actually sun has opened up a lot of java. I forget everything that they did, but I think that they are basically going to manage the standards and let others create implementations of it. I beleive that they also abolished many if not all of their royalty policies so it will open up many oportunities for some companies.

few things really irritate me, but being a java purist (even more so than linux) I really can't stand java being called a flop, it isn't gone, it hasn't receeded, it is growing and getting more useful and even more universal all the time. I think that java is an incredible key technology that is getting overlooked. I think that in a few years java will have hardware acceleration, native compilation and will have a whole lot more developers. I don't think that there are many non-proprietary programs written in java now, but that will change when programmers find out how easy it is, and there are more JRE (java runtime environments). I seems like such an incredible tool with incredible potential but right now all it is getting used for is applets.
I think the real advantage is when operating systems become 64 bit, windows probably own't be for a long while, but is linux going to be 64 bit when it is ready on x86 architectures?
Why don't they just accept the fact that copying is going to happen. It has already been stated n here that if you can see it, it is in your grasp to copy it. I am surprised CD burners aren't getting more of a shaft, or is that a lost cause for copyright extremists. They go after mp3's and DVD's like mad.
Do you think that it is possible to create an unstoppable virus? What I mean by this is a virus that cannot be stopped, even if the source code if found, and spreads indefinitly, by many means such as e-mail, instant messaging protocols, brute forcing through various network protocols, attaching to files, boot sectors of disks, and/or various vulnerabilities. I have thought about this and have not come to a conclusion. I would that if possible it would have to use many or all of the above "techniques" along with a clever mutation of some kind, maybe even patterns used by real virus' and rapid evolution. (Many are created with slight alterations, whichever ones spread more survive and copy themselves more). What are your thoughts on this?

hell yeah, the father of computers!
