Solaris can run just about any other DE, which is great, I just don't think that having a DE entirely out of Java is a good idea(JDE/JDS). Sorry, I do have something against Java.
19" widescreens are crazy cheap. In some cases it costs less than a 17" one. But I'd still go for a high-quality 17" monitor (Or two ;P) over a 19" widescreen... 19" just feels huge for me.

AceofSpades19: Agreed. It's benifit(s?) which all I can think of is only one, being able to run on multi platforms, does not outweigh it's sluggishness. Nor do I buy the argument about sandbox/garbage collection. C/C++ coders if they are not lazy and are skilled enough can take care of memory leaks on their own.
really? I thought it was by the dome, but the lack of cooling towers confused me...
There's four cooling towers in that picture. Two in the lower right corner sitting next to each other, one on the left in the middle, and the fourth next to the ball upper left. The shape you're thinking of (like Three Mile Island's) isn't unique to nuclear plants and not all nuclear plants have cooling towers.
