Programmers = Songwriters
GROKLAW: "I do not buy it, not at all.
Songwriters are not 'tainted' because they've listened to the radio,
gone to concerts, or even, downloaded songs from the internet.
Novelists are not 'tainted' because they've read books, visited
libraries, or even looked over someone else's shoulder while they were writing.
Tell me again what makes programming fundamentally different from those
professions? And how does that jibe with 'equal protection' doctrine?"

Copyright
GROKLAW: "Copyright, however, poses a different problem. Every transfer of the code on the internet, and indeed every use of a computer to look at the code, involves making a technical 'copy.' Courts have fairly uniformly held that such technical copying - made necessary by digital technology - infringes Microsoft's exclusive right to reproduce the work in question (here, the Windows source code, a literary work). Absent fair use, anyone who causes his or her computer to put the code onto the screen (or to print out the whole version) is subject to all of the draconian remedies of copyright.
On the other hand, it is still not yet an infringement of copyright simply to read an infringing copy of a work (unless perhaps you break through a technological measure designed to control access to it, which would invoke the DMCA). "

Eric Raymond says "Release Java"

Sun caches in with processor plans
Sun's dual-core UltraSparc IV can handle two simultaneous threads. Another chip, code-named Niagara, will be able to handle 32 simultaneous threads using eight cores that can each handle four threads, but it won't be able to execute a single thread at maximum speed. "

Generics in C#, Java, and C++
Article : interview of Anders Hejlsberg: " Java's generics implementation relies on erasure of the type parameter, when you get to runtime, you don't actually have a faithful representation of what you had at compile time. When you apply reflection to a generic List in Java, you can't tell what the List is a List of. It's just a List. Because you've lost the type information, any type of dynamic code-generation scenario, or reflection-based scenario, simply doesn't work. If there's one trend that's pretty clear to me, it's that there's more and more of that. And it just doesn't work, because you've lost the type information. Whereas in our implementation, all of that information is available. You can use reflection to get the System.Type for object List. You cannot actually create an instance of it yet, because you don't know what T is. But then you can use reflection to get the System.Type for int. You can then ask reflection to please put these two together and create a List, and you get another System.Type for List. So representationally, anything you can do at compile time you can also do at runtime. "

Sun 'explains' open source at EclipseCon
NewsForge | Sun 'explains' open source at EclipseCon: "why doesn't Sun open source Java and why Sun doesn't join Eclipse. His answer to the first was that he believes Sun has open sourced Java. To the second, he replied that it was because Sun and IBM are competing in that space. "
