  1. Re:In my opinion... on The Great JavaScript Debate: Improve It Or Kill It · · Score: 1

    You don't deserve to be on slashdot if you don't know the difference between Java and Javascript.

  3. Re:Java won't be missed on Oracle Removes Java Signatures, Breaking Webstart · · Score: 2

    To what? Seriously. Point me to something that can replace Java.

  4. Re:Problem exaggerated on Oracle Removes Java Signatures, Breaking Webstart · · Score: 1

    Yeah the issue is that there are many sample applications out there written by Sun which used their signed jars. Those samples are all broken right now.

  5. Solution looking for a problem on Type Safety Coming To DB Queries · · Score: 1

    Let me get this strait. You have a feature and you need to write some SQL queries. So you use a "type safe" language to do it. Compile. Commit. What? You never actually run the query? You're QA never runs the query?

    You're worried that someone will put a string into a date query? Ever heard of parametrized queries?

    Queries are a run time operation. Compile time safety buys you nothing except bad coding practices and a false sense of security.

  7. How about a fast shut down mode on Windows 8 To Feature 'Fast Startup Mode' · · Score: 1

    How about a fast shut down mode like I have with my Mac? Also, can we kill the damn install updates on shutdown "feature"?

  8. 60 FPS on FPS Benchmarks No More? New Methods Reveal Deeper GPU Issues · · Score: 1

    Don't you only need 60 FPS to have the illusion of animation anyway?

  9. What naysaying? on 'Cosmo' — a C#-Based Operating System · · Score: 1

    Grab chapter 12 and build it. It's a 3D game using only the Java 2D APIs. Not OpenGL, No DirectX. It's under 200k JARed with the resources.

    Looking forward to stack smashing hacks again. Yay!

  15. Re:The bug is called "Java" on Java 7 Ships With Severe Bug · · Score: 1

    WTF are you talking about? I've use Java 2 through Java 6 and All I've ever had to do was recompile.

  16. Re:Better article please on Adobe Released 64-bit Flash For Linux · · Score: 1

    I wish I had mod points.

  17. Re:waiting for details on Did Google Knowingly Violate Java Patents? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Ahh yet another Google apologist. We'll be seeing a lot of that in this thread.

    You should make the world a better place and go fuck yourself.

  19. Cheap on Microsoft Pays University $250K To Use Office 365 · · Score: 1

    250k? That's all? It will probably cost the university 3 times that in support and upgrade costs. They probably should have run this by their math department....

    Yeah Might and Magic was good. There is dungeoncraft and forgottenworld which are decent remakes of the older RPG type games.
