Green was one of Sun's key witnesses, arguing that Microsoft tried to undermine Java by shipping an incompatible version of the JVM (Java Virtual Machine).
I have countless reasons to hate Microsoft but their JVM is not one of them
The Microsoft JVM was fully compatible with Sun's JDK 1.1. Sun merely disliked the MS implementation of java because it included extensions: Mainly the ability to deal with COM objects easily and the availability of an MS specific GUI api called AFC while Sun was developing JFC/Swing.
Sun claimed such features could harm the portability of java. But extending a programming language is not a crime. For instance OSX include a Java binding to its Coca GUI api and GCJ can be used to compile java to native code. Sun could also decide that theses extensions are harming Java and sue Apple or GNU.
Developers are not dump. They can still use the core language/api if they wish to. But such extensions are often useful.
The real problem here is that a popular programming language is controlled by a company. Theses days, many programmers are afraid that Microsoft could control 3rd party implementation of their.NET platform. But Sun did the same when they sued Microsoft.
Many of the american pilots are on amphetamines. Most pilots on really long or late night missions use amphetamines...
We became aware of this after Canadians soldiers were accidentally shot by an US aircraft in Afghanistan.
Oh, and "Jane", if you're reading this: I didn't reply to thank you for your e-mail, because you left your real.com e-mail adress and I didn't want to risk your employer getting it.
Now they know that something has leaked from the compagny mail server and was archived along with the sender name.
Acording to netcraft the SCO web site is hosted on an OpenBSD or NetBSD box. But why don't they use Unixware, Solaris, Irix or anything 'Unix'?
I know that some arrangement was made in a previous Novell vs BSD case and that SCO will probably not go after BSD again. But why don't they use their own products.
