  1. Re:Websphere, Open Source, WTF? on How IBM (and Open Source) Won eBay · · Score: 1
    WebSphere App Dev Studio is based on Eclipse, which is open source.

    WAS uses several open source components in addition to Apache, such as the previously mention Xerces, Xalan, etc, and parts of Tomcat (the Jasper JSP compiler).

    And Jasper, the JSP compiler from TomCat

  3. Re:More IP address !=more ease on IPv4 vs IPv6: The Road Ahead · · Score: 1
    Huh?

    If anything, the vast address space of IPv6 will mean that every device can have its own, permanent, hard coded address, just in case it ever wants to get on the net.

    Name resolution will still be a problem.

    Actually, the Hare-Clark electoral system is nothing to do with a computer program. It's the voting system that is used in the ACT (and Tasmania, for that matter).

    I would have thought that the sentence you quote, "with all source code released un the [...] GPL" would have been a bit of a tip off.

  6. Why does it have to copy MS? on Preview Helix Code's "Evolution" · · Score: 2
    Why is it that every KDE app (and KDE itself) feel it has to slavishly copy MS and their look and feel?

    I'm sure magellan will be just wonderful, but does it have to look so much like outlook?

    Actually, if you subscribe to Dawkins' school of thought, it's about the survival of genes.

    Individuals are just survival capsules for genes, and species are a more or less irrelevant construct of convenience for humans.

  8. Re:The Lotus/Linux Development Environment on Linux Intranet Application and Collaboration Software? · · Score: 1
    Just a small clarification... The Linux port of Domino was actually initiated as an "underground" project within Iris long before the "papa IBM came down" and main-streamed it.

    Otherwise, and excellent post!
