This will be used to create another pointless layer of abstraction away from the real (non-eclipse) world. At the end of every day I am do glad I don't have to touch that POS for another 18 hours. Consider this: during development eclipse loads classes directly from class files, while applications operationally load from jar files. There is no way to tell eclipse to load its classes in exactly the same was as an operational system, and no way to know for sure which classes will be loaded.
I have a nice little PXE netboot environment on my home server. Currently it supports:
ubuntu-11.04-desktop-i386
ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386
systemrescuecd-x86-2.2.0
debian
GParted Live
Every time a new release comes out, or I find a new distro which supports PXE, I unpack it in/var/lib/tftpboot and add it to the menu. The debian installer loads first and includes a neat menu system which makes it easy to install different distributions. When I bought my new netbook I naturally checked that it supports PXE.
My son was born after we stopped using our VHS tapes and he thinks they must have stored thousands of movies, given their size. And yeah, blank DVDs are now easier top buy and I usually netboot the ubuntu livecd anyway,
What does that say about the wisdom of building terrestrial nuclear power plants?
We need to build a impenetrable force field around every power plant?
Good passive safety. Even if the diesels had kept working I would not have considered the situation safe. Convective cooling or a thermosyphon would be safer.
A French colleague told me that French nuclear reactors are built on rivers so that reactors can be passively cooled by flowing water. The same degree of passive cooling seems to have been provided by a thermosyphon on one of the Japanese reactors.
I am fairly happy with unity but it does have bugs and I think this is a result of it being a fairly new application. Gnome2 was more mature and development was slower, so it had fewer bugs. The best bug I saw in the 11.04 version of unity was when it got confused between the top and bottom Y coordinates of my terminal window and rendered it upside down, hanging from the top of my laptop screen, instead of the right way up at the bottom of my external monitor. Many lulz were had on that day.
You might have a point, if QANTAS was not an international airline, flying all over the world.
Well there still is the bit about the CASA being serious about safety, and QANTAS do fly a lot in Australia. More than half of a flight from Melbourne to Singapore is in Australian airspace for example. But I think they are losing commercially because Australians don't feel the need to go to the UK as much any more, and Asian airlines have an advantage there. Losing commercially means they try to compete...

I bet a lot of those pascal compiler were written in C.
Turbo Pascal was small and fast because it was written in assembly.
The main advantage of assembly being that it is hard to write. At the other extreme java is so easy to write that coding never actually stops. The software grows to fit the time and space available.

Long time gnome user here. I have been using unity since about two weeks before Ubuntu 11.10 came out. It still has some strange bugs and I think Ubuntu will have to work hard to get it ready for an LTS release. But it works for me as a gnome replacement. It is definitely an easier UI for non skilled users. For the rest of us there is still fvwm;).
Also Qantas Flight 30 was very nearly lost when an oxygen tank exploded. A guy who used to work on 747s showed me how close the valve at the top of that tank came to piercing the central fuel tank of the '47. Survival in that case was pure luck and not very probable.
Its mainly because Australia is a pretty safe place to fly. Traffic density is low. The air is dry. Ice on the ground is almost unknown. Civil aviation bureaucrats are justifiably psycho about safety.

Eclipse already has about seven programming languages built into it in the form of custom xml schemas misused as procedural scripting languages.

Oh wait
I haven't needed to, at home anyway. Around the house we use laptops and they are fairly low spec i386 devices.

Problem is that gnome3 seems to need a version of gtk which will not work with gnome2. Clever, eh?
Yeah thats weird.

Canonical and the GNOME tools fucked up a good thing that was GNOME 2
I believe its still there.
You can install any desktop you want on ubuntu. I have fvwm available along side unity and I am sure xfce, etc, would work fine.
Technical people aren't going to pay Canonical for support. Ubuntu has to be targeted at a market which will spend money on an operating system.

This is simply a case of fish that have a certain trait mating and passing on that trait to offspring, not a case of spontaneous evolution.
But thats what evolution is. A small fraction of those traits will have come from mutations, not from the previous generation.
Soon totally new organisms will crawl out of that river and demand welfare and voting rights.

Not 100% sure, but I think at the proposed site there isn't a GSM signal to worry about.
Yeah Australia is great like that (:
