But Stallman may be speaking too soon, according to Schwartz. Show us the Free code Jonathan. Members of the FOSS communities have grown tired of the "Yes, we love FOSS! No, we don't!" blah blah that is the standard M.O. of Sun in the press. Sun has great technology, but when it comes to PR the M.P.D. shows. Java is proprietary until further notice. |

r_a_trip: Surely you aren't suggesting we wait until Sun actually opens Java before praising them for, um, announcements? BTW, I'm going to release the blueprints for an intergalactic flying house that runs on potato peelings, real soon now. |

> I'm going to release the blueprints for an intergalactic flying house that runs on potato peelings, real soon now. What a great project. I assume that it comes with an attack snails defense system. It might also be good if it alternately ran on buffalo chips :) |

jimf: I'm sorry. The attack snail defense system must remain a closed, proprietary secret in order to protect the "feed once, slime anywhere" advantages of the system from those who would embrace, extend and extinguish it. |

It's an open secret that the US Army was training a cadre of vicious attack snails which escaped into the wild. They sent out trained tracking slugs, but the snails left lines of salt across their backtrail, which took care of the slugs. No one knows where they are now, but they are considered slimed and dangerous. |

Ah yes, those Octogenarian Mutant Ninja Snails can be quite ferocious at times!! |

Don't think I can't see through your thinly veiled conspiracy. You're really agitating for carpet-bombing society with sporks, knowing full well that the spork is indisputable proof of the fall of civilization. |

> carpet-bombing society with sporks Don't forget spifing . Rember the spifing of the grubs on G5 by those damned snails... What a loss for the civilized galaxy. |
