Any of you who replied that 'military gps' is super accurate.. any reference to your claims? Not denying, just genuinely interested in knowing more about this.

And I suppose your dBase application can do an index on a HUMAN_IRIS(2) field type?

I "free" my cat every eff'ing morning and guess what, that stupid slave just comes back all the time. What a stupid slave, doesn't even understand he can just run away and go free. I understand your PETA point in the scope of farm animals.. but cats? really? I am the cat's stupid slave, trust me..

May be but from a technical standpoint that does not make windows any better.

Try killall on solaris just for fun.

Their days of getting royalties on every single copy of windows sold are counted.. Remember that HD-DVD vs Blue Ray war? MS was behind HD-DVD, and sony won with its blue ray.. I wonder if MS would have done the same thing if HD-DVD was not abandoned? I think they are simply pointing the middle finger to sony in that move..

But they could not work out an agreement with sun to obtain a licence with the terms and price tag they needed. So they did not call their implementation 'java', thus, not infringing on the trademark.
The trial is about patent infringement, not trademarks..

2. Can you spell out the risk of us relying on Sun for support in more detail? I thought Java was largely opensourced anyway -- so I don't understand why we'd be so worried if Sun went bankrupt, was sold to an unfriendly company or just decided to act erratically with respect to Java. Is it that we are concerned about the parts that are not opensourced (e.g., test suite) --that Sun might jack up the license fees or just stop licensing those altogether?

20 years is nothing. The livermore light bulb is 110 years old and still working. How come we can't beat the technology from our great grand fathers?

+1 to you. Congrats to the Nouveau developers. That is a major accomplishment.

Just in case someone implements an email validation based on your comment: Make sure you read the spec, you don't need an MX record to be a valid email domain, an A record only is perfectly valid.

They want women so they can pay them less.. Business masterminds!

We don't know much about your product, but you hint at a "framework". This is a different kind of software, one that will be used by other developers to directly build upon. A free, fully open and documented framework, no matter how good, has very little chance of success, as there are already so many competing frameworks. Now imagine the chance of success a proprietary framework has.... unless you are Microsoft, I don't see how anyone could do this.
