  1. static typing on PHP 5 OO In 24 Slides · · Score: 1

    Java programmers will be pleased.

    I'll be pleased when PHP gets static typing.

  2. Re:I must be a Luddite... on Need A New Retina? Look No Further · · Score: 1

    my current eyeballs + glasses work just fine.

    You're already enhancing yourself then! Seriously though, I think in 200 years when people are born, you will automatically get enhanced vision, extra memory/processors, maybe a super strong titanium exo-skeleton. Living without these things 200 years from now would be like trying to live now without electricity.

    or Derby

  4. jameleon on Automated Software QA/Testing? · · Score: 1

    We've had good luck with Jameleon. We use JUnit for the low level stuff and Jameleon to test the web front end. Of course, it's probably a good idea to use human testers before you go to production, but automated testing can cut down on the bugs that make it to the human testers.

  5. Re:Breakdown? on Traffic Control of the Future · · Score: 1

    The same thing as when planes break down. PEOPLE DIE!!!

  6. Re:It's heavily used in some areas. on How Much Java in the Linux World? · · Score: 1

    run it with the OpenGL perference turned on.

    Sure that what I'll tell all my users when I ship them a product.

    SWT is not a rewrite of AWT. From the SWT project page:

    SWT avoids the use of a separate peer layer as is found in the Sun AWT class library, thereby gaining increased speed and space efficiency at the cost of some amount of implementation flexibility

  7. Re:It's heavily used in some areas. on How Much Java in the Linux World? · · Score: 1

    Yes Swing blows on the desktop. Here are some great altenatives:

    SWT - awesome windowing toolkit developed by IBM
    wx4j - Java bindings for wxwindows.

  8. lots on How Much Java in the Linux World? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I work at a fortune 500 company. My present Java project is hosted on Linux and it's planned that all upcoming projects will be as well. We are even looking at Mono for hosting our legacy ASP apps, but all new development is Java on Linux. I guess someone is tired of getting viruses that disrupt our network.

    Will you be able do graphics by poking bits into screen address space?!

  10. i can't on NASA Considers Mobile Lunar Base · · Score: 0

  11. Re:To the Moon, Alice on NASA Considers Mobile Lunar Base · · Score: -1, Redundant

    mobile base

    All your base are belong to us

  12. Re:It is time on Blame Bad Security on Sloppy Programming · · Score: 1

    Yes, but our salaries would rise dramatically, since you would have to employ 10X as many programmers to make sure software was 100% bug free.

  13. lines of code on Microsoft Eases "Shared Source" Restrictions · · Score: 4, Funny

    more than 2.5 million lines of code...

    Just what I always wanted in my embedded OS!

  14. dvd's suck on Father of DVD Gets Bitter Reward · · Score: 1

    Maybe he got fired because dvd's suck. %50 of the time when you rent one, it skips. I've never had any problems with VHS. I have old VHS porn from 1980!

    the man is basically dishonest

    Who are you talking about - Moore or Bush?

  16. Re:Eh? on Eclipse Reaches Version 3.0 · · Score: 4, Informative

    Eclipse is a framework for developing client side applications - i.e, it makes it far faster and easier (once you learn it anyway!) to create client applications. It makes it easy to create "Views", "Editors", "Perspectives", wizards, dialogs, property editors, etc., and connect them all together. It's created with the SWT GUI toolkit, which is far better/faster than Swing. One such client application, what many people think of as "Eclipse", is the Java IDE. If you need to create a complex, cross-platform client application in Java, the Eclipse framework would be good way to do it.

  17. Re:I did S[kim]TFA ... on Government-Funded GPL Software · · Score: 1

    It's a content management system.

  18. scalabilty on Where Does the Business Logic Belong? · · Score: 1

    Putting business logic in the database may be faster for a single client, but what happens as you get lots of client? I would think it would be easier to cluster the application server as opposed to the database server, so put the busines logic there.

  19. this is the only way they can compete on Microsoft Assembles Patent Arsenal for Longhorn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Patents and monopolistic lock-in is the only way MS can compete with Linux (or any other decent OS). They know they are going down, they are just trying to slow the process.

  20. Re:So what? on Bill Gates Fined $800,000 Over Stock Purchases · · Score: 1

    I don't think giving something away that you have more of that you can possibly use deserves any recognition. Call me a commie, but I think it's shameful to have $40 billion laying around, live in a 40000 sq/ft house, etc., when there is so much suffering in the world.

  21. better survival guide on Struts Survival Guide · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here's a better struts survival guide:) (Sorry for the flamebait, I've been having another frustrating day developing a struts application...)

  22. Re:All the C++ programmers are laughing at you... on C, Objective-C, C++... D! Future Or failure? · · Score: 1

    I prefer assembler. Who want's some dumb ass compiler slowing your program down by 10% or deciding which bits go into which registers. High level languages are for whimps.

  23. Re:Principles? on The Only Way Microsoft Can Die is by Suicide · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Considering McNealy has more more than anyone could ever need why would he need to trade principles for money? The only logical conclusion would be that he didn't have any principles to begin with and it has always been about money. It was a very said day for me as a Java programmer and Red Wings fan to see McNealy/Ballmer holding up an Yzerman jersey on stage together. My next project will be written in Python. Go Wings!

    Man I was just going to valdalize the wiki but it gave me this error:

    We apologize, but an unknown error has occured in the forums. This error has been logged.

  25. Re:this is a windows installer... on Microsoft WiX Code Released to SourceForge.Net · · Score: 1

    Yes, but now the Linux community can slap a wxWindows UI on it and reuse most of the code to build a Linux installer.
