    Nope. You be wrong. Just because you can spell doesn't mean you're smart. What does the A in ADSL stand for again? And WHY does it stand for that? HMM?

    Yeah, too bad paying per minute is a more capitalist concept than paying by the month, or you'd have a point now, wouldn't you?

    OK dumbass, I just looked at the article. Here's a hint, you don't put 'SIC' in quotes when it wasn't in the original source material.

  8. Re:Salon Addresses this very issue on Prevailing Against Michigan Censorship · · Score: 1

    Hey there, do you see the phrase '[sic!]' after the word 'f _ _ _ ?' That means "spelling is correct," as in, the phrase is reproduced exactly as it appeared in it's original medium. 'Sic' is ONLY used when the spelling is actually wrong, and a publication wants to point out that they transcribed it from inferior source material correctly. It's an ego thing for publications, mostly.

    Enjoy those horse blinders much? Are De Beers and Shell Oil absolved of guilt merely because they're flagships of the great wonder of capitalism?

    What the hell? I thought SSL was a transport protocol, that just happened to be encrypted. Even a description of all methods of using SSL with your favourite programming language AND a description of a sample implementation of SSL (for those who like wasting their time reimplementing protocols) would take less than the full length of a book.

    Most of all, what would happen to my God-given right to have policemen force my will upon strangers hundreds of miles away?

    New York asks itself this all the time. Maybe you didn't notice, being a raving lunatic and all, but New York is resposible for more death and destruction than the most evil communist countries ever was.

    I have very little doubt that their news division would be decimated and its quality would quickly fall to the level of, say, Fox News.

    Well, it's a bit too late for that. I don't know if you've noticed, but CNN is a cess-pool of propaganda.

  22. Re:Interesting, but no point... on Sun, Jxta And Promises · · Score: 1

    The topic of conversation, I believe, was the amount of memory a Java program used on a server. So you can count out StarOffice and MS Office. Then, you realize that Apache is just a static web server with what basically amount to 'plug-ins' for dynamic content; not sure what C/C++ OR Java has to do with that. Finally, you have Linux and W2K, and as both are statically compiled OSes (programs, really) at their heart, the language they were written in is completely irrelevant.

    there are enough evidence that the LOC of C/C++ and Java for a same application is almost same.

    Obviously, since Java has a nearly identical syntax to C++, well-written programs in both languages will have approximately the same number of lines. However, Java doesn't have cruft like operator overloading, resulting in incompherensible bugs when your junior programmer overloads =, [] and * just so that he can practice his mAd skillz.

    besides, there are C/C++ apps that matches every Java apps in real world, i don't see your point why hiring a Java programmer would be cost saving ?

    That's why everyone is rushing to implement their mission critical web server back-ends in C, I guess. [shrugs] Actually, I'm not sure what you meant by that, what kind of 'apps' are you talking about?

    did dot.com crash have something to do with Java/Jini/J++ ?

    No, but 'dot.com crash' apparently had something to do with logical fallacies.
