If you're talking about Cyprus, then you don't know anything. If you have read some kind of history, Cyprus was an Ottoman state since 1571. It had been an Ottoman state to 1878. That's 307 years. (I bet you won't accuse Turkey, for Ottoman Empire's capture of Cyprus in the 16th century and FROM VENETIANS not from Greeks!).
Starting from 1960s, Greek Cypriots started killing Turkish Cypriots (their Greek Cypriot leader has confessed this officially the first time a week or so ago) and in 1974, The Cyprus Peace Operation has taken place.
I wouldn't be surprised if you are not aware of the fact that many languages can be compiled into Java Virtual Machine.

Java 1.5 vs C#
·
· Score: 5, Insightful
I code C# for a living, so according to your definition, sold (or more appropriately rented) my soul to the devil. (This does not change the fact that I personally prefer free/open source technology. My PDA, my media players, my home operating system are all free/open source based.)
Java is not any more closer than C# to open source technologies. Sun doesn't like open source, just as Microsoft.
It's a very well known fact that Java has been a base (or in other words "the" figure) for Microsoft while developing C#, but that does not imply that "Java is good, C# is bad" or vice versa.
I would be happier personally to code in Java, but professional life yields to disqualify who resists new technology.
Your choice of programming language is not your religion, and it can change continuously through your life. Just like your operating system.
Yes, this is one of the important points we (so called zealots, including myself) do not want to believe when we come home and fire up Konqueror/Mozilla etc. and jump in.
At work, I'm sure that many other Slashdotters are in communication with customers about open technologies.
For me, "open" may mean that it's totally hackable, modifiable and should include "fun".
For Joe, "open" may mean that it's possible to code to make it able to talk with his new XML based ERP system.
For Jane, "open" may mean that it's possible to save in an spreadsheet of office package X at home and embed it in the word processor of office package Y at work.
And so on..
We do have "our" preferences for the meaning of "open", but in the real world, we must achieve the fact that what we call "wide" open, may be restrictive for another person. This is what, at first, we should respect. Then we may have a peaceful settlement to all "open" wars around here or there.
Some viruses (retroviruses/retrovirii) even don't have DNAs, they have have single strand RNA (ssRNA). These viruses inject the enzyme reverse transcriptase along with the RNA.
Virus DNA is transcribed and translated to make capsid proteins and reverse transcriptase later.
Maybe this is the alien code we're looking for, just something different of a genetic code, emulating human DNA behavior, strange.
I've given up Star Trek after the original series. The next generation never feels that much fascinating, even though the original series seem pretty much premature when compared to recent ones.
When the price of Sony Ericsson P800 had fallen down to about 350 Euros (without any service agreement etc.) two months ago, I've bought one. It does have a camera and even though I don't use it, it doesn't hurt (It's nice to have a shot of car plates named PHP etc.).
It runs Symbian as its OS, but the only thing I'm mad is, it only synchronizes with M$ software (Outlook etc.).
A phone that is more than a phone might be life saving, and anyway, even if you don't use it for something serious, how on earth a geek would refuse a smart phone? And think about it when it runs Linux, wow..
In Turkey, a product should have at least 2 years of production warranty (including imported ones), therefore those Maxtor drives have 2 years of warranty here. (I think that should be the same in the EU).
Other than better compression, MPEG4 implements scenes. Any object in a scene like two talking man and a ringing phone can be separate. Therefore, any object can be removed or replaced afterwards, like the phone or the two man.
Think about when you shoot LOTR with Aragorn being another guy. After shooting, you can replace him with the guy you want, without actually interacting with other objects in the stream/scene, like replacing the icon on your desktop.
The world is not perfect enough, though. Implementing such a scene is a pain, therefore it is not that widely used.
Unfortunately another OSNews article about Slackware Linux. From the article:
Michael Hall is a freelance Linux consultant and web developer based in Alice Springs in Australia's Northern Territory. When not hacking Linux in some way,...
Is this guy really a Linux guy? No, please don't tell me that.
Slackware users are generally addicted ones, and (as a long time Slackware user, since 1996) I'm seeing that Patrick (is the main and in many cases the only Slackware developer) is taking Slackware to the modern world without giving up any classical Slackware ideology (Simplicity, security etc.).
Many people looking over my desktop (with plain KDE 3.2.3, Noia icons and Plastik theme) is being shocked by the responsiveness (of the 2.6 series with mm patches) and the eye candy. They don't believe that this is Linux. They're used to the ugly (please no flamebait mods) Bluecurve of Red Hat.
No I'm not against any graphical configuration tools or this and that. I'm just against breaking the rule of changing the default UNIX tradition of configuration files. Any graphical tool should be like Webmin, which leaves the structure as it is.
Slackware is beautiful with its simplicity, please leave it as it is.
What? You say that VB is readable? If's and End If's or this kinds of blocks are totally unreadable by me. They make a total mess. Infinitely many characters just for opening and closing a block?
Holy C's (and derivatives) block approach { and } are much better read by me.
I can't imagine why and how people say Visual Basic is easy and readable. It's a total mass and mess of unneeded blocks.
If you're a Microsoft guy (no troll here), why don't you go with C# and get some benefit from what Sun has been doing the research and Microsoft is implementing?
Win4Lin does not emulate the hardware (including mainly the CPU, as it's the hardest) but instead it maps Windows (or DOS) calls to Linux kernel calls. That's why it's blazingly fast.
Then check out Microïds. There are still many people who makes game that require some IQ.

If DJB were not such an ass, his software would be on everywhere now. He is smart, you can feel that. But come on, he thinks that if he has thought about something, it's right and it cannot be disproved. You simply can't. He won't accept a thing.
Look at where daemontools installs itself, and of course the other thingies from him, like djbdns and qmail. The default directories cannot be changed (/service,/package etc.), and if you change them from the source, you violate his license!
He's still refusing to fix the extern int errno; problem, because he thinks that it is not a problem. (Everybody should follow his standards, not glibc or anything like that) He still does not apply QMAILSCANNER patch into qmail. You need to go and get netqmail for that, or apply the patches it provices manually. You cannot distribute a patched qmail, therefore you cannot distribute a proper qmail package for your distribution without begging him!
djbdns assumes that you have a.ns.yourdomain.com b.ns.yourdomain.com etc. The add-ns program does not even get any argument about that. (Of course, you can edit the files manually).
And as far as I know, many distributions kicked his software out, including several *BSDs.
Just like everyone else thinks that the capital of Turkey is Istanbul, while it is Ankara (since 1920, officially 1923).
(Istanbul is the biggest city anyway).
