In other news, today there was 1 in 1 X 10^43 chance that you and your anti-matter self would meet. What a close call. Please be on the look out for your anti-matter self.
I have been using the Eclipse Open Source IDE for a while and it integrates very well with CVS. It actually even adds some of the features many posts are looking for. And for you Java nerds (like me) check out the Easy Struts Plugin it will save you hours writing those action, form beans, etc. Happy coding.
Why do people continue to point to bugtraq as the measure for "Which OS is more secure?" That is so far from the truth... The key thing you are forgetting is the "bug severity" factor. I would say that in general Windows has less bugs than Linux (On bugtraq) but those bugs are more servere. Thus in my opinion, Linux is still more secure. You are also forgetting that hardening a Linux box is much easier than haddening a Widnows box. I can make my Linux box very secure with very little effort. Example: Turn off all services except ssh.
Please stop pointing to buqtraq and saying: Windows has less security issues than Linux, therefore Windows is more secure than Linux.
Ok, this bugs me... This guy title's his article "Top 10 Things Wrong With Linux" that would be great if these "flaws" were actually linux flaws. Not one of them is a flaw if you run Linux solely as server. I think he should have titled his article "10 Things I hate About Linux On The Desktop". There should be a clear distinction between Linux on the server and Linux on the Desktop. BTW: If you tell me that you still have these issues with Linux on the server, my response: You are a complete idiot for running X on your server. That is just a bad idea. I don't care what cool firewall you have in front of your server. Don't do it!
Since I browse at +3 I hope I won't have to read this pathetic post much longer. This is just stupid... To point out a few:
install literally dozens of setuid-root applications
Last time I checked, unless I am root, I could not change, or over-write any setuid root app on my box. And this is how it's been for a long time.
Setuid root applications are a necessary evil because the UNIX security model is outdated
I could say so much more about this piece of shit, but all I really need to say is fingerd - WHO THE HELL RUNS THAT STILL?
Remote root holes are everywhere
Every distribution I know of has some way to automatically update your system every night without intervention. Holy Shit! Do any average Windows users do that?
Would someone please mod this down? I am so sick of reading post by people who have no clue what they are talking about.
How many people do you know who habitually run their Linux systems as root?
Overall the article was good. I agree that now with StarOffice, Mozilla, Ximian, the nearly 2 click install from SuSE 8, etc. There really is no good reason to deal with all the Windows BS. Anyways, the one problem I had was that Roblimo was talking about the average Windows user. And I believe that the average Windows user would be a lot more likely to run things as root than learn how to use sudo. How many install instructions say: Become root, then run: make install Without people knowing what that means and why it can be bad, their systems are just as easy a target for viruses as Windows computers. Either way, it's an education thing.
Writers, artists, musicians, programmers, and etc. should do what they love... To me programming is an art. And even if it won't pay the bills, I will write code. I belive the best music comes from those who actually love to write music. I think that musicians having to struggle to pay the bills will help filter out some of that trash they call "Boy Bands".
Wow, that's impressive. I wish I could drive across the US at 38mph. Wierd, it seems like that would take 3 years, since Just driving across town at 38mph seems to take all day.
I can't help but miss those days... Reading these posts and the article really made me realize what a great time in life it was when there was BBS's with Tradewars, FIDONET, The Pit, USurper, etc. We would have a weekly BBSer's meeting, and my high school friends would all make fun of me for going. But there was something special about those people. They were like me... They enjoyed my presence and I enjoyed theirs. There is something about a community where people are allowed to be themselves. It was very freeing. I was able to be the person I really loved being (The real me) there... On the BBS's and at the BBSer's meetings. I really do miss those days.

The JCP is the way the Java platform evolves. It's an open organization of international Java developers and licensees whose charter is to develop and revise Java technology specifications, reference implementations, and technology compatibility kits. Both Java technology and the JCP were originally created by Sun Microsystems, however, the JCP has evolved from the informal process that Sun used beginning in 1995, to a formalized process overseen by representatives from many organizations across the Java community.
Come on people, do your research before you blab this stuff.
Your post is funny but this is a real issue. The company I work for wantJAVA had to change all their content to be In accordance with Sun's Trademark Policy. So now our site is covered with "[TM]". We also can't even use the name wantJAVA anymore.
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666" (Rev. 13:16-18)
That still does not change the fact that Flash is NOT a W3C standard, thus it should not be treated like a web standard. Most Open Source developers like to follow standards, since Flash isn't one, use SVG!

Actually they prefer Jetty, which seems to be a bit faster (Just expierence, not benchmarks). The default JBoss Releases come with Jetty.

So on a serious note, does anyone have any good ideas about how to make our air travel more safe or will there always be risk associated with flying?

JCP - Java Community Process
To take right from their website:

I guess they need to protect their trademarks.

Wow, That is the most brilliant comment I have ever seen on Slashdot!!! People are so against change... Here is a good quote about change:
"I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better."
-G. C. Lichtenberg
People must learn to deal with change.
"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
-Maya Angelou
Lastly, My favorite on the subject:
"If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living."
-Gail Sheehy
We need a Java song!
I am hoping that Na-nana-na hey-hey-hey good-bye isn't an option.
I would rather see We are the Champions, Yes We are the Champions, Of the World!
How about Postegres or mySQL + Linux + JBoss? That is the most formidable combination I can think of, and it's free (as in beer & speech).
