Java != JavaScript
There havn't been many sites with Java Applets for a long while. This was the only use case for the plugun, and it's unrelated to 99.9% of the use of Java 'the langauge' and the JVM
Not really a fair comparison. The web is constantly changing... new standards, new threats, new technologies... so there will always be changes.
I can see the slashdot headline now 'stale Firefox no longer relevant: devs fail to keep up'
If you want to turn your back on a wortd of culture and social interaction, sure. I'm sure Skye is beautiful, but how easy is it to :
see world class theatre
eat in a great restaurant from any conceivable culture
meet new people
Solitude is not to everyone's taste
Would you insert your favorite plaything inside something controller by softare? Possibly running Windows XP? Pneumatic actuators? Be sure to make sure you get it all back, the doctor might be able to stitch it back on.
I'll ignore the ranting tone and respond, enven though you are the anonymous coward.
I'd repeat my ANPR anology: these cameras catch uninsured drivers, bail jumpers, drug dealers etc. On balance I see that as a plus and I'm OK with the fact that as a result of these the police in theory could track my movements.
You reallly should try to learn to argue rationally, rather than resort to risible insults
How can your presence in a public place ever be 'private'?
This seems like ANPR to me: if it catches a criminal before he/she hurts/steals from me or mine, it the lesser of two evils.
X terminals certainly had a CPU and memory... albeit dedicated to grahpics display... the ones I remember were 68000 based.
Storage, granted, but that was by design. The IT department did not want you taking control of 'their' data
In the 80s and 90s. X terminals and the like.
Sooner or later the users want their power back.
It will be interesting to see what happend this time around.
Why?
If a manufacutere decides to use ANY software in his product, it's up to him/her to
A: test the software in the configuration he installs it in, on his hardware
B: fix bugs and provide patches/updates
This is irregardless of the provenance of the software. If its FOSS, there is at least the possiblity that bug fixes and updates will be provided for him/her by trhe community that wrote/supprts it, saving time and effort.
As was stated above, when you start making a profit from software, however it was sourced, the manufactureere should take responsibility for it, throughout its lifetime.

Are you missing some $ - and I don't just mean in your pseudocode?

huh? Germanium ranks near fiftieth in relative abundance of the elements in the Earth's crust. Was/is used in transistors - before silcon came along.
What you do/experience when you are young (smoking, drinking to much, too little sleep, bad excercise, bad housing ... etc. ) comes back to haunt you.

"Snark, sarcasm, insults and bullying are considered intelligent conversations" Sounds like Slashdot!
Barcodes :)
That's because they're all on the internet ... just not enoughto go around :)
Whoosh!!!
Oh l'amour !
So you don't think a drone sucked into a jet engine is a problem? Isn't that why they keep falcons at airports, to keep birds away?

You can't rate a supplier if you're dead

Don't forget to take your meds
