    IDEA is far superior to Eclipse and NetBeans.

  2. Re:The best things in life... on Linux Gaining Strength In Downturn · · Score: 0

    "I believe Google use MYSQL too, so it must be pretty capable if used correctly."

    More like someone at Google uses MySQL for their personal contact database - maybe.

  4. Alpha = Omega? on Wolfram Promises Computing That Answers Questions · · Score: 1

    FTA: "And - like Mathematica, or NKS - the project will never be finished."

    You don't finish Wolfram Alpha, Wolfram Alpha finishes you.

  5. Re:Captain Obvious strikes again! on Dreamweaver Is Dying; Long Live Drupal! · · Score: 1

    The only thing is you used rext instead of 'rest'. Aside from that - perfect. :)

  9. Re:Summary on BeOS Successor Haiku Keeps the Faith · · Score: 1

    Yes. I tried a variety of setting and got it to work using NAT and the Intel PRO/1000 adapter type. I didn't try shared folders or anything but browsing the web works fine.

    I just got it up with VirtualBox with no errors.

    VirtualBox version 1.6.2 running on Windows.

    If anyone is interested, you can download the image file, unzip it and then use the virtualbox command line to create a VDI file.

    VBoxManage.exe convertdd haiku-alpha.image haiku.vdi

    Then create a new machine with Other/Unknown OS and chose this as the hard drive.

  11. Re:Opera of the phantom on Phantom OS, the 21st Century OS? · · Score: 1

    Well I don't entirely disagree with you but most of what your arguing now are UI issues really.

    IntelliJ saves continuously as you work. When my cat walks across my keyboard (it does happen) I can right-click the file and look at local history which shows all save states + times + comments.

    I can easily click the good version and roll it back.

    Castle of the Winds is OK but the new Tunnels of Doom has a lot more to it. Up to 4 characters, tactical combat, perspective dungeons, great score. The developer did a really nice job.

  18. Re:Got it wrong on Was Standardizing On JavaScript a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    Don't taze me bro. You're assertion that JavaScript is useful as an 'enterprise' language is absurd. If you moved out of your mom's basement and got a real job you might find that out.

  20. Re:Got it wrong on Was Standardizing On JavaScript a Mistake? · · Score: 1

    "Javascript is extremely useful to create large scale applications but most programmers are to much educated towards 'convetional' OO-programming to use it right."

    WRONG!

    "Javascript is extremely useful to create THE UI FOR create large scale applications...."

    And even that's a stretch. A lack of a type system makes Javascript really not useful for large scale applications as a whole.

  21. Develpers developers developers! on Why Microsoft Cozied up to Open Source at OSCON · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has lost a lot of developer mind share in the last 10 years to Java, PHP, Python, Ruby and others. NONE of these languages came from Redmond and .NET has not been as successful as they would have hoped. Java is hugely entrenched now and PHP has been the new VB for at least 6 years now.
