It's a risk--few enterprises are aware of, or ready for, Scala...
Except Twitter, as a huge, notable exception, which is why I thought of Scala as a suitable option for the OP. I wonder, however, how Scala might be affected by the Oracle business that is scaring away the OP from Java, since one of the selling points for Scala is that it can run on prexissting JVM setups. I am not very familiar with the situation, myself, so I don't know if it is really an issue.
Whoops! Got me there! It isn't that they all use the same blank password, they actually don't use a password at all! Unencrypted networks don't have a key, nor do they (generally) have a password.
Whatever... My point was that there is no difference between a passwordless network and one that has a standard (empty) password which you never need to enter. Furthermore, as far as authentication is concerned, there is no difference between an open, passwordless network and a WPA2-encrypted network with a standard, well-known passphrase like "free". Except that you do have to enter the standard password, unless it is so standard that your client takes care of it for you.
Mostly Harmless, who I was responding to, said,
I don't like the sound of "standard default password."
and then went on to describe ways of publicizing the password without just standardizing on a universal one. I was pointing out that this is not much different from our current situation of unsecured networks.
The main difference between this and the status quo is that with open networks, it is very easy to log in. I currently maintain a network for a small cafe, and I have heard people express gladness that it is easier to log in to our network than, for instance, the ones at Starbucks or McDonalds. Customer service is a reason that open networks are popular, and I don't see that changing quickly.
What are we looking at there, exactly? With the camera moving back and forth, it seems like they are counting the number of YouTube viewers they can make ill from motion sickness.
But wouldn't the children independently develop the same immunity if brought up in the same mithridizing environment? Sorry if this is obvious to you, I am just trying to flesh out my thoughts:
Take a sample of people from North America, and a sample from Africa, and the former population will show a much stronger resistance to, say, polio. That is not because my generation inherited a resistance from the people in the 1950s, when polio vaccination got going. It is because in the West we live in an environment where everyone is vaccinated, whereas in Africa it was unusual until recently.
I am trying to figure out why this could not be the case for generations of fish that have grown up in this toxic part of the river. They grow up swimming in these toxic waters, born to parents who have done the same. Why shouldn't they have a significantly stronger immunity to the toxin than fish who have lived elsewhere?
Makes me wonder about the patterns of migration, and their interactions with fish from other parts of the river.
Guy Fish: "Hey, baby. *cough* How can you live like this? Come over my way, spawn with me. Our young can swim along through life, free of this filth. *kack*"
Girl fish: "Aw, that sounds nice, honey. Let's go!"
Mama fish: "My baby! If you go with him, I'll never see my grandchildren!"
Call 'bullshit' if you like; I would call 'sarcastic'.
GGP wrote an evenhanded paragraph explaining evolution's relationship to taxonomies, then launched into a strange tirade about people who don't believe in evolution when it's truth is slapping them in the face. Then GP (I believe) responded to the tirade by taking "undeniable facts and undeniable evidence" to its logical conclusion. I think the facetious point was: even if every scrap of evidence unearthed by biologists points towards evolution, most of us are not biologists, and so never even encounter much evidence ourselves directly, and are unable to interpret what we do see.
I suspect that you and GNUALMAFUERTE are on the same page.
Man, I am always booting into the wrong Brain Operating System in the morning. I need to remember to change the GRUB default to my morning OS, but between showering and racing through breakfast, it always slips my mind by the time I run out the door.

By that logic, I can say that Windows failed against Linux. But we just need to wait until the year of the Linux Desktop.
Fixed that for you.
Not ruling that out.
I personally know people whose parents who did not register them for an SSN at birth for precisely this reason.
Oh, and I see that Sage had an alpha, too. What fun!
Many people who are legally blind have sufficient vision to see the sign, but have great difficulty reading the lettering.
Not if you can prove you are trying to make it dual-boot Chromium OS.
Yeah but how often do you leave earprints at the scene of a crime?
Never. I keep my earmuffs right next to my gloves and crowbar, in my burglary man-purse.

Yay! Everybody wins!
Unencrypted access points already use a standard password: the empty password. How is this any different?
It does not need to be creative. It only needs to be convincing.
Of course they would not have harmed him; they were being paid handsomely to keep him safe!
Just what is the difference between Chrome and Chromium, exactly? Aside from branding.
Very interesting ideas there; thanks for the link.
I'm not sure it works that way if you post anonymously...
Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech...
As far as I can see, the Bill of Rights adds no qualifiers to speech. Am I missing something?

What is the record for going directly downwind, on a run?

I predict that this thread will be characterized by civil discussion and insightful exchange of ideas, with little or no flamage
Don't quit your day job.
Richard Fairbank, is that you?
Are you aware that on most typewriters, you can reposition the TAB stops?
