Java is slow on desktops but has really good performance on servers.
On servers you got plenty of ram and people to tune up the application after the installation. Once you start the application and after the warm up time Java is fast.

And then you leave the organization,
NOT the industry.
Seems the proper decision to me.

Thats true!
From time to time, I get the mail saying somebody has endorsed me for a skill.
When I ask in person to the one who endorsed me he says:
a) he didn't
or
b) he only did 'cos I did it first (but I didn't)

...once they build a community.
They "offer" you to be in contact with all e-mail address book every time you login.
They also send you mails that looks as if contact of your contacts was trying to reach you.
This is bad behavior.
I hope they get into troubles.

Some times it is a bad thing.

I you want to hear the same amount of valid points from both sides,
you need Teller, not Penn.

The point of running slackware is compiling from source when you don't find a build/package for some application.
I don't say slackware doesn't supports X until I try to do:

./configure
make
make install

If you don't want to go that far, may be you should check other distro. This "missing package" for some app or driver will keep happening.

I heard that most of the couples in Europe has only one child and this leads to demographics with more old people than young people.
I think the long leaves and state's support may be related to that.

Please!
someone mod up this as Funny!

"plop out" <-- This is poetry

I think it has to do with the following bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=847627 The list of downloads at the downloads windows and the list of downloads at the history (History menu / CTRL+SHIFT+H) was separated. The second list was always accessible through the History menu. I did know about it and I didn't think its a bug.

Some web applications needs A.C.I.D. transactions. No-relational distributed databases won't replace relational databases until they can do A.C.I.D. transactions. The distributed part is particularly hard for A.C.I.D. transactions, 'cos destroys the performance.
