  1. SWT is faster than AWT on Netbeans 4.1 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The fact that Eclipse is built on SWT and NetBeans is based on AWT itself speaks volumes. From TFA "I have felt that Eclipse is getting slower over the versions, while, at least the word on the street is, NetBeans has evolved in the other direction." Maybe this is the author's perception, but again, I am not sure if NetBeans will perform faster than Eclipse with equal types of plug-ins loaded.

  2. Isn't the WWW full of them...? on MS Invites Security Questions · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Almost EVERY website that deals with security have commented on M$FT and their security. That would be a good place for Mr.Ben English to start. Not to troll, but I think this is just another PR stunt by M$FT!

  3. Kudos to NASA and team! on Mars Rover Opportunity Working Free · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is great news... The rovers have been going on WAAY beyond their intended lifespan... Maybe we all can learn from the excellent design/descipline that the Engineers used to create these wonders!

  6. Sunrocket is in trouble? on U.S. Government Issues Report on VoIP Security Holes · · Score: 1

    Dang! Looks like its time to get rid of my SunRocket account! Anyone know how secure are those vOIP boxes? For e.g. I can log on to my friend's box with the default password 'welcome' (only for SunRocket).

  7. How can the Chinese become a software superpower? on First Hand Look At Chinese Internet Censorship · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The existence of weather (any weather) seems to have a significant adverse affect on their ability to move.
    I didnt know that they sometimes have 'no' weather in the UK! Must visit! Must visit!
  10. Thest are great... except - the only problem is... on Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere · · Score: 2, Informative

    People dont trust me when I request them to plug my USB key into their computer, to browse the web. For e.g., I was in a Realtor's office the other day, and wanted to print out my bank statement (e-statement). I didnt want to browse using their browser, so, I requested them to accomodate my USB key, so that I can use my secure FireFox to do it. She wouldnt let me use it for 'security' reasons!

  11. The question is... on Climbing up the Search Ladder · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Is there any limit on how much you can optimize.. eventually, everything will be at equillibrium...

    Warning: Offtopic:
    Hindi programmer "market"
    FYI -- 'Hindi' is not the only language spoken in India. A majority of people in the northern areas speak Hindi. This is not so in the south. Also, India does not have a 'national' language. So, Hindi is NOT synonymous with India. Thx.

  19. Re:Picture Passwords on Password Security Not Easy · · Score: 1

    one problem with this.. is that if you change keyboards/work on a different laptop (say dell v/s toshiba) .. there are chances that your password is skewed...

  20. Why would they confirm/deny this? on Is Sun Turning against Linux and Red Hat? · · Score: 2
    As I write this, there's no mention of this on Sun's website -- neither confirmation nor denial.
    I am not sure why Sun should mention this in their website! If that is indeed their strategy, why would they publicise the fact and jeopardise Java Desktop System?
