Java has *always* been controlled by a for-profit MegaCorPirate. Just recently the captain of the ship was changed around like the dread pirate Roberts.
This is nothing new. Well there is one thing new. The new Pirate is not bankrupt.
Its worse than that. Its more like we just don't like Oracle. Seriously, even if you get a free pony with every java download, the headlines will slam Oracle because the pony's aren't pink, clearly because they are just obsessed with profit.
Ironically most of my ex workmates that still work in a lot of enterprise places are happy that java is finally moving forward. There was indeed a consensus that Oracle can't be worse than Sun.
I know quite a few companies that have a very strong dislike of Sun with some of their corporate licensing shenanigans. Its not like IBM or Sun are the saints of the corporate world (where did the nick "big blue" come from again... or no one gets fired for buying IBM?).
Also folks seem to forget that originally there was not JCP. Just like C# (I think), java was a company language. It got popular then, and JCP was added later.
Thanks--I got the stats from WHO around the time of 9/11 (so probably data from 2000), that's quite a drop. Per km I assumed the US would be better. However per capita, well we have a lot of people here in the EU that don't drive...
The US has a annual road toll of about 50000. That's pretty high and IIRC quite a bit higher per capita than the EU. Yes Europeans drive less. But we still love our cars, and still drive a lot.
Bad code in *any* language is bad and unsafe code, but java (as a language) has some features that make certain types of errors hard to make. Having said that, to "certify" a java app for say FAA standards, you would need the whole JVM stack(java platform) to be certified. Its a long way from that, that's for sure. The license even says something to that effect (as your link shows).
On the other hand, cars have very lax rules with hardware and software compared to medical and aeronautics. Hell just about any loser can work on a car, including the breaks.
So yes. I think java (the platform) is the wrong tool for the job. I would expect some kind of real time OS and associated tool chain and hardware.
Trains use a driver because its still one of the best "camera" identification system. It can spot the difference between a pattern of leaves vers a person/tree/cow much better than machine vision systems can. For now.
Of course trains like the TGV that can't stop fast enough anyway, its really a bit moot. Some train systems are becoming driver-less. But its pretty limited.
Given how bad many drivers are, this will be trivial to show in the not so distant future. However liability will be an issue. Also irrational thinking along the lines of "I know i am a better driver than the machine".
2 1/2 hours of driving doesn't get you far in the US. Hell i have friends that commute to work in about that time. But even without the extreme east to west coast travel, many "weekend", or thanksgiving travel plans are impractical with driving. Assuming you want to do something other than just drive.
Metal slug was awesome like that. It was all the little details, considering the low resolution etc, its funny talking about details. But a lot of games lack that kind of polish IMO. I even like some of the sequels.

So you want our perfect, blameless, glorious leaders to decided what information is good for us instead?
Consider that with the internet these leaks can still happen. And all the informants names would not be redacted. Would that make you happier?
So is the road to heaven. You not going to get to heaven without good intentions now are you.

I was often told that my alignment had shifted to chaotic-good. Now i know why. ;)
The Taliban or Al Quaida don't claim to be a open democratic (Representative democracy etc) government for the people.

This should have been done with java 1.0
Fact is that most "mainstream" languages are often way behind (read decades) what we know in terms of R&D for programing and compiling.
Sun release schedule? There was no schedule, which is why java 6 has been around for years, while we wait for 7, that's never ready.
Its worse than that. Its more like we just don't like Oracle. Seriously, even if you get a free pony with every java download, the headlines will slam Oracle because the pony's aren't pink, clearly because they are just obsessed with profit.

My experience is that 80-90% think they are in the top 5%. ;)

Its a IIRC one.. Which i originally dig up off the WHO site. But can't be bothered doing again right now.
Well there has been work done on real time GC (as in with true real time guarantees). But i don't know if its out of the lab yet.

..but I don't really see any other endpoints.
This is a classic failure of the imagination on your part.
Its also devoid of facts, or historic perspective.

Yes, but the pat downs you get at Heathrow were very benign compared to what the TSA is doing.
Last EULA i read did not require me to submit naked pictures of me and my family. This is nothing like a EULA.
If people stop following illegal orders there wouldn't be a problem.
The person giving the order, the person following the orders and those that know about it and do nothing are all guilty of the crime.
You do something illegal, saying someone told me to do it is not a defense. Your parents should have taught you that.
We live in a world where airplanes attract way more than their fair share of terrorism..
No we don't. We live in a world where cowards like yourself believe that despite the massive weight of evidence.
Some guy putting his hands on my dick is not making us safer.
You mite enjoy that kind of violation by some random can't get a job at the home depot guy. The rest of use what to choose who does the dick touching.
