Sun has a strong history of providing software and ideas to the community. But at the same time, Sun seems to have tremendous difficulty with follow-through on these kinds of projects. Remember the Liberty Alliance?

The Java that's used within NeoJ is "pure" Java, AWT and Java 2D at present, and perhaps some Swing in the future. Anything that's using OS X specific frameworks is written in either C++ or Obj-C. Since the majority of the application is already C++ based, we just call the frameworks directly. There's no need for us to add an extra layer with the CocoaJava language bridge and never will be.
I'll be sure to upgrade with the last PowerMac PPC's sold because I know all my Mac apps will still run on it. Contrary to Apple's claims of a simply recompile, many software packages are going to need a lot of rework to run on Mac Intel boxes.
You are describing one of the episodes that Whedon had to write to keep FOX happy. This was actually the replacement pilot for FOX executives who couldn't understand the real pilot.
You should watch the DVD set for the real episodes.
If you don't know about these problems, you need to move out of your parent's basement and join the real world.
Just the few PowerMac G5 owners I know of at work, there have been collectively a dozen motherboards replaced and about 3 dozen cases of having the CPUs replaced. Many serviced in their first month of use.
Funnily enough, though, it seems like Slashdotters like to remember the initial projection, not the retraction,
Dude. It has been TWO YEARS since then. I don't care if Steve made a retraction last year. I was to see some performance momentum on the G5.
OK, so they missed the 3GHz goal in 2004. Why are they no where near that in 2005?
Apple keeps bragging about how great the G5 is, but PowerMac G5's are crapping out all over the place and Apple support keeps trying to convice users that the issue is with their RAM and hard drives. Pretty lame! PowerMacs have been rock solid before the G5.
The PowerMac G5's suck! I'm glad I bought my Dual G4 1.25GHz for $1,299 when they started clearing them out after the G5 was announced.
The PowerMac G5 case design is nothing but a big window fan. That's the last thing I want on my desk. Two years now and they don't seem to be looking at at least a low power G5 that allows you to use all that case space for internal hard drives instead of fans.

When I was a kid (1987) it cost $1 to see a movie in the theater.
Bondage to proprietary formats isn't free.
OOo 2.0 is mostly a rewrite that will need to be ported from square one.
You must be kidding.
Even major corporations can't handle the cost of the bandwidth to be slashdotted.

Of course not. You have more important things to worry about. Like your parents turning off the power to the basement.

Too bad you didn't read the Wiki you linked to. You would have found that Geisha's ARE NOT PROSTITUTES.

Slashdotters are less interested in the truth
Are you sure interested in the truth?

Send all the students home with OpenOffice.org CDs and they can use OpenOffice at home as well as at school.
Since when is Microsloth media or Real considered in any way free?
What does a "Do Not Touch" sign have to do with the topic?
And why are you turning off screens at the Apple Store?
You'd be able to cook breakfast on it. Or at least warm your cup of coffee. ;-)
Now you know why to avoid Blockbuster and go with Netflix.
I think you are a bit confused.
OpenOffice.org is like Mozilla. I big pile of stinking code.
NeoOffice/J is like Firefox. An app that regular users can easily use on their platfrom.
You need to get out more. NeoOffice/J is updated monthly and is using the latest release OOo 1.1.x code.
I'll get back up to my regular usage soon.
Java is crossplatform. Runs on Windows 2000 AND Windows XP.
"should pass Voyager in quality"
That's not saying much. Voyager sucked and should have never been a series in the first place.
