I believe that so-called "signature" doesn't need to be a written rederring of your legal name. You can write "foobar", and it could still be a legally bind agreement. It just needs to be "marked" by you.
The standard argument against "God created the world in 7 days in 4004 BC, along with fossils and other evidence that the world was actually 15 billion years old", is that it is not God's nature to deceive.
That and astronomy... whenever an object evolving around the Sun is discovered, we have the media trying to define whether it's an astroid, planet, death star, etc.

I would had prefer Java 2000 over Java 2. The first one is clearly meant to be used for marketing purposes ( I think you Sun guys call it branding ). The later is ambiguous. I can't tell if it's a marketing name or an engineering version name.
Agree with all points except spam filtering. As far as I know, none of the major free web mail services offer personalized email filtering. That is they do not allow for bayes learning on a personal level. (yahoo provides that feature only if you pay them).
it's a popular mis-conception that "innocent until proven guilty" applies universally in all legal arena. The burden of proof is on the side of the accused in criminal cases. But for civil matters (contract/IP/etc.), the evidence speaks for itself, and if the evidence is not favourable to the plantiff, then plantiff has burden of proof of no wrong doing.
It actually comforts me to find what I consider to be propaganda on news.google.com. If you only wish to find journalism which wholely agrees with your world view, then by all means stay away from news.google.com. When it comes to news, multiple contrasting sources will better approximate reality than a monolithic pool.
Yeah, RMS dropped the ball on this one. Perhaps he could have used the term Liberal Software, or Liberty Software, or even Community Software, or Communal Software. Although Communist Software would not work in the US:)
The point of automated mail sorting isn't about having 0 false negatives. It's about having a lower false negative than if YOU were to sit down and sort the hundreds of spam yourself.
psam@einstein ~ $ java qwer public keyword is not needed for execution psam@einstein ~ $ cat qwer.java class qwer {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
System.out.println( "public keyword is not needed for execution" );
} }
for sure! Notice he put in the "public" keyword when declaring the class. That keyword was TOTALLY unnecessary in an allegged quick and dirty script that he claims he was testing.
That's true. After taking CS246 with Cowan, and CS342 with PK... I did claim to know OOP and C++, and put those keywords on my resume.
But my point is that taking a couple of undergrad courses* does not make you a "real programmer". At least no more than getting an BMath make you a "real mathematician"
* Well... taking realtime/compilers/graphics sure does give you some practice though:)

I'd bet there are more Americans booing W than Canadians.
Unlike Iraq, China actually DOES possess WMD. :) Why they hell would Bush wanna fight China?

There are folks in the world who pick and choose what they want to believe in religious text like the Bible and the Quran. They are fundamentalists.

Yeah! The Java naming conventions are almost as bad as Solaris/SunOS ... Sun should fire their marketing department!!
But here's how I see it:
Marketing names maps to Version names:
Java (1.0-1.1.x)
Java2 (1.2 - 1.4)
Java5 (1.5 - ??)
*sigh* they suck.

IANAL, of course.

yeah I had him for cs251 as well... That guy may be an amzing graphics guy ... but he can't teach himself out of a paper bag.
Hey, that's the way they implement heat shields for the Gundam mecha's as well. kewl!! I never thought someone would take it seriously.

DES is designed for non-military, non-classified, "sensitive" information. So give DES a break, would ya? :)
The business world (banks) has VAST amount of infrastructure and capital invested in DES and 3DES, and it will not go away anytime soon.
yeah well.. 5 pounds is like a gazillion american dollar, ok?
fine in theory, but unlike Habeas, most people don't have an army of lawyers to enforce copyright laws.
How is this insightful? It offers no insight. Most people already know this.
Maybe if the OP offers a critique of how AES was implemented in 802.11i, then it's insightful...
That's a waste of time. That correct thing to do is to install Cygwin, then you can use all the, albeit gnu style, unix utilities you want.
If you hate gnu utilities, you can pay mks a bunch of money for their port of posix compliant unix utilities.
yeah, I know what you mean. It's almost one of those things, where it's hard to understand the usefullness until you try it.

not quite ... if you want the main() function to execute when you invoke "java", main() must have the following signature:
public static void main( String[] args )
psam@einstein ~ $ java qwer
public keyword is not needed for execution
psam@einstein ~ $ cat qwer.java
class qwer {
public static void main( String[] args ) {
System.out.println( "public keyword is not needed for execution" );
}
}
for sure! Notice he put in the "public" keyword when declaring the class. That keyword was TOTALLY unnecessary in an allegged quick and dirty script that he claims he was testing.
