Oh America, when will you ever learn the difference between "your" and "you're"?

Please, when are you going to fix this cutoff? It's so annoying. Firefox 6 on latest Ubuntu.

It's happened before, but very rarely. Notably it happened for KDE 4.1.

As an Orange-American, I find that highly offensive.

Even today, people force themselves through the painful pronunciation of "double you double you double you dot" when it's completely unnecessary for almost all sites.

Can you help a poor guy out? What were the suggestions?

This would have been a decent post without all the "sweetheart" bullshit. Hard to take a sexist seriously.

I wonder if Berners-Lee cringes when he sees Cerf described as "the Godfather of the web" :-)

Quoting http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance#Comparison_to_other_languages:

• 1-4 times slower than compiled languages such as C or C++
• close to other Just-in-time compiled languages such as C#
• much higher than languages without an effective native-code compiler (JIT or AOT), such as Perl, Ruby, PHP and Python.

Oracle still owns the copyright.

He then later followed up with "SHABOOM!" and slapped his wife on the ass, before immediately pounding a 40.

Scala is multiparadigmal; you can use the functional features when you want, and ignore them and program Java-style when you want.

How could you "corner the market" like that? Java has an incredibly strong free software culture around it; making the compiler proprietary (it's free software today) and then even charging for it, would be Oracle Java's death knell and a free fork would take over.

Heck, Amsterdam even has it in their flag.
