Firstly, yes, Java was never meant to be a scripting language.
Secondly, if you are building large web applications with a scripting language then you are not doing it right. I do not believe you came up to an overhead problem in Java and not PHP. Java outperforms PHP, period.
Sidestepping, for the moment, that there are only five game engines represented there (Unreal, Q3, NWN, T2, and Q2) and they are mostly all first person shooters and that way too many game names include a colon
Whoever said the the Linux gaming scene was full of shit?
I am Osama Bin Laden's secret love child. I love sausages. I want to fondle Tony Blairs nipples. I have a secret thing for Gordon Brown and will do what it takes to bring down the government, Lewinsky style. I dont smoke cigars though. I was the extremist pretzel that Bush was using to wash down all that whiskey, oops I mean lemonade, when he fell over and hit his little face. I hate the welsh. And the scottish. I believe we should sell the Royal Family to the Japanese.
Hey, might as well be the first one on the list, right?
Q. The buffer overrun flaw that made the Blaster worm possible was specifically targeted in your code reviews last year. Do you understand why the flaw that led to Blaster escaped your detection?
A. Understand there have actually been fixes for all of these things before the attack took place. The challenge is that we've got to get the fixes to be automatically applied without our customers having to make a special effort.
No Bill, the flaw that led to Blaster, not the fix that you then came up with. Jesus. What sort of interview was this? Or let me guess, the questions were OK'd beforehand.
Er, well, I have mysql installed on my windows dev machine and it's scurrently consuming 2.848 MB. I suppose that doesn't fit into 640k, but there you go.
Is it possible to view all your flagged emails from one directory, even if the flagged mails have been moved out of the inbox into another directory? As I said, there is a "For Follow Up" folder in Outlook 2003 that performs this function...
My bad. I have not checked the client for a while. A great addition. Now if only it was possible to split the messages view across multiple lines - with three vertical panes the messages view gets really crowded...
Flame me if you want, but the Thunderbird team (who are doing a great job IMHO) should take a look at the outlook 2003 beta. There are two killer additions to the client:
1. Three vertical panes. 1 thin pane for folders. 1 pane for folder contents and 1 pane for displaying the selected mail. It is a MUCH more efficient use of space.
2. Follow up flags. Flag an email and file it away to reduce your inbox clutter. You can keep track of flagged mails in the "Flagged mail" folder (durr!). Use different coloured flags and even flag a mail for follow up in the future.
Most countries use an even more advanced technique of minimising civilian casualties. They dont cluster bomb the civilians in the first place. Clever, huh?
And dont give me any of this PsyOps bullshit. That PsyOps sure turned the Iraqi's around didn't it? Not like the entire country is turning into a killing field is it? THEY LOVE THAT ALLIED ARMY DONT THEY? Especially when they are shot and killed for demonstrating. Man, the PsyOps guys must be stoked.
Stop watching Fox News. Start reading Noam Chomsky. While you are doing that, how about you shut the fuck up.
Is it just me that finds this entire concept of "code defects per 000 lines" sounding like a little bullshit?
If the company has developed proprietary tools to enable them to identify defects in medium-sized software projects, which of the following business models do you think is more effective:
1. Design proprietary tools to identify defects in medium-sized software projects. 2. Fix defects 3. Profit
or
1. Design proprietary tools to identify defects in medium-sized software projects. 2. Sit around mumbling about defects, Open Source software, closed source software and why farting in the bath smells worse 3. ??? 4. Profit
Secondly, where on earth did they get hold of a closed source enterprise level (which Apache undoubtedly is) web server software codebase?
"Hi, is that BEA? Do you mind if we take a copy of your entire code base so that we can peer review it against Apache's? What's that? Yes, Apache might come out on top, and we will make the results public..."
How do they define a defect anyway? A memory leak? A missing overflow check? A tab instead of 4 spaces?

Actually I think you are talking bullshit.
Is it just me, or does anyone else find the grammar, scanning and structure of this letter as very, very poor indeed?
Not only is there no explanation as to who the signatories are but also a number of the sentences scan very badly indeed.
I realise that LT is not a native English speaker, but really, it doesn't come across as very well thought through IMHO...
Good to see the very same dissassembled laptop being used as a web server as well...
Whoever said the the Linux gaming scene was full of shit?
And me writing this could very well inform you that, without a shadow of doubt, they would have thought of that already.
NB: Laptop users who are from Syria, Iran or Egypt, or who look Asian will automatically be assinged a YELLOW TICKET.
Man you have to love the patriot act, huh?

Time to get the tin foil hats out again. Longhorn is going to affect the part of your brain that writes worms...

The best way to say no is to say yes and bill by the hour.

Thanks for the info.

Nice of you to be so friendly by the way!

I'm sure the last thing the site needed whilst it was in its death throes was a good slashdotting... ;)
Yeah, that "not needlessly cluster bombing poor people" attitude really does suck, dont you think?

It just sounds like bullshit to me...
You could crash Netscape 4 simply by adding a well placed cr/lf in the middle of a complex table. That's damn, er, innovative!
Those camel-fuckers in Iraq are out there day and night making a sherade of what we worked so hard to establish on this earth... peace and liberty.
You people are just the soft underbelly of a proud and strong nation that is America. Shame on you!
You, sir, are a cunt.
Man this post is funny as fuck. If I had any mod points left I'd mod it to
+1, funny as fuck.
Why are "audiophiles" talking about compressed music? Isn't it a bit like Ayrton Senna driving on remoulds?
