But Eclipse got it right and Sun got it wrong. I want my user interface to look like the operating system I'm using (not Java L&F) and I want it to be natively quick.
I don't. I want it to look the same on different platforms, and I don't care about "native" performance, at least on my machines netbeans is more than fast enough. Now, why is Sun (or rather the netbeans.org people) supposed to do what you want, anyway?
Well then let's leave the worrying about names to you (after all, you are doing a fantastic job of it already), and the developers on these projects can just concentrate on the software.
Hm, I always thought that "G-force" was just a way of measuring the force created by the acceleration (something about f = ma) by comparing it to gravity. So a force equal to twice that of gravity would give you 2 G's - what exactly is the problem?

They just show that the chances that intelligent life does exist on other planets is low.
From what you describe, they show that the chances of intelligent life existing on a particular planet are very low. We can't say anything about the chances of intelligent life existing on other planets unless we know how many planets there in fact are out there.
The point of a manned mission to Mars isn't necessarily learning something about Mars that robots couldn't, but rather working out better solutions than we currently have, to all the problems you listed.
We are fairly sure that in the future we would like to have manned (womanned, whatever) space flight extending far beyond our current reach, as well as permanent stations, and eventually even settlements on some extra-terrestrial venue.
So, what better place to "practice" as it were than Mars? The only way that the technologies for transportation and long term provision of food and life-support will improve is buy the active development of missions that use them.
Probably the completion of the human genome mapping.
A lot is made about this "event," but really it's a little arbitrary. The whole project is over a decade long, build 33 (the "complete" build) was a little like a 1.0 release for a software project - while certainly an improvement, it wasn't drastically different from the build before it, nor the build after it.
The greatest achievements of the project are the technologies developed over the last decade, the run up to the "completion" is just a lot of tedious, repetitive sequencing.
I am sorry, but if we are still using cars, just making them safer as we go, then the situation is "acceptable," just not desirable.
Don't get me wrong, I don't think that it's wrong to trade the lives of 50,000 for an immensly important comfort for the rest. With something as ubiquitous to our lives as cars, this is quite a bargain actually.
Well it wasn't really a "view" so I don't see how it can be synical. It's what, somewhere around 50,000 people that are killed by cars annually in the US - we are still using cars, aren't we?
Slashdot Mirror
As soon as we figure out how to make everyone else use .them
Ah, but was it supposed to do what it wasn't intended?
I'm pretty sure their bandwidth is donated (much like their hardware).
I think this guy has a 36' TV.
Well, at least they have a full cock between the two of them.
I don't. I want it to look the same on different platforms, and I don't care about "native" performance, at least on my machines netbeans is more than fast enough. Now, why is Sun (or rather the netbeans.org people) supposed to do what you want, anyway?
Are you most of us?
Storage manufacturers always give sizes in base 10, everybody knows this, why do we need to bring this up every time?
If I had to use a graphical interface to apply a gzip filter after tar I would probably shoot myself rather soon.
There, everything worked out in the end.
What's the point of recording on these things? Seriously, who uses that?
Yahoo has a web search feature? Never knew that.

What kind of kinky service were they providing that sex involved shovels?
heh, fair enough.
Brilliant. Now, could you explain why we use cars?
You know, just listing a bunch of applications and incrementing their current version by 1 isn't that much of a trick.
Is it at all possible that's because XP looks like it was designed by a 6 year old left unsupervised with a box of crayons?
Darl?
