Aptana is really good, it knows all the quirks of different browsers (shows compatibility info in content assist popup box).
However if you want an editor that's easily extendable, then use JEdit. Scriptable in Beanshell, has a lot of plugins, borrowed all the good stuff from emacs without the cruft. Oh, and it uses the standard Java regexp library, so you don't have to learn another regex dialect. And plugins aren't hard to write either, you can learn how to do it in an hour or two.
I never felt the need to use such range types, and can't imagine a situation where it would be useful. People usually want signed, unsigned or freaking huge integers. Sparing a few bits of memory doesn't turn me on.
Biginteger for the rescue. Also most hacks for signed to unsigned conversion uses Biginteger. (Mask out parity bit, add to bigint, then add 2^32 to it.) Maybe Sun should have included this hack in a utility library:)
I like the IDEs (both Netbeans and Eclipse; Netbeans for the form editor, and easy installation of Glassfish; Eclipse for the very good content assist/fix suggestions), the ORMs (through JPA), I think EJB3 is quite nice, however there seems to me an overabundence of servlet frameworks (Spring, Struts, JSF etc.) And most of them have a pretty steep learning curve and lacking documentation (I learned JSF so far, as it's standardised through JCP; and that's the best documented). But it's weird for me that it has so many expression languages stacked on top of each other that seem redundant and plain confusing. And the enterprisey mindset with astronaut architects, who don't ever touch code is pretty repulsive, but I think at it's core J2EE is quite good technology.
You're right. What is Java desperately needs is more cowbell.
Toplink was out in 1998, Hybernate was out in 2002, in 2006 came out the JPA standard, that gave a uniform interface for both..net got LINQ in 2007, how is that beating Java in ORM?
"But, 'out' and 'part of standard Java' are two different things" No, they aren't . Specs being out means part of standard Java. Hybernate existed years before that.
More than a dozen people connected to the site were arrested after police officers in Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands raided several residential addresses and data centers.
Spain has a tax on empty CDs/DVDs. Wasn't the justification for that to be that it would make non-profit piracy tolerated? (In my country, Hungary we have a similar tax, and it protects users of pirate sites.) This is the first time I hear that users of pirate sites are also prosecuted in Europe. What next, bittorrent users? (Like with Hurt Locker in US.)

You mean suspend/resume? That was deprecated like 10 years, but functions required to do it right were in from the beginning (since 1.0).

There are obfuscators, changing function names to two letter ones, and removing whitespace.
You can leak memory in every programming language.

Ghost have upgraded AI, not the original. Also, you can enter the competition writing ghost AI as well.
No, it's a sum of random events + culling.

Didn't you knew, MAD MAX stood for MAD MAXicans?
Everyone knows the zombie apocalypse is already hapenning: it started in Germany, and authorities are lying that it's E coli infection.
Biginteger for the rescue. :)

Java 2,3,4,5,6 run on Windows 2,3,4,5,6, respectively.
Java has JPA which would have been a really nice ORM... about five years ago but technology moves faster than that.
And it came out exactly five years ago.
"The final release date of the JPA 1.0 specification was 11 May, 2006. "

Or did you mean JPA 2.0?
IIRC java came out earlier with ORM, than MS. (Also see Toplink)
Ok, then I misunderstood "a dozen people connected to the site were arrested" expression. I thought that as IP connection log.
Europe and Japan already has well below replacement fertility. US is at equilibrium. Africa continues to be a hell hole. Nothing new here.

So did education, housing, healthcare become cheaper?
This business law prof says, they didn't.
