With the (annoying) exception of printing, Eclipse has been working like a champ for at least six months if not longer. I am a J2EE developer and use it eight or ten hours a day on a G3/600 iBook at my workplace... give it a shot -- it's great.
The recently released RC2 of Eclipse *finally* allows font selection for the hierarchical views, fixing my major complaint. Andre Weinand has done a top-class job porting to OS X. Should you decide to give it a try and encounter problems, email me at raymond.a.oleary@monsanto.com and I will try to assist you.
My grandfathers both fought in the War of Independence. I have a solid understanding of what the Rising was about. You apparently do not, if you think that today's thugs, extortionists, drug-dealers and gangsters have anything to do with those ideals. Good day to you.
I am an Irish citizen -- born and raised in County Cork. Just because I chose the screen handle easter1916 does NOT mean that I support today's "cause". Go fuck yourself with your IRA sloganeering.
Not to mention all the so-called "loyalist" and "unionist" terror groups, the B-Specials before them, the Royal Ulster Constabulary, the Black and Tans, etc. But of course, those groups were state-sanctioned and state-assisted in many cases, so that made them "legitimate".
So, you were appalled, yet you don't care? Could you please conform to a few more stereotypes? Jesus. Why not throw in a few "top o' the mornin's" while you're at it.
This is not in the least bit surprising. After "The Emergency" (as WWII was known in Ireland) martial law was never lifted and remained in effect until the early 1990s. The excuse was "combatting terrorism". Many of my fellow citizens will claim that this isn't true, but that is only because the powers granted by martial law were rarely used and never publicised. People in Ireland have little understanding of or appreciation for privacy and civil liberties and many subscribe to a 'tabloid' view of most issues, if they even bother to read the tabloids these days.
"Cheep"? That makes me laugh every time I read it. If you read the article, you would have noticed that the school is supplying iBooks, which are not particularly cheap.
We run our student information system on an AS/400 mainframe, and I work on the billing side of it. What's struck me about this place is that while the mainframe is old (circa 1985), the people are older still.
I began my career in 1988 (not 1985), the same month the AS/400 (now iSeries) was launched. The iSeries is a midrange system. Granted, it can be expanded ad infinitum to the point that it might as well be a mainframe, but a midrange system it is. Oh, by the way, not all AS/400 folk are dinosaurs. Three years ago I switched to J2EE development and am doing just fine and didn't find the switch all that difficult, even after 12 years of RPG development. A lot of the concepts that are touted as revolutionary in "modern" OSs have existed on OS/400 since it was launched, and on the System/38 before that.
When I had Charter Pipeline installed in south St. Louis county about 2 years ago, the guy asked which PC was to be used as a gateway. I pointed him to the headless Linux box and at that point he said "Well, we don't support that, so the software configuration is something you'll have to do yourself. Just use DHCP to get the settings." Sweet! No nasty spyware there!
You may be referring to Veronica Guerin, an investigative journalist murdered by Dublin criminals in the late 1990s. No PIRA links there. Not that it really matters whether the people they murdered were journos or not, I suppose -- they were all people and each murder is completely objectionable on that point alone.

Ray.
Broken link, apologies. The correct link is The Offences Against The State Act, 1939-1998.
The Offences Against The State Act, 1938-1998.
A rose by any other name... the powers granted by this act could easily have been the model for the US Patriot Act. Scary stuff.

What is an RS/400? Is this an amalgam of the AS/400 (sorry, iSeries) and RS (sorry, pSeries) machine names? Some weird hybrid box?

We all also know that Freud's theories have long been discredited.

What's all this shouting about? We'll have no trouble here.

Are you local?

I was just using the same sense of 'humour' as the original poster, i.e., insult the target of your 'humour'.
What a reasoned response. Your mom would be so proud -- wait, I'll ask her She says go back to jerking off at the back of class, retard.
Someone needs to inform you that Iraq is Iraq in French, too.
And acquited. That would be a salient point, no? And he called Islam "stupid" not "dumb". Houellebecq never denied that Islamists can speak.
I'm not a left winger, 'buddy'. Try saying 'Vive al Qaida' in Buttfuck, AK and see where it gets you.
This should set the hordes of US nationalist nerds that inhabit /. jumping in outrage.
When assbag Americans stop funding terrorism in my country (Ireland), I'll do my best to have our journalists investigate it.
PIRA has not killed any journalists in a long time, in fact I cannot remember when they ever did.
