Will it contain the extreme violence and nudity, or will that be censored?
If its strict cable, I suspect it will be censored. If its premium, is there enough fans willing to pay to keep it alive?
Maintain the server that does the complexities, and all you need is a Java client that talks to it. The Java client handles the multiplatforms, and the C++ backend does everything efficiently on a server.
actually, I heard that the bricks of the Nintendo Complex in Japan are engineered pretty cleverly.
If you take one and smack your head into it, a coin pops out of the other end.
They'll have the cash in no time.

Because J2EE is slow to develop in
I'd argue that if you use 2.0 EJBs and JBuilder, I could code just as fast as any regular language, but scripting languages are easier to slap code into.
Now, good scripted PHP vs good abstracted OO Java. To code from scratch, PHP'ers could lay down code quicker. Java is easier to maintain and easier to add onto (if properly architected). In the end, I'd call it even ground.
slow at executing
Java 1 was slow. That was like 5 years ago. Go download JBuilder and run it. Made in C++, right? BUZZT! Its Java. Java has come a long way.
J2EE is beautiful in theory, but not in practice
Well, my job is a J2EE developer, so I guess the complex, enterprise level application that is running currently in front of me isn't java, cause it isn't beautiful in practice.
Anyone with that only on their resume will have to shape up the next years, when PHB's stop buying that particular buzzword and move on to the next.
Go look at monster. J2EE is one of the few languages that people have been hiring in throughout the recession. That doesn't sound like something PHB's are gonna just stop hiring.

whether they get a performance/speed/efficiency boost from PHP
PHP, even with mod_php, isn't going to give any type of boost over a proprietary C/C++ app other than maintainability. The reason I butted in suggesting J2EE was the easy clustering, database pooling, and data caching that goes above and beyond what mod_php can do.
Why not switch to J2EE? Obviously, this is an extremely large enterprise web-app. They could take full advantage of all EJBs and Webapp clustering. I just don't see why you'd use PHP, when J2EE has so much more of an advantage on an enterprise level.
On reading the slide show, the reason not to pick J2EE: you can't really use Java w/o threads
Threads support on FreeBSD is not great
Is this really a bad thing?
Especially for the advantages EJBs give you??
This is from an anonymous reader. So Taco could of done what some other editors sometimes do. They post the link with their own words, instead of the posters. No one is going to get hurt (hey, if they cared, they woulda posted logged in), so make it a story that doesn't make Linux users look like the whiny children no one wants to listen to.

Think about it. What does Linus say about Windows? He doesn't care? You mean he hates it right? What? Doesn't care one way or the other? Maybe you should too...
Its what I've been saying for a long time. Zealotous Linux users are just as bad as complete MS supporters. Closed mindedness happens at both extremes.
But the only replies you (and I) will get is how slashdot is biased and to go elsewhere if you don't like it.
Honestly, Slashdot is a news for nerds site that SUPPORTS Linux. The users are the ones that make it either "Linux, or else". I use both. That means I'm the enemy.
We are ignorant when it comes to life. What exactly is life? We only know what life is within our world.
Astronomers get excited at the fact that we can find water on Mars and Europa, meaning they could have life, because our knowledge of life involves water. But, as far as we know, there could be life on the moon, we just aren't looking for it correctly.
If (or when, depending on your philosophy) we find extraterrestrial life, it will be when we aren't looking for it, IMHO.

She did it because Microsoft told her to do it, and paid her.
Wow, so you think that a company with thousands upon thousands of employees that not one of them takes a easy way out? She figured the best switcher was herself, and made the ad. MS found out either:
Early, before the media did, and tried to keep it quiet, but she got caught or
Afterward, and realized she screwed the pooch.
Either way, its not like MS execs sit in their boardroom and say, "OK, I got this plan to make a switch ad with our own employees and no one will figure it out!!"
The point is, when you have an enormous company, the execs can't keep track of each individual employee. That's why you spread the authority around. I'm sure the PR woman's boss is also getting the axe. It happens in business.
For a good mix of mathematics and computational theory, look at the man that fathered computers: Alan Turing. Any book that mentions the experiments and papers of Turing will have good bits on what you want (pun intended).;-)
Uhh... they have had commercials out for this for a while now (I'm talking a few weeks). With the guy in the suit... the "Its the static, ma'am" guy. I'm surprised no one else has noticed before me (hey, I got a TiVo and FF through commercials). This isn't anything new.

You're ticked that it costs so much, but you own one, right?

Umm... there's companies that archive all legal documents of ALL cases in EVERY city/county/whatever. And its fully searchable.
I'm sure its size overshadows the vactican's archive.

What are you talking about? Graffiti marketing has existed for years. IBM's Linux ad campaign comes to mind, because you read it on Slashdot.
The butterfly guys in costume isn't original either, but its on a scale much larger than I've ever heard about (for an ad, at least).
I don't think the grandparent was talking about it being legal, but being 'ok' with the slashdot crowd. He was right.
Go look at the Linux graffiti story. Every is happy that people are learning about linux.
Look at the high scores here. Taking jabs at MS or general complaints.
