Cloud : A meaningless term that encompasses everything from network storage up to a fully virtualised system
By most of the industry definitions a desktop PC is a local single node cloud...!
Ok. I'll bite. Enlighten us oh knowledgeable one. By who's definitions a desktop PC is a cloud? And how is the term meaningless?
Or are you raging on because you can't put that term into your CV?
As much as I hate these sponsored researches, it's correct saying that piracy will not stop. However, it's also correct to say that murder will not stop as well if you take away all firearms and all sharp implements. There are just some things that they have to live with, not that they live in poverty over piracy.
Now, question is - how much copyright infringers will you be able to convert? I bet it's enough to cover costs.
But look, I just used the magic word at the root of it all - costs! It costs more to serve the major segment of copyright infringes and will erode other monetization channels. What they want is to shift the costs of defending their "right to profit" to general public. Because it's cheaper to buy off a politician, than creating and maintaining something like Netflix. Remember - a movie contains a crapload of copyrightable material that requires a separate license/agreement to reproduce a derivative over the new medium - the internet. That is why they have geographical limitations - these copyrighted materials might have been bought only for creating derivative works and distribution of the derivative works in US, because it's cheaper to buy nationwide license vs worldwide.
That is only the date when they decided to make it official. They have been slow to release and update their Java port since about the time iPhone was released.
FYI: Apple dropped Java long time ago. And IBM wasn't that keen on Harmony support anyway, Oracle was a much more vocal Harmony supporter in the pre-Sun merger times...They did, however, force IBM to move their public Java resources to OpenJDK.
And profit motive is what makes a doctor or hospital desire to do a better job (and draw customers away from the competition). If the profit motive did not exist and they knew they would get paid anyway, even if they did a shitty job, then they'd be like government-employed teachers.
Actually heir motive is not doing a better job, heir motive is making sure your HMO gets billed as much or as little as possible(depending on the allegiance of said hospital to your HMO). If you want an example of an actual profit motive, then look at parts of medicine that is not covered by health insurance - plastic surgery is probably the only one. Otherwise, doctors in hospitals are already those bureaucracy employed people, just like teachers.
This should be enforced. And Microsoft has to tell people WHY it's being enforced... Maybe then some politician's kids will complain to their parents and something will be done.
My point is not that strings are objects but that it's easy to make a mistake by coding == instead of.equals (especially when coming from other languages where no such issue exists, C++ or Python). How's that different from forgetting virtual destructors?
A) No idea what a virtual destructor is.
B) It's not easy to make that mistake even after a few days, because in Java you mostly compare everything using.equals(). Comparing something using == is not that widespread in day-to-day coding, even in a short program. Most books and tutorials will point that out early.
C) If you're using something like PMD or FindBugs (Eclipse even has plugins for that), you will get errors with explanations.
D) There are some very clear and straightforward tenants of Java language. If you're coming from other languages and not familiarizing yourself with them, it's really not an issue of the language. Complaining about Java without familiarizing yourself with essential principles, is like complaining that C/C++ has manual memory management and pointers. I came to Java a mere 12 years ago from C, ASM, Pascal, Perl and PHP. Picking up.equals() was never, ever, a problem for me nor anyone I know.
Java is not exactly issue-free as well. For example lack of comparison operator for strings forces a programmer to abandon an intiutive ways of doying things and to always remember to follow the language obscure rules.
String is an object. All objects are to be compared using equals method. It's not obscure by far. Compare that most C++ queries.
If you want a good obscure Java language requirement, it's the fact that arrays are objects and essentially don't have a functional equals method(you have to use java.util.Arrays).( So next time you post this, at least you'll have a good example)
We are talking about the present. Catholic church is pretty damn corrupt, however it's generally not as crazy as the current crop of American protestants.
Just take Mormons as an example.
Wouldn't that preclude the reporting of facts/news about religious violence? I mean, reporting that religious group A has made an attack against religious group B definitely violates Art 19.
Everyone can clearly see how foolish everyone else's religion is. For some reason not many can turn the same critical eye on their own.
There is an actual logical conflict. I might be mistaken, but at least two of those gods are in eternal combat and the followers of one are "morally" obligated to hate the other.

Because it's those several people that sell that movie - a few stars and the director. These mutjobs only provide the initial funding.

Sun had a lot of valuable tech and people. Only a small subset of what makes Java Java has to do with Google.
What did you for->get?

Chillax, reimplemented APIs for compatibility purposes would easily pass under the reverse engineering permission in EU.
Yeah... Right... It's not a lawyer's job to keep up with the matters of law.... oh wait!

And what do you think is the AT32 series?
1. The Microsoft patent grant for C# is more permissive than the patent grant for Java.
Aaa.... No it's not. There is a defensive termination clause(I will be corrected if I'm wrong...) in Microsoft's grant, but not in Oracle's.
I'm sorry, did you just compare a 32bit SoC with an 2 dollar 8bit MCU?
Maybe do a better comparison? http://www.atmel.com/devices/AT32UC3A0256.aspx (And even then...)
Tey evi with google voice rec. Often suprises me how well it works.
Did you dictate that into Evi?

Niope! And there are a lot of HFT platforms to prove you're wrong.
Objective-C is higher than C#? I find it really, really, really hard to believe.

SIMPLE! - All of the major Scandinavian banks.

Creationism is not only anti-evolution.
If you distill those unsubstantiated beliefs to anti-evolution, you're holding it wrong.

To be fair, the Inquisition over the last 100 years isn't the same thing as it was in the 15-18th centuries.
