  1. In a nutshell on Are Standards Groups Stifling Innovation? · · Score: 4, Informative
    It appears his argument isn't against standards, but our industry's application of them. He supports de facto standards and argues against design by committee.

    He isn't to be taken lightly. Jim developed the first ORB, was the lead architect of Jini and he had prominent role in RMI. However, the most interesting thing about him is that he holds masters in linguistics and philosophy (in addition to his PhD in distributed computing).

    I attended a session of his on Jini at the WTC. Hmmm....

    Who remembers that one?

    The trick to win was to repay the pirate/gangster/loan shark more money than owed and you earned at his interest rate...

  11. Re:You need to consult a dictionary on Available To The Right Buyer: Sun Microsystems · · Score: 1
    You also missed that the quarter was an anomoly and you don't know how much of that 2 bil was stock buyback.

    Like I said, you're a fucking moron.

  12. Re:You need to consult a dictionary on Available To The Right Buyer: Sun Microsystems · · Score: 1
    Like I said, they make an assload of money. Their revenues for just that quarter were still over 2 billion dollars.

    You're a fucking moron.

  13. Re:Hmm on Available To The Right Buyer: Sun Microsystems · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    Yeah, but IBM will fuck up Java. In fact, IBM fucks up everything...

    Except their ad's. I love the eBull they shovel, but for entertainment only.

  14. HPQW? on Available To The Right Buyer: Sun Microsystems · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Sun still makes an assload of money. Just need to reduce operating expenses. I bet HP has the capability to make Sun's hardware more efficiently than Sun.

    Anyone have an idea what kind of steward HP would be for Java?

  15. Re: Web discussions suck on Spaf's Farewell, Ten Years Later · · Score: 1

    Forget I said it. I was wrong. I am a slug in the shadow of your greatness.

  16. Usenet still rules on Spaf's Farewell, Ten Years Later · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because web interfaces for threaded discussions suck shit. This is one area client side apps are superior.

  18. Re:Idea on Open Source Experiment Management Software? · · Score: 1
    The ant idea above is awsome. Maybe ant + junit...

    To easily store arbitrary datastructures, try xl2 serialization (java).

  19. Idea on Open Source Experiment Management Software? · · Score: 1
    A testing tool like JUnit might be a good place to start. I suspect you'll be writing most of your solution. Put it on sourceforge if you do, this sounds useful.

    Good Luck

  20. Dissappointed on Underworld Trailer · · Score: 4, Funny

    Thought I was in for a little Underdog meets Waterworld! One can only hope...

  21. Re:Michael Crichton : Prey on Nanotechnology: Nanoscale Particles A Health Hazard? · · Score: 1

    It was fun right up until the swarms became people and I realized it was another bad hollywood script.

  22. This is about using software to sell hardware on Microsoft Also Wants Universal Music? · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I can't believe no one has pointed this out. Apple is not doing this to help prevent copying - quite the opposite.

    With a power house like Universal, Window's media and it's copy protection is dead.

    Go Apple! Free music for everyone!

  23. Yay on Quantum Computing Programming Language · · Score: 4, Funny

    GOTO will be all the rage. Maybe they'll call it LEAP instead!
