  1. Re:Mandrake? on First Mandrake 9.1 Review Out · · Score: 1

    no they didn't go bankrupt, they went in liquidation!

    it's not the same thing.

    in liquidation, the company is protected 'temporarily' from bankrupt for some time in order to find cash to keep its head above the water.

    currently, Mandrake runs somewhat well and should keep off from liquidation soon.

    have you ever tried Eclipse?

    well... speedy is not the word for describing Eclipse, but it's not laggy neither and they are a lot of killer-features for Java developers, that you won't find anywhere else.

    oops, sorry for the mistake ;) I love the end of his Match 7th speech (in response to Rumsfeld's "old europe") "This message comes to you today from an old country, France, from a continent like mine, Europe, that has known wars, occupation and barbarity. A country that does not forget and knows everything it owes to the freedom-fighters who came from America and elsewhere. And yet has never ceased to stand upright in the face of history and before mankind. Faithful to its values, it wishes resolutely to act with all the members of the international community. It believes in our ability to build together a better world."
