Actually the problem is not the fact that you can post comments without informing his name. The problem is you can attack others with offensive comments and / or libelous, hiding under anonymity to avoid the consequences. That here, slandering a person is a crime.
To be a judge here, you must be wealthy and sell his soul. Incidentally, you are sure you want to be judge in one of the most corrupt judicial systems in the world?
You know you fly through a cloud of volcanic ash damage the engines, maybe causing them to stop and perhaps permanently. So why risk it? The airlines want to risk because money is more important to them than the lives of their passengers.
Sorry, not on the world below the Equator line. Here one SSD like you cited is "luxury", and with a price tag very, very very big for a PC storage (intel X25-M 160GB costs US$1000 here). The only good thing on SSDs acessible here is the access time, the rest is garbage at best.
And here, a PC needs to last much more than two years, someones are in use (and working well) for more than 10 years. No actual SSD can do this.
The cost-benefit of an SSD is still very bad. It is bad for write operations (the OS lives writing stuff all the time while using the PC), over time it loses performance and the problem of wear makes it has a limited shelf life (even with all the techniques of wear leveling) compared with an HD of the same size.
As if this were not enough, the market is saturated by junk SSDs with JMicron controllers and junky MLC memories, with performances so terrible they can be worse than a hard drive of same capacity. The buyer is afraid to take garbage for the price of luxury, and then just avoiding buying.
And the cost in most countries is really prohibitive: As an example, here in Brazil a 160GB SATA SSD Intel X25-M is US$ 1000. No kidding.
I agree. It is the main reason I avoid SSDs, besides the price: They are bad in important activities of an OS, such as keeping logs updated and hundreds of small writing that they are always doing (eg, update the date of last access of a file). And we can not ignore the problem of wear, which unlike a hard drive that can be written many many times, an SSD has a limit of write operations, and this is a small limit for an OS that writes things all the time during PC operation.
And of course, also have the problem of garbage SSDs sold in huge quantities (in my country is what most have), which even though they cost several times more than an HD equivalent, have worse performance than a HD.
The creators of Java, of course:) I still remember the beginning, when they said it would work on anything (even coffe makers) and that would solve all problems. Hehe.
My work at the company is "making the impossible possible" (how I ended up doing in this case). What bothers me in this particular case is that a language that claims to be "the solution to all problems" and that "works even on toasters" had to be able to do things like this without hacks.
The printing library exists, but is incomplete (lacks port status) and buggy. Is why I needed to find something else.
And again, What I will use? USB? Java do not support then too.
Well, My clients still uses special hardware and printers with parallel and serial interfaces (and works well, why change?). And many other devices still have good use for then.
You can suggest USB, rigth? I thought about it, but the USB support of Java is also missing (And the third-party implementations are defective). Which way to go? I'll still end up using C for this type of work.
I agree. As a personal example, a few days ago I needed to create a java application that could communicate directly with the parallel port for the printer status. I found that I need the javax.comm, but it does not come as part of the JVM. And after much work to install it I found that Java was still unable to do what I needed (read the status flags of the parallel port), and to make matters worse I found that support for Windows is... nonexistent (i need the program working both on Linux and Windows).
Then I could solve the issue with a "hack" of others, but any language that is proposed to be a "language of general use" should do that sort of thing without hacks.
I do not need to waste my time arguing with what seems to be a bully angry with what I wrote. I just need to mention the various problems in the U.S. are having with people who, desperate to stop the bullying - and no one bothers to avoid - end up committing even worse acts. But for you a bunch of sociopaths to harass a person she did not see another way out other than suicide is more "acceptable", right?
Some victims, seeing that nobody will bother to help them, take up weapons and go to school to kill as many as possible (the source of their suffering) until being killed by the police or committing suicide. It would be so easy to avoid this by exemplary punish the bullies, but I see that the culture of schools is to encourage the bullies...
How many victims will be necessary before a bullie be punished for harming someone?
I Disagree. A good developer needs much more than math, and you spend on a University too much time with irrelevant (to the generic developer) things like integral calculus and Differential Equations as example.
Honestly, I would have been happier if they had spent the two years of advanced mathematics that forced me to do on more useful things such as finance, design and advanced programming techniques.
And note, now I am a full developer with many systems running, and my work never had to use any advanced math.
Welcome to modern bloatware world. Is like many "new and shiny" Java projects I need to look and modify, where the "coding pattern" is more important than function.
I agree. Why make a new code from scratch, if the result is again difficult to use, incomplete and full of bugs? It makes no sense to me. Even in a beta state, the new code should be better than the previous one to justify its development.

When you ran out of resources to your civilization, you can use a trainer or one or two cheat codes.
Uh? oh oh, wait! wrong game
Hehe, bad Google translation. The correct is sell your soul. English is not my native language.
Exactly. Lies about someone can do a LOT of damage.

No country have real free speech.

Do not buy PS3 and screw Sony, simple. Sony is mad, and there's no arguing with mads.

I liked. If is a marketing move, is a really, really good one.
OS/2 runs a entire hydroeletric powerplant here, and just fine.
I think there's a lot of prior art on this one...
I know, of course. But try to say this to your client (and it is the government) :)
