and it really needs a DVD iso ASAP. Doing the CD shuffle is a colossal pain in the arse, especially if you do a custom install with less than everything.
I prefer network-based installations for this very reason.
I'm kind of surprised that this marklar is being called Marklar. Do any of you marklars have any insite to why the marklars at Marklar would be doing that? it seems like it would make more sense for a marklar like this to be called Marklar, or possibly Marklar for marklars.
I think there would be less complaints about java not being free if it were free enough to ship with the major distros. But instead of being able to incorporate java into apt or portage, developers and users need to go out of their way to download and install it from sun.
My distro offers support for C/C++, Perl, Python, Ruby, PHP, Multiple Flavors of Lisp, Erlang, Haskell, Smalltalk, & INTERCAL. When these languages fail to meet my programming needs, I'll go out of my way to install java. Until then, I'm not going to write in a language that will inconvenience users as much as I feel it inconveniences me.
Sure, and next you're probably going to try to convince me that Firefox isn't actually just a knock-off of the version of MSIE that ships with longhorn.
they seem to have a corporate culture which heavily encourages new features to be integrated ELEGANTLY into existing frameworks
Pretty != elegant
Just because the GUI is consistent, does not mean that it is somehow elegantly integrated into the framework (Though, that's a particularly bad example, since Apple ignored existing graphical frameworks while building their OS). And while we're on the topic of OS X, kludging a BSD kernel (among others) on top of Mach does not make it more elegant.
If you really think that Apple is elegant in their integration, talk to the KHTML people.
Seems like the bigger the bank, the bigger the security breach.
Well, duh. You're certainly not going to see 600,000 peoples accounts stolen from a credit union with only 20,000 customers. That doesn't mean it's any more secure.
Slashdot Mirror
A bigger threat would be an open source version of solaris that runs on x86.
I was being sarcastic.
But if Jamie Zawinski abandons linux, it will die off, much like the mozilla project which he abandoned years ago.

It's also going to be the first movie shot entirely in slow motion.
belgians are known for their ales, not their lagers.
...they'd build a house that has lots of windows.
By this formula, she can salvage her show by falling over a few hundred times each episode.
Well, It was only built with a maximum occupancy of 20 people.
I think they meant rearchitectured.
The frogurt is also cursed (bad).

fig newtons, by definition, contain figs, not apples. when nabisco makes newtons with apples, they are called apple newtons.
Or it could just mean they're switching to Lisp...

Gigantor is actually the name of a manga (and subsequent anime tv series) about a giant robot.
Not sun (unless you're using it to code in Java).
Oh, you're a Java developer?
RDFS and OWL are both RDF formats.
In the post 9/11 world, even google isn't safe.
Apparently they share a file known as "The Registry". I've read that when one program modifies this file, it can break other programs.
