Bollocks it is. I've tried it myself, since in some cases I have C code and Java code to solve the same problem. The startup time is still long, the periodic garbage-collection stall is still there, and the only way it's ever faster than native code is if some dumbass forgot to use the C compiler's optimiser.
Java and/or gcj _can_ beat C code at low optimisation levels, but I've never seen it approach the performance you get out of xlc -O5.
One of the managers near me has the BBC headline "Souther US mops up after Dennis" on his wall. I think he appreciated having a hurricane named after him...
vi is my preferred admin interface, but the windows control panel is a pretty good second. The Apple one is far too clicky-clicky "oooh purty", as though it's designed for people with ADD.
The windows one, because it works the same way it has for the last 10 years.

Vim 6.4 Released

So there have been 2 stable debian releases since the last desktop windows release. On the server side the story is similar - over 3 years elapsed between Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
Build a bridge once, and you launder money for a decade. But if you blow it up and get the contract to rebuild you can be laundering money for the rest of your life.
It's faster because it accesses memory once per character (and a char variable which even a dumb compiler will stick in a register), rather than the 3 times per character needed by the hand-'optimised' xor technique.

No text.
I just hope they can maintain this momentum going forward. They need to look for cross-brand synergies in order to deliver on their key objectives.
Help! Help! The ACs are spying on me!
Dude, that was Tom & Jerry.
It's not z/OS, it's a custom kernel which provides the absolute minimum facilities required.
z/OS doesn't even run on PPC-compatible hardware...
1inch == tiny, numbnuts.
If _the_ General Populous wants maps for his invasion plan he can pay for them himself.
Of course, it's possible you meant populace...

FFS RTFA, this is about WebCore (a KHTML-derived HTML rendering engine) being used in the Nokia web browser. They aren't porting all of KDE.
WebCore is Apple's KHTML-derived HTML rendering component (used in Safari).

That's true by definition. A recurring decimal represents the limit of the sum of the infinite series it encodes.
It's called IBM Lotus Sametime.

Yes they are. As the old saying goes:

Write The Fucking Word, it's not like masking it with *s makes it any less offensive.
10.999... = 11 by definition
e _case_of_0.99999... is quite interesting
Your point was?

Well, it probably doesn't have much octane in it, but it has an equivalent knock-resistance to a high-octane mix.
It's faster because it accesses memory once per character (and a char variable which even a dumb compiler will stick in a register), rather than the 3 times per character needed by the hand-'optimised' xor technique.
Ever heard of Lambda Calculus?
However, akamai doesn't run windows, and that's usually what you'll be talking to (at least from outside the US).
