In java, you can include private classes in the same.java file as a public class and you can also create nested classes. If you make all the data/fields in the class public and have no methods, then what you have a struct.
I plan to sue the very first time my DNS goes down and I lose email because VeriSign bounces it immediately rather than allowing for the standard mail delivery behavior. I pay for a backup services that VeriSign is circumventing.
I am also in the process of filing suit for violation of my privacy. Regardless of their privacy statement, I have no assurance that my accesses are protected. For example, VeriSign can now easily implement a password harvesting site that emulates, for example, Yahoo's login page, and many users will never notice they typo.
I make my living from the internet and VeriSign has just thrown my entire livelyhood into chaos. Until all the tools I use are patched to work around the problem, it is going to cost me a fortune to double and triple check my typing and work around them manually and I intend to get every penny back from VeriSign.
If there are ways to avoid them completely (like going into the BIOS first, in this case), they can never prove that you saw the license nor that you accepted it.
If companies expect that you'll ignore or that you must just click though to use the product without reading it (as in this case), then they aren't license agreements. They are nag screens with no legal value at all.
Does anyone have a plan for getting rid of software patents in the US? I mean, you can't just one day say "Ok, no new software patents and all old software patents a null and void". It'll never happen. There's simply too much money involved and that money is being used to ensure software patents continue.
I think the only way to change things is to convince big business that they are hurting themselves more by patenting software than by allowing it to be free. But to do that when companies are making millions from patents right now?
MAME is perfectly legal. The problem is the ROMs. Gaming companies have missed the boat bigtime by not offering the ROMs legally for a small fee (or free).
I'd pay a few bucks for the official MAME-compatible ROMs for my favorite games, though, since they are all available freely, why pay at this point.
If a child is has violent tendencies, they are already well in place by the time they are a teen. Video games, movies, music, television, friends, family, school, animals, chat rooms,... who knows what might set someone off? The argument is a typical shortsighted view of a problem, i.e. "Why are children violent? Oh, because they are surrounded by violence." NOPE! Well, sort of but because, in most cases, the are raised to be desensitized to violence. But no one wants to tell the parents that they fucked up raising their child so we blame it on anything and everything else that's an easy target. Bottom line is that parents need to be more active expressing unconditional love and compassion throughout a childs youth. The children that don't get that love and compassion will seek it elsewhere and will be influenced from those other than the parents which will potentially lead to antisocial behavior. End of story.
I think it's important not just that the axioms be well chosen,
but that there be few of them. [emphasis added]
The author should read a little about different models of computation. Factor Replacement Systems, Register Machines, Thue Systems, and on and on... Most are quite simple and all are complete computational models that few people would ever consider using as a real programming lanugage. Although having few axioms is important, a more important concept in a language's longevity is adaptability. Adaptability to solving problems and to future modifications to the language itself, i.e. it's evolution, and designing for that is simply impossible.
In addition, it's completely rediculous to try and design a programming language for a 100 years from now because programming languages are designed to solve problems and we have no idea of the kinds problems humankind will be solving in 100 years.
I work for Oracle and have worked on database driven web sites since late '95. The technology seemed so obvious to me that i never even considered that it was patentable.
Just a thought. It'd be pretty cool if there was an installation for Apache that could stop IIS services and configure itself similar (but securely) to IIS (i.e. virtual directories, ports, modules,...).

Thanks for using the proper case for Unix. It's starting to become pet peeve of mine when people use "UNIX" to mean Unix.
But Microsoft will still exist and they'll surely find another lackey or two to take SCO's place.

Jabber and email. If my contacts won't change to Jabber, then we'll just use email as we have been for years.

with no mention of M.A.M.E.?
If they try to break this scheme will they be violating DMCA?
Personally, I suspect Microsoft is behind this. Do we know who SCO's lawyers are?
or so the saying goes.

because some people are used to sites that do that automatically so they forget and just post right away rather than preview first.
