What don't you agree about the stated fact that Java is one of the most efficient VMs out there? Python maybe extremely good, but long running applications JVM wins out.
Development speed could be better, but IDE's and other tools make it easier.
RSA algorithm is a very precise and concrete mathematical algorithm. Software is only the expression of it. The patent at hand is absolutely vague and is based on a fantasy, literally.
It would be equitable if I took some shrooms and filed for patents for all ideas I would have gotten.
Here is one better, why don't we have some piece of software that swaps between 2 OS'es on the same hardware, but without a virtualization layer! I don't know how to do that, and I am not planning to find out, but I bet I could get a nice settlement just out of having a patent like it.
Literally your own personal problem that you have not been excersizing your brain enough.
I have a colleague who is 46 y/o and he just finished learining Ruby, Ruby on Rails and ObjectiveC. Just for the fun of it.
He is now very comfortable in developing in most programming languages known to man kind:)
Scala being at version 2.7 now, is definitely not less mature than Ruby. Problem with Ruby, that it stagnated for so many years before Ruby on Rails was created.
And the next thing, you probably rate Ruby's maturity by the age of the interpreter. So don't forget that Scala runs on one of them most developed and one of the most mature VM's out there. Java was released in 1995. (Yes, I am implying that JVM is the most mature one of all.)
So, if you look at Scala as a Java superset, it beats the hell out of anything Ruby can throw.
Oh, sure RoR can scale. Problem is that in the end, you will be getting close to a point where putting more H/W is more expensive, then the man power to fix the concurrency issues.
And if you look at the posterchild sites, you mostly see something other then RoR hauling the most heavy load.
I have been in this debate for a really long time now. And, literally, nothing has persuaded me to move from my current set of languages, to scale the back end to ridiculous levels. Sorry Ruby zealots I am already immune to you venoms.
Well I bought one with WinXP on it, but only because local MS bullied most of the companies into having only WinXP versions in stock and Linux only on order. Most of those companies are also OEM's, so no wonder they caved...
However, I am using Jaunty Jackalope on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10e, with WinXP as a last resort OS, after Linux on USB Drive.
And I would immediately switch to MS.NET after 10 years with Java!
I mean, if there is a company as secretive about their plans as Apple, it's probably some kind of governmental intelligence agency.
At least, with MS we know that we are not going to get what they say, but we know that... Apple is a total enigma.

The crappy part is, that the Common Legal system was created for the regular person. I, as a person that lives in the Civil Legal system, feel that I am less vulnerable.
And you really think that you have a reason to protect that system that you live in? Let alone, believe that it's the freest and the "one true way" for everyone?
As a person that lives in the Baltic states and travels a lot between the 3 states, I can say that, unless the person I need to talk to is a total nationalistic nutjob or born after 1990, I communicate in Russian. Rarely do I need to turn to English.
FYI: The current Papa Ratzinger, a.k.a Pope Benedict the XVI, is as German as you can get 'em. You probably never heard with what horrible German accent he speaks...
As one locksmith told me: "Locks are there to keep your peace of mind. It's an illusion. And there is nothing a person can't get into without a little determination. The alarms are there to inform someone of an illegal entry, post factum, and nothing else. "
Apple a trend setter? Ever heard of the ultra-portable(a.k.a Netbook)? Asus was the trend setter here. I don't even know, when was the last time someone followed Apple en masse when they released some "new" MacBook.

Did not RTFA. But sounds like we get another meaning for AIDS acronym - Artificial ImmunoDificiency Syndrome.
But still it is an infinity% comparing to 0. And most people still need to buy a new PC for/with Vista.
But since Apple does not actually have that piece of technology, just the idea for it, WTF are you talking about?
Apple's corporate marketing sucks, big time. On the other hand MS corporate marketing is the ones that left IBM in the early 90-ies.
And that is what people at Ericson did when they needed easy updates of their ERlang based software... Exactly THAT! And in 1987.
Hm.... Erlang does that! Circa 1987! You can even update the program that is mid execution... without stopping the execution off the code.

I am writing this using Firefox. And I just upgraded it without restart. Maybe windows version is worse then Linux one?

Python does have threads. Just GIL makes them run serially. Read up on Python more, my good man.

Late, as always...
Damn, replied to the wrong comment....Once more

All hail Super Mario and other Nintendo games in Japanese!!!! You do know Japanese, do you? Did you ever play Tetris with instructions in Russian?
