This was said as if it was an afterthought. So Sun should fold and allow M$ to rape Java too? Sorry but I'm a big Java fan. I use it almost every single day of my life and I (For one) would really hate to M$ get their dirty hands on it.
A few months ago it was announced that R700 million was being put aside (As part of the education budget) just to provide ablution facilities at many schools. The South African minister of education said that he doubted that R700 million would be enough. So we now weight the importance of being able to give our children toilets against equipping libraries with computers?
It is a wonderful thing that the net is having the influence that it is having, it's just a pity that more people can't share in that influence.
I can only talk for South Africa because that's where I live.
For the last 10 years, the ANC has promised the people of South Africa housing (Apart from many other things), so apart from their "legit purpose" they also have to provide the housing they have promised. At the end of the day there just isn't any money to equip public libraries with computers.
It's just a pity that in many poorer countries the public libraries are still a very long way from being able to afford computers. In most African countries for example, governments first priority is to feed, clothe and house people and public libraries (If there are any) come very low down on the list of priorities.
before someone mods my previous post as a Troll, I just think we should celebrate choice and diversity rather than turning it into an X versus Y issue. Regardless of whether it's an editor, a browser or a graphics application, let's just be thankful that we have a choice and let's not judge anyone because of the choice they make.
Why does it have to become a VI versus JOE issue? I've used VI and JOE and my personal preference is JOE. Even if JOE isn't on every single *nix box it town, personally I'm glad to hear about the new release and I'll sure be using it.
I'm sure that the article will give OO.o some good ideas of where it's strengths and weaknesses lie, potentially producing future versions that are more likely to go head-to-head with M$ office.
The chip combines an existing RISC (reduced instruction set computing) architecture with a large reconfigurable area of programmable logic called the Instruction Set Extension Fabric...
I don't get it. It seems to me as if what gets put into the "large reconfigurable area" would almost be a macro that would still call the standard instruction set of the RISC processor. So what makes it so much more efficient?
Well, if he can get an award for "inventing" something that has been around for thousands of years, I think I should get an award for inventing the wheel. My latest version is round!
If you take it intravenously...

So I can carry on driving my Linux powered Merc without having to worry about SCO stealing the wheels. Or am I jumping the gun?
...and, oh yeah, Java...

Please supply a flow diagram so we can understand what your script does!
... and if anyone codes like that, they deserve to be hacked.

Yes... Sadly this is very true.

This poor guy has been stranded in space since 1990! I really think we should ALL make an effort to contribute!
Errrr... Or is that the space between his ears?
Ooooops! I mean innovate!
Mmmmmmm... Just hope I don't get my wirelesses crossed!
