as a first step towards world domination... and leave a mark on history to tell the rest of the world how someone spend another multi-million tax payer money on a project destined to fail on delivery.
It's very easy to make up some stories about someone living in China.. as easy as them reading stories cook up by their local authorities... everything is censored and controlled, right?
I downloaded a copy for Windows, installed in XP Home, hang my computer during installation, then refuse to reinstall over existing copy, telling me to remove it via Add/Remove program -- which doesn't exists because the previous installation failed and I had to press the reboot button.
So I manually edit the registry, hunt down all the left over files in my hard drive, and gave it another try. Without fail, it hang my pc again.
Next time I'll bring a 96" bolt cutter with me, and a Dessert Eagle, and a grenade, silently slip into my cabin baggage. Oh and some refill for my Dessert Eagle, just in case.

Just like the diff between java 1.4 and 1.5?
I didn't know there's a need to specify version when I compile a c/c++ program. Btw, I'm a SCJP and I think Java is great. But the annotations is not something inside the comment, but part of the language! Is this really needed?
Anyone who had used XDoclet and Hibernate would know that EJB 3 is not doing something new. The change is not technical, but commercial, in my opinion, to take the control back.
I don't see the need to repeat everything while anyone can google it or take a look at theserverside.com to look at what others have in their minds.
Hey, this's suppose to be professional programming right? Why does this ejb3 way of programming looks so much like a hack and is not backward compatible?
Anyone can take a look at the spec. and you will know what I mean. I'd rather stay away from those arcane annotation style, and stick with Hibernate/Spring/XDoclet.
If something has been done, might as well try to co-exist with them. If trying to compete, fine, but at least do it properly. With those new stuff, it's not going to earn any more respect than EJB 2.x.
Sometimes it's good to be non-backward compatible, but not in this case.
I remember some time ago Microsoft said the open source thing is a virus... and now they embrace virus ???
It could be a strategic move, rather than really supporting open source, maybe they want to rebuild their image in the open source community. 1) If the result turn out to be successful both in image building and better code and stuff, then it's a win-win situation. 2) If only the image is good and the code is not significantly better, they could say "look, we tried it, not that we are just plain anti open source but with good reasons and this's the prove!". 3) If only the code gets better, well, then just keep quite about anti-OSS and use the code to their benefit.
I suspected that they'll use GPL or anything similar and after reading the link to the news, ya just confirmed they were using CPL for their previous open sourced code.
Now Microsoft is a company and it's fair they do things good to their business. But watchout, they are not just single mindedly doing that!
Perhaps I can tell the fact that ppl in developing countries might not even know how to use a computer. But programming enthusiast will like to see Linux grow.
From programming point of view, it provides massive code for us to learn. From financial point of view, it's cheap.
But from end user point of view, most of them only want something to be done quickly, and easily. They don't mind rebooting their pc - at least they can show it to those complete newbies they know something.
Anyhow, I like to free code and I can learn a lot from them. I also like the idea of helping each other. This could be a new economic modal, rather than the current business driven modal.

Do the necessary unit testing to make sure it fits your requirement.

What a product.

Unless one is a body builder turned politician, I think it's much harder to do the reverse.
FYI, I don't need even a finger to count the crash of FF ever since I use it.

Maybe I'm just lucky
Good. :)

"Funny thing is, the MS executive (Chris Sharp) used to work for Red Hat."
If that's true, that shows how ugly it's.

why my computer is emitting sound at different frequencies..
Basically, it's more "quiet" if I feed em some jobs, and it's noisier when it's idle.. haha
