I should imagine that they've used something like EJB too, since Oracle is javacentric. It's not to hard to design an EJB system that chokes under load, and they had quite a load, now if only they had found out what load the system could manage before releasing the software.
Can't you use a socket? or a a meatier flash that supports some debugging functions. I can't believe that the electronics world is stuck in the stone age.
With a few macros is not much more effort and type safe so no more bug prone than C++, and I get 'direct' vtable access without hacking which is more control and more reliable. I also get the benifit of nice compile times and portability and not having mangled names at the mercy of the compiler.
Personally I'm a C++ man, but only because operator overloading is cleaner and doing it the C way, and I get templates and namespaces in C++.
Given all you know about genetics. Does a virus have the 'potential' for life, e.g. could it one day develop into a multicell organism.
Personally I take the mirror image view on life and say that everyone and thing is just a collection of particles and life is just an electro-chemical reaction.
That's why I talk to my computer, one day it will be alive.
Is a Virus living? What about bacteria? What about the single protein that causes CJD? What about a pint of beer, or some new way of making a plastic that uses designer bacteria in the process.
After a while it doesn't matter any more, it takes less time to pick up a new language to a generally competent level (the level of most programmers I know) as it does to fit into the new job.
Skins just look like another way to break an application to me. It takes quite a bit of work to design a good sandboxed skinning framework, probably more work than designing a SpyBot remover.
If you want skinning, use X and QT or GTK, both support skinning out-of-the box at a toolkit level.
1: Credit cards take interest at the end of the month, if you pay off first then you make the equivilent interest. 2: You get interest on the money in your account until you make a debit transaction, because you have to take cash out before you shop you loose interest on it for the time it is in your pocket. 3: They didn't teach me that at school your officer, so the Government can't think that's it's that important.
Trying to make it work in 2.6.1 is much easier than trying to make it work in 2.6.10.
Stabler ABI's would mean that it was just as easy to get the driver working in 2.6.1 as 2.6.10.
If you want 'cutting-edge' use cj patch-sets to the main branch. If you want 'bleading-edge' go for unstable.
The kernel is getting too many drivers for the level of ABI stability, someones got-to support those drivers or the quality of the kernel drops. I don't mind poking around and fixing a few bugs here and there but I don't want to make a day job of it (well unless someone will pay me!).
'It's not stupidity. It's a different way of viewing computers'
When I say stupid I mean stupid ignorant not stupid IQ lower than 20. A lot of non-techie people can quite haply update their computer. Think of this, your friend is so 'lazy' that they get you around to cook their food, so one day you decide that it's better for then to stay hungry so that they actually bother to do something for themselves.
Most of the people I know who don't cook, don't because they are too ignorant to bother finding out how to, just like most computer uses who don't patch their PC.
They won't really starve if you delete all their files[probably spy-ware, porn and a few flash games] and they may start to learn a bit more about the computer.
Well, the linux kernel has never had a stable ABI.
My version of stable is bugs being fixed not new features being added or the function of existing ones completely changed.
I have worked on and fixed some drivers and areas of the kernel, things like ADSL modem drivers, a PCMCIA network card, and a couple of broken things in USB, so i don't have a problem fixing things (so long as the target isn't moving faster than I am!)
I've had lots of problems with the 2.6 series, I kinda hoped it would be a bit more stable after 2.4 and the VM. The sooner the fork to 2.7 the better.
How is the GPL hampering ATI from fixing their crappy driver?
The 'trade secret' argument for most drivers holds about as much salt as a tin foil hat, ATI or NVidia may have a couple of fancy routines that are general but most optimisations would be tied to the hardware.
It is also trivial for anyone (Say Cheep3d Inc) who's got a couple of months to spare to reverse engineer the interesting bits of the driver.
ATI can't say that it's closed because they need to maintain quality, because their drivers crap anyhow.
It's easy to encrypt/etc and/home under linux I don't know why distributions more don't do it as standard. 25% extra CPU for loading apache.conf isn't going to kill anyone.

Ever tried to program in visual basic?
'coding' in xslt isn't too bad, and sometime's it's really useful, jsut look at struts.
It's easy with stucts and you get more controle,

operators and renderer are a bit of a pain but not too much.
main(){
Renderer* renderer = CreateRenderer();
renderer->vtable->spin(renderer

spinfunction(renderer* This, Cube* cube){

Renderer* CreateRenderer(){
Renderer* renderer'
renderer=malloc(sizeof(*renderer));
renderer->vtable->spin = spinfunction;

1 pot of rooting hormone.+ 1 splinter = 1 tree.
If it's a willow splinter you don't even need the rooting hormone.

And when I patent your genes I'll be synthesising you in a lab so I can do cosmetics experements.
It's also possible that you 'are' a virus, or at least retro viruses (that are part of your DNA) may have had some effect in human development.
Which bit of you can I patent before it becomes unacceptable?
Usually they patent the method of producing the drug not the drug itself.
1 problem.
Is a Virus living?

I thought it sounded quite melodramatic, 'thousands of miles from !!NOWHERE!!'
too many B movies.
I'd still like to squat the island.
You've got enough stuff to make a generator, food for life a nice beach view and hot running water, why bother with the SOS.

You pay tax and get ripped of by your Christian government who seems to like killing too.
Deal with it.

I would say the people not patching are so stupid that his reasoning fits quite well.

'In other words it will do nothing.'
Except make more people poorer.
