An man with no remaining proof of guilt is sent to die. This is the sort of thing that Ashcroft reaks of.

Fergus shreds the JavaLobby article. [Peter Drayton's Radio Weblog]

The part I like the best is:

|    Even if CLR's level of language neutrality becomes
|    important, this can be patched into the JVM without major effort.

I find that claim hard to believe.  Stack-local allocation, by-ref arguments, and the Win32 model of resumable exception handling do not look to me like minor patches.

An internet-draft of security vuln disclosure. It's pretty good stuff but I'm worried about one thing: this process wouldn't have helped the "full" disclosures that led to code red. The patches were out, the advisories were up, but the detail level still probably led to the actual worm. In fairness, we can never truly know if the advisory detail level was the actual cause in that case, but looking at it and the little messenger worm that went through recently, I'd bet on it.

Congrats to Culp, who was hoping by getting the dialog going some sort of standard conduct to judge and be judged by would come into being.

I just read this comment of slashdot (yeah I know) that implys that microsoft marketing has more control over release dates then dev and test. I had a really good laugh at that one.
