ker-SCREW, that's the sound of lawmakers a few years from now mandating all computers must implement TC and/or any device on the internet must implement TC and run network stacks that spit out TC "content" to your TC ISP. Your PPC must submit or be standalone.....
better yet, we need to port ELIZA to voice recognition/speach synthesis. Plug 'em into that, and it doesn't even matter if the recognition rate is say 60% or so.
when you do business with Sun, you know they won't pull the carpet under your feet
oh really? remember those older versions of Solaris x86? remember Sun Linux? For that matter, can you give all the names that Sun's web server product has had in the last 3 years and list the differences between them?
would be of highest priority, considering all the issues mankind is pondering: global dimming question, ozone depletion/regeneration, green house effects from water vapor and carbon dioxide levels, climate change. I guess the cartoon ostrich technique of burying head in the sand is more appealing to our rulers...
heh, wrote LISP for $$$ in the 80's and never once used prog & progn and never used or heard of goto. were they there to make BASIC programmers feel at home?
of course, if 40 years ago I said I could make a device where you pump in microwave RF and get out a coherent beam of red light, the same argument might be made...but given the right elements under the right conditions, surprising results are had
quite a bit of difference between the minimum "safe" level of gigahertz RF and what a present day cell phone emits. Now those "brick" phones of my college days, those are another matter.....
it means in the past 7 years I've had to use java technology (from BEA, from Sun, from IBM, etc.) professionally for which the source wasn't available, and it's caused me headaches.
Data Center edition goes to eight nodes with up to 32 way SMP - more than needed for just about any database clustering, for example, but not designed for high performance number crunching of dozens or hundreds or thousands of nodes.
No way this framework will replace existing java frameworks
There is actually a chance it may become a mainstream way of building an enterprise framework. There is a very cool new bytecode Ruby virtual machine and just-in-time compiler (YARV), and the next generation of Ruby, Ruby 2, will support native OS threading. Unlike Java, the source for Ruby is and will be completely open & transparent. Ruby can run on platforms where java can't, like BeOS and MS-DOS.
In 1982-1983, my friend at college had an Osbourne, complete with 4MHz z-80, 128 KB ram in two banks of 64KB , two 102KB floppies, and 5" monochrome monitor in a 25 lbs. case. I wrote some CBASIC on it, but after I found out our physics department had an IBM PC with 640K memory and 360KB floppies and a copy of Turbo Pascal I stopped using the Osbourne. On a completely unrelated note, that was the last year my school had its Honeywell mainframe with card punch/reader.
eeeek! Here I am feeling so good about how stable my machines are running with a particular kernel, and someone has to mention a changelog with issues that fill my mind with doubt!

what about windows CE? what about Citrix metaframe?

corporations are willing to pay money to advertise in popular web sites.
U.S. notes not too interesting, just big black letters on light background saying "THIS IS YOUR GOD"

oh yeah, you must mean the Sun Java Desktop, without the little bit o' Sun java.
eh, what about Dell, 6% profit on 49 BILLION $ in revenue and growing isn't too shabby.

all the stinky ones, like goto and external iterators 8D

put in your pocket and damage the DNA of, er, something else...???

w0h00, 2 ruby jobs on monster! For the last 2 years, there was 0 for my favorite language (on all U.S. job sites together) 8D

Strange, I always used Pagemaker, and its still available on mac
