Just today on/. one "C" tweet that can crash a Mac, now the second one that creates an IP stack out of one liner. Can your prefered language be so badass?
Fine for many types of inventions, including medical drugs
It is NOT fine for software, but certainly it is NOT fine for medical drugs. Can anybody else enhance failing Tamiflu now when Roche holds all the key patents? Thousands might or have to die because Roche is blocking others from the drug developement, it might not be so, but certainly possible. Similar in software, I have to pay $600 for Adobe CS4 as nobody can't produce similar tools because Adobe have their 'patent portfolio' there.
Simple, people and businesses are moving to great new places, more friendly, more free, less policed, less constrained, nicer and richer. In the post 9/11 world you can't even cross US border without harasement. US forgot that freedom and business freedom especially build its success.
We prefer decimal system to binary or hex, the original parent and the IEEE is right, it might be painful for the old-schoolers but it is more sensible to general populace to prefer decimal system here, most people know nothing about hexadecimal numbers or binary code.
I disagree, how do you prove somebody was texting ? How do you prove persons real involvement ? Most road incidents are true incidents and not homicides.
Also client/server model of these networks would require Live servers (Xbox) to enumerate Sony clients on PSN and vice-versa, that would mean sharing network authentications/certs/codes and such. That can't happen as it would give the enemy access to your network, for example all updates to your protocols and similar things would require negotiation with the other network, managers on both sides would be scared to do that.
Sony's marketing team trumpets many things... but the fact is that Xbox 360 is more powerful then PS3 if you mean to use it for programing and rendering games, Google Valve or Activision and read their opinions regarding the matter.
I know what you are aiming at but still, computer behind the NAT is more secure then the one on the public IP.
The computer behind NAT can't be port probed from external address or act as a proper server, big difference. This (NAT) will shield it from 0day exploits of vulnerable OS services for example.
IPv6 is not welcomed mainly for security reasons as every average user on IPv6 could be turned to a tier 1 internet server, serving malware or spaming around. No wonder China is pushing IPv6 as it is a perfect vector for spying on their citizens.
The Internet is improving everyday as better routers, faster servers, new better cables/antennas are deployed, the last mile connection options are also multiplying. IPv6 is put on hold as there is no real need for it at the moment.
If you are ok with calendar apps and Tetris for games then Java is probably ok, but Java driven Android will have a hard time to stay competitive against WinMo, iPhone, Linux, Symbian, Zii Plaszma, Nintendo, Pandora and Sony devices as developers of more demanding software would prefer these native code platforms first.
Porting your C/C++ code is by far the quickest (for a little more advanced stuff), if you do it the right way. I mostly only tweak the platform dependent files, a few lines of code. This is fun as you can get the most of the platform you run on by seeing the hard performance of the metal at hand directly and not through often lagging Java interface. Also C++ is much more advanced language then Java is, then why downgrade to Java only to slow your apps and limit your development? On the other hand to have everything written in Java on platforms like PC or OS X would mean forcing you customers to install often intrusive Java runtime, this is not an option for many.
Another problem is Java development IDE or IDEs that are lagging, slow and unreliable in general (this might be a personal bad experience) not to mention people have their own development environments that only need compiler/linker/debugger exchanged (often GCC anyway) and we are good to go. This works for devices from or by Microsoft, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Zii, Pandora, Linux and PC. Now Android is something very different.
This is about having a software that is written in C/C++ and doesn't require much rewrite on other platforms, but to port it to Android you have to do much more, you have to inescapably deal with Java, this costs additional time, effort and the viability of such a port is uncertain. Java should be optional secondary solution not a primary development platform.
No they didn't, this is a joke-DK Java binding madness. I love Android, but can't code for it, with such an offering people will stick with the old guns WinMO, iPhone, NDS, Symbian, PSP etc. using real devkits. Even the upcoming Zii Plasma looks like heaven compared to this, not to mention Zune-HD..
I thought that the show stopper is Java/Web applications support only by Android and missing native apps SDK, i believe iPhone went ballistic right after the SDK for native software has been released and Apple got rid of that 'web applications only' mantra.

Thank you Nokia! Now drop the MOC from QT and everybody might consider your platform.
Hey India, maned mission next time around, show us some drama.

These IEEE recomendations seam like common sense to me.
1 KB = 1,000 bytes
1 MB = 1,000,000 bytes
1 GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes
And for you droids and androids out there:
1 KiB = 1,024 bytes
1 MiB = 1,048,576 bytes
1 GiB = 1,073,741,824 bytes

Slackware Slim wanted. I have to agree, trim it down to CD or even better, downsize it down a few megabytes so one can run it off the flash drive.
Thanks to Mr. Transistor.

I would still trust more western developers then Japanese marketing trumpet here.
with the stronger hardware of the PS3

Imagine multiple shell accountS, steering a botnet of floating oil rigs. Run!

You do not show white people in Nigeria to boost your business either. Normal business sense.

Will the qualification process work quickly enough to match the growth..
Well China 'trust farmers' might be already hard at work.
