It's brilliant, better than any RedBoss, I mean JHat, I mean RedHat/JBoss business model! I think you should make an insightful post about it. Cheers, --Jod Rohnson Hani,

It wasn't just to be cool. Because of the Sun licences it is not possible to put the dependencies in public repositories for instance, for many developers using systems like Ivy or Maven this means lots of manual work installing the jars to a local repo, manually managing transitive dependencies, etc. I think you’ve overlooked why Sun wanted to open source their code.

I’ve posted previously. Hani died over four months ago in an auto accident when his car rolled-over. Unfortunately, a co-worker, Carl, had Hani’s password to the bileblog and continues to post under Hani’s name. As a manager at Formicary this was brought to my attention and Carl has recently been “let go”. As you can tell, this blog post doesn’t reflect the cleverness that Hani possessed before his death. We are currently working with jroller to terminate access to this blog and any future mention of our company. Please send your condolences to formicary.net’s european or us offices. Your messages will be forwarded to his family. Regards, Larry Marshall Sr Manager Formicary We were afraid that this would happen. I’ve posted previously.

They are still in shock from this and flounder about trying to recreate the freshness, the simplicity, the purity of 7th Edition UNIX. There is an urge in Sun to renunciate every other technology and API and return to the 7th. They have problems expressing this hence their marketing and ponytails. They deserve credit for trying, despite the endless turds. Somewhere within Sun is a vague recollection of the early UNIX, of it’s elegance and beauty.

XML is a subset of SGML which came from GML which was invented by IBM in the 60's. It's like these idiots who think that Tim Berners-Lee/CERN invented the internet. They took a bunch of shit that other people invented and put a piece of glue between it. They should get credit for that but 99% of the work was from DARPA and IBM -- not CERN.
