    It would seem to me that in the long haul, Microsoft would support such efforts because they could sell more devices

    I'm still undecided as to whether the Xbox is a honeypot for MS to see how easy people find it to crack the hardware, in preperation for whatever is going to replace it. I'd like to think it isn't, but then for some reason XP refuses to return any results if I search my entire system for "*.java" in XP, and I'm a Java Developer...

    Copies of Spider-Man 2 Already on the Web

    Hollywood, CA - Copies of Spider-Man 2 have been discovered circulating in IRC and on pirate sites. Experts say this is the first time a movie has been pirated before it has even been filmed. Movie pirates infiltrated Raimi's home while he slept. They used an advanced EEG imaging system along with Apple's new QuickTime 6.0 beta with Brain2Vid technology to capture the movie. Pirates then edited out the unnecessary portions of what they captured such as images of Raimi's mother yelling at him because he forgot to take out the garbage.

    Director Sam Raimi has confirmed that this is indeed the movie he is about to film. "I knew I shouldn't think about what I'm going to film. Now it's loose on the Internet. I doubt the sequel will be able to break the $500,000 mark in 2 weeks now. I'm just really glad I didn't have that goat dream."

    "This is outrageous," said MPAA president Jack Valenti, "These criminals by releasing the film before it has been released are not only stealing revenue from the producers but also ruining the movie goers magical experience. If the pirates do this to enough movies then the summer blockbuster season will seem like a cavalcade of unoriginal dreck which I admit isn't much of a change but still!"

    Initial reviews of the film have been extremely positive. "Usually sequels don't live up to the first film unless you count Aliens, Terminator 2, The Empire Strikes Back and a few others, but this one really exceeds the expectations created by the first," exclaimed Jolly Roger in IRC.

    According to one Internet research firm says the film was downloaded over 700,000,000 times in less than 14 hours and will cost the studio at least $5 trillion in lost revenue. "We stand by our numbers even if they might see a tad exaggerated. We really need the press," a spokesperson for the firm said.

    Pirates have also tried to steal Episode III from George Lucas' brain for several months, but keep coming away with a blank screen.

  22. Garbage Collection and Package Versioning on 10 Reasons We Need Java 3 · · Score: 1

    What about making garbage collection less of a lottery? I've heard a lot of people complain that certain J2EE servers (that shall remain nameless) can often sit for 30 seconds collecting all the garbage when they should be serving the application.

    Secondly, what about specifying some sort of jar/war/ear wrapper that encrypts the package and adds a pile of meta-data. How often have you looked at a jar and thought "Is that the one I built yesterday or not" ??? In a production environment this can be a big problem. Yes yes I know that configuration management can fix this problem, but if you are picking up a production environment that a just-gone-to-the-wall dotcom was supporting, the chances are you won't have a clue...I hear .net does this, and I think it's a very good idea...
