18. Re:embedding ODP (& OSD) content in your web site. on OSD Database Downloadable As XML · · Score: 1

    I've used dbxml some and find it very nice, but I haven't tested in on anything large. Have you any experiance here you'd care to share?

    (I really like being able to do XPATH querying documents instead of insane SQL querying documents disguised as records. :-)

  20. Re:prompt on What Does Your Command Prompt Look Like? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I mean, of what possible use could the current build of the OS be? Actually, if you're a tester and has 20 boxes with different service packs etc. hooked up on a single keyboard/screen switch, and you constantly swap back and forth, that's actually quite useful. (Especially if you're in console mode)

  21. Re:Yes... it is only right! on Should You Donate Money to Companies? · · Score: 1

    I think you're referring to Info Dock and Hyperbole ? InfoDock has a some good features (the class browser is really nice), and I use it together with JDE when I'm programming Java.

  22. Re:What IS Lisp based off? on Using Lisp to beat your Competition. · · Score: 5
    How can this be moderated to 4, informative? Is all people on slashdot PHP and C freaks?

    Allegro CL, like implemented by Franz , is _extremely fast_. It is compiled, you can "live on top of the compiler", ie. interactively compile a function and disassemble it.

    You can either ignore types, or at the end of a project, optimize it with more specific types (ie define vars/members as floats etc). The hard part is third party libraries, but CL does have a hell of a lot of libraries SPECIFIED IN THE STANDARD. Yes, it has a standard. It also has OO, CLOS, which is a very flexible OO-implementation.

    And if you didn't know, check out this:

    the control software of the Deep Space 1 (DS1) spacecraft, which is written in Common Lisp, has been chosen together with another system as NASA's 1999 Software of the Year.
