Some of these directives may be VM specific and might change the way synchronization or allocation works in such a way that it's inconsistent with the "default" and break applications that weren't tested with these options. Additionally, Java has a tendency to pre-allocate memory when it's not needed in preparation for future allocation. Operating systems will likely show this as "memory in use" even though Java will give up this memory when it detects the OS is running low. Users that aren't aware of this may claim "Java is a memory hog" when really it's just being efficient. Allowing developers to put a cap on this maximum size can help alleviate users complaints as the developer should be able to determine a reasonable maximum amount of memory.
I'm sure Netflix has hedged their bet on Silverlight considering instant watch is their core business or at least that's what they foresee their core business becoming.
I thoroughly enjoy most of the Samsung modifications. Toggles in the notification screen, white-on-black (especially important for OLED), swipe-to-call... Everything is pretty consistent and works pretty well I feel.
HTC phones seem (to me, an experienced TouchWiz user) archaic and unusable.
Now the garbage that the carriers install (redundant for-pay irremovable EULA-ridden navigation, etc) is an entirely different situation.
These are the same lies that cable companies provide.
Theoretically the average bill should be the same, some will go down and some will go up. If no-one ends up paying for the dumb channels, they will no longer be offered and bill totals should, on average, decrease.
Scanning to a computer is still difficult, time consuming, and error prone.
Emailing with attachments (especially over Exchange) is still an awful experience.
Printing from any computer to any printer is still a nightmare.
Fax machines do all this for you and it almost always works.
So with zero extra tuners:
One tuner is used to show the current channel and one to load the next channel. The previous channel can be buffered. Once the next channel is received the previous channel is refreshed and so on. When another show is being recorded this latency reducing algorithm is not used and channel changing takes the same amount of time as it did before. Any additional tuners can be used to allow the lower latency switching while additional shows are recorded.
Thanks you kind sir, whatever would we do without the grammar police! You have no idea the life changing impact your pointing out of this (unusual) mistake has has on my life! You are truly in my debt!
As for the grammar police calling others trolls, wouldn't that be a little hypocritical?
Or look at it this way, Harvard accepts people who are willing to take advantage of others for their own personal gain and the gain of other Harvard graduates.
Harvard is the epitome of wealth condensation. If Harvard only chose to accept the smartest student then 90% of the students that attend would be at or below middle class. That's not the case. It's hard to measure their efficiency at furthering science, but anyone group with a shit load of money, the clout of Harvard, and a fair amount of reasonably smart people could produce all those things you listed.

Just leave it to future generations to solve the problem of reading archived data. It's like climate change.
I guess politicians could also be included in this group as well.
It's also a threat to anyone that depends on other people to be stupid, mostly scammers.
"which makes the conduction electrons more immune to outside influence" How can something be more or less immune than another?

The WTF on silicon was because silicon was listed as a precious metal despite it being abundant.
CS curricula is also quite disconnected with what employers are having CS graduates do.
After which the assets of Aureal were purchased by Creative.
This crap is an architecture decision and not Java specific.
Hence the subject of the comment.

Not to mention focusing on a translucent surface where the image behind the surface is constantly moving. Oy.
It's cool that independent re-invention or implementing this patent from scratch would take less time than reading the actual patent.
Since when do consumers know what exabit means?

I was just letting our good friend Stuart know how his response of just 'yes' is regarded by readers of this site. There's nothing wrong with honesty.

It's a smart-ass reply that is more confusing and less polite then "both, actually".
You sound like someone paying huge sums of money for something they know deep down isn't worth it.

You're living in a fairytale.
