I don't think it's GCJ they're worried about, it's Mono. Mono does the write once run anywhere thing, has better (native) look and feel, and is open source. I think Sun has been surprised by the speed of Mono development, which they now realise they could have harnessed for Java if they were willing to open it up. Sun is in real danger here, because if Mono continues to develop at the same pace it will leave Java far behind.
You could make it a straight interpreter rather than a fancypants "JIT compiler". I'd expect that would simplify things, though at a cost to performance
It seems to me there's a completely obvious solution to this: only allow patches against their version to be distributed, not already-modified versions. And don't let modified versions use the trademark. That way it would be completely obvious which was the real java.
Because kopete is better and better integrated, and KOffice can run on 64mb machines. Not all platforms have gnome and OOo. The aim of KDE is not to be a window manager but a complete desktop environment. Which means everything you want to do, you should be able to do with a kde app.

KDE 3.4 Released

But it was for a few minutes primarily bsd, with the bsd red colour scheme.
Actually it performs better with every x.y release, although the new features will weigh against that for real speed. But they're taking a breath ready to make KDE 4 the most bloaty ever. (Disclaimer: I'm actually a KDE fan, I do know qt4 brings a lot of speed improvements, but I also expect this to be true at least of the 4.0 release)
But you're wasting your money getting a mouse you won't use included, and you still can't use command-click to do other useful things you want to. I value simplicity but I value functionality more.
Why not compare their Turion with an intel laptop with an integrated ATI chipset instead? They're not as common as the ones with intel's own chipset but there's still plenty of them around.
I don't have a problem with the mini, but if you're saying that anyone can put together a system that's almost as good for 1/3 the price, then they seem a pretty poor deal to me. I know I would never leave the original hardware alone anyway, and the styling of the case and things is not worth $350.
The new standard allows devices to act as peers and communicate with each other. Speeds will keep rising for both I'm pretty sure, Firewire just happens to have had the most recent revision. My 4-year-old motherboard boots USB fine as does every one from the last five years I've ever seen, and I have yet to see a firewire-booting one.

With the F/OSS project, if you do find a bug, you can fix it yourself. With VB6 now, if you discover a new bug you're SOL.
Lol. People have been going on about how we're all going to migrate to thin clients since before I was born. It's not happening, and it won't happen.
I don't think patching is necessary any more with 2.6, is it? If you turn on extended attributes you get an option for POSIX ACLs.
They'd be worried because it does what java does and does it better. Really.
True, but when it results in something that sounds this bad I think it's time to skip the convention.
Oh yes. But does "Kubuntu" sound anything like a real word in any of them? Gnubuntu or something would work.
Many of the gnome ones are worse. And sometimes it works out, like with Kasablanca. But the "Ku" just doesn't sound like a good sound at all.
I'm aware of where it comes from, but still, it seems a really horrible name. I've heard good things about Mepis though I haven't installed it myself.

Kaffe is up to what, java 1.2 with a bit of 1.3 compatiability? A free 1.5 implementation would be a lot better.

Unlike most previous versions, no, it's not being ported because QT4 is going to be available natively for windows.

It's the most popular desktop environment for BSD? It lets KDE and GNOME stories be put in separate sections so we don't get quite as many flamewars?

I know linux naming conventions are pretty bad, but really, this takes the biscuit.
Hey, you sound kinda nice, perhaps we should get to know each other better...

OK, fine (I've had my share of problems with both arts and alsa) but kmix, the kde volume tool, still saves and restores sound levels.

You keep using that word. I don't think it means what you think it means. Or something.
