This update implements quite a number of bug fixes, security enhancements and additional JVM command line option. View release notes for complete details.
Also the OpenOffice.org 3.0 Developer Snapshot (build SRC680_m242) is out. Get it from here, if you wish to try out what about to come next.

"...this is going to sound kind of weird -- but at the time I was also trying to learn electronics. We didn't have any money, so finding parts and being able to build stuff was always dumpster diving and was really frustrating. I discovered that I could break into the university and write computer programs really easily, didn't cost any money..."
Nice, short, crisp. Read the complete interview here.

Last few days I having been sitting at home and brushing up the basics of Unix and Java. At this point of time I would like to share a few things (basically things that are coming to my mind):
Firstly about unix (terminal)...
The prompt is not the only thing that is different between Unix and DOS apart from well known fact that both (usually) have inverted colors (One is black on white and the other white on black).
Next about Java...
If I am given a choice between C++, php and Java...
Lets compare the syntax for sending a simple textual output to the standard I/O in all the three languages:
C++: cout<<"Hello World";
php: echo "Hello World";
Java: System.out.println("Hello World");
I will choose php cause its style of coding is really casual, yet stylish. At the same time I'll always envy those Java programmers cause even the print statement of Java exhibits sophistication.
