Sun is setting the standard, and GCJ is just re-implementing it. GCJ can never catch up to Sun's Java because the latter is a moving target.
If you look at their differences, GCJ is ahead in many areas. Sun's Java can't compile to a native binary, it is limited to particular architectures, and it can't "just link" to binaries of other languages, such as C++.
I would love to see the GCC(GNU Compiler Collection) gain JVM target support, such that we could compile C and C++ code to Java bytecode. The framework is there, I suppose we're just lacking the standard libraries.
Those with network support can be used as terminals, effectively allowing you to keep any computer at your fingertips wherever you are. "Palmtop" operating systems always try to limit what you do, and a thinclient/dumbterminal design seems better for a phone, which is nearly always connected to the network.
Who the hell thought to give him REAL information about these children in the first place? A fake datase would've worked just as well for development purposes.
It could be done with cryptographic hashes, whereby the hash of a phrase you give the voting machine is placed in a list. You can check to make sure "Skinner Sucks" is on the list, while those not knowing your phrase can't trace anything back to you for vote-extortion.
I'd rather risk extortion than have my vote stolen. Are you listening, DIEBOLD?
This is all a conspiracy against ascii-art, as Microsoft is trying to wrest control of communications away from dialup BBS systems, the kinda frequented by those evil hackers.
With courier, we could view our ascii art in peace, but modern variable-spaced fonts don't allow us to effectively express our war plans, such as the ones shown below:
Lameness filter encountered. Post shortened.
Reason: Please use fewer 'junk' characters.
You could limit the evolution of such things, even if just by natural selection.
An example of this would be in human evolution, because anyone with a serious enough genetic change to break breading-compatibility wouldn't be able to mate. That's why all humans, throughout this entire planet, are genetically compatible.
You can do a similar thing through evolving software. So long as it uses one language, vbscript for example, it is extremely unlikely, if not impossible, for the virus to evolve into another language. Stick to an operating system that doesn't support it, and you don't have to worry about infection.
That being said, immunization is as simple as targeting the general structure or the evolution code. The virus will evolve in similar ways, so you can track and elminate any evolution that is similar to a previous verison but no longer tracked by the previous immunization.
This would not be for general use, it would be for running one specific, time-critical, application. If I'm going to sacrifice my 4G of ram to run everything in cache, it would not be to keep AmigaFS in my kernel.
What I'd like to see is Linux that could run entirely within cache on the higher end chips. Even dated UltraSparcII chips can have up to 8M/cache. That's 64M in an 8-way box, allowing for some truly awe-inspiring performance on mathematical problems if RAM is ignored.
I haven't looked into sparc assembly enough to know if this is possible.
I don't have an AAC encoder, and I like CD-quality sound. Furthermore, I don't know of an AAC encoder available in source form or compiled for Solaris/Sparc64. Ogg and FLAC compile quite well, and cost a lot less than $500 headphones.
He received them in duplicate, and he's only auctioning one copy. That said, I'd auction 'em both; the price is at $3,751.00 with more than seven days remaining!
And don't give me that crapa bout lightwaves being diffused by gasses in the upper atmosphere at angles differing by wavelength!
This is only a press action. SCO might even take their systems down for longer than the attack runs, just to up the damages. Actual damages are irrelevant because SCO has no customers through their website. Nearly all of their customers are locked into their OS through one crucial proprietary app.
Solaris 2 combined with SunOS 5 gives us Solaris 7. Funny how Solaris 9 uses the SunOS 5.9 kernel. All of these major version jumps tend to result in a sort of revenge by the programmers, where a hidden version number still advances slowly.
I had to use nt5 (win2k for those that read the propaganda) for a day to port a library I'd written to ActiveX for some ungrateful VB yuppies. A few reasons keep it from being even a tolerable desktop; I'm ignoring why it sucks as a development platform and server platform.
1. A busy window cannot be moved.
2. Viruses abound, and they are a bitch for an unexperienced user to remove.
3. Spyware apps abound, and they are a bitch for an unexperienced user to remove.
4. Problems are left unfixed. MSIE exploits are unpatchable even after months of MS being informed of them.
I know about spybot, antivirus software, and not trusting the a-holes at MS, but the average desktop user shouldn't have to deal with that crap.
The best desktop OS is Mac OS X. It's easy to use, comes with all needed hardware support, and is easy to configure. (I prefer Solaris and Linux to OSX. I'm not saying OSX is the best operating system, just that it's best for desktop use.)
if something is a truly unique invention, or a truly unique work of art, it deserves a patent or a copyright.
The problem here is that the patent office doesn't have the resources to investigate patents for legitimacy. Anyone can then patent anything and get away with exthorting license fees out of other, unrelated, businesses.
The patent system should be modified such that any significant improvement upon an existing patent negates a new invention from being covered by the previous patent. Then technology is advanced, rather than hindered, by the patent system.

It's like an altair, but with 8 independent 64-bit processors, 32M total L2 cache, 4G total ram, and 8 independent fibre-channel hard drives.
/me shudders at the though of coding with dip switches.
I use a Linux X terminal as a client, but the principal is the same as on an altair.
My best computer doesn't even have a framebuffer, you insensitive clod!
It's only "creativity" when you aren't pissing the community off, and the Linux developers would be seriously pissed off at such a combination.
Linux 2000 would be the bastard child of a hero and a whore.
Aparently I'm not the only one that can't afford a knock-off diamond.

yeah, but the loopholes are so large that NASA fell through without anyone realizing it.

We want our oppressive laws to spread across all the world. By "we", I refer to the media cartels that run my country.

i=i+1; generates:
add %g1, 1, %g1
st %g1, [%fp-20]
while i++; generates:
add %g1, 1, %g1

The latter method might feel better, but there's no difference in the resultant compiled binary. The compiler isn't stupid.

Throw the idiot who did this in a memory hole.
note: I am not advocating we physically harm the idiot responsible for this.
note: Neither am I saying that the bastard doesn't deserve it.

Show me an iPod with decent Ogg and FLAC support, and I'll show you a few hundred bucks. 80% realtime doesn't cut it.
I always find Communism funny. How can any government of the people be responsible for censoring the information they receive?
Email me if you need any dangerous info; be sure to include your public key and encrypt to mine/a.
