When I browse slashdot at least Swedish army intelligence and CIA (and most likely a couple of others) are going to store the browsing. This is not that bad, I do not care, but there are sites I do care (like wikileaks). I do not so much care whether wikileaks is really wikileaks (as thought by a CA), I care that Finnish, Swedish, etc. authorities cannot know what I did on the site. Sure the authorities could trivially buy a cert from a CA and I'd get fooled. But that is much harder to hide. Changing DNS and setting up fake wikileaks (with self-signed or CA signed cert) is illegal (in Finland) making such an act very unlikely.
I mean with thread safe that insert operation in multithreaded C++ is *undefined* (i.e. can and does crash if some other thread is reading from it at the same time).
BTW, queue is hugely slower when most common access is read or update, especially if several threads are doing it simultaneously.
Your only complaint is bloat into which I will not go again.
I humbly disagree, I am a strong supporter of big standard libraries.
For example let's take Python. There is no standard GUI library (Tk, IMHO, is not good enough - and nobody uses it). Therefore e.g. Meld is impossible(?) to get to work in Windows. Not good.
Thread::stop() is deprecated, AWT is not designed to be used (directly). Vector, OTOH, is better than C++ Vector (e.g. insert is thread safe) and I fail to find big problems in it WHEN USED FOR WHAT IT IS DESIGNED FOR. It is not an array nor a Map.
Nobody forces you to use the standard libraries if they are not appropriate for your use case! Sure they add to bloat but that is with todays computers completely immaterial.
I agree the Java class loader is idiotic although it has improved.
I bet you can tell a language which has better - or maybe not as you think they should not be part. I totally disagree on that, I do not want to reinvent the wheel.
Every nuclear facility has probability of catastrophic accident. It is a positive number, usually written as "once every XXX years". Now just multiply that number with needed number of nuclear reactors for the whole world and you'll get a number which is IMHO far too small (bad accident every few tens of years).
I am a proponent of nuclear energy, but not a naive one, we *really* do need wind, solar, conservation...
You forgot threads (and the memory model needed for that, see e.g. http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/c++mm/). Very difficult task to do well, that is why most languages to not even attempt.
Some others worth to consider are libraries (XML, etc.), documentation (Java has good, others have/are catching up), Javadoc and perhaps even support for things like UML, ctags, etc.
The question therefore is: do you trust so little as to get a vaccine for this quite rare disease. Bloody hell, I would not get vaccine for H1N1! After all, vaccines are not without side effects.
Even here in Finland (top of Bothnian bay) there is maybe 50-50 chance of white Christmas, but there definitely is a Winter with capital 'W', going down to -30C and occasionally -40 (last winter was very modest).
Not according to the list ("abused, molested, made to perform sexual acts, or pose in a sexually explicit manner"), as I said.
Besides that would go to the "some other charges", not child pornography. Again as I already said.
I still claim that possessing such videos should get child pornography charges (and some other charges too) whether the film was taken with the girls consent or not (for being underage there cannot be legal consent, but this is theoretical case so...).
I am certain that if you film nude children showering themselves (think ~13 girls after school gym) and have a lot of those films you would, and should, be prosecuted for child pornography. (And likely some other charges too, but that is not the point)
Although no one was harmed (according to the list).

It will live three to five years, so it will not outlive Hubble. After that it has run out of the coolant (helium). By that time it has scanned the whole space a couple of times.
Slashdot Mirror
Let me see ... you go to specialist record store and the advice they give is "this album would be good but I cannot get it, buy it from Amazon" ...
No, the record stores cannot survive solely on the information they have.
if cutting 80% of retailers leads to more than a 20% reduction in costs...
It still wouldn't make sense - in the long run. It might make sense if there were no competition.
When I browse slashdot at least Swedish army intelligence and CIA (and most likely a couple of others) are going to store the browsing. This is not that bad, I do not care, but there are sites I do care (like wikileaks).
I do not so much care whether wikileaks is really wikileaks (as thought by a CA), I care that Finnish, Swedish, etc. authorities cannot know what I did on the site.
Sure the authorities could trivially buy a cert from a CA and I'd get fooled. But that is much harder to hide. Changing DNS and setting up fake wikileaks (with self-signed or CA signed cert) is illegal (in Finland) making such an act very unlikely.
Why self signed certificate is in any shape less trustworthy than one signed by CA? You agree that the "proof" is really "poof".
Encryption without authentication is far from useless, I do not want CIA, Swedish defence forces, etc. to read my communication.

Java has bad libraries???

We do not need russians in the equation.

[...] correspondingly [small] are the environmental impacts [of mining].

I disagree.
Programming languages [...] cannot be "open source"
For the last decade or so the major complaint of Java has been exactly that, "it is not open source".
So I call your statement as a semantics-nitpicking-bullshit.
You forgot threads (and the memory model needed for that, see e.g. http://www.hpl.hp.com/personal/Hans_Boehm/c++mm/). Very difficult task to do well, that is why most languages to not even attempt.

Threads.
C99 has no concept of a memory model (C++ committee is thinking about it and will probably end up in something better than in Java due to hindsight).
POSIX threads definitely are not pert of C99 and whether it defines the memory model well enough is up to debate, it does not for C++.

Switching off-site backups every week is an unnecessary hassle
Depends. I do that with two (500 G) USB hard disks, I take one to work. Not every week, but still far easier than pushing it over 1Mbit/s ADSL.
The question therefore is: do you trust so little as to get a vaccine for this quite rare disease.
Bloody hell, I would not get vaccine for H1N1! After all, vaccines are not without side effects.
Well, it does make a sense, a bit. Think if Microsoft (or Apple - for e.g. iPhone) would prohibit everything made by Brian Gordon.
Obviously situation here is quite different, but Zango definitely is (was?) trying to make thing look the same.
Repeating the same joke is lame. Sorry, not funny anymore.
In the case you were trying to be serious ... get a life.
Fear invasion from Russia???
That was a good joke, I have to admit!
White Christmas is not a good indicator, I think.
Even here in Finland (top of Bothnian bay) there is maybe 50-50 chance of white Christmas, but there definitely is a Winter with capital 'W', going down to -30C and occasionally -40 (last winter was very modest).

I still claim that possessing such videos should get child pornography charges (and some other charges too) whether the film was taken with the girls consent or not (for being underage there cannot be legal consent, but this is theoretical case so ...).
I can think exactly one reason for filming (pre-)teens, storing them on a personal computer and/or exchanging with others.
Maybe you can give some other reason?
I am certain that if you film nude children showering themselves (think ~13 girls after school gym) and have a lot of those films you would, and should, be prosecuted for child pornography. (And likely some other charges too, but that is not the point)
Although no one was harmed (according to the list).
What do you think, does your ISP use RAID or not?
So is RAID good for backups, off-site or on-site?
Bullshit. Wind turbines kill a lot less than e.g. power lines.
As wind is best generated (relatively) close to consumption this could in fact improve the situation.
Anyway the point of the article is that wind power is viable alternative in many circumstances, but most likely not all.
