First, you don't really travel much for work do you? I've spent a fair bit of time doing on-site consulting. A laptop is the only real option. I need a keyboard to type code. I need my tool-set with me. I can't even guarantee internet access at all locations. And yes, I've coded places where WiFi was unheard of, cell-signals were spotty for calls let alone data and even AOL lacked a local dial-up number. In this century.
Second, 15" too small to be able to effectively work at all?!?!? I remember upgrading from a desktop to a 14.1" laptop and loving all that extra screen real-estate. Heck, trying getting dirty looks in the computer lab because your tying-up three VT320s to do your homework. Early developers IDE baby! Code here. Compile here. Test here.
I'm not really a big proponent either way. But, a friend of mine who is very pro-gold likes to point out that the price of a lot of staples (bread, milk, that sort of thing) has been *very* stable against the price of gold over the long-term. That is if a loaf of bread cost XXX grams of gold in YYYY year, it most likely costs very close to XXX grams of gold today.
He also talks about inflation (driven strongly by fiat currency he says) as a hidden tax.
Also, the default/packaged JSF numeric input converters produce either Long or BigDecimal values (per spec) depending on whether a decimal is present, so this should only affect a very small subset of use cases that are easily patched or avoided (old JSP/servlet code, Struts, etc.)
Do you really think that "old JSP/servlet code" is rare? Systems that pre-date JSF popularity are the norm.
Unfortunately, your analogy falls down badly. Compromising my google account is the equivalent of having my keys. This is more like asking (on the other side of the door) if I really mean to open that door.

Um, you might want to look at some hard numbers. That happened, well, probably within a couple years of the "cellphone" being introduced. PCs have never caught up.
If you mean smartphones, the crossover is probably somewhere in 2010-2011.
teens being teens, they'll probably send a thousand SMS for that.
Don't have much experience with teens, do you? My 15-year-old is considered a moderate texter in her circle. 4K+ every month. My nephew (now a young 20-something) hovers closer to 14k.
Yeah. Aggravated w/ weapon usually means he threatened someone face-to-face. That is generally a lot higher priority than "he broke in when no one was home".

Go read what this guy had to say. He responded to your sentiment better than I could.

Since they've already stated that 2.4 is still gingerbread, it will probably only support API 10.
Two, no three points.

Um, I thought that other countries were already manipulating the US dollar by simply hoarding/releasing mounds of the pieces of paper anyway?!?

You, sir, have made me smile. Well done.
Pft! You're not a real sysadmin if you've ever touched emacs long enough to be able to write it in anything.
Once. Long enough to be annoyed that it was so hard to exit out of it. What could be more intuitive than ":q"?
...and "ZZ" takes less finger gymnastics and eliminates that temptation to be silly and use ":x!" or ":wq!" all the time.

But, the actual owner of the IP is under no obligation to grant a license at any cost. That's the catch. Huggin' my CM7 Vision. :)
a skinny one who does what exactly?
Makes bad jokes. Duh!
But will they catch unintentionally malicious behavior that gets un-reviewed code in?
One of you doesn't understand the meaning of one of those words. I'm just not sure which, or which.

Yeah, nobody has ever heard of the Apple 2. Right.
Apple II
Get it right. There a pedants lurking about.
Apple ][
Get it right. There a pedants lurking about.

Well now, that's not even a remotely complete list. Where's Windows 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.1, 3.1.1, NT 3, 3.51, 4, ME,...?
No, no, no! Their grandfathers will be Zaphod B.
Then you might as well mention that DNA also wrote several Dr Who episodes.
Actually, I think that's only a single hundred. Folded funny, though.

Look at the books in question though. Mostly just a mis-OCR of "small".
