Eclipse Turns 5: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Burnette/index.php?p=196.  A lot of fond memories of the IDE that blew NetBeans away.  Also, Eclipse had handy features such as refactoring some time before it was introduced in Visual Studio 2005.

 

ANSWER TO BrainSharpener (#2)

You make two cuts so that your resulting fractions are as follows:

1/7, 2/7 and 4/7.

Day 1: Pay him 1/7 of the gold

Day 2: You give him 2/7 and he returns 1/7 to you.

Day 3: Give him 1/7

Day 4: You give him 4/7 and he returns 1/7 and 2/7 to you.

Day 5: Give him 1/7

Day 6: Give him 2/7 and he returns the 1/7 gold piece

Day 7: Give him 1/7
