    "FROST PROST"

    ROAD LESS TRAVELED

    Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
    And sorry I could not travel both
    And be one traveler, long I stood
    And looked down one as far as I could
    To where it bent in the undergrowth

    Then took the other as just as fair
    And having perhaps the better claim
    Because it was grassy and wanted wear
    Though as for that, the passing there
    Had worn them really about the same

    And both that morning equally lay
    In leaves no step had trodden black
    Oh, I kept the first for another day!
    Yet, knowing how way leads onto way
    I doubted if I should ever come back

    I shall be telling this with a sigh
    Somewhere ages and ages hence
    Two roads diverged in a wood
    And I took the one less traveled by
    And that has made all the difference

  3. Dude at work on Firefox Updated to 1.0.4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    This guy at work noticed I was using firefox (he's an IE user), and said, slyly, "You know, there's a couple of really bad security holes." Good think FF fixes their holes faster than MS.

  12. Re:Joss Whedon....Who??? on Serenity Screenings Sell Out · · Score: 1

    They do explain how they get the wild west in the midst of this future time... Earth is very advanced, other planets were more recently settled than Earth. The farther the planet is from Earth, the more recently it was settled. Joss showed this by having the "outer planets" be a bit untamed. Also, being farther away from Earth means being farther away from the government and police, so that's where the bad guys tend to be.

    I stand corrected... cell phone games. Yeah, Java kicks C's butt and Sun kicks MS's.

  14. Re:Goals are the same on Microsoft States Full TCP/IP Too Dangerous · · Score: 1

    As it turns out more people however actually run programs than write them, so platform portability is in fact more useful. As it turns out, Java apps are so slow and ugly that hardley anyone uses them.

    First,
    What the heck do you call an industry standard?
    By your conventions, I coud say: "Look at those Penguins, abandoning the industry standard for desktop OS's (Windows) and making their own (Linux). To me, industry standards are not owned by a single company.

    Second,
    Java and .Net (although both have VMs) have two completely different goals. The primary goal of Java VM is to be "write once, run anywhere." This is not part of .Net's goals. .Net's CLR was made 1) to implement code security 2) to increase productivity by taking care of plumming issues such as garbage collection 3) to reconcile the disparities between languages
