    Us Europeans will not miss it one bit, the European printing business that was behind this legislation however will miss it quite a bit since Google News is a major source of users that end up on the various news papers sites.

  2. Re:Python or Java Couldn't Exist w/o C/C++ on The Internet Has a Huge C/C++ Problem and Developers Don't Want to Deal With It (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You say dozens but I could only find 7 projects that claim to be Java Operating Systems and out of them only 3 didn't require to run atop of an existing OS (aka they required to run from a JVM). Perhaps that exists more out there but too be honest it looks kinda thin.

    The ones that I found was:
    JNode : microkernel in assembler
    JavaOS : microkernel in C
    JX OS : microkernel in C
    GVM : runs atop a JVM
    Alta : runs atop a JVM
    J-Kernel: runs atop a JVM
    JikesNode: runs atop a JVM

    The most prominent ones are JavaOS from Sun and JX and they both run atop a microkernal written in C for the obvious reasons that I've already stated. Compiling Java to native does not magically introduce things that are not normally available in Java if run on a JVM. I'm no Java hater (I kinda like Java) but one have to accept that it has it's limits and being able to provide 100% of what a OS needs is not one of them.

    For that to work you also have to add functionality to the Java language that does not exist there yet, which is the reason why not a single Java based OS to this date have written such a micro kernel in Java. As Java stands right now something have to provide what the JVM provides (threading, memory allocation, communication with the underlying hardware and so on), whether you compile to native code or not have nothing to do with this.

    That's not how things work. Since he is there on his on volition and Ecuador granted him asylum it's the responsibility of Ecuador to fulfill these conditions. If he surrenders to UK police I'm quite sure that they will honour article 14 while he serves what ever time he will for skipping bail. And Sweden have no say in how Assange spends his days in the Ecuadorian embassy nor how the UK will treat him.

    More like putting a termination to the extradition agreement between Sweden and the UK, something no prosecutor in Sweden would want to be responsible for. Also Sweden is a heavy export country so creating such a huge political scandal between the two countries would be seen as very bad by our big exporting companies that have big influence in politics so no few politicians would want to bear the blame for that either. Not to mention the political and economical implications of been seen as a country that cannot be trusted to honour agreements.

    But it's not the US, the UK or Sweden that is hosting him as a prisoner so it doesn't matter that they have all signed article 14.

    No you are completely wrong, the UK extradited him to Sweden under the specific requirement that he would only be tried for the Rape matter. If Sweden had decided to extradite him to the US then they would have broken their extradition agreement with the UK which would have quite grave consequences.

    Problem with that theory is that the Justice Department didn't prepare to prosecute him them. But now that he most definitely isn't in Sweden they are, so how exactly does this relate to Sweden at all? I would say not at all.
