The possibility that our weapons might prove a threat to a culture capable of mere interstellar travel (let alone "intergalactic") is about the same as an ant colony against the U.S. Army.
and we all know about the ant overlords.... HAIL, ANTS!
Seriously though, why doesn't Apple sponsor this experiment? They named the open source part of OS X Darwin, they've already taken their stand. Becoming the only company with the guts to do what they've essentially already done, but by overtly putting the money forward, would be good advertising.
Laser printers take a lot of power when standing by, like copy machines.
my LaserJet 1022nw draws only 3.5 watts according to the spreadsheet available at energystar.gov, and that's with 802.11g running so i can print wireless.
You just said they don't want to destroy us, just to withdraw... Or do you ment the politicans in the last paragraph?
well, i think it's one of those situations where these particular terrorists believe there's no way we'll leave without really tearing our country down, so they're trying to really hit us where it hurts. but were we to suddenly stop parking military bases next to the largest supplies of oil in the world and withdraw, they'd probably just passively dislike us and do nothing. but what's the likelihood of that?
"the terrorists" that i know about, those being those affiliated with "Al Qaeda" (which was a name invented by the U.S. Government, look it up) really don't give two damns about the patriot act. they want the US to withdraw its forces from Muslim holy lands, and they want to depose many Middle Eastern governments in favor of more Islamist ones. and they're quite vocal in saying so, if you read any of their pronouncements.
let's not misapprehend the aims of the people who seek to destroy us... it lessens our ability to counter their goals.
yeah, CrimsonAvenger, let us know how you feel about intra-governmental loans when you go to collect your social security and that IOU comes up instead...
actually, some Java OR frameworks *do* do stuff at runtime... it's called "bytecode enhancement." Hibernate uses this to allow for lazy loading, for example.
i guess the question is, does it make sense for your application to be continually figuring out what it's database schema is at runtime, when it usually changes so little once the app is developed. i can imagine for smaller projects with light loads and in RAD situations, this makes a lot of sense, because you're exchanging a little processing overhead for a lot of flexibility during development. but for large databases with lots of simultaneous users, where the database is never changed, or even was set in stone long before the app ever came along, using tools like Middlegen or XDoclet to do things like this at compile time makes a hell of a lot of sense.
Relax, take a deep breath... Fox was merely reporting...
The Associated Press reported this story; Fox merely put it on their website. not your fault, as you were led astray by the author of this Slashdot posting.
it's REALLY important to distinguish a story merely printed by a news source from one actually authored by one, especially from a news outlet like Fox...
it is fucking annoying to have some twerp refactor the code base so the code you are working on suddenly won't compile and you have to go searching for where all the methods have gone.
if your methods are getting broken, then it isn't proper refactoring, is it? your problem is a behavioral one, not a problem with refactoring. you have to make sure your team all is on the same page.
I think you'll find that the java.nio classes are actually non-blocking IO, not native IO.
actually, it stands for New I/O. the OP might be confused because it generally contains some APIs that are closer to the OS than the java.io.* ones are.

is it me, or did this animation start to become laughable right around when the narrator managed to spit out the phrases "Googlezon" and "Newsbotster" without laughing his ass off? i mean really, how much Vallium did this dude have to take to do that with a straight face?
is there any indication that the discovery of this so-called 'dark fiber' could change our understanding of if the universe will end in a singularity or endless expansion?

d'oh, i meant *exhibit*, not *experiment*. oops....

that must really roast their beans. har har...
i think ABC just got Apple to get us to do their dirty work...
is the portal for that in the Depths or the Spire?

are you sure you had to do Integer? i mean, the OP says any non-zero number. i was thinking of trying something irrational or imaginary....

i backup to the toilet every night, but i've never had the courage to attempt a restore.

it's called The Manchurian Canidate. if i remember correctly, they trained some black people, too. :)
