That's great news! Maybe I'll find some use for my N950 soon.

It's not really a singleton if it returns an instance per session instead of a global one.

NetBeans is open source. At least OpenOffice and Hudson have already been forked. Are there any obstacles (name has to be changed of course) for forking this project as well?

XP has the "windows rot" problem. After it has been in use for a couple of months, it slows down significantly and especially booting it takes forever. Some people claim that they can avoid this but I have never seen any hard evidence :)

Good point. And I don't think classpath exception would apply here. I'd be interested to hear if someone has actually seen this source code "in the wild".

AFAIK the code which makes the Swing UI use native OSX (Cocoa) instead of X is Apple proprietary. I wonder whether Apple will now give that to Oracle or release it as Open Source. Otherwise we're going to be stuck with X Server and ugly UIs

Nope.

If Oracle decides OSX is important enough platform, this might be even a good thing.

In my experience (last 5 years in MegaCorporations) the problem is that the people who are actually hands-on managing the offshoring projects are different from those who make the decisions. The guys who decide to offshore are usually at le

There was a survey about this (among other things): State of Clojure: http://muckandbrass.com/web/display/~cemerick/2010/06/07/Res... Quite a few Ruby and Python people trying Clojure out (much more than Lispers).

You've got a point, but I think final class modifier which prevents extension often hinders Unit Testing and never adds much value.

Last time I tried BitBucket it just didn't work over my employer's http proxy. Googled it and it was some unresolved issue back then, lots of people had the same problem.

Exactly. I work in medical hw/sw and I can tell you the amount of bureucracy is insane and everything is orders of magnitude harder than any non-regulated business. Open Source itself is not really a problem, we use a lot of it (os, libs, e

It runs the whole Android system including Linux kernel. It doesn't perform that great on a desktop, it wouldn't probably fit into iPhone at all this way memory-wise. If it did, it would be extremely slow.

Yet another article which claims that development is faster without Unit Tests. I used to be a cowboy-coder in the past for years, and now I always do Unit Tests. My experience is that it's always faster unless I'm just doing small API expl

Yes, I agree totally that S60 as a programming platform is horrible. I hope Nokia has learned the lesson with Maemo. Because it's based on a Linux distribution which is not that far from your standard desktop Linux, maybe they just aren't a

Why does everyone think Droid is the only hope? Nokia's Maemo-based N900 looks promising as well. Their latest Symbian/series60 phones (e.g. E71, E75) are also pretty decent nowadays, although I would compare those to Blackberry rather than
