Re: [The Java Posse] random crap section / fart sounds

I dislike the fart noises too, but the value/entertainment/education of the majority of the podcasts and the understanding that they are working mostly from their own time/effort makes me want to overlook that if it keeps them happy and continuing with the work they do. Lloyd On Sat, May 21, 201

Re: [The Java Posse] Today's Java Posse, only 25% actual Java.

Well it is still mostly about Java the platform, which is how things have been emphasized for a while now. I would also say that all these things are still part of the Java community. I like the evolution. Even though I don't think I'll be trying or using Scala anytime soon, I don't think it's bad

I've had no problem with Dell and Sony laptops that I've used. I like the Sony keyboard and laptop quality much better.

Recently I've run into clients with Oracle Forms and Reports type applications running as applets on really old browsers.

Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Apple Bias?

I guess I'm letting my unpleasant past experiences with the Blackdown port on Linux and the FreeBSD ports cloud my judgement. If OpenJDK is as good as the Sun provided JDK's on other platforms, then that is definitely good news and I'm glad to hear that. What do you think the future of Java on Mac

Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Apple Bias?

These are mean as honest questions, I'm not trying to nit-pick here... Why didn't Sun provide a JDK for MacOSX like it (eventually) did for Windows and Linux? Did Apple take the lead because they thought they would provide the best LOF for the graphical parts, because Sun didn't have the extra res

Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Is JavaFX going anywhere?

Maybe not so narrow a niche any more. There are (unfortunately IMO) lots of Oracle Forms and Reports folks out there that are using Java applets. Oracle really hasn't come up with a good replacement for Forms and Reports yet (ADF was too complicated, Application Express might win, BI/XML Publisher

Re: [The Java Posse] Re: Apple Bias?

I honestly don't understand why you think questioning that the Mac universe is maybe not the best place for Java develoers. is fud. In the recent past, Apple took a long time to update the JDK to 1.6 and patch 1.5. How far behind in their releases were they? 1, 2 years? They said nothing of the rea
