Skype is actively blocked here in EU by many ISPs, because some big telcos and their ISP branches decided that Skype is eating too much into their pie. Skype is notorious low bandwidth app so claims of bandwidth concerns etc. are ill-founded. Canada is showing some sense and those EU drones in Brussels should do something, a constitutional amendment perhaps ?
If you keep lingerers for more then 160 seconds then no wonder this is possible.
It should be non-issues on better designed servers that keep an eye on connections anyway. Any single IP spawning lots of unfinished connections gets flagged fast and remembered for the future, so it will get limited access and bandwidth, marked as abuser etc. This is serving 101.
Thank you for this sir.
Google gives you Java (for App Store), but their own applications run native code? Google enjoys the power of native code and you are left with Java, so you are a second rate Java developer from day 1 on Android ? Google is more insulting to developers that Microsoft or Apple ever were.
Windows CE runs native, the portability point is pretty invalid. Also on iPhone I have proper GCC/G++ compilers, I do not have to rewrite everything to some other language. Google should do the same as Apple and give us GCC, Java should be optional not mandatory.
And you can distribute and install whatever Java code you want
OK, some people do not have a time to rewrite their applications to some interpreted language.. Windows CE and iPhone are perfectly fine platforms regarding this, they run native code no problem and you can deploy that code in the App Store.
Native code is not officially supported. The Android-SDK gave me Java last time I tried.
The trick of native code is that you do not need to buy expensive hardware to run you application at decent speed. You can run your server even on ARM Cortex while Java needs some expensive hardware to be even considered. Cost saving, green technology, etc. that is what native code enables. While Java is designed to sell pricey hardware from day one.
I have to reiterate this again and again. This might be unrelated to the story, but that is the problem that is keeping us from switching to Android.
I mean 20+ years of experience and all perfectly working C/C++ code and libraries have to be thrown out of window ? Cmon Google. Java is a nice toy, but unfit for production, get real.
Apple and Microsoft gave us native code with full support, native code comes first on their platforms so we are able to get maximum from the given hardware, lots of people will never downgrade to Java, sorry.
It would be interesting to see what will Intel pitch against ARM's current superior offering. ARM is cheap and already has Power-VR OpenGL accelerator and other stuff integrated, while being very power efficient. Bundled GPU and power efficiency is a deal breaker in the mobile arena. Intel doesn't have integrated GPU nor a track record of being very power efficient.
Discovering a prime number that distant from the zero is like discovering a Pluto like planet in outer space. But instead of Hubble telescope you need a powerful mathematical one..
Ability to access human information networks must be one of the human rights.
This access has to be untampered, unrestricted, non-censored and privacy has to be respected.
US/EU constitutional amendment should be issued to support this cause.
Also net neutrality has to be of utmost importance. Preventing corporate influence and fair competition in the global networks. Constitutional amendment should cover this also.
Network stack doesn't run in parallel therefore there is no need to use multiple CPUs to service network requests. Even worse, multi-tasked servers perform much worse then single threaded servers. The bottleneck is the network end not the CPU anyway.
The most interesting part is that those devices have integrated CPU/GPU/Video Accel. on a single chip. Something that Intel, AMD and nVidia is pursuing for a long time, but these ARM based solutions from Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and others are delivering now and the performance / power consumption ratio is already impressive.
The problem seam to be how to retain the "secret ballot" in the e-voting while bring in means to verify such an election. Two seemingly conflicting options.
To not vote is an option too. Also the disclosure might be limited to certain level. Or the voters can have assigned IDs and not names directly, but everyone should be able to verify his vote, and see it counted at least at some local level. I am assuming e-voting of course.
secret ballot = unaccountable game
We never know whether the count is right, because the people who count the votes, the people who pass the information or the people who disclose the information could easily 'make mistake'.

Chrome is not written in Java
Thank you for this sir.

iPhone Access Structure is locked down
Sure, and btw, nicely designed Apple tinfoil hat.

Is this suppose to be symbolic ?

I used 'Aliens' as a hyperbole used to signify we have no means to protect ourselves against event such as this anyway..
The yield of such a gamma ray blast might x-ray and bake us pretty nicely, but it might be distant enough, hopefully.
Windows Help could at some point in the future use Mozilla to render
What kind of weed are you smoking there ?
Nice to hear that, but are there any USB 3.0 devices to plug ?
Sorry chaps, but seeing the iPhone App Store, the Xbox Live marketplace etc. This is a last decade of media based content.
And the PSP Go will be a success story.
As if cramming 50 VMs into one rack has not been sinful enough.
The glory part? You charge 1 VM server for about $40 a month.
and also converts 3D to 4D. Amazing!
vote = GetVote( );
/s
if( vote = my_candidate )
{
my_candidate_votes = my_candidate_votes + 2;
} else {
other_candidate_votes = other_candidate_votes + 1;
}
In the source code as complex as this, you will probably need a PhD in computer science...

Mod parent up.
You have very valid points sir, thanks.

I am excited about this, of course. Just joking and poking around..
They should have sent a manned mission. I heard the suicidal rate in Russia and China is one of the highest anyway..
