  1. Re:JVM challenger OR Java challenger on the JVM? on Kotlin 1.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It is NOT it's own JVM. It runs on the JVM and uses all the goodies that Hotspot provides (if going with the Oracle JVM). One of the big things going for it is it's small footprint when used as an alternative to JAVA for Android apps.

  2. Re:Java hardware acceleration was discarded on Swiss Firm Claims Boost In Android App Performance · · Score: 1

    Or is it really not java? Sun/Oracle may be seeing google in court soon over that one...

  3. Re:D-Wave's potential pitfalls on Google Demonstrates Quantum Computer Image Search · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just out of interest - who is competing against D-Wave in this space?

  4. Re:Where's the song? on OpenBSD 4.6 Released · · Score: 1

    That is some of the funniest/wierdest music I've ever heard.

  5. Re:What about internet downtime? on Google Apps Gets a 99.9% Guarantee · · Score: 1

    gmail does give you the ability to connect via POP or IMAP so storing your emails off line (even drafts) is no issue. Companies that use google apps simply needed to educate their users how to use this type of connectivity. Google calendar also lets you sync easily to outlook although they have not (as far as I am aware) provided syncing apps for other calendering apps. The biggest issue will be for google docs and other google apps for which there isn't an offline equivalent.

  6. Are the main champions for the society for real? on The Flat Earthers Are Still With Us · · Score: 1

    The first subject in the forum is called "Notice for newbies" and this is started by "Professor Gaycunt"... (http://theflatearthsociety.org/forum/index.php?board=12.0)

  7. Re:PS3 or Wii on Apple to Rule the Digital Home by 2013? · · Score: 1

    Although Sony did "help" by getting linux running on it (do you really think it wasn't going to happen given enough time?) they have officially blocked all the cool OpenGL parts of the system apart from the PS3 OS. This means MythTV or anything media-ish that runs on linux will either look like poo on the PS3 or won't work at all. I'm still yet to see anything proprietary that works as well as the XBMC...

  8. Re:Royalties on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not too sure if they'll have to pay Sony (I think yes) but they'll have to pay Sun as all blueray menu's are now j2me driven... But i guess they are used to paying SUN.

  9. what IDE does SUN use? on Eclipse Makes Java Development on the Mac Easier · · Score: 1

    I have a close mate who works for Sun on some pretty low level dev stuff. After trying to tow the company line with Netbeans, the close friend and workmates chose Eclipse? Why? It's ahead of Netbeans. I get paid to write PHP, JSP and Coldfusion with all the other trappings of web development (CSS, HTML, Javascript) and I use Eclipse for all of them. My workmate needs to write Action Script for Flash, he uses Eclipse. Guess what Adobe wrote their latest Coldfusion debugger in? Not Dreamweaver - but as an Eclipse plugin. ok, ok, I may sound a bit Eclipse fan-boyish and its certainly not the silver-bullet and without its issues (File -> Open was only include last year I think) but for cross platform support and open plugin development - its a great tool. There is even an Eclipse World! (http://eclipseworld.net/) complete with some fantastic pictures of developers.

  10. viruses on linux - a big deal anyway? on Many Antivirus Tools Fail in LinuxWorld Test · · Score: 3, Funny

    are viruses on linux a overflow from WINE?

  11. Jack Thompson - not the Australian on Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft · · Score: 2, Informative

    This article takes a whole new meaning if you are from Australia. Its kind of like saying Mick Dundee is sueing MS. (BTW - Australian Jack lives here http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0860233/

    Have you tried serendipity? http://www.s9y.org/ Works well for me.

    The positioned has diversified into many others. simple

  14. How about just getting the clients working? on Hey Oracle, Why Not Ubuntu? · · Score: 1

    I am aware that sqlplus works (well) on Ubuntu through their instantclient, but what about sql loader (sqlldr) and other such apps? That would be a start at least...
