Comment I don't mean it like that at all (Score 1) 1359

Hopefully you read how I qualified my comment, I don't mean it as an excuse at all. I'm just expressing how I feel about this in the context of this past few weeks. I'm not even saying that's a fair criticism of what he's saying, just expressing my opinion with regards to this with my current state of mind. Ask me any other week and I'll probably be more receptive to it.

Just being honest.

But to be quite honest with you, with what is going in Iran at this moment, your request seems frivolous.

I know I'm being a bit unfair, and that the mere existence of Iran doesn't excuse any violations into your privacy that you feel exist, but considering what is going on in the world this post seems ill-timed at best.

I think the word "freer" in this case is misleading, it almost sounds more like you crave for a society were privacy is respected and more protected, which I see as a different thing.

Comment In Tampa (Score 1) 538

I also work from home and live in Tampa. Don't really understand why they put Orlando on the list, it seems the writer doesn't like warm/sunny weather.

Every time I met with co-workers outside the state, or go to a conference, people ask me what the heck I'm doing outside of FL and express a wish to work here too. The weather is great, and yes we have hurricanes but at least you get a fair warning.

Submission + - Classpath hell just froze over (sellmic.com)

An anonymous reader writes: At last week's JavaOne, Mark Reinhold declared "the classpath is dead". The blog post "Classpath hell just froze over" summarizes some of the presentations and discussions at JavaOne regarding project Jigsaw which aims to modularize the now very large JDK in the next release of Java (version 7 due in 2010). It also highlights some of the controversies and unanswered questions, mainly around native module distribution (you can install java modules as rpm packages) and issues with the OSGi alliance.
