How has Java changed in regards to threading in 1.5? Unless it's on the Sun JVM side, I'm unaware of any language changes in 1.5 that effect threading.
Stoplights are in an order because mixing them up randomly would be stupid. It doesn't help color blind people at night, at all. I've run more than my fair share of red lights at night, due to colorblindness.
Did you just seriously write three full paragraphs saying that you don't know what you're talking about?
The OSI and TCP/IP models are not even remotely analagous to the Cisco model of Core / Distribution / Access. OSI and TCP are describing network stacks, the Cisco model is describing a suggested physical network topology. Since your assumptions are unbelievably false, and you haven't bothered to do even the most cursory amount of research, the rest of your bits are wasted. Way to go.
How does 50k of salary equate to $50-70 per hour? I'm assuming 40 hours per week and 50 weeks per year; that's 2000 hours per year. At 50k per year, that's $25 per hour.
Did you read the emails? He's being annoying by being a prick. I would argue he's better known in open source circles for his skill at being a prick then his skill at coding.
You and the rest of the loud-pipes-save-lifes believers are morons.
I ride; a shitty old metric bike that's all I can afford. Believe it or not, despite my lack of bone-rattling pipes, I manage to stay alive. I pay attention to everything around me, and avoid dangerous situations. Whenever possible, I avoid being next to a car such that they could change lanes into me. When I approach an intersection, I cover my front brake and slow down, so if someone decides to turn irregularly or otherwise cut me off, I'll be able to stop in time. I actively ride as if there's a giant obstacle just out of my range of vision; it keeps me alive.
As for not being able to hear emergency vehicles; I'll grant wind noise is quite loud at highway speed. I also have had emergency vehicles overtake me on the highway, and I've never had a problem hearing them. Perhaps you should try wearing a helmet? It's your life, I don't particularly care.
More and more municipalities are banning modified pipes on bikes, because of people like you. I don't really care, but I do take offense at the weak excuse of safety. The only thing keeping you safe on a bike is your skill and your gear; loud pipes only add to ill will felt toward bikers. If you like how it sounds, just freaking own up to it.
That would be a great trick; I currently keep my (8+GB) of documents in an SVN repository, and the fact that it uses WebDAV makes accessing my documents from anywhere on the net as simple as visiting a web page.
I've come across this problem as well, and it seems to me that it's really not very hard, just that none of the currently-available streaming protocols are designed to do it. It seems like it would be trivial to timing metadata in the stream, and have the endpoints buffer a second or two of data. Then you just need to synchronize every endpoints clock, but that's a problem that NTP has solved for years.
I believe that's true, but more like 3' or so. The thing is, laptop disks are very beefy - they can usually handle many many (30+) G of shock while operating. The system doesn't protect against short drops, because they don't develop enough force to hurt the disk.
When "a few" is 18 or so. I believe it was first on the T40s, and mine is around 18 months old. As I recall, it's more than just an accelerometer - the drives are able to park the heads way faster than normal.
The newer thinkpads do have a really neat display that shows you the orientation of the laptop as you shake it about. Not useful, but a very neat trick.
Is there a grid somewhere that indicates what's supported by the above toolchain? It seems like it'd be nice to develop to it, but I'd need to evaluate if it provided everything I anticipated needing before starting a project.
Thanks, lds (a soon-to-be coorporate java programmer).
If that guy says "y'know" once more, I'm going to jump through the internet and kick his ass.
In any case, the applications demoed look awfully stupid. "Look, we can display the data twice, and slightly shaking!"
I'm a grey box sort of guy. All of this doesn't seem very... useful. Just fancy looking. If I wanted that, I'd buy a mac.
3d UI work is definitely going to have a positive effect on how we use computers, but this guy appears to have ignored that and built something much worse than the current technology instead.

People who drink very little.
A case of bourbon would probably get me through 13 years or so.
Although, that assumes drinking habits don't change.
Holy crap that's attractive, and I already have a Zaurus 5000D.
Do the GPE PIM applets, particularly Calendar (I think that's it's name...) sync with/anything/? I've been having no end of trouble getting Opie's calendar to sync with anything that isn't the awful Qt Desktop crap or MultiSync, which isn't an option because it doesn't sync with my calendar-of-choice (a iCal format file, accessed by many Mozilla Calendar apps via WebDAV). Calendar syncing is a requirement for me, to the point where I'm becoming tempted to write some perl to SyncML my iCal store to my phone.
I watched 20 minutes or so of memento with the DVD player accidentally set to "Shuffle".
That was freaking confusing. The way the movie fades and where the track marks are, it was damn near impossible to tell that something wasn't working right. I eventually noticed the track numbers on the DVD players display, and remedied the problem, but christ was that confusing.

As someone who builds sets in his spare time, what would you prefer they were made with, if not some sort of plywood?

What amazes me is that on the new cisco ultra-router, the CRS-1, the slowest port it has is 10GigE. That's silly.

Granted, not super-simple, but certainly not hard.
Who do you trust more? The root servers, or speakeasy?
Hint: the answer is "root servers".
