All they need to do is send all of the developers in that OSS company an all expense paid year long round the world cruise(no internet connection on board). That will cost them less than buying the company and will definitely disable the company for a year....
Their core business is DBMS. But when they took over BEA systems, they basically threw out their own software that was competing with BEA's. So I'd say, it depends on how they do it. Since they both killed off and embraced.
There is a minimal amount of RAM a thread will definitely consume(I think it was somewhere about 1MB). And BTW threads don't have their own address spaces, threads share their address space within their process. While processes have their own address spaces.
While I agree that letting loose the nuke was the right decision ultimately, it could have been wisely done in 2 stages:
- Drop the nuke on a low populated or unpopulated area to show the destructive power
- Give 24 hours of "thinking time" to capitulate unconditionally
- Drop the bomb on a densely populated area
Basically, that is why I believe that US administration at that time had 0% of wise people on staff. Not that most administrations(of all countries) have a lot of them...
OMG! As usual Americans have strange understanding of their own international history beyond the revolution. In WW1 that telegram was the least important item in deciding to declare war. It was probably the same as WMD was a "real" and important reason to invade Iraq.
WW2 and Korea had much more reasons to declare war.
Idiots do... (Ooops I guess I just called you an idiot.). Every smart person knows the value of another profession. There are some professions that are called unqualified professions for a reason...
Well in Ireland people call the H letter as/het/, therefore from an Irish perspective a HTML5 UI is 100% correct, but in US H's name is pronounced/et/ therefore an HTML5 UI is correct from your perspective...
Damn it's hard to remember that there are other cultures outside of US, right?
Well.... Buzzwise, Europe is as much hyped up about iPhone and Android as the rest of the places, but when it comes to buying decisions people actually think before they buy. I mean, the iPhone plans in Europe are outrageous....
Would he build it? Carve it out of an existing state? Raise the sea floor? Or wait till Puerto Rico becomes a state? I hear Iran is welcome relief to people like that...
EC has a positive element - it has some members that are from small countries, that can suffer some serious personal injury if they stop representing their constituencies, or are one of the least corrupt nations in the world.

Long live BIOS!

I think that is the whole idea behind this.
Hm... Then your mind would be blown away by DB2 on Mainframe.
Being payed to do nothing doesn't work for long, especially with people that are in open-source.
And how many PostgreSQL guys actually worked for Sun for a while? Sun guys actually were a huge part of the in place upgrade project.

You do understand that you just blew your own pro-.NET comment, don't you?

New stuff isn't easier. Java NIO just allows for more connections to be handled simultaneously.
You forget financial and arms backing from an interested party.
US is the only country that actively pursued the goal of that kind of reach. Everyone else, just did/does not care enough.

Up until Americans* can critically evaluate the Vietnam war it's lessons will not be heard.
* - As a nation, not a part of it
Don't forget, if we would go back to the ways wars were fought 2000 years ago, we would destroy the surface of this planet several times over....

FYI: The Jazelle in ARM's is the JVM "accelerator", not H/W level JVM.

How else would they "have an app for that"?

Testing? There has been a special IBM Firefox build for over 4 years now. And actual, usable set of plugins for internal use.

You had and have that option, they don't.
