Add OSGi to the Java list. The entire concept is a stroke of brilliance, and it meshes so perfectly with Maven that I can't think of a better way to structure a large system than Maven+OSGi.
Pretty much this. OSGi and Maven made me like Java. I used to say that C# was Java done right, but OSGi and Maven opened up an entirely new world for me.
I don't think in terms of Java programs or even packages anymore. They're Maven artifacts and OSGi bundles (if you're structuring your projects right, there should be a 1:1 correspondence between the two, not counting POM-only parent projects).
Wake me when C# gets something as cool as Maven and OSGi.
With terrestrial TV and radio, every station in the area broadcasts at the same time, so there's a hard maximum on the amount of people who can send content to you at all. With the Internet, you can pick and choose who gets to send data through your line. You may only get X number of "channels" at once, but you can swap them out for other "channels" whenever you like.
Seriously, if you have a few thousand Slashdotters posting it in the talkbacks, the moderators will have to spend all day banning people. Remember, it'll only take a few seconds for one of us to post it; whoever has to remove thousands of posts and ban thousands of people will have their day ruined.
I wish AICN had balls like the Inquirer. The INQ laughs at embargoes and openly mocks people who try to enforce them.
By the way, Ron Paul is one of these people. Read his vile, disgusting We The People act. Paul just wants the federal government to stay away from the totalitarian state governments he dreams of.
I've noticed that a large amount of the "Leave me alone and keep the government SMALL" Red-Staters only want the federal government to leave them alone so their state governments can force their religion on people.
These are the same people who threw a hissy fit about Lawrence v. Texas. These are the same people who supported segregation at the state government level. They only want small federal government because they don't want the federal government preventing their totalitarian state governments from being totalitarian.
Sure, there are some genuine libertarians, but you'd be surprised at how many people want totalitarian state & local governments with no federal interference.
Zoning laws are morally repugnant, and I applaud everyone who violates them.
All she said was "I think Mr. Deeb has crossed a line somewhere". That cunt couldn't cite any actual regulation.
I hope her personal life gets fucked up beyond belief for this. I wonder if she's married and/or has kids. If so, it would be fun to turn her husband against her, get him to divorce her, and make her lose custody of the kids.
Actually, fascists hate consumerism just as much as the communists.
Remember, another word for fascism is "national socialism". It's communism mixed with nationalism. Read bsDaemon's post too--the corporations in corporatism aren't corporations in the modern sense.
It's not just competition, and Via hasn't been a big player in years.
Via hasn't had good penetration in the Intel market since the Apollo Pro 133 days. The P4 era all but locked them out.
Via did pretty well (and at times, utterly dominated) in the AMD market until nForce4 came along--while it was common knowledge that nForce4 was horribly buggy, nVidia had better name recognition, was first to market with PCI-E, and had SLI. But Via managed to stay afloat despite this; they had a distinct budget niche. This wasn't the end, and Via would still be in the chipset business if that was the worst of it.
The end came when AMD's acquisition of ATI put Via in the same position they were in with Intel. To be fair, nVidia got stabbed in the back the same way. Both Via and nVidia had their turn as the de facto standard AMD chipset manufacturer, and the switch between them happened natrually; AMD buying ATI took it away from both of them by force. AMD's betrayal of their third-party chipset makers was galling. Not only is Via quitting, but there are rumors of nVidia doing the same thing.
AMD and Intel are fast becoming the only chipset makers in the market. AMD ate ATI, nVidia assassinated ULi just as they were making a comeback, Via is pulling out, and nVidia might be pulling out too. That leaves SiS as the lone third party.
I used to be a big Via fan, back during the K7 and early K8 days. This saddens me, even though I buy 100% Intel nowadays (Intel CPU, Intel chipset, Intel motherboard).
Man, AMD buying ATI was possibly the worst possible decision they could have made. They raped their third-party chipset support, drove off Linux users en masse, and blew all their capital on an acquisition instead of the R&D they desperately needed, hence why Core 2 has lapped Phenom several times.

Been doing a lot of Java development lately (for work)--NetBeans has a decent GUI editor and runs perfectly fine on Linux.
Except there's a huge difference.

My fault--I misread the headline. By one letter. Thought it said "faster", not "fatter".
To be fair, I completely misread the headline. I thought it said "faster" instead of "fatter".
Firefox is a bloated pig. Why not compare it to Opera?
Unless I win the lottery or something, I intend to keep working until I die.
I'm not even going to bother with retirement. Yeah, I'll stop working if I strike it filthy rich, but that's it.
I live in Texas. How's McCain not going to win Texas?
Anyway, I can't stand either Obama or McCain on the issues, so why would I vote for either? If I'm not voting for a third party, I'm not voting.
I refuse to vote for either McCain or Obama.
I might vote for Barr. Or I might just stay home.
I've had an 8500GT (G86) since December. I'm now counting down the days until it goes kablooey. Yay.
Usually when I hear "blown engine", I think supercharged, not broken.
Wow.
Now I realized how much I miss After Dark.
Let's all post it in the talkbacks en masse.

Just drop a sliver of pure potassium in a bowl of water.
Kaboom!

Is this her home phone or her business phone?
I hope her house gets picketed.

I haven't flown since 1999.
This isn't enough to make me even consider flying ever again.
How can I get myself put on the no-fly list? I want to make it official.
Agreed.
I say fuck both the Democrats and the Republicans, because they've certainly fucked us.
I don't think it's so much a racist agenda as it is a "let's see just how much we can shock people" agenda.
