A project done in Java will cost 5 times as much, take twice as long, and be harder to maintain than a project done in a scripting language such as PHP or Perl
This probably says more about the poor teaching than the Java language itself.
I do not know the intentions of the creator of this virus/worm, but it could have been a lot more malicious. It will hopefully be a wake up call to people to secure their systems, before something really bad is unleashed.
Microsoft it not afraid to lose millions on random attempts at gaining market share. They can keep trying and trying until they succeed, and drive other companies out of business. If they fail, oh well. Lessons learned and try again.
I think people hate Lucas because after 22 years they have built up their own vision of what Star Wars is/was. Just so happens that it did not match what Lucas' original vision was. They now think that Lucas has *robbed* them of their childhood or something.
It just goes to show how powerful the first 3 movies were that people feel so violated, I guess.
But this story is ruined when Lucas switches the ability to use The Force from a mystical thing that anyone could have in us, to merely a bunch of midichlorians (a thinly covered version of the weird mitochondria stories) which you either have or don't have a birth. If you don't have them, then you truly are forever to be low. That's the revised explanation Ep I gave us.
For one thing, according to Qui-Gon, everyone has midichlorians, they are in all life. Some have more than others. In theory, everyone has *some* level of force ability. The people with less force ability just need to work harder, and will have less ability. You always need some base level of ability. No matter how hard most people work, they will never be as good as Michael Jordan at basketball!
Luke was not good that the Force because he practiced or was lucky. He was the son of Darth Vader! Like father like son. Genetics played a role in it from the beginning.
The mystical nature is still there in that we have no idea how the midichlorians realy work or what the force really is.
I think the C3PO/R2D2 banter is hilarious, esp. in Episode II. (C3P0: "this is such a drag!")
Also, I think Jar Jar is funny. I even think the fart jokes are funny in EP I. (well, fart jokes *are* funny)
I was 10 when the first one came out and did not give a crap about dialog and acting. I was so pumped after seeing it, and SW has forever dominated my destiny! I have the same mindset when I see the new ones.

I do not agree. The latest Spiderman movie was a retelling of the spiderman story. I had no problem with it. Even the LOTR movie was a re-telling of the story, and I am glad they did that too.
Embellishing a story as time passes is one of the hallmarks of story telling! Back when a story was told word-of-mouth, each story-teller would add his own style and change the text a bit!

That would be cool!

I don't understand it myself.

once you tell a story, it belongs to everyone.

I see nothing wrong with it.
I have read the series four times now, and God Emperor still comes out on top!
Looks just as hard to maintain and unreadable as regular C++. Great!
