    Check out OpenJDK and Icedtea. Oracle is suing Google for Java related patents, but that doesn't affect Java developers, because any Java implementation that conforms to the old specs by Sun is covered.

    So your private data will just spread through the many-many mirrors, like bittorrent data does? Is there a way to limit, how far it'll spread?

    I can affirm that, Hungarian has double negatives. IIRC German and Spanish has them too. My guess is that English is actually an exception banning double negatives.

    MMmm let's guess, decrease minimal wage to stay competitive? (And the workers living in slums.)
    Eventually that's where it leads, or you just forget free trade with countries like China.

  7. Re:You gotta compete on the global marketplace! on GE Closes Last US Light Bulb Factory · · Score: 1

    I'm not an economist, but if I understand correctly, the Chinese government is fucking its citizens over with this policy. The "free markety" thing would be to set the market the currency value. Basically the Chinese government keeps the workers poor to retain competitive advantage.

    And I agree with GP that giving them most favoured nation status was a big mistake. Actually, I would go further and require certain workers' rights for MFN status as well.

    When the youth has risen in 1956, Hungary still had a ham fisted dictator (Rákosi and co.).
    The Tianmen square thing was organized by students, who had lived abroad long enough to just forget where the invisible boundaries are.

    Look, Hungary was governed in the last 8 years by the same people who cracked down the 1956 revolution. (And they were elected democraticly.)

    There are lot of knock offs in commercial gaming: just look at the zillion FPSes.

    However I found some really brave and innovative opensource games, like Tremolous and Globulation.

    1, Sorry but the word socialism is/was "trademarked" by the Soviet Communist Party, and they called their (and our) system socialism.
    2, Please cite Swedish politician calling their system socialism.
    3, "But socialism means that the workers, the people who actually create all the stuff around you, were in control of the state. And in control means that THEY are telling the police how to act, direct the army, and generally elect whoever they want to elect. Are you going to tell me that was a good description of Hungary?"
    Are you telling me it's a good description of any current European country? (There are no planned economies here but market economies. And not only workers participate in politics.)

    4, Even if we take your definition, socialism doesn't mean that in Europe since 1917.

    5, I know what the GP was trying to say, but you know, words have meanings and they're not freely interchangeable. I want to educate American ./ readers: taking your definitions from Fox news and Red Scare propaganda isn't a good idea.

    6, Whoosh.

    "And Sun may have open sourced Java SE in 2006, but looks like Oracle closed it again in 2010. So your point is a bit weak. (And you're talking Java SE, not the whole platform)"

    If you opensource something, you can't take it back again in the case of GPL and LGPL. OpenJDK and IcedTea are under GPL, so what's your point?

    Sorry, but you missed the point. Automatic doc generation is good, but we are speaking here about style. My point is that document your functions as an API even though they aren't exposed to the external world. And at harder parts it should be in the style of tutorials.

    Think of comments as an API documentation*. If something complicated is going on, I usually include several usage example as well. Just look at the documantation 3rd party libraries, and try to follow that granularity and style.
