  1. Inaccuracy - Article claims Solaris is BSD derived on Linux For Losers According To De Raadt · · Score: 1

    "De Raadt makes a rival open source operating system called OpenBSD. Unlike Linux, which is a clone of Unix, OpenBSD is based on an actual Unix variant called Berkeley Software Distribution. BSD powers two of the best operating systems in the world--Solaris from Sun Microsystems (nasdaq: SUNW - news - people )..." Wrong. Try ATT System V. How can you distinguish this article from some nitwits personal blog? I thought Forbes had editors and a reputation.

  2. Re:Netbroken. . . but it had webapp debugging! on Netbeans 4.1 Released · · Score: 1

    I use MyEclipse plugin for Eclipse for J2EE development (source level debugging of JSP, etc).. Its a $29 annual subscription.

  3. the real difference on New Vulnerabilities Discovered in Firefox 1.0 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    (for me) isn't really the technology or the security. IE and firefox are really not that far apart in terms of bugs/features (yet).. the main difference to me is that one on hand, you have a greedy, monopolistic company working outside proper market forces - allowing it to decide when and how it improves its software (IE 6.0 released in Aug 2002 - what major sw app can get away with a 3 year major release cycle?) vs. Firefox/Mozilla - a grass-roots colaboration of people who are trying to make something significant and have fun at the same time.

    The choice for me is not a lot different than choosing to live in the Soviet Union or the United States. I'd rather not eat the gruel (or browser) someone else thinks is all I deserve.
