If IBM filed for summary dissmissal, and didn't get it, maybe due to a clueless judge, then it would only help SCO's true aim... ie: to raise their stock price.
1) In contrast to the rest of Java, you have to remember to explicitly free everything you create.
2) Cross platform stuff goes out the window, unless you can make sure a SWT lib is installed everywhere you want it
At the very least, with an open source Swing, you could ship say, a linux binary, but also ship the class files for other clients.
So by SCO's twisted logic, if you install a CD player in a car, all CD players become "derrivative works" of cars.

You have no idea what you are talking about.
Ritalin works by slowing the brain function down. How do you figure your brain is sharper by doing this? This is equal to taking a 64bit CPU, and running 32bit software in an attempt to filter out "bad" data which you consider "junk" or not u seful to keep the CPU more focused on a single task of say crunching random numbers.
Ritalin works by stimulating the limbic system of the brain. The limbic system is responsible for impulse control and attention, among other things.
But ok, lets assume you are right, and these drugs are completely safe, harmless with no side effects, lets say these drugs help make the mind sharp and help people concentrate, if this is true shouldnt they be marketed over the counter like anti depression, pain medication, and others?
What FDA-approved anti-depressants are available over the counter? None. By your logic, blood pressure medicines should be available over the counter.
The simple fact is that Ritalin has been on the market for 50 years now. No study has ever shown long term side effects of Ritalin use.
If power usage is not an issue, and you are already in a vacuum, you could deliver more than a shock to things in your filed. Ever seen pictures of people who come into contact with 100,000 V lines? The energy dissipated is real.
That's because of the current involved. A 100,000VAC line has pretty much unlimited current available. Same thing with lightning.
You can get hit with 50,000 volts just by walking across the carpet and touching something metal. There's just no current there to do any real damage.

In related news today, doctors fail to remove pc magazine columnist's head from his ass.
"It's a really hard procedure," said a hospital spokesman, "first of all, you have to figure out which end is which."
Although the columnist's head is still firmly implanted in his ass, doctors don't expect it to be a problem. Apparently, he has lived with this condition for many years.
Right. But when those financials were running off of flat files on the mainframes, it was in batch-mode. You don't have to worry about transactions when you only have one thread hitting the database at a time.
Because C++ doesn't solve the problem of writing your application on one platform, and running it on several others. I have an app that I write & maintain on w2k. It deploys on windows 95, 98, NT, etc, and Solaris, Linux, and AS/400.
Is it possible to do that with C++? Not in the same way. I'm tried of coding a bunch of #ifdef WINDOWS in order to have portable code.
Oh, and the COBOL jockeys never believed they would ever need another language either.
Let's say that few people feel like embedding a JVM to their C app:)
It's not really all that hard to do, especially if you use some sort of code generator to do it. I have a java app that acts as a service. Although most of my clients are java based, I have a few win 95 clients that I have to support also. I'd use xml, but on the boxes involved, it's too much overhead.
So- I wrote a code generator that created C++ proxy classes for the java ones. Works great.

SWT is very cool except for two things:
1) In contrast to the rest of Java, you have to remember to explicitly free everything you create.
2) Cross platform stuff goes out the window, unless you can make sure a SWT lib is installed everywhere you want it
At the very least, with an open source Swing, you could ship say, a linux binary, but also ship the class files for other clients.
What I meant was if Sun turned over the current native parts of the AWT, then we wouldn't need to do a clean room implemenation of all of them.
Having a open-source version of Java should allow swing to be compiled via GCJ. There would no longer be anything holding natively compiled Java back.
So by SCO's twisted logic, if you install a CD player in a car, all CD players become "derrivative works" of cars.

A surprisingly interesting story.
An interesting story on slashdot! Now, that is suprising!
*Perfectly is taken to mean "Works about right as long as that system has the same brand and minor revision of the JRE"
Nope, don't think so... I develop on 1.4.1, and my stuff runs fine on 1.2.2 and up.

That's ok. Most women say that size isn't important any way.
Should samples be protected by copyright, or should artists/musicians have the right to manipulate the old into the new?
If the song is copyrighted, why should little pieces of the song not be? If you can't come up with your own ideas, get out of the music business.
I Don't blame you there... I've always considered java to be a subset of C++ anyway...
Right...
Doing things in a harder way than necessary shows how skillful you are.
