  1. Re:ME and EE on Oracle To Monetize Java VM · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure about ME, but EE uses the same JVM, just different flavor (-server switch in JVM). EE is implemented by application servers, not JVM.

  2. Don't jump to conclusions on Oracle To Monetize Java VM · · Score: 4, Informative

    Oracle already has free and pay-for JVM: HotSpot is free, JRockit is not. I expect the free JVM will be just fine for desktops and small servers. I'd expect pay-for JVM to target enterprise solutions. And again, I expect them to ship this JVM for free with their middleware products (Weblogic etc.). But yes, this sucks for JBoss.

  3. Re:Ruining photography on All Your Stonehenge Photos Are Belong To England · · Score: 1

    As a hobbyist photographer I must say producing the lighting of the Eiffel Tower is a hell of a job, while pressing the shutter button is... well.. pressing the shutter button. There is alot creativity in photography, but taking photos of other's people work it aint.

  4. Single sign on? on Linux To Take Over Microsoft In Enterprises · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Do we have AD like single sign on at least for linux servers? No? How about clients then? No?

    Seriously, how do you guys handle root password management for servers? SSH is not the real answer here, IMHO.

  5. EE is emerging market? on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Eastern Europe? Really? We've been using Office since Windows 3.1, which also had EE version.

    >Oracle bought Sun, thus acquiring Java and OpenOffice. They were not the reason for the buyout.

    What? Oracle bought Sun exactly because of Java. Everything else just came in the same package.

  7. Re:Outlook on Microsoft Admits OpenOffice.org Is a Contender · · Score: 1

    And a user who "uses email client at home" and _thinks_ it might work with exchange is modded informative?
    Oh Slashdot, quo vadis ?

    1. There's a BIG difference in using email client at home and in big corporate environment or even job that requires lots of mailing.
    2. Last time i tried, the exchange support was a joke. It might have changed, but if it still uses OWA... just forget it.

    Ribbons look good, but are a pain to use.

  9. Re:Yeah, right, remember OS2? on IBM and Oracle To Collaborate On OpenJDK · · Score: 1

    OS2 was much more than "desktop OS". It was what Windows NT only became much later.

    I still don't understand how IBM let MS get away with what they did. There's a lot of OS2 know how and architecture in Windows.

    And your point is? JVM can be implemented as register vm code.licenser.net/rvm/trunk/etc/p153-yunhe.pdf

    It walks like a duck, quacks like a duck.. but it's isDuck() returns false, so duck it's not!

    - language is _the same_, java
    - some APIs are the same: java.*, javax.*... but some packages are excluded
    - extended with android.*
    - uses different bytecode, still called bytecode (but hey, this is totally different than java!)
    - has java bytecode to dalvik bytecode compiler, agan, not java, it's totally different

    Do no evil my ass.

  12. Re:So will they stop suing Google? on IBM and Oracle To Collaborate On OpenJDK · · Score: 1

    Same tactics disguised in different, "don't be evil" package.

    Really, how can people be so blinded by Apple and Google? I mean, it's 20 and freaking 10, we don't have flying cars, but at least we could finally have portable software? You know, with something like JavaFx (or Flash or whatever) it's possible to implement cross-platform iPhone like apps.

    The ONLY profit from proprietary platforms goes to their authors. And again, if it was 95 and Microsoft did that.. oh boy...

  13. Re:Not Sure on IBM and Oracle To Collaborate On OpenJDK · · Score: 1

    Dude, Oracle has more or less all their current product portfolio built around Java. From java stored procedures to Fusion Middleware, SOA, 2 application servers, 2 development environments, and most of their "applications" portfolio. Oracle bought Sun just to protect itself from loosing java. what they will make out of it is another story. Probably won't be as open as Sun was, but can't afford to loose customers and devs... interesting times ahaed.

  14. Re:So will they stop suing Google? on IBM and Oracle To Collaborate On OpenJDK · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do you remember when MS had their own JVM and then started adding "extensions" to java? Yeah, that was bad. It was MS's embrace, extend, extinguish strategy. Id bound whatever you implemented on MS's java to Windows platform. Which is exactly the opposite of what java is all about. And yes, Sun sued them and MS discontinued it's own java and tarted .Net. Sun was considered to be the good guy and MS the bad guy.

    Now please explain to me how Google, doing exactly the same as MS did, is now the good guy?

    Wow, that sucks. I wonder if they did it to screw Oracle (Oracle vm server uses xen and Oracle enterprise linux, which is more or less rebranded RHEL). This will be interesting.

  19. Re:Goodness, Who To Believe... on EU Conducts Test Flights To Assess Impact of Volcanic Ash On Aircraft · · Score: 1

    That would not be "propeller-driven" but rather "internal combustion-driven". There are many turboprops http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turboprop, you know. Anyway, I would also think that general aviation is more or less safe to fly. The speeds are not very high, neither the altitudes. Any dust would probably make far less damage at 200km/h than 900km/h. And GA airplanes are generally easy to maneuver in case of engine failure (assuming there is enough altitude).
