A classic case of "Security through Stupidity".
But then again, the U.S. of the last six years has been "Everything, through Stupidity" through and through.
Am surprised it came out of the New York Times though...
Azureus is a good example of the only Java application that I use regularly (aside from Eclipse). And it is also based on SWT. I don't care what the acronym is supposed to stand for, I say SWT is short for 'sweeeeet'.
I share the sentiment, that is why Enterprise's first season drove me away from it.
Luckily I just happened to watch an episode from the 2nd season on a boredom streak and was hooked. Somehow they regained the storytelling ability.
I'm wondering if Majel Barret/Roddenbery got involved.
The last episode of season two, and almost all of the season three episodes are excellent in the same way (IMHO) that ST:TNG was great.
Human intelligence, or HUMINT is mostly done by recruiting and operating local agents who are already of the target culture, not by infilitrating that culture (very hard to do) except in Hollywood movies or very very rare cases (sleeper agents etc.)
As long as you compile with JDK 1.5, the new language features are available to you now -- except the generics implementation of the collections classes and even that is solvable.
This is because the bytecode generated by the JDK 1.5 compiler is 100% compatible with JDK 1.4.
Well the court ruled otherwise. Ethical or not, it is a breach of anti-trust laws.
Besides they had other draconian licensing terms such as prohibiting OEMs from bundling Windows in a PC which dual-boots another OS (see the BeOS vs. Microsoft case).
Seriously though, basically this chip can do very quickly what the SETI@Home software does on PCs. Fast fourier transforms and the like... Think about completing a calculation unit every 30 seconds instead of 8 hours and 40 minutes. That is the ball park. I wonder if the precision will be the same.

Bluetooth is dead because of UltraWideBand

Is Bluetooth Dead?
·
· Score: 1
The industry knows that UltraWideBand will have 40 times the bandwidth while taking a tenth of the voltage that Bluetooth does, and that has the potential to be cheaper per chip than bluetooth. Also, Bluetooth patents are majority owned by Ericsson while UWB companies are heavily invested by Motorola, Nokia and other cell phone manufacturers... They are not pushing Bluetooth truely.
A better solution would be if the DATA attribute would contain the BASE64 encoded URL. Flash would have to update their player to work with this... This way the patent breach is passed to plug-in makers, is it not?
By generating the ActiveX create control client side in a JavaScript. See here.
IANAL, but it seems to me that this work-around simply puts the responsibility for the patent breach on the web-site owner and not Microsoft. Lets see Eolas go after and sue every Joe WebMeister. Let me guess, they'll go after the pr0n sites first?...
Funny that you'd mention that, as Eclipse -- also by IBM. Is basically an open-source rewritten-from-scratch (in Java) version of the VisualAge for Java IDE. Take a look. I've been using it for developing for over a year while my co-workers toiled away at JBuilder. Luckily for them they have IntelliJ now which is better but still, they can't go around and change stuff about it they don't like -- tough for them... heh
If the melted water will help absorb more greenhouse gases, that means that the world will cool down, and the ice will form again.
Sounds like a natural thermostat that dampens the ice-age / draught cycle -- Nature is clever.
Because the 7E7 is Boeing's latest vaporware.
Yes, vaporware exists in other industries, not just I.T.

Do you see any bears around me? No? Then my Bear Repellant Stick(tm) must be working -- As Seen on TV. Come on! The CIA hasn't been effective for ages. If anyone has prevented any attacks, it has been the work of the NSA and the FBI. The CIA has been moderately effective in processing Alerts from foreign intelligence bodies such as the Mossad, which they have grown rapidly dependant on.

In their quest to show as little information as possible into as much screen real-estate as possible, Microsoft has set a new record.
"Oh! I have an idea!" said one Microsoft senior engineer to his underling, "Lets make all the fonts and icons bigger so we can ditch that accessibility control panel and replace it with a "My Yet Another Other Stuff" folder. "Oh yes!" shouted the underling, "and that way we can perhaps hide how painfully slow we make a super-computer crawl."
The Firestar saga is about a billinaire industrialist who starts her own space program. However, her main motive is fear of killer astroids, not scientific curiosity.
WordML isn't stripped of the formatting, it is simply very obfuscated XML -- but it will be translateable / transformable as soon as we gets our hands on it. That said, however --
I'm still waiting to Microsoft's other foot to drop -- namely, they'll patent some part of WordML or go after people who reverse engineer it using the DMCA. *Sigh*

BSPlayer lets you speed up/slow down any video file, except for some weirdly encoded WMVs. Excellent for 2.0xing the pr0n from puretna.com.
