nobbis writes "Java 8 Early Access Release Candidate Available. Early Access Release Candidate 2 was made available for download last week. Lambda Functions and a new Date Time API are major features of Java 8, with some lesser known performance enhancements, which are discussed by Drew Stephens in his blog Atomic Number Implementation. Oracle's head Java Evangelist Simon Ritter gives a run through of new features in this presentation to the Virtual Java User Group. Project Jigsaw has been delayed again and is now scheduled for release with Java 9."
The bug report looks healthy and Java 8 is due for release on March 17th -- St. Patrick's Day.

We should switch the tagline to "Soylent News... it's Leprechauns" for St. Paddy's day.

If they turned the site green for the day, who would sue first: Slashdot or MGM?

Ours would be a deeper shade of green: our green would go all the way to eleven, cause we are made of more people. :)

There's no truth to the rumor that a bunch of sneaky low UID members are planning to pour a vat of green dye into the soylent on St. Pat's day.
Do it yourself, 'cause no one else will do it yourself.

someone could hack a copy of the soylent css and apply it manually with something like the web developer toolbar for firefox... why anyone would want to do that is beyond me, but at least they could... it would be especially geeky :-P

Would that then be #001100? Given what that amounts to, it'd seem we're living on the darker side, as it looks pretty much black to the human eye.
