The difference is that Microsoft took the Sun Java implementation and modified which broke the terms of the license they had from Sun for access to the source code.
Google just looked at the specification for the Java language, wrote their own compiler which produced a completely different bytecode (its register based as opposed to the stack based byte code of Java) and then wrote a virtual machine for that bytecode. Later they ditched the virtual machine and now compile the byetcode to native machine code when you install the application.
The other reason is that US students at age 18 are behind their counterparts in other countries. You get to 18 in the USA and your qualifications are as far as I can make out roughly the same as a 16 year old in the UK. This was abundantly clear in the notes for a number of my text books back when I was studying for my physics degree. They would specify the level of study that the text books where suitable for. In fact one of the books we used in the final year of my *undergraduate* degree suggested that it was suitable for masters degrees in the USA. In fact most masters degrees in the USA take two years where in the UK they take just one year.
Put another way you can get an undergraduate degree at either Oxford or Cambridge in three years. Both of which are in the top 10 universities in the world, with a reputation to match. If offering degrees in three years was a bad thing how come these two are managing it?
In fact University College London and Imperial College London are also in the top 10, so that is 40% of the top 10 universities in the world offering degrees in three years.
If you are doing a file server, then SATA multiplexers are more than adequate especially for what Backblaze are doing. Let put it this way 45 drives is 9 SATA multiplexers which at 3Gbps SATA is a total of 27Gbps throughput, more than enough to saturate two 10Gbps Ethernet links.
However you can get 6Gbps SATA multiplexers these days, and Backblazes latest pods have 60 drives, so that is 72Gbps, which is nearly enough to saturate a couple of 40Gbps Ethernet links.
People always and I mean *ALWAYS* overestimate what is required for throughput to file servers.
Maybe he was referring to the fact you can lock them down tighter than any Apple device? Which is IMHO actually a great selling point of the Fire line, they are the best devices for young children going, especially as they now sport a microSD slot so you can load them up with video content.
You have to die of something. Neil Armstrong died aged 82, Buzz Aldrin is 86, and Michael Collins is 85. So all the three Apollo astronauts lived longer than the average male life expectancy for the USA, which wikipedia tells me is 76.9 years. In fact they all managed better than the average male life expectancy of the top country in the world; Japan which has one of 80.5 years.
So while you might be at some elevated risk of dying from heart disease if you go into deep space, and the sample size is way to small to actually draw that conclusion.
Looking at Apollo 8 through 11 so that's 12 astronauts into deep space they have *ALL* lived into their eighties with only one dying (Neil Armstrong), who also lived into his eighties.
I can't be bothered to click through on the rest of the Apollo missions, but the only Apollo astronaut I am aware of not reaching their eighties is Ronald Evans from Apollo 17. Basically the Apollo astronauts looks to be living *VERY* full lives if you ask me.
Really there is huge gains to be made in the drive trains for electric vehicles? May I scathingly ask where? Is it the motors - nope they are already ludicrously efficient. Is it the gearing - nope nothing new going on there. Is it the power electronics - I guess some small gains may be made here but nothing radical. So where exactly are the substantial gains going to come in the drive train then?
Improvement in electric vehicles will all come from the power source, be it batteries, fuel cells or something else. Anyone claiming anything else is selling snake oil.
There are ways around that so you don't have to actually deal with lusers when they delete stuff. The down side is that your tape drives might be busier than they would otherwise have been.
The latest version of TSM or Spectrum Protect as IBM now like to call it has a web GUI designed for end users to recover files for example.
Then you didn't read the ESL link, because there are several different methods of obtaining ESL milk, the main ones that are pushed in the UK at least involve separating the cream from the milk, ultra-filtrating the milk to remove all the bacteria, and then pasteurizing the cream before blending them back together. Presumably there is some reason preventing ultra-filtration of the cream.
One of the methods also involves centrifuging the milk which is another way of separating out the bacteria without using heat.
I am going to have to call you out on that. But heat treating milk whether it is for pasteurization or UHT, cannot and I repeat CANNOT diminish the calcium in the milk.
If it did that would be revolutionary low temperature nuclear reactions that defied all known laws of physics and would most likely kill anyone in the vicinity with lethal doses of radiation. This is the sort of crap that Fleischmann and Pons where spouting and more recently Andrea Rossi.
Whatever heat treatment does to milk and I am not going to be so stupid as to claim it has not effect, it most emphatically DOES NOT diminish the calcium content of the milk as to do so would require by definition nuclear reactions which only morons would claim could occur.
You are dead wrong there. If you have a VDSL2 circuit then you mostly use PPPoE, unless you are with TalkTalk in which case you need to set your router to do a VLAN insertion and there is no authentication whatsoever.
If you are going to pull someone up, make sure that you actually know what you are talking about in the first place.
I would also note that most people in the UK could simply put their mobile phone into hotspot mode and leach off their data allowance for a backup internet connection. As such the majority of people have two internet connections even if they don't know how to use the second.
I think the statistic for auto-brake last I saw was an estimated 14 billion Euros a year in savings from crashes that not longer happen. That is a lot and I mean a lot of money to be saving and there was a not insignificant number of lives to be saved as well. Basically the return on investment is significantly greater than one, so it is a no brainer really.
Of course it's not so good if you are an auto crash repair company or on the organ transplant waiting list, but that is the old buggy whip problem.
Yeah and I just watched the other week a Top Gear episode where a Tesla X out performed some Dodge muscle car, so clearly there is still *WAY* more torque in that motor than necessary for normal driving.
That depends I suspect on the legal jurisdiction you are in and the nature of the rights the other party is attempting to get you to sign away.
Certainly in the UK there is a whole bunch of legal rights that cannot be signed away in a contract. So for example on purchasing a fridge you cannot sign away your right to a two year guarantee. If the contract does attempt that then rather than the whole contract being voided the legal principle is to void the term that is not legally enforceable.
This is really long standing English Common Law that pre-dates by centuries the traitorous rebellion by the thirteen North American colonies, so I would be surprised if it was not also the case in the USA.
No what happens is the clauses that are unreasonable aka giving your first born up are struck out of the contract and the contract continues as is if those clauses didn't exist. That is what happens is exactly what most sensible people would think.
The idea that the whole contract is marked null and void is fanciful thinking from someone with no legal training. I don't have any legal training either, but having two siblings who do, one of which is a judge and this stuff rubs off on you.
Really, Dr. Kelly clearly took his own life after he majorly bigged up his roll in the production of the dossier and this was just about to come out. Basically he threw his career down the toilet and was unable to live up to it. The idea that the UK state had him bumped off is plainly ridiculous. There was no need he was about to be utterly humiliated all of his own doing. People commit suicide for FAR FAR less.
That's what I was thinking. Oracle are playing an amazingly stupid game, because if they get the ruling they want I can see IBM coming after them for a *LOT* more money over this. I would be wanting hundreds of billions of dollars if I where IBM.
There has been armed police at UK airports since the Abu Nidal Organization (a militant Palestinian splinter group from the PLO) shot up the El Al checking desks at Rome and Vienna airports in 1985.
Interesting thought. One would imagine that identifying the font first should radically improve the accuracy of the OCR on all those difficult bits like 1/l etc.
Ask the Argentinians just how easy it is to dog fight a Harrier jet. The short answer is you can't. Every time you get behind them they just pull up to a stand still and you find yourself in their sights again.
While it is usually your fault it is not *ALWAYS* your fault if you rear end someone. Two examples I can think of is someone pulling out of a junction with insufficient room to do so and you are unable to cut your speed fast enough to avoid a rear end collision. It's not your fault.
The second would be someone changing lane into your safe stopping distance and for some reason you being unable to get a new safe stopping distance in time to prevent a rear end collision. Again not your fault.
Basically if someone moves into your safe stopping distance right before an accident it's their fault not yours.
I have a dash cam for any moron who does that and tries to claim it's my fault. I will see them in court with full video evidence, though I suspect they will back down before it ever gets to court.
Because downloading a torrent is a public viewable operation. Where as capturing the stream on your browser just looks like normal legitimate viewing and far harder to trace. Therefore there is far less chance the copyright police are going to send nasty letters asking you to settle out of court for a not inconsiderable sum of money.
