Emphasis mine.

The odd thing is, with the release in question (Update 3), Apple's JVM is 1.6.0_22, exactly the same as the latest release for Linux/Solaris/Winows. This is the first time I can remember that that was the case.

The Linux foundation doesn't develop a Linux JVM.
Microsoft's JVM was awful and incompatible.

Both those platforms are still widely used for Java development and deployment, in spite of depending on a third-party JVM.

Seriously? Troll?

Someone posts an inflammatory, unsubstantiated statement and is modded insightful. Someone asks for proof, and that's trolling?!

What. The. Fuck.

Lisa, I want to buy your rock.

No, he means exactly what he said. Pretty much everyone but Firefox either does or is planning to support it.

Yes, there are lots of no-name browsers with zero user base that don't do h.264. But IE, Chrome, and Safari all do h.264. Which leaves Firefox and Opera as the WebM holdouts.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

No, see, Apple users are all gay!

Which is funny, for some reason, because sexual orientations are funny. So...outing.... ...gay.... ...funny mod please?

Bullshit. The Wikileaks documents a lot of out-of-context reports, mostly from low-level soldiers and unit commanders. Essentially, it's an internal bug-tracking database for the war.

Look at any internal bug-tracking database for any reasonably-sized project and you'll immediately conclude that the project is a horrible steaming pile of crap that everyone hates. That does not necessarily mean that the project actually is worthless. Imagine what the MS Windows (or OS X, or whatever) internal bug database must be like. Millions of known, incompatibilities, crash reports, and unsubstantiated error reports. And yet MS and Apple make shit-tons of money from them, and millions of people use them every ay.

Of course there are major problems with the war. It's a fucking war.

Wow. Just...wow.

THE PERIOD IN A MONOSPACED FONT IS AS WIDE AS A FUCKING 'W'. IT IS NOT FUCKING SMALL. In a monospaced font, all characters are the same width; hence there are no "small" characters in a monospaced font. Your assertion that a monospaced period is "small" is therefore demonstrably false.

So, in a monospaced font, you need two spaces to (visually) compensate for the wider space. A single space would be lost next to the huge gaping negative visual space surrounding the period.

In a proportional font, the period has no extra padding, therefore no extra spacing is needed after the period.

From TFS:

"The Software Freedom Conservancy has received a judgement against Westinghouse Digital Electronics for $90,000 in damages, $50,000 in costs plus a donation of all of the offending HDTV's that were using BusyBox in violation of the GPL. Given that WDE is nearly bankrupt it's likely that most if not all of the cash will disappear in a legal 'poof', but it is a victory regardless."

Did the summary get edited to include that, or what?

What? Here, take a look:

.....

Two spaces are appropriate for typewriters and similar monospaced fonts (Courier, Monaco, Andale Mono, Consolas, Vera, Deja Vu mono)

One space for proportional fonts (Times, Helvetica, almost everything.)

Absolutely

The fact that you're on Slashdot makes you Not The Target Market.

To most people, virtually any computer thingie is sufficiently advanced.

"Acts of God" is a legal term encompassing chance events, sudden natural disasters, and other unforeseeable and uncontrollable happenings. Forest fires, lightning, earthquakes, meteor strikes, volcanic eruptions, sudden sinkholes, etc.

The lawyers and judges understand what it means. It's a standard part of contracts and has nothing to do with any deity or religious belief whatsoever.
