The Nova 2 has been created by Starchaser to test a safety system which, if successful, will form the design of an even bigger rocket to carry visitors into space.
also i am quite sure you can't test a concept drawing
I did read it thank you very much and the second article was from the same website and appeared to be to be neutral and had nothing about ICE AGES in it anyway.
FACT: global warming exists
FACT: global warming is very likely to cause an ice age.
show me an article which explains why global warming will not cause an ice age and why theories saying it will are incorrect
the above linked articles did neither and had no evidence connected to them.
"nd the faint (but real) possibility that the whole thing will cycle out of control and render the planet uninhabitable. No, that would require giving up some smugness. And we at Slashdot value our smugness!"
How about giving up our panic attacks.
1. Will we loose crop land or will it just shift?
2. The extinction of thousands of species? What date do have for that number? Or is just a guess?
3. increase in catastrophic weather? That one I really question. Most catastrophic weather are basically heat engines. What most people don't get is that heat engines are not driven by heat but by heat differential. Since the heat increase is greater at the poles than the tropics it would tend to equal out the temperature differentials of course the question then will be what effect it will have in the temperature differentials in the vertical column.
The thing is that climate does change over time. Life adapts and some life will do better and some worse if global warming predictions hold out.
Am I saying we shouldn't worry about global warming or that we shouldn't cut our CO2? Not at all I think it is the prudent action with the data we have.
Do I think it is a proven fact? Not really.
Of course the problem is out of our hands. China and India will do nothing to cut there emissions. China has already exceeded the US in emissions (not per person but in total emissions) and I would bet that India isn't far behind. If it is real I doubt that we can even really slow it at this point
Look up the great ocean conveyor and try to figer out what would happen if it stoped
have you never heard of heat lamps.
there far easier to take to mars then lots and lots and lots and...................
of soil.
Or we could always build loads of factories there and start global warming.
Static typing sucks. It might catch the 0.1% of use cases where a programmer confuses the types of arguments and calls (or tries to call) code with the wrong argument types. That kind of error is typically picked up during testing anyway.
Dynamic testing is far more flexible. I can write functions which accept objects of various types as function arguments without having to kludge up my class hierarchy to make them all inherit from some common parent class, or all provide some specific interface.
Interfaces is a really great idea implemented in a really lame manner in the language. As I understand it, defining the interface means only specifying prototypes for the methods and arguments within the interface. No functional code. So you have to write the code for the interface yourself (in your class, or a parent class). And because Java doesn't have multiple inheritance, you can't just write the code relating to the interface only once - unless you can add it to some common parent class. And if you _do_ have a common parent class, you don't need to use the interface mechanism!
in Java you can cast any type to another type (excluding the numbers int,long and stuff which can be cast to each other)
e.g.
My biggest complaint with Java web development is that most of the libraries, toolkits and frameworks are massively over-engineered, and that causes many Java projects to be massively over-engineered. Google probably needs the flexibility, extensibility and scalability the libraries provide. Not so much for the internal web apps that Java gets used on so often.
I can't count the number of times I've seen Java web apps running on massive servers providing functionality that could easily be provided by some Perl scripts running on a machine a fraction of the size.
where do you get your information?
no really where?
Plus, Java sucks. not true
GUI is slow FACT: the GUI is not slow it is fast as any other programs GUI and less buggy because it is easier to create one!
and the only way to get the code to run reasonably fast is to compile it, which kind of misses the point. what JVM do you use as suns server and client JVMs run quite fast and optimise allot whilst running.
It puts an added burden on all the users, and can be a headache to anyone in charge of wide scale deployment in an organization. WTF! how?
It's a blight, and we would be better off with out it. Everything done in Java would have been done in another language.
Agreed, but the problem is getting enough of the gun owners to agree that things are Bad Enough. As I wrote in a friend's LJ entry (talking about state-by-state differences in gun laws, and how the "Red" areas of the country generally have much more liberal gun laws than the "Blue" areas) not long ago:
The problem, and it's a big one, is that most of the Deep Red gun owners show no motivation to defend themselves against the current most likely form of tyranny in America. UN black helicopters? They're locked, cocked, and ready to rock. But US green helicopters? Peachy keen. Go USA! Get them eeevil terrists!
These are the people who elected Bush. Twice. If you think they're going to stand up for traditional American liberties when freaks like us are being dragged off to Gitmo, you're not paying attention.
Also, while an armed populace that's sufficiently pissed off to rebel may indeed be the final option in the case of governmental tyranny, it's not a solution anyone should hope for. Civil wars are ugly, ugly things, and we should try every possible legal solution before resorting to blood in the streets.
Slashdot Mirror
one with mod points der..............
what about IA64 or x64
that is if you don't already use the?
i wound say wikipedia but it appears not to have an article on flat atoms :-(
The Nova 2 has been created by Starchaser to test a safety system which, if successful, will form the design of an even bigger rocket to carry visitors into space.
also i am quite sure you can't test a concept drawing
I have only ever had FF3 crash when it receives an update and restarts but as long as I can restore my session i am happy
FF3 runs much faster then FF2 on my computer and is probably one of the faster programs i use
The article said the company owned tea shops not that it was a tea company.
texting is visual for much longer than any thing else listed here
Java 3D is very much alive as it's realising nightly build.
perhaps you should search for
"climate change" , ice age there is so much information your punny brain won't be avail to proses it anyway
yahoo search
here is some info
this makes it realy clear if you read all of it!
FACT: global warming exists
FACT: global warming is very likely to cause an ice age.
show me an article which explains why global warming will not cause an ice age and why theories saying it will are incorrect
the above linked articles did neither and had no evidence connected to them.
programmers over engineering java apps != java is bad
programmer over engineering java app == programmer is bad!
That is one article with little to no evidence or proof in it against millions of scientists and a pre-historic event
you forgot Java 3D

two words ICE AGE I don't think an ice age will give you ANY more cropland
you forgot the fact that this is likely to lead to an ice age. So at that point
More Solar Conversion = Global Cooling = BAD

Java's speed is equal to C++ using in many ways. And probably run faster without compiling it as it is optimised allot whilst running in the JVM.

where do you get your information? no really where?What does Java do that couldn't have been done better by another language that existed 11 years ago? Nothing. There fore it doesn't really matter.
what can C++ or C do that can't be done in Java?It's a blight, and we would be better off with out it. Everything done in Java would have been done in another language.
and vice versaAgreed, but the problem is getting enough of the gun owners to agree that things are Bad Enough.

doesn't this law make rebelling legal?Java is a very good programming language, which is not buggy
