  5. Re:Did anyone actually LOOK at the libraries???? on What is the Best Way to Handle a GPL Violation? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, this is gonna be another "me too". Yeah, why not use java.util.prefs.Base64.java instead of "stealing" gpl-code?? And how the hell is one supposed to know if anyone stole some java-code, when bytecoded, different implementations looks pretty much the same anyway....I have seen "different" implementations of encode/decoding (crypto)that is almost the same... first I thought that some stole frome the others, but thinking and tinkering about whith the code, I found that the bytecode becomes VERY similar even when the source look different(yeah, the code did the same thing in the end)(used obfuscators).

It doesnt seem to matter how 'fast' machine I have, I still spend my time waiting on some processing to be done, e.g now I am waiting for nokia devel suite(j2me) to get to the point where shit 'appens (prob some DataInputStream related) and see what the verbose output will say, have been waiting for hours, veeerryyy slow action there.. My point beeing, well likely spend our time waiting in the future as well...maybe its a good thing..dont feel so bad when I am drinking coffie and kick back.. :) By the way...Merry christmas!

    I have been following jboss since when jboss.org was on w2000 and I can't say I am surprised.

    I am developing j2ee stuff and am only using jonas nowdays, I will not send any money to jboss inc(Sorry to say, I did that once in the beginning..), I will not help them in their quest of getting filthy rich on the expense of naive developers (and users). I have learned that recognize destructive ppl,they always tend to be VERY aggressive towards ppl that critizise them, and usually they have a strange relationship towards truth. As I said, keep an eye on aggressive ppl, they are aggressive for a reason...

There is not, nor ought there be anything but Gates-software controlled information...O..sweet lord, the possibilities..like the way one can control (through selective 'information') ppl, just like when convince THEM(mindless idiots) that Irak had anything to do with 9/11, dont even have to say it, just make ppl belive it..PPL ARE SO EASY!!

    Color code?? Why _color_ coding? what does that mean?? Will there be some actually coloring involved??

    What kind of kindergarten-teachers are running that company?? Why not use characters, e.g "l-o-w" and "h-i-g-h" etc to describe the levels??

    Or is it that they want to hide it? Will it be printed on something visible to the passengers?? The boarding card? The only reason for mapping I can see, is that they want to hide the information to the passangers, - a mapping to hide the security level? Hmmm... I got a red dot, and that white old fart got a green one..

    I once made an 'IQ' test where the objects differed in color...and guess what, I came out looking like an idiot(no comments please..). Maybe the idiot who made the 'IQ'-test wasn't aware of the fact that there exists 'color-blind' people?? HELLO!! Even if he wasn't aware of the fact(some ppl are just ignorant), he (with his mensa-qualified IQ) should have been able to do some basic research before classifying people. What a fine example of a oxymoron(or just a moron). But I digress, back to the color-coding scheme...

    Unless they really need some kind of mapping (they want to hide their opinion of their customer) , they could use numbers: (ok, I'll give some examples for that too...) '0' (a one end of the scale) and '3' (for the other end..). Now, how hard is that??
