  1. Same theory didnt hurt Microsoft on The Final Days of Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I heard this same thing years ago about Microsoft. Yes, some smart employees left and created startups which were largely partnered with them. Same will be true for Google. I don't see any problem for Google here.

  2. Re:The Sun Experiment on Sun Completes Java Core Tech Open-Sourcing · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Solaris but Java is definitely not losing ground. #1 language by any measure.

  3. Re:These are not random maps on Randomized Maps in Team Fortress 2 Explained · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up. Nothing to see here. Waiting till maps can be really re-generated randomly in real-time.

  4. Some good news on Biology Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    For a change!

  5. Re:I don't doubt... on Microsoft Getting Paid for Patents in Linux? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I thought based on your parent post that you were a script kiddie who hated Java because it's "too complicated". My bad. ;)

  6. Re:I don't doubt... on Microsoft Getting Paid for Patents in Linux? · · Score: 1

    You're a fucktard. Sorry, but you are. Java certainly does not use that much memory and performs very well on my P4. Try running any .NET poo - same thing. Stick to scripting - real programming is obviously too hard for you.

  7. ok so where is it? on Cisco to Open Source CTA · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So where is it? The article is light on details. I'd like to see the code.

  8. OLD news on Graph of Linux Vs. Windows System Calls · · Score: 2, Informative

    Posted in last year sometime on zdnet. Is slashdot that out of touch?

  9. RATS on Microsoft Tops Corporate-Reputation Survey · · Score: 1

    Who are we going to complain about now?

  10. PHP at its finest on Building a Programmer's Rosetta Stone · · Score: 1

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/mike/public_html/includes/Exception.php on line 139

  11. Pawns? on Developers As Pawns and One-Night Stands · · Score: 1

    More like peons.

  12. Sounds like a business opportunity to me on Plastic Packages Cause Injuries, Revolt · · Score: 1

    Stores could offer de-packaging as a service or just do it and roll the price. I would pay more for less hassle. WalMart won't do it so it could be good for the smaller stores.

  13. IntelliJ on Resource-Based GUIs Vs. Code Generators In Java · · Score: 2, Informative

    IntelliJ's designer does exactly that. I saves the UI code in XML files and you only need to code the specific business logic in a seperate class. The designer itself is quite nice as well.

  14. Re:Java.Net, anyone? on Sun Open Sources Java Under GPL · · Score: 1

    No, actually it's not.

  16. Re:Great, even more ways for MS to kill it on New Mono 1.2 Now Supports WinForms · · Score: 1

    How does an anon-coward get modded informative? This clown is clearly one of the dilusionists on the mono team.

  18. Re:What javaScript needs on Implications of the Mozilla/Adobe Partnership · · Score: 1

    Thanks for the link. Yeah that's nice and all but if it's not going to be supported by M$ it's all moot no?

  19. So what? on New Mono 1.2 Now Supports WinForms · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Who uses this?

  20. What javaScript needs on Implications of the Mozilla/Adobe Partnership · · Score: 1

    What javaScript needs is optional strong typing and name spaces. If it is to move forward for ajax applications.

  22. Re:Whats in it for Microsoft? on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    "I suspect Microsoft needs a common programming platform, and its Mono they are after."

    Maybe. More likely this is a precursor to getting MS office on this distro where they stand to make real money and knock OO off the planet.

  23. Re:XML11 is better than GWT on Thank God Java EE Is Not Like Ajax · · Score: 1

    Or just use XML11. ;)

  24. XML11 is better than GWT on Thank God Java EE Is Not Like Ajax · · Score: 3, Interesting

    http://www.xml11.org/

    Although it doesn't get the hype that GWT does, XML11 is a much better implementation of the idea. It works with java byte code instead of source like GWT so it's more stable. GTW doesn't yet work with java 5 because of the new language syntax. XML11 works fine since the java byte code is the same between java 4 and java 5.

    Also, it's based on the AWT framework (same classes with different implementations) so developers already familiar with AWT can get productive faster - instead of having to learn yet another gui framework.
