  2. Java! on Majority Of Customers Prefer Blu-Ray · · Score: 1

    There is a bunch of Java programers that stand to make some money on blue ray winning out. Depending on how hard it is to execute code on these set-tops it could open a huge home-brew scene...

    I like OOo... but this just isn't true. Have you actually moved the file back and forth between Word? Even RTF files get screwed up on the round trip... Have you ever tryed to use an excel based Expense report template, the kind that a lot of businesses use with scripts and such, they get really messed up... Either you are lieing or you know something I dont.

    ...foreach... thats your best argument... because the other two just arnt true... public class Speaker { public void callTalk(Object o) { o.getClass().getMethod("talk", new Object[0]).invoke(); } } And threads arnt broken... except that they are still backward compatible with java 1... where they were broken but he methods are depricated and have been for many many years.

    If we are lucky the problem will prevent more of your posts... Slashdot is really ugly html, table based layout, no css, mixed case tags... it makes me want to vomit just thinking about it, if working on slashcode was my job I would be fired...

    Pure C... as in a program that reads input from the keybord and prints crap out on a console... But once you have to open and manipulate files... do wild and crazy stuff like make a window with a menu and buttons... akkk... you have to deal with your underlying os in some way... Wouldnt it be nice to know what libraries you could call on every system that runs your program and know exactly what it will do...

    I just feel like at some point someone will make an argument backed up with facts... Java works really well. It looks okay in linux, gtk look and feel is not great but this is linux and for the most part we are used to every app looking different, having different file dialogs and such, and gnome look and feel is very new and not quite finished. On the other hand windows looks and feel looks just like windows xp apps (which you cant really say for ported gtk apps, can you, I bet kde is better but I don't really use any on windows).

    And other then that "porting" applications is no work at all unless you are doing something "wrong". It is fast and just works (I know linux users hate it when that happens). The only reall issue with java is that it uses a lot of memory unless you are really carefull about how many objects you construct, and cleaning up complicated and confusing references to them that all programs eventually have. And really this only looks bad becuase all java programs start out with 10MB of memory used just so the jre can do its thing. I hava feeling that this will get better over time, and I have an even stronger feeling that this really wont matter in the long run... --junkgui

    When it is available from xiamin, then it will just work... The problem is when you use Mandrake cooker you are asking for trouble (and if you don't know what you are doing you can screw things up), it even says that they are development versions and make no promise to work right. If we updated windows every time microsoft made a new nightly build I bet things might get a little screwed up. Linux is not centraly controlled... you can not have a unifide release for every distrobution, so when gnome is released you either have to install it (and know what you are doing) or wait for your distrobution to package it up and do the dirty work for you... Wait a few days and there will be something that you can download that will just work!
