IcedTea only had to implement the 4% of Java that wasn't GPLed.
Although 4% doesn't sound like much, it's actually just short of 8 billion lines. It sounds unbelievable that they could accomplish that so quickly, but Java's strength is in making it easy to write large amounts of code.
Regulation should protect me from bodily harm and injury, not from information that's mine to begin with.
Sorry Tom, but the information isn't yours. Much of "your" DNA is patented. If you don't intend to pay the licensing fees, then you should expect to receive a C&D shortly.
Seriously, lying is one of the best ways to teach skepticism. Tell absurdly stupid lies about wholly unimportant things. Tell lies that contradict eachother. Tell lies that contradict well known historical events. Realizing how stupid your lies are will make every other stupid lie (ghosts, ufos, jesus) more obvious.
"Now, what's the difference between an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon who spits heatless fire and no dragon at all?"
I don't know. What's the difference between a universe full of other races that we've never heard from and a universe inhabited solely by us.
I'm a fan of Carl Sagan, but I do find it kind of amusing that he would easily reject one idea that there is no evidence for (God), but so willingly embrace another idea for which there is no evidence (intelligent extraterrestrial life).
My point is that a guilty verdict should be beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact that the DA would try to bargain with him for a lesser sentence suggests that there is a reasonable doubt.
Though it's possible, how many other things in the universe are naturally doughnut shaped?
Perhaps the universe is naturally round and mostly flat (like a disk), but has a gigantic black hole in the middle. That would result in a donut shape.

Oddly enough, I tend to find that talented sysadmins make the best programmers. They tend to be much less likely to fuck everything up.
AFAIK, GP was making a joke.

Maybe it has more to do with the skill of the developers than anything else.

The sell any one piece knows about the other pieces, the better off the system will be.
Only if you successfully find and kill the wumpus.

Did you even RTFA? The corona around the sun is a million degrees. You'd never be able to get to the surface without burning up.

Yes, clearly it is Reiser's responsibility to provide evidence that he did not commit first degree murder.
Honestly, I don't see how this invalidates his work. Surely the code didn't drive him to commit murder.
Disclaimer: I use ext3, but I'm sure reiserfs has some merits.
Every language is for people who hate perl. Everyone hates perl. Especially perl developers.
Last week they embraced ruby. Now they are extending it. I can't wait to see what they'll do next!
Clearly google is a biased source.
I think it was obvious that he misspelled moroon.
If you look to the right, Microsoft is listed as a diamond sponsor of the event. Hopefully the government will shut them down soon.
It would be ideal for a femputer.
