IBM WebSphere was always tightly tied to specific versions of Java. My guess is that as an "enterprise" application, they decided to rely on "enterprise" vendors that have a tendancy towards this kind of stupidity. Using mostly Apache projects you don't tend to run into these problems.
Are you sure it wasn't since 2010? I still have Office 2007 (what new features worth upgrading for has Office introduced since 1997?), and there is no sign of it there.
If you have to ask Slashdot, then I'm afraid that the answer is no, you have reached the end of learning new tricks if you cannot figure something this simple out on your own. The good news, from the experience of an even older programmer, is that this does not happen to everybody.
In other words, it is nothing to do with analog vs digital, but about having failsafe mechanisms that contain the damage when all your control systems go wrong. Failsafe mechanisms tend to be "analog", as they need to be effective even when the electricity and anything else that can fail has failed.
It makes sense if you are a selfish right-wing arsehole who would rather see your excess cash going to a bunch of your rich chums rather than being redistributed among the proles by the government.
The New Zealand Maori (of which I am a member) sometimes claim that our culture promotes sustainability and care for the environment.
I suspect that when animals are hunted like moa, rather than gathered like shellfish, then it was more difficult for the tohunga to spot that there was a supply problem that needed to be addressed before it became too late.
And while you can obviously fly over Malaysia without one and not raise an eyebrow, getting over Western countries without a transponder might prove more difficult.
When was the last time a Western country intercepted a commercial airliner flying along established air corridors at 23000 - 45000ft because its transponder was not working? Do we really know that this would have turned out any different if the countries involved were different?
Suicide is the wrong word. Did you ever see the media call Columbine a suicide? Why are they overlooking the other 238 people that the pilot would have taken down with him if this scenario is the correct one? If the plane was deliberately crashed it was a mass murder, not a suicide.
In that case, the store could decide to file a criminal complaint against the child.
The store doesn't have standing to file a criminal complaint against the child, it was not their card. Quite plainly they failed in their duty to ensure that the person using the card was the authorized cardholder. The contract with the credit card company is quite clear that it is the store that is liable in this case.
Nope, people *think* they only authorized one payment, because they don't know how the system works.
What they actually are authorizing is a 30 minute windows of purchases.
I'd be very surprised if their agreement with the credit card companies allowed open ended authorizations like this. Certainly the consumer laws in many countries do not, which would leave the credit card companies holding the ball, something they try very hard to avoid in their agreements.
Also google gives you the option of getting the app off the play website and downloading it.
I think you mean the option to make the purchase on the website and push the app to your phone. But are you sure that makes any difference to the 30 minute window?
Also, at the time the iPhone was being developed, a number of other vendors were developing similar devices - Apple just happened to get to market slightly before everyone else and did their usual job at marketing (Apple are *really* good at marketing).
Basically, Apple made a good call on the timing of reentering the market, at the time that the hardware became available to make a smooth UI with a touchscreen that was suited to operating with fingers rather than a stylus. It also had the advantage of being both a hardware and software company, while other hardware companies were mostly relying on Microsoft to catch up with the capabilities of the hardware. They also made some good calls on which new technologies to adopt and which to wait for - at the time the iPhone launched, smartphones had moved from 320x240 displays to 640x480 and were in the process of moving to 800x480 with the new support for higher resolutions in Windows Mobile 6. Apple chose 480x320 initially, which was an important part of getting the UI graphics and video playback working well with the ARM11 processors that were available at the time.
Perhaps they need to look up the doctrine of equitable estoppel. You can't just sit there watching your patented technologies enter into common use across the industry and only then start demanding ridiculous licensing fees from your largest competitor.
I'm pretty sure one of my old 1990's phones had a feature like this too. It wasn't touchscreen, but using the D-Pad you could jump to what the phone had identified as phone numbers within an SMS message and hit the dial button to dial or phonebook button to save it. Is it really innovative to extend this to touchscreens, email and web pages?
Yes, the rules for cryptography exports are more stringent, but Iran, North Korea, Syria and a few others are completely banned from any trade, with exceptions only for humanitarian purposes, which I don't think would cover Coca Cola. And (apart from Cuba), not just by the US, but by UN sanctions which most countries have coded into law. For crypto or anything that could be used militarily, there is a much larger list of countries, plus organizations and individuals, some of which are located in countries which you might otherwise consider safe.
When you arrive at Shenzhen International Airport, be aware that the official taxi rank is at the other end of the airport outside one of the domestic terminals, poorly signposted from the international terminal. Anyone offering you a taxi at the international terminal is a tout for the illegal taxi mafia who will announce a sudden price rise when you are on the motorway, and if you protest will exit the motorway into a deserted industrial estate and dump you there (if not rob you).
I've played with some VM's but there is a problem -- limited access to the actual system hard drive.
I don't know what VMs you've played with, but I once managed to completely screw up my Windows installation by a slip of the key in a Linux VM - putting/dev/sda where I meant/dev/sdc.
Seems credible to me that they could take second place once Blackberry is fully gone, if they can crack the Asian market, where right now you're right.
Microsoft will never "crack" the Asian market, they plainly just don't understand it. For instance, in the most linguistically diverse region of the world, they ship a version of Windows 8 called "Single Language Edition". And then they wonder why Asia is still mostly running off pirated copies of earlier versions.
Being long in the tooth I do all my web development via Perl using my own nice call back templating engine and of course CGI.pm.
Having seen some Perl web scripts that very much do not meet this description, and some PHP that was nicely templated I can say with confidence that it is not the language that is at fault here.

It's not the Boolean type that is making the difference here (C99 has one), it is the fact that "hello" == 0 in PHP is doing an implicit atoi("hello").

I'm aware of the differences in administration load between a VPS and shared hosting, it comes down to how much freedom you want over what you can do with the server vs convenience of not having to deal with administration, but generally shared hosting is a step down on the cost scale from VPS, so the $100 for Python or Perl hosting makes no sense.
So both yours and your kids 2 year old phones are running the previous major version release of their respective operating system (as Android 3.x was never released for phones). What was your point again?

You need to look into security policies so that does not become a wide open hole for any remote site to exploit.

Which would be a bit difficult, as Java 3 never existed. It wasn't until Java 1.5 that Sun decided to drop the leading 1 for marketing purposes.
