  1. What did they smoke before writing this? on IBM Offers to Help Sun Open Up Java · · Score: 1

    "You're probably familiar with Sun's Java Desktop System - it's the most popular Linux desktop on the market today"

  2. Re:Not that bad on Debian Prepares To Vote On Non-Free Software · · Score: 1

    Right, there is one resolution, and one amendment. The amendment is not the opposite of the resolution. Those against the resolution can simply vote against. However, the way I read the amendment, it says "though we will not _release_ non-free, we will continue to host it online as before". So it's not just about non-free packages from older distributions.

  3. Re:Exactly on SPF Design Frozen · · Score: 1
    From a security standpoint, this is a dumb idea. Really dumb. It's stupid, open to a ton of attacks, and does diddly about spam.

    Could you back up those claims with facts?

  4. Re:Open Source Java-like language? on Industry Leaders Discuss Java Status Quo · · Score: 1

    You might want to look at the Nice language. It is similar to Java, but with many extensions, and the compiler is GPL, with an open design process.

  5. Links on Sun to Add Variance to Java in 1.5? · · Score: 2, Informative
    The research article presenting the theory of variance.

    There is a discussion about this on Lambda the Ultimate.

    These links don't require registration :-)

  6. Re:Multiple Dispatch languages and "Naked Objects" on Naked Objects Version 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Yes, this is an interesting approach.

    Since Naked Objects is open-source, it might not be too difficult to modify it to interract with an extension of Java with multi-methods. See for instance the Nice language: http://nice.sourceforge.net
